The Adventure Zone: Here There be Gerblins
PhatCrab for Merle Highchurch
This is one of our lead characters, if you're cast to play him, be prepared to be in it for the long haul.
Merle is a Dwarf Cleric, who travels the land, armed with his Extreme Teen Bible, spreading the word of his patron deity Pan. He's definitely a bit on the dull side and spiteful to a fault, often coming up with wild plans that tend to backfire or invariably get his party into even deeper trouble. He may also very well be the /worst/ Cleric of all time, tending to favor his war hammer, and his favorite spell, Zone of Truth, over ACTUALLY HEALING HIS PARTY! Despite his questionable life choices and use of his Cleric abilities, Merle truly believes in the value of life and nature, and he's a loyal friend to his fellow party members.
For Merle, I'm looking for an older voice in the Mid-to-Low range. His player Clint spoke in a slight southern accent, and I believe if fits the character nicely.

May I Say somthing? (Excited) Have you hear the word of Pan today?
(Indignant) I would be more comfortable if you would let ME decide where my blood is going to be coming from!
(Cocky) Yes! I cast Zone of Truth, which forces you to only say true statements! No one within the ares can resist its power! Including mys- (realizing what a huge mistake that was) Ah dammit!
I like your take on the character man! My only problem is that you're going waaay too fast on the lines. Slow it down a bit!
Not a problem! I'll resubmit a slower take for you!
