Garundyer

Yet another expansion to the existing Munchkin Quest line-up. Specifically in Garundyers case I wanted to expand his powers greatly so that he is the most powerful Orlanthi HeroQuester in Glorantha, whereas previously he was just a jumped up rune lord. Many of the spells and references here are from my Thunder Rebels and Storm Tribes conversions, and the Stone Rain spell comes from the subcult of Siglolf Cloudcrusher in my Henotheistic Church write-up, and the skill Del Chliss is from my Heroic Skills rules.

Garundyer

Male Human, Hero of the Seven Storms, High Priest of Orlanth Four-Weapons, Associate Priest of all other aspects of Orlanth, Associate Priest of Heler, Associate Priest of Mastakos, Watchman of Rigsdal, Initiate of Harmast Barefoot, Age 39

Spells Cast: Above bracketed statistics include Co-ordination 12, Strength 10, Countermagic 10, Multimissile 12 on three javelins (cast by allied spirit so only requires one casting), Protection 14, Second Sight, Vigour 9, Falling Star Javelin three times, Shield 14, Spirit Block 4. In addition Garundyer may use Fighting Storm, Undying Storm etc... as the situation dictates. He commonly opens up with weather magics to slow down his foes rather than engaging them openly (such as Black Rain, Rain, Increase Wind etc...). Given that if he burns about 50 points of rune magic it will have all returned within about two days, Garundyer is free and easy with his rune magic. He also has Bladesharp 13 and truespear cast via his runic ties on Framdyner, and Mobility 6 on himself, again from runic ties.

• Garundyer is the Hero of the Seven Storms and thus gets the following powers. From the North Wind he has the power to cast Snow and Blizzard at will with pointage equal to his POW, and can cast Command Snow Demons once a round on SR 10. From the West Wind he can summon a sylph at will with a SIZ of one cubic metre per magic point expended under his control (he can expend up to the Wind STR in magic points on such a sylph). The sylphs only last for fifteen minutes, even if bound. He can use this power once per day. From the South Wind he can cause a number of willing volunteers to a maximum of the Wind STR to go Beserk (as per the spell). He can use this power once per day. The East Wind can be used in two ways, the first is to attack buildings - inflicting damage equal to three times the Wind STR to the structure. The second ability is to steal sheep and carry them up to 10km away with a powerful wind with a STR equal to his POW and can steal a number of sheep up to his POW. Both powers can be used 3/day. The Lower Wind allows him to use Dark Wind at will (see Book of Drastic Resoltuions #3). The Upper Wind can be summoned, taking 10 minutes to arrive, and can take Garundyer and up to fifty others to the Sky World and back again. Mastery of the Inner Wind gives no game effect, but has made Garundyer very wise.
• Can Incarnate the Four Aspects of Orlanth. Each one gives him different powers. He can incarnate them once a week, for one hour at a time, but only one at a time (although he can prematurely end his incarnation of one aspect to use another). As Orlanth Four Weapons he becomes immune to all physcial and magical attacks i.e. weapons, lightning, falling damage, Sever Spirit etc.. and all his combat skills are Powered. As Orlanth the Thunderer all his Storm and Weather magic is maximally effective and instantly overcomes other Storm Magics that it faces. He is unable to incarnate Orlanth Rex currently until he is a King (a prospect which greatly worries Kochalong). It gives him immunity to wyters and the ability to cast Command Worshippers at will and an additional 20 effective magic points. Garundyer can only Incarnate Orlanth the Farmer once he has renounced his ability to incarnate the other three aspects. Once incarnated his land will be tended excellently, all of his comrades will work to the best of their ability and his produce will be free from disease. This is impossible to bypass except by the Infinity Rune.
• Can cast Lightning 8 at will and no magic point cost, for he is Yavors grandson.
• Can cast Night Vision and Vigilance 3/day with pointage = POW for he has served time in Orlanths Stead as a Watchman against the Dark.
• Can talk to shadowcats, who will find him very amiable (double all communication skills involving them) after he befriended Yinkin and returned one of his lost claws.
• Can hurl any flint tipped spear at a range of 80m and can guide it magically around corners, units of men or peoples heads etc.... Once it has travelled 80m it falls to the ground. He can also hurl a spear, leap atop it and guide it with his feet. He travels at move 12 and travels for 3 rounds before stopping.
• Can start the Lightbringers Quest at will, with no ritual. This is a one time only power.
• Can call upon Siglolf Cloudcrusher (see below).
• Has a maximum POW of 28 from Divine Heritage (which is increased further by runic ties).
• Has triple Free INT as long as only spirit magic from Orlanth is learnt and stored in his own mind.
• Has the following Heroic Castings; Truesword and Shield.
• Can recover Orlanth rune magic at the rate of 1/hour without prayer or need to be in a temple for he is the blessed of Orlanth.

