Character Stories

Dragonslayers:

• Branwyn::
  • A merchant’s daughter, ran away to escape a forced marriage. She dropped her last name and as far as she knows no one knows it outside of Roppenmere.
  • Strong loyalty to both the Dragonslayers and to the Mosskins.
  • Due to a contagion spell cast on her by Red Cloak, pilgrims of the Suomi Kiputytto faith have looked upon Branwyn as a revered person.
  • She is known to be a friend to the gypsies. Mentioning her may help get a warmer reception.
  • She died of the Grey Death and Indigo her brought back. As repayment, she built the Church of the Defending Mage. It is her wish not to be brought back again.
  • Branwyn & dragons: knows they are evil, but also knows they are intelligent and magical so she respects them and is conflicted about hurting them except for defense.
  • Cast a spell to make Count Drake a vampire at the request of Willimina
  • Tiberius Branadarus’ mother is a vampire and she threatened to kill both of them if Branwyn didn’t take her son to the Mist and never return. Her plan was to kill her other children, marry again and reboot her rule. Reports were that her daughter killed the prospective new husband, stalling the assassination of the children. Everyone knows this except for Tiberius. Branwyn has not found the courage to explain this yet.

    • runs the Tieran Guild, a guild of scouts.
  • Common Knowledge:
    • Is a Prince, from Blackwater;
    • Often does impulsive and stupid things in the heat of the moment;
    • Was killed by poison from a strike by a wyvern;
    • Is apparently fated to be worthy of a 'Heroes Death';
      • By voluntarily retiring from the adventuring life, he has hopefully set aside this fate, which usually involves very painful deaths for him and, quite often, his family.

    • doesn't speak fondly of his family;
    • was once dragged into a crypt by a ghoul and only barely rescued by the group;
      • (those who were with the group in Skull Church would definitely know this;
    • The group found a book detailing the death of the entire Sauscha line. He dispatched one of his Guild members native to Blackwater to determine the situation. There is the possibility of a one-shot adventure arc to Blackwater, possibly while the main group is time-stuck while planar traveling.
  • Rare Knowledge:

• Hugh D'Ambray?::
  • Doesn't like to be touched?

  • Wields Tebhoundren (Teb), an intelligent talking sword, previously wielded by his father, Vornadrin. Gifted to Kel when Vornadrin retired from Shadow Guardian life
  • Secret (or not-so-much) crush on Shi'Nynze Zaurahel, childhood friend, sister to Kel's best friend, Ellidor
  • Responsible (or feels like he is) for Ellidor's death. This is common knowledge
  • Swore to recover Ellidor's bow, and set out with Shi to find it
  • Joined the Dragonslayers while searching for Ellidor's bow, which was sold to bugbears by the orcs who killed Ellidor
  • Since the bow was recovered, Shi wants to keep exploring the world, while Kel insists they return to Divaekah. However, his overwhelming guilt for Ellidor's death will not let him leave Shi
  • Secret to everyone: The circumstances leading to Ellidor's death places fault directly on Kel. He wrestles with the guilt of telling Shi the truth, for her own closure, but knowing it will absolutely destroy his friendship (and possible future) with her. So, for now, he skirts the topic when it's brought up.

• Shi'Nynze Zaurahel::
  • Obvious:
  • Was close to her brother Ellidor who was murdered by orcs; has his bow in her possession.
  • Very naive, very shy, very suspicious of strangers, and very curious.
  • Wants to befriend all the animals, including spiders.
  • Does not take kindly to threats, verbal or physical, to her animal friends (currently 3 wolves and 1 bird).
  • Common Knowledge:
  • Close to the rest of her family, but some tension with her mother.
  • Idolizes her grandmother Ruavain and wants to follow her adventurous footsteps.
  • Has never step foot outside the Wildlands before (except of visits to Bindbole Woods).
  • Was given a Wand of Wonder by her grandmother she cannot use; currently in possession of Branwyn to use in her steed. (known to those at Dryads Lair).
  • Uncommon Knowledge:
  • Loves to sing songs from home, but rarely does due to shyness (known to those who met Tore).
  • Observational Knowledge:
  • Took up priesthood because she couldn't be a Shadow Guardian and is not as devoted as others.
  • Often warring feelings of curiosity and fear being so far from home and facing the unknown (tries to hide the latter)
  • While she knows she can be very naive, some of it is actually a defensive act.
  • Possible relationship with elf at home named Nieven.
  • Unknown Knowledge:
  • Is aware Kel has a crush on her, but sometimes pretends (and sometimes not) to not understand his advances, partially for fear and hesitation that a relationship might forever alter (and believes will end in the loss of) their friendship, and partially because his history makes her believe it isn't sincere.

