![[Gorzak Ironcrust.webp]] # Grogak Ironcrust _Half-Orc Baker | [[Neverwinter]]_ ## Summary Intimidating half-orc who runs [[Neverwinter]]'s most militantly organized bakery and chief rival of [[Dorbin Stoutfoot]]. He discovered his passion for baking during military service. His rivalry with [[Dorbin Stoutfoot]] and the [[Stoutfoot Caravan]] stems from three consecutive losses at the Great Harvest Festival — defeats he attributes to inferior judges rather than superior competition. %% ## Now Running his bakery in [[Neverwinter]], stewing over his festival losses. ## Appearance Massive frame squeezed into a flour-dusted apron, tusks that protrude when he scowls, and surprisingly delicate hands for his size. ## Personality Perfectionist and quick-tempered, but secretly compassionate. He takes tremendous pride in his craft and is hurt by any suggestion it's mediocre. He barks orders and gestures with whatever baking tool he's holding, and keeps a "grudge board" cataloging every complaint and suspicious judging decision. ## Quote _"You call that kneading? My grandmother's corpse has better technique! And don't you DARE squeeze my bread rolls!"_ ## Connections **[[Dorbin Stoutfoot]]** — chief rival, tied to three festival losses. ## Secret Despite his intimidating reputation, he secretly leaves day-old pastries in alleyways where street children gather — a practice he'd deny vehemently. ## Stats **Base:** Commoner (MM p.345), with high Constitution and Cook's Utensils proficiency. %%
