  • crummy wizard's robe
  • serpent power totem (47/50 uses, up to 20 STR pts per use for spellcasting) ("At a distance, it appears to be a rod, but up close, it is clearly a serpent shape. It is covered with runes and the serpent has many eyes---fifty, to be exact, three of which are closed. One of the runic lines reads, 'Good for 50 uses, up to 20 STR at a time---use of this product implies agreement to terms of the licensing agreement printed on the wrapper.' There is no wrapper to be found.")

Abilities/Hindrances

It is rumoured, but not confirmed, that he and his brother can share their brain, which makes endearing noises like <sploosh> and <slosh> when it is transferred. Like all Orcs, he has infravision, known to Dracons as HotVision™. Like all Dracons, he is partial to the expressions "Frak" and "Fewmets."

Background/Personality

It is rumoured, but not confirmed, that Taran and his brother Jax are twins.

In his first adventure, Ken St. Andre's Agents of Lerotra'hh PBEM, Taran got turned into a lizard, helped to uncover the serpent god Zweetz's invasion plans, and was the barbarian Orc Shaman Pardeloop's "worsth nightmare." Then he got killed by a flaming Balrog who fell out of nowhere. Didn't know that, did you? Well then you probably don't realize that his faithful brother resurrected him either. Well, I don't blame you. We haven't written that part yet.

Taran's second adventure was Goblins in the Mist, where he shot himself (Jax bailed him out again), got spooked by illusions and towering golems, and rode on a magic carpet.

Appearance

Taran is slightly leaner than Jax, though still quite burly. On occasion, it is rumoured that he is the handsome brother. Taran used to be missing a finger (Jax got a little too rough during swordplay), so he took to bowmanship. But, he got his finger back. Taran also used to have a lizard head. He got that back too.
