Sheriff Rowf the Kobold

STR: 7
CON: 8
DEX: 10
INT: 18
WIS: 14
CHA: 9

Once upon a time, a husband and wife team of human wizards came upon a destroyed kobold village. They found one survivor, a tiny baby kobold no more than a day old. Being kindly and childless folks, they adopted the small quasi-canine being and raised him as their son.

Rowf grew up to be not only a kind and intelligent fellow, but a pretty fair mage. One day, he left home to seek his fortune in the world. As luck would have it, he found Oak Hill not 3 days walk away from his parents house.  The village was under attack by bandits, but with a few spells, Rowf soon had things under control and the bandits in custody. The townsfolk offered him the job of sheriff and he accepted.

Rowf lives in a modest house behind the sheriff’s office/jail with his wife, Lorinda (also a kobold) and their 3 kids.

In his spare time, Rowf enjoys fishing, hunting and playing poker with his buddies.
