Tallossin Trailmarker & Sarabian Drowslayer

A couple of weeks back, a friend of mine got a hankering to run some old-school D&D using the Labyrinth Lord retro-clone rules. I started gaming with 2nd edition AD&D, so it was an interesting and fun experiment to try an earlier incarnation of the rules. With five of us each playing two characters simultaneously, we had a large but not particularly well-rounded party: heavy on Elves and Halflings, but not a single Fighter or Cleric! Still, there was some great role-playing to along with the the kicking of some kobold- and giant rat- ass, and we even managed to make it through the session without any serious casualties (there was an embarassing moment where we all panicked and ran frantically to escape the giant rats, but maybe that part gets left out of any Bardic verses about our epic adventures).

Hopefully we'll get to pick up the game in September, but in the meantime here are my two characters: Tallossin Trailmarker (a talkative and somewhat starry-eyed Halfling) and Sarabian Drowslayer (a would-be general, out to restore her family's honour).
-----------------------------------------------------
Tallossin Trailmarker is the only son of the legendary halfing sheriff Tobias Trailmarker. When Tallossin was just five years old, Tobias heroically died defending the village from a marauding ban of orcs. Ever since, Tallossin has wanted to live up to his father's image--but there's a catch. Tallossin's mother has her eyes set on a bride, Trethia, for her son, along with steady employment in his Uncle's cheesemaking shop. In order to escape a sedate and (to his mind) boring life, Tallossin has fled the village without authorization, carrying his father's shield and sword, in order to make a name for himself as an adventurer. He knows the only way he can return to the village is by having such amazing exploits that all will be forgiven, and he'll be named the next sheriff.

Sarabian Drowslayer comes from a long and distinguished house of Elven adventurers, but the House has fallen on hard times--evidence has been brought forward alleging that its members have been trading with dwellers in the Underdark.
