Dirzin Rumpclaw was a simple man on a simple mission. Protect Chondalwood and the entire halfling race from the rise of the Ghostwise and the coming of a second Ghostwise war. All but forgotten by their Lurien ancestors the Rumpclaw's took native wives, inbred, multiplied, and trained their young sons in the ways of war and manliness. Every generation would learn everything that the previous had learned, and then was expected to refine those skills, and in that way the Rumpclaw Clan became one dimensional badasses ill equipped for rigors of the real world, where diplomacy and tact are needed, but amazing warriors.
Transported to the Ziggurat, Dirzin started out as a hunter of Malar's curse, but found himself instead hunting other feral halflings, such as Adeladle Buttercup, who had gone on vicious murdering sprees and needed to be brought in to justice. On the urging of Drexia, and his own desire to be able to know more about the stargazers and their feral cousins, the Flayer, he joined the Conclave as Ridgeway's consort. After Ridgeway's death, true to form, his weaknesses killed him as he was unable to handle the final challenge of investigating this death of the man he greatly admired but never could really connect with. Straightforward violence did not win him many friends, and while he threatened death to many, he was not much of a killer, killing two PCs in his whole career, both with sizable bounties on them. Many were subdued.
Countless accusations were leveled upon me. E-EGO's were popped like zits. Dirzin Rumpclaw, though, did not have a single stat below ten and was not really that much of a power-build, though quite optimized to do what he did, kick ass. Luck and bravado were on my side, as well as a rumored to be overpowering claw, which of course was cursed to do terrible things to the owner... but I'll let the new owner find that out IG!
Here is a screenshot or Dirzin Rumpclaw facing down a giant arch-wizard. Too bad the dragon he killed died too fast for me to take a screenshot.

Toodles to all the players I interacted with, especially ShadowCharlatan (Who is just great, by the by,) and a shout-out to Karida for a great love/hate relationship, like some sort of binary star, two destructive forces about to collide but keeping each other honest and stable for a short time...
Dirzin was something else, and I really enjoyed my every minute with you. You marvel when it comes to kickass and I admire the hell out of you, so long chap. You will be missed.
awesome
Dirzin Rumpclaw was both a boon and bane for the Conclave. A powerful warrior who was a useful weapon, but also unstable and unpredictable.
Sad to see him die. :(
Good work :)
Cheers for an extremely dangerous yet sympathetic PC.
I loved Dirzin for being a creepy terrifying and fascinating badass, but I loathed him for stealing the position from me. :P
Awesome character. Absolutely loved him.
Very nice. I actually laughed out loud when you escaped my char with Eldridge in tow. Nothing like a scary bad-ass midget!
Sweet!
When the true King's murderers are allowed to roam free a one thousand magicians arise in the land.
I have deleted my own flame. :P
Dirzin Rumpclaw was fucking badass Good Job tea man
Putting cigars out of style.
I'm a bit late posting, but the Rumpclaw ruled. Too bad he didn't live long enough to have a litter of little Rumpclaws terrorizing the other kids.
He scared me when I played Ray, never had that before so to me thats a testiment of how awesome he was.