• Kenna Westfoot::

• Hoffman::
  • Does not remember anything from his life before 4.5 years before being with DragonSlayers
  • Adopted Mother Mona Mage put him on his path of being on the road helping people
  • Belief has changed from undisciplined, to relaxed to redefined by QuiFon and Miranda
    • Has started to follow Miranda's teaching of Norse and specifically Heimdall so he can be with Miranda

Associates:

• Indigo::
  • On his first voyage as a sailor, he was captured by bugbear pirates and sold to Red Cloak
  • Red Cloak immediately took him to the Jistille Estates lands and sold him to some goblins building a cave lair in the forest
  • Toybin made Red Cloak take an oath not to harm Indigo. (discussed in history talk I believe)
  • Red Cloak kept that oath when he had the chance to kill Indigo in his sleep but did not. As much as Indigo hates Red Cloak for all that he has done, Indigo recognizes that Red spared both him and the group traveling to the Cowles’ lost temple. This causes internal conflict for Indigo when he thinks about it. (not sure if this was talked about)
  • Penelope is Indigo’s first lover and girlfriend.
  • Bewick and her sisters Sewick and Awick(?) are swanmays. Bewick visits Indigo occasionally at night in the swamps with local information. Bewick flirts with him and Indigo has been infatuated with the beautiful night visitor. (All PCs from beginning to Wilamina’s coronation arc should know)
  • Indigo is proficient at repairing ships and sailing boats and small vessels, but the Admiral of the Drillian Navy is not proficient at sailing ships. (not sure if the newer PCs in the group have noticed this)

• Howard Plum::
  • Was originally given the nickname Useless by Branwyn and Midguard. Branwyn gave him his name back, but this name that he has heard long before meeting Branwyn still sticks with him a bit.
  • Howard was killed by an Ankheg in the Blumm Woods. Branwyn teleported him to Jennevive at Ashcroft Manor who brought him back from the dead. Another motivation for him to try to prove his worth.

• Shurkural::

• Countess Marisu Doeskin::
  • is only 16 17/18 years old; (She aged up during Dryads Lair)

    • her mother was captured, refused the werewolf test, and was executed;
    • he did not know the fate of the father or sister;
  • according to Anastacia Mosskin:
    • she executed the mother herself;
    • her father is responsible for the werewolves, releasing a pair of them at the Princess and instead being bitten himself, and has since converted at least a dozen others;
      • her father was supposedly killed by Anastacia, no mention of him being bitten or converting others
      • also note that as a turned were, he would be incapable of making any other weres.
      • the original Doeskin weres were killed
      • so when were these Doeskin guards supposedly turned into werewolves, and by whom?
    • several Eustace retainers have become werewolves to help fight against the Doeskin pack;
      • first version: the Eustace retainers volunteered to become weres.
      • second version: the Eustace retainers were wounded and were involuntarily turned, and all weres were then sworn to the Queen's service by Anastacia.

  • Intelligent sword currently wielded by Kel, prevously wielded by Kel's father
  • The sword was forged over 550 years ago from rare metals of the Central Mountains, and possesses the soul of Frynvenyrr Kilviir, former Shadow Guard Captain
  • Fryn was gravely wounded in battle during the war to stop King Farthorn I from crossing into The Wildlands. His dying wish was to ensure Farthorn I would not succeed, so Fryn forewent his opportunity for immortality in Arvanaith to be bound to the sword
  • Teb was carried back into batle by Riadorl, the new Shadow Guardian Captain. Riadorl fell while preventing Farthorn I from overtaking The Wildlands, and Teb was lost. He ended up spending almost 400 years leaning on a giant oak tree in the dank battleground reliving his memories. He was eventually found by a treant, and returned to Divaekah
  • Fryn, bound in Teb, found out he had missed his window to enter Arvanaith, and asked to instead to spend eternity being carried into battle. He was issued to Vornadrin, Kel's father, who then gifted Teb to Kel when he retired.
  • Teb is a master battle technician, and makes sure everyone within earshot knows of his feats. He loves to tell stories of past victories, and to interject his knowledge for future planning
  • Not known to any characters: Teb also has a sensitive, caring side, and counsels Kel on matters of a personal nature

• Brer Necholas::
  • Obvious:
    • Travels as incognito as he can, with his face almost always covered. Most of what can be seen is his mouth and beard, which is brown with gray streaks.
    • He wears heavy armor, is well armed, and rides a nice horse, and often has at least one war dog accompanying him.

    • He is a member of the Order of the Brotherhood, an order devoted to the destruction of the undead, especially the vampire lords that infest the Small Kingdoms.
    • He has an eyepatch covering his left eye.
  • Uncommon Knowledge:
    • His face is criss-crossed with dozens upon dozens of thin white scars, he hides his face because if he didn't this scarring would make him instantly identifiable.
    • He lifts his eyepatch to use his Detect Evil ability, it works for him as being able to see the auras around people.
    • There have been some hints that he is older than he appears. He doesn't deny it, but doesn't volunteer information about it.
    • He has used other names in the past.
  • Rare Knowledge:

• Craigh::
  • Obvious:
    • When he was a human, he was very thin, missing an arm, and as a result didn't stand up quite straight.
    • Very pale skin, red hair
    • After his death, he was reincarnated as a Mongrelman, which gives him:
      • mottled green and brown skin, alternately lightly scaled and somewhat rocky

      • he has long, droopy bugbear ears
      • his left arm is a merman's arm, complete with fin
      • his right foot is halfling sized, giving him a pronounced limp. Although he's not in pain, it does still throw his stride off, so he uses a walking stick to compensate.

    • Afterward he wound up in the Thieves' Guild to survive, and rose reasonably high in their ranks.
    • He came to Dragonfen to volunteer to work with Branwyn and maintain her library.
    • After his reincarnation, he has come back with his full magical capability, at the expense of his thieves' skills. He doesn't regret this trade at all, although his thought patterns quite often still run towards the sneaky. He has yet to fully express his full magical ability in the field.
  • Uncommon Knowledge:
