AD&D Monsters As Characters: Rowf the Kobold
Oak Hill has a mighty fine sheriff, and he’s not the kind of monster you might expect in that position.
AD&D Monsters As Characters: Rowf the Kobold
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 swore that they would raise him as their son. They gave him a proper kobold name, Rowf, and spare nothing to bring him up properly.
Rowf grew up to be not only a kind and intelligent fellow, but a pretty fair mage. He specialized in fire and earth spells, but knew a fair mix of others as well. Eventually, Rowf left home to seek his fortune in the world. As luck would have it, he found Oak Hill just a 5 day walk away from his parents house. The village was under attack by bandits, but with a few spells and a lot of bravado, Rowf soon had things under control and the bandits in custody. The thankful townsfolk offered him the job of sheriff and, having nothing better to do, he accepted. He has been sheriff for the last 22 years.
Rowf lives in a modest house behind the sheriff’s office/jail with his wife, Lorinda (also a kobold) and their 3 kids. He has a deputy now, in the person of one Enrique the vampire, who naturally works the night shift.
In his spare time, Rowf enjoys fishing, brewing beer and playing poker with his buddies.
