Other NPCs
Adria Ciel
- A 34 year old noble in charge of the city's growth and development. She
is a suspicious, ponderous woman with many enemies due to her ruthless
efficiency. Her husband died a few years ago under some rather shady
circumstances, leading some to believe she poisoned him. Thus she has
earned the nickname, "the Black Widow." She has porcelain white
skin, raven black hair, and icy blue eyes. She was one of the nobles to
die at the hands of the Drow in the invasion.
Angry Dragon
- An Orc warrior who volunteered to assist Daufer on the Qavay quest. He
was wounded twice, so eventually sent to the temple's entrance to recover.
He was easy to distinguish due to his mohawk. He later became one of
Bronze Skull's top bodyguards.
Airlen Monet
- The 46 year old noble in charge of the merchant's guilds. He's also the
husband of Arael Monet. He is a rather dull man with slicked back brown
hair, a mustache, green eyes, and a slight bulge in his belly. He was
killed by his wife, who was in reality a tiefling named Lilah. However,
the Viscount led people to believe the Vermin Plague were the ones behind it.
Amber Wasp
- The shaman of the Karik Orcs has long, silver hair and has
black eyes. He wears studded leather and carries a wicked flail. He
can wield divine power from the tribe's goddess, Black Sun. He often butts
heads with River Bear. After Daufer's death, he became the tribe's top
shaman again.
Arael Monet/Lilah - The 32 year old wife of Airlen Monet, the nobleman who owns
the Merchant Guild. Arael is a friendly, if not prying, woman who often
finds her own life rather dull and so often spends time with adventurers.
She is friends with Jasmin. Arael is quite pretty, with wavy brown hair
and brown eyes. It was later learned that Arael was only a mask worn by
Bloody Maw member, Lilah. Lilah is a green-skinned tiefling with three
fingers on each hand, completely black eyes, and a black horn protruding from
her head. She was appointed the task of spying on the Shadow Bats and
attempting to break them up as a group. She was defeated by the party,
however, and was dragged into a shadowy portal by a shadow
fiend. She later resurfaced to help the party, as she had betrayed the
Maw. She became a personal servant of Jasmin after the Drow Invasion,
serving as a spy, interrogator, and adviser.
Baska - A 23 year old hobgoblin slave of the Karik Orcs. She
belonged to River Bear, who was using her to produce a male heir. She
failed in this, and so was passed on to Amber Wasp instead. She may have
once been pretty, but now she's filthy and malnourished and often sports
bruises. She has yellow eyes and long, unkempt black hair. She had a
daughter with River Bear. When the Temple of D'lokka was back up and in
order, Baska managed to get financial assistance from the church (which sought
to aid all of those who had been left broke or crippled during the Insurrection)
and dedicated her life to raising her daughter.
Bronze Skull - The Orcish sub-chief is completely bald and wears old splint
mail. He carries a battle axe. Inspired by Daufer's sacrifice, he
later broke away from the Karik Tribe and formed his own tribe, with he as
chief, which still follows the teachings of D'lokka and Dukosh to this day.
Brun - Brun is an aging
goblin of 30 summers. He works the farms of Voxis to pay off his debts to
the Viscount, but he has been there nearly his entire life so far. He has
red eyes and short black hair, and wears a straw hat to help protect his eyes
from the harsh sun. He hired the party to take care of Cinder, the fire
imp that was burning his crops. Brun managed to escape to the Temple of
Renos and hide out during the invasion.
Cinder - Cinder was a fire imp that had been terrorizing the local
farmers by burning their crops and other such pranks. He claimed he had
been summoned to the Prime Material Plane by a priest of Renos who wasn't strong
enough to bind him. After Cinder escaped, he made his way to the farmlands
to cause trouble. The party was hired by Brun to dispatch him, and he was
banished back to his home plane of Zenan.
Dejo - Dejo is a 30 year old hobgoblin warrior who was trained by Garek
himself. She is civilized and honorable, but very obsessed with protecting
the Viscount. She is his personal bodyguard. She has short-cropped
black hair and yellow eyes. The party, after being hired to assassinate
the Viscount, decided to double-cross their employer the Nightmaster and
reported to Dejo what was going on. Dejo fought to the death to defend the
Viscount.
Dia - Dia is a 52 year old priestess of Renos. She has
short cropped white hair and hazel eyes. Her skin is a bit leathery, worn
with age. She had two children, who were both sent off to war when they
grew up. She is currently missing.
Dermer - An 85 year old Duergar from Kaltarp. He is the brother of
Dommer. He's bald with a silky brown beard and hazel eyes. He tends
to be nicer and gentler than his brother. He hired the party to find
evidence that he and Dommer were innocent of causing the vermin attacks in the
mines. Dermer and his brother, Dommer, sought refuse inside the Temple of
Renos during the Drow Invasion.
Dommer - An 80 year old Duergar from Kaltarp. He's bald with a puffy
brown beard and brown eyes. He seems suspicious and antagonistic, and
tends to pick fights with others. He was rescued by the party after being
falsely accused of being behind the strange vermin attacks in the mines.
Elle - Elle was an attractive woman that appeared to be in her late
twenties. She had short-cropped platinum hair and brown eyes. She
often wore black and grey clothes, including leather boots. She had some
sort of magical prowess, as well. It was later discovered she was a
vampire and a member of the Bloody Maw (specifically, Number Four). She
was slain by the party after she used Siara to lure them all into a trap.
Flaco - Flaco, the owner of
the Mirthful Miner Tavern, is an aging man of 50 winters. He is well-fed
and often smells like mushrooms. Flaco has brown eyes and receding grey
hair. He's friendly and outgoing and has a tendency to hit on his younger
waitresses. His wife passed on a year ago, and they had no children.
He has a nephew who went off to the war. Flaco died trying to put out the
fires in the Mirthful Miner Tavern during the Drow Invasion.
Garek - An older hobgoblin at 47 years old, he is a retired warrior and
soldier who was hired by Lord Sardis to coordinate this year's Wrath Day
Tournament. He has one eye (the other is scarred shut), black hair, and
often carries an ornate broad sword. It was learned he was an original
member of the Tainted Hands. Garek, now the sole survivor of the original
Tainted Hands, killed at least 10 Drow during the Invasion. He is now
captain of the guard, led by the D'lokka church once again.

