Among heroic exploits I could mention
Is the time I slew fearsome dragon
By luring him to stick snout into a wagon
Loaded with blasting mix and many'n'old horseshoe
That thru dragonhide did savagely chew
When the mix I cunning blew
Well, perhaps ’twas “heroic” only by extension— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 29, 2019
Oh goodness, did this happen in The Realms at one point? I have to know. Yes, Torm did it to a VERY young and naive red dragon that was terrorizing a port town (tearing off roofs to get at folk inside), having already denuded the inland farms of all their livestock.
Rathan helped, too. By driving the wagon and drinking most of the ale.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 29, 2019
I forgot there was a character known as Torm the Rogue for a second. I’m sure rumors and bard’s tales of his achievements had a number of people confused. Oh, yes. Many, many mortals in the Realms are named after the gods. TSR actively chopped mentions of them from published Realmslore to dispel confusion. There's also a demon AND a devil both named "Astaroth." Can be nasty if your summoning ritual isn't JUST right.#Realmslore
