Rod was from a long line of Goblincrushers from a long time back. The Goblincrushers were charged with keeping the lower caverns and tunnles in the Maniss Mountains free of Goblins. Rod was very good with a warhammer and quickly learned to use it very well.
Durring a scouting mission to check out rumors of new goblin incursions, Rod got seperated from the rest of his group. When he realized that the others were not near him, Rod stopped and listened for any sound he might hear to help him find his fellow Dwarfs. Rod heard the sounds of many feet moving through the tunnels. Moving forward, Rod spied s group of four Goblins sneaking down the tunnel. Rod was sure that he could take the goblins out before they could call their friends, so he ran up and attacked them.
Rod killed two of the Goblins before they knew he was behind them. When the goblins saw Rod they called out for the others. Before Rod could move away, he was attacked be more than ten Goblins. Rod managed to kill several more before they overwhelmed him and beat him into unconsciousness. As Rod fell in oblivion, he knew that he would awaken from this attack, so he said a prayer to Thor his God.
Rod found himself in a great hall with torches burning along the walls. Rod looked around and saw a large human sitting at the head of the largest table in the hall. The human waved to Rod to come and sit next to him. Seeing no other people in the hall, Rod walked over to the table and sat down. A large mug of Mead was suddenly in front of him. Rod was so confused by this time, that he didn't question the mead. Rod drink the mead and found that it was the best tasting mead he ever had.
Rod looked at the human and was surprised to see that he looked both human and dwarf. The person looked at Rod and said, "You prayed to Thor to accept you soul as you lay dyeing. I felt that you could more helpful as a follower of Thor walking the lands and helping others. Do you agree with my proposal?"
Rod thought for a long time while his mug never seemed to empty. He relised that he could return to his home and do this God's bidding od he could remain here forever. Rod did not think that he would be happy here in this empty hall for the rest of time. He Looked at Thor (who looked more like a dwarf than before) and said, "I do not know of I can really help anybody or not, but You should know better than me on what I can become so I will agree to your terms."
Thor looked at Rod and nodded as ir he expected no other answer. "Very well, you will be returned to the place from whence you came."
Rod felt himself falling through a dark space. He saw himself lying on the floor of the tunnel just before he fell to the ground. Rod felt as if he had been smashed flat when he opened his eyes. Rod felt something on his chest as he lay there trying to recover his breath. When he picked up the object, he was that it was a hammer with the name of Thor in runes around the head of the hammer. Rod grasped the handle of the hammer and felt himself filled with power of Thor. He looked down at himself and saw that all of his injures were healed.
Rod wa able to retun to his home and told his family that he was now a Chosen One of Thor.
