Golbert Brownbutter
Golbert Brownbutter is a halfling cleric of Amarath and a member of the Shortstack Stranglers. Passionate, religious and a pacifist, he joined the guild to keep his friend Jinxy from dying at the hands of monsters.1
Unexpectedly for a cleric of Amarath, Golbert is quick to act in most situations. He does not regard violence as a last resort and believes it is sometimes necessary to get things done, though against humanoids he fights to subdue rather than to kill. Compared with Jinxy he is new to fighting monsters and taking money for his services, but since arriving in Vansreik he has enjoyed his new way of life: he takes pleasure in helping others and in working beside his closest friend.1
In battle Golbert mostly supports his allies with blessings and aids his front line, and when the enemy begins to gain the upper hand he turns to magic that weakens them. His specialities are healing and the treatment of curses. He prefers caravan guarding and exploration, and he does not work with assassins.1