had
become well known for his combat strength and strategy in recent years. He
was a very muscular
hobgoblin covered with battle scars. He fought with black armor and a
halberd. He
was sponsored by Garek to enter the Wrath Day Tournament of 666 and won his
first two battles against Jasmin (who he spared) and Eskar (who he did
not). His third match was against Cardel, the previous champion, but he
lost. Cardel took his head.
Griselda - Griselda is a 47 year old dancer at the Mirthful Miner
Tavern. She has very long blonde hair that drops down to her ankles and
bright blue eyes. Because she is aging, she's lost a great deal of
popularity to Jasmin Labree, AKA the Midnight Flower. However, Griselda
still believes that she still "has it" and will one day attract a
wealthy husband to take care of her. Despite her age, she's still rather
attractive. She hired the party to retrieve a magic potion for
her form the Karik Orcs after they stole it from the caravan that was
transporting it to her. The party retrieved the potion (a Potion of
Longevity) which made Griselda look like she's 36 years old. Griselda
managed to find refuge in the Temple of Renos during the Invasion.
Grunk - Grunk is a half-ogre bouncer at the Mirthful Miner Tavern.
He is 30 years old and over seven feet tall with brown eyes and black
hair. He has huge muscles, one eye is slightly larger than the other, and

completely mute and never speaks. He aided the party a bit during the Drow
Invasion, but decided to remain in the Temple of Renos to protect the people
there.

coppery red, messy hair. He is capricious but level-headed. He often
wears brown clothes and boots and a dark green apron. He was charmed by
Elle and used by him to gather information on those who passed through Nikola.
Nightmaster - The title of the high priest of Shadowbite in the city of
Voxis; his true name and age are unknown. It's believed he's quite old,
though (for a goblin) as his voice is raspy and his hands (the only part of him
not obscured by black robes) are gnarled and wrinkled. He is the most
powerful priest in the city and wields a great deal of political power, even
though he is not a noble. He hired the party to assassinate the Viscount
in exchange for bringing Eskar back to life. The party, however, instead
chose to betray him and stormed his temple. The Nightmaster was the only
cleric to survive that night. He shadow walked, taking Eskar with
him. He later imbued the dwarf with his own dark power, but later revoked
it when the dwarf proved unsatisfactory. It was learned his real name is
Zikar, and he was one of the original members of the Tainted Hands. He
died fighting against Teheth-Obz.
Proud Wolf - An Orc warrior who volunteered to assist Daufer on the Qavay
quest. He helped himself to a helmet from a defeated skeleton. Proud
Wolf was one of those who joined Bronze Skull's new tribe.