Runics Ties: The following powers come from Garundyers runic ties. +8 STR, +10 POW, +5 DEX, has a permanent Mobility 6 (included in stats) and Bladesharp 13 and truespear (both cast on Framdyner and included in stats) - if dispelled they can be returned simply by Garundyer expending the magic points for every point in the spell (no action cost). Can cast Thunderbolt once a round at no magic point cost on SR 10.

• His magical wolf fur, taken from Vustria on a HeroQuest. It is an indestructible wolf pelt which holds four non-magical throwing daggers and his power spirits.
• A magical bone horn that allows him to hear conversations upto 50m away if placed next to his ear and to project his voice across the battlefield if placed at his lips.
• An enchanted iron target shield with the painted sign of a raging wind. It has 38 uses of Increase Wind bound into it. Once used, they do not return.
• Framdyner, his spear. It is magically flint tipped and the shaft is made of iron. Bound into it is his Orlanthi allied spirit. It has the ability 1/day to be thrown at a distance of 300m as if it was normal range. It has 25 AP's.
• Carries a magical javelin from Rigsdal. If thrown it returns to the attacker at the end of the round. It is also his Dispel Magic 4 matrix.

Siglolf Cloudcrusher

In brief, Siglolf is a relative of Hedkoranth, and is the Cloudcrusher. After being rescued by Garundyer from one of the Cloud Castles of Orlanth that was beseiged in Godtime, Siglolf has vowed allegiance to the Hero of the Seven Storms. Even when Siglolf was worshipped in Otkorion, he remained loyal to the promises he made to Garundyer.

Siglolf does not personally appear normally. However, Garundyer is followed by one of his manifestations, an enormous storm cloud, inhabited by the spirit of the Cloudcrusher. It is about 200m in radius, and can move up into the air, or settle on the ground (where it causes -50% visiblity penalty). If somehow defeated, Siglolf's manifestation is forced to return to the HeroPlane where it remains for one season:

POW 300
INT 17
Move 60

Rune Magic (207%): Divination (Hedkoranth) x3, Hail 30, Initiation (Hedkoranth), Throw Far 20, Worship Hedkoranth x10.

Runes: Magic 40, Storm 95, Mastery 20, Death 30.

Passions: Loyalty Garundyer 10, Loyalty Storm Tribe 30, Love Hedkoranth 25, Hate Chaos 30, Hate Darkness 10, Hate Fire Worshippers 20.

The manifestation has numerous powers:

• Can teleport willing volunteers which are touching it. They are sucked up into Siglolf, who can then whisk them away. He can teleport upto 10 people every round, and can "carry" a maximum of 70.
• Can travel through Middle Air as high as the Sky World.
• Can cast Stone Rain at will with an effective 150% chance to hit.
• Is classed as a minor temple to Siglolf, and a shrine to Hedkoranth.
• Within it's body it can generate wind STR up to it's POW.
• Can act as Cult Support, giving 3 Support Points.
