Session 46: Take Two

Agreeing that it was too cloudy to venture to the caves during the night, the group returned to their beds and prepared to leave at dawn.

Angradin "Sonnlinor" Hammerforged

Dwarven male cleric of Moradin

Me? I look like a dwarf! I sound like a dwarf! I drink like a dwarf! I hit like a dwarf!

Maybe I'm friendlier than most, not that you can blame my brothers after all they have been through. Just like my father, and my father's sons, I follow the path of Moradin, the Soul Forger and father of the dwarven race. Moradin teaches that wisdom is derived from life and tempered with experience. I seek to honor him by emulating his principles and workmanship in smithing, stoneworking, and other tasks. It is my duty to advance the dwarven race in all areas of life by innovating with new processes and skills, founding new kingdoms and clan lands, defending the existing ones from all threats, and lead the dwarves in the traditions laid down by the Soul Forger.

Dead PC: Third, Warrior Maid of Madarua

Human female outlander fighter

“Third" only arrived at the Keep a few weeks ago, having traveled from far away. She does not speak common, so most assume she is mute if not a little simple-minded. The inn has provided her with room and board since she broke up a fight in the tavern on the night of her arrival; she has been acting as an unofficial bouncer ever since, preventing caravan guards or belligerent drunks from harassing either the locals or outsiders who can’t defend themselves. “Third" was the name she was dubbed by the folks at the keep since trying, via sign language, to convey her identity. Third is brave and capable, knowing when to withdraw from a losing situation but staunchly standing by her allies in a fight. In battle, she yells her battle cry (“Madarua!”).

PC: Jess Ferec

Human female rogue

Jess was born at Kendall Keep and has lived here all her life. Her father and mother became adventurers and were lost in the Caves of Chaos during the early days of the Keep. Her grandparents, Greeves and Peta, two aged domestic servants, see after The Guild house and its guests. Greeves the butler and Peta the housekeeper took care of the late Lord Macsen since the latter’s childhood; the only reason they did not accompany him on his last campaign was their advancing age.

She works for Wilf and Calista at The One-Eyed Cat tavern as barmaid/serving girl. ("Not a wench!") She waits on customers and generally helps out about the place, doing whatever chores are necessary to keep things running, while plying her true trade via surreptitious pick-pocketing of boastful or overly endowed merchants and adventurers. She's smart and careful and so far has not been caught — except by Mouse, who promptly gave her a few pointers. She gained some combat skills from her time spent in the local militia.

Session 45: A Risky Escape & A Suspicious Discovery

Prynhawn, Philip, and Vernim had ran to the woods to engage the archers, leaving the rest of the group with the fallen Aseneth.

Session 44: Forgiveness & Revenge

With the immediate threat eliminated, the group debated whether they should seek shelter in the caves until daylight or rush Opal back to the Keep through the darkness.