muscular. He has red eyes, black hair, and white war paint on his
face. His body is covered in tattoos. He wears rusty chain mail and

control of his tribe again.
Romain Labree - Romain is a 40 year old miner and the father of Jasmin
Labree. He has brown hair, a wispy beard, and brown eyes. He's
fairly muscular, except for his protruding beer gut. Romain is pessimistic
and a terrible wastrel. He spends most of his free time either getting
drunk or gambling away what little coin he has earned from the mines. Recently, he was shaved completely hairless.
He was slain during the Drow Invasion, too drunk to fight back.
Ryak - (Level 1 Priest of Shadowbite) A young goblin, 18 years old, who had only
recently joined the clergy. He was rather carefree and a bit of a
prankster, not taking much seriously (including himself). He was killed
defending the Temple of Shadowbite from the Shadow Bats. He was burned to
a crisp by Jasmin's fire breath and then finished off by Siara.
Sardis - A noble in charge of the city's entertainment and tourism.
He is a charming man and quite handsome, with black hair and green eyes.
He also has a small but well-trimmed beard and mustache. Sardis is known
as a bit of a recluse, rarely leaving his mansion at all, but rather relying
heavily on servants to deal with the outside world. Sardis vanished during
the Drow Invasion. Whether he fled, was killed, or taken prisoner is
unknown.
Scarred Spider - An Orc warrior who volunteered to assist Daufer on the
Qavay quest. He was easy to distinguish due to his scar. He joined
Bronze Skull's new tribe.

to guard the mule. He also joined Bronze Skull's new tribe.
Sonak - (Level 5 Thief) Sonak is a 25 year old goblin assassin who participated in the
Wrath Day Tournament of 666. He is 'shadow-kissed', a rare condition among
goblins that grants them black skin, the ability to conjure globes of darkness,
and the ability to see in pure darkness without penalty. Sonak faced Eskar
in the tournament, and used his darkness ability to his advantage when Eskar
went invisible. Despite this, he still was defeated--although Eskar spared
his life. It was later learned that he is a member of the Vermin Plague.
He was killed in the storming of the Shadowbite Temple. Aidan paralyzed
him with a spell, and Eskar ran him through when the battle ended. Sonak
was helpless to stop him.
Stanley - Stanley is a 15 year old miner. He's an orphan, so works
the mines in order to support himself. He has brown eyes and black hair
that was recently shaved off. Stanley was rescued by the party after being
knocked unconscious. He was homeless, but now works for Jasmin and Gaheris
as a manservant. Stanley remained Gaheris' servant, having taken refuge in
the Temple of Renos during the Invasion.

Kricket; she was also Liam's mother. She died in the wadi fighting a fire
lizard. Shortly after this incident, the original Tainted Hands broke up.

yellow eyes. He was a member of the anarchist group, Vermin Plague.

was in exchange for his life. He was later killed by Eskar after being
captured again, this time by Aidan.
Togg - A large half-ogre, standing over seven feet in height, Togg is the
miner foreman of Voxis. He has brown eyes, a sloping brow, a large jaw,
and blond hair; although he keeps his head shaved. He's fairly optimistic
about life and usually tries to keep the morale of his men up when he can.
However, he is often seen as 'too nice' and lets the miners get away with too
much. He is unmarried but often flirts with attractive women and has an
addiction to lotus weed. Togg took refuge in the Temple of Renos during
the Drow Invasion.
Tyler Peur - A 40 year old noble in charge of the city's taxes and
revenues. He is a nervous, stuttering fellow who often glances over his
shoulders for would-be assassins and enemies. He owns the second largest
mansion in the city. He never married, being as afraid of women as
anything else. He has short blond hair and beady brown eyes. When
frightened, he has been known to shriek like a girl and faint. He once
hired both the Shadow Bats and Tainted Hands to rid his home of ghosts, but it
later turned out to be gremlins. Tyler was killed during the Drow
Invasion, screaming the whole time.
Vandoorm - (Level 5 Priest of Renos) Vandoorm is the caretaker of the local shrine of Renos, which
also doubles as the town's smelter. He's in his mid 30s with blue eyes and
black hair. He also sports a braided goatee. He conjured a grue
using a powerful scroll he received from a stranger in black. It had been
his hopes to use the grue to 'cleanse' the slums of all heretics. The
party destroyed the grue and slew Vandoorm. It was also revealed that he
was responsible for conjuring Cinder.
Videl Labree - Videl is a 25 year old former soldier who is missing his
left arm. He has brown hair and eyes. He is cynical and moody,
having lost his faith and his livelihood after his arm was ripped off by an
umberhulk in the wars. He wears tattered grey clothes and a thick
cloak. He swears often. Videl later married Ruby and had three kids
with her. He never restored his arm, but lived a happy, rich life
nonetheless.
Viscount - The leader of the city of Voxis, the Viscount is an average-looking
young man of 25 years. He has green eyes and long, black hair that often
covers his eyes. He's naive, dreamy, and rather lazy. He originally
was the son of a poor miner, but was sent off to war. When he returned, he
challenged the previous Viscount to a duel and won. During the Drow
Invasion, he was killed by the Shadow Dragon.
Vonali - A beautiful Drow with long white hair and menacing red
eyes. She is 89 and stands only at 4'11" while weighing in at a mere
87 pounds. She is from the House of Rat. The Drow sent her as a
representative to find out why the people of Voxis were late in their iron ore
shipment. She created a 'treaty' with Voxis after the Drow Invasion,
making the party its new nobles.
