Adversaries Designed by GoodBossfights • Art by David Rhodes or Hammertheshark

Adversary overview

Grom is a stout dwarf and prolific gambler, a worshipper of the god of the forge and luck, who sees it as his duty to make sure powerful magic items are used only by worthy individuals.

“The fight begins, but the die is cast! All there is to do now is to reveal who won!” “You are unworthy of that weapon! Good thing I’m here to take it from you!” “You didn’t beat me you just got lucky!” “You don’t deserve that weapon!”

Will test his luck and take risky moves but he knows once he hits the jackpot, it’s best to take his winnings and live to see another day. If he escapes make sure to bring him back some day as a tier 4 upscale adversary with an ability he learned by watching the players fight.
