Ever vigilant and noble, a Heimdall avatar appears as a very white norseman in both complexion and garb, though he may disguise himself to test the senses of the faithful from time to time. In any case, he is often sent to check on key clerics, priests, and other guardians, making sure they stay true to their wards and also if they need any assistance, which he will happily render if the former is the case. If not, then it is the guardian who will need to more closely watch himself!

DCC RPG stats: Init: +10; Atk sword +30 (7d8 +15); AC 24; HD 22d10; MV 25’; Act 2d24; SP Heimdall cleric spells/abilities (caster level 22), crit on 20-24; SV Fort +24, Ref +18, Will +24; AL L. 



Heimdall Encounters
1. The party comes to a 2d6 x 10’ long bridge that is made of (roll 1d6): [1-3] stone, [4] wood, [5] iron, 
[6] rainbow energy. There is a 75% chance that a follower of Heimdall is present to stand watch. If not, then he has either been overrun or will be back within 1d20 minutes (equal chance of either).

2. Unfortunately, a random, unlucky party member is challenged by 1d4+1 guards who are faithful to Heimdall. He or she has a base chance of being brought into custody depending on his or her alignment, modified of course by any other ‘interactions’ that might occur: Lawful (25%), Neutral (50%), Chaotic (99%).

3. Beyond all reason, a non-Bifrost bridge rainbow that touches the ground is found. It (roll 1d6): [1] has a singing frog playing a banjo, [2] can be walked upon, allowing (unguarded) travel to Asgard, [3] has 2d3 people acting very ‘argr’, [4] causes the party to debate for 1d6 turns about where the rainbow actually ends (save negates), [5] has singing, gnome-like beings who like falling houses and fear witches, [6] marks where a pot of gold with 1d4 x 100 coins is. In all cases, followers of Heimdall will not be pleased.

4. A pale norseman clothed in white watches over this area. He turns out to be a (roll 1d6): [1-3] Heimdall cleric, [4] Heimdall paladin, [5] Heimdall priest, or [6] Heimdall avatar. No matter the situation, he will certainly take a dim view of any invaders or others who are not where they should be.

Next week: clerics of Sif, part I!
