Gore Gore

Gore-Gore the ManTauR · the Ochre Line engineer

The eight-foot, four-armed ManTauR engineer of the ochre-line train — a mead-loving Grull zealot who becomes a neighborhood boss when he learns the party derailed his train.

Story so far

Gore-Gore is the level-40 ManTauR engineer of the ochre-line train, drawn out of his sealed engine car when Carl deliberately derails it at Station-149. Believing the party were fellow passengers, the booming, blue-painted, Braveheart-cosplaying zealot 'hails' them as brothers and princess and — with Princess-Donut's charisma greasing the wheels — spills the engine-car's secrets: engineers drive through an 'abyss gate' just past stop 435 that teleports the lone engine car back to the depot (no memory loss, unlike the Kravyad-processed conductors), and no one but an engineer may ride car one, on pain of death. He reveals stop 433 is the last safe transit station, 434 is barren, and 435 is where employees portal home.

Retreating to Club-Vanquisher for mead, he learns from the ram-headed cleric that the party sabotaged his train and bursts back out screaming betrayal 'in the name of the exalted Grull,' triggering a boss battle. A whirlwind fighter with wrist-blades and a stone-hard body, he nearly kills Carl (and Carl nearly summons Grull via his gauntlet) before Carl drop-kicks him onto the electrified third rail, frying him.

Appearance

An eight-foot ManTauR: from the shoulders down a huge, strong man in a loincloth; where the neck would be, a second smaller male torso with its own arms, greasy black hair under an engineer's hat, gap-toothed, face and lower half streaked with blue war paint; retractable metal wrist-blades.

Role

The ochre-line engineer turned Grull-fervent neighborhood boss — a source of the floor's engine-car lore and a brutal fight.

Relationships
