Session Stuff

Ok, wed. session was pretty spectacular, and my post did little more than recap some of the main events. Below I'm going to give some more detailed info into the session from Kharasks point of view.

Erantaelik- The drow had several shining moments in the session. One, he was able to act as a sub leader while Kharask was dealing with the chaos surrounding Lamidon's (woot) demise. Kharask trusted him with the prisoner without question, hoping that the drow would act in a proper manner while he was gone. The drow handled himself well, and got some useful information from the mage as well. In combat, the drow handled each battle with an often used, but well played tactic. By utilizing his gifts over darkness, the drow contains a small amount of enemies while the rest of the troupe uses the diversion to take down a few of the enemies numbers quickly. This tactic is excellent, and even enemies that expect it, or are seemingly prepared for it tend to get caught up in the confusion of it. The troupe handles the darkness well now, at first, it was just as distracting to the Two Scars as it was to the enemy, now, the troupe knows what to expect, and how to handle themselves when the distraction goes up.

Merric - The halfling had it rough over the course of the adventure. Trying to befriend the tradesman and his daughter only made it that much harder when Baerd murdered Lamidon, and Zepora swore revenge on them. Knowing the halflings past, it must have been hard to see the young lady suffering as her father was taken from this world, and Kharask hopes merric wont hold a grudge too heavily on the dwarf. However, it seems the dwarf and the halfling have a bit of a comraderie going, and hopefully things work out. Merric also found out the general location of his parents, and that its likely they are either slaves, or dead, having been eaten by the Blue Scales. He learned the face of his enemy, and it turns out, its the same enemy that Kharask seems to be after. Kharask is going to make it a priority to get merric's parents back, or at least find out there fate, and he holds he can keep merric patient while they find a non suicidal way to get things done. One failing of his company is there impatience, and Kharask himself will have to check this fault within him, while holding it back in the others, especially merric. In combat, merric always pulls his weight. He utilizes the natural chaos of battle to deliver unsespecting blows to his enemies. Always understimated, its easy for the small humanoid to get away with downing one enemy after another before the oposition realizes just how much of a threat he really is.

Dalanor - The wizard is handling himself quite well. Kharask was also pleased when he was the first to claim responsability for Lamidons death, after explaining that he knew of the curse. Kharask still admonishes his troupe for letting such a thing happen, but he also realizes that in this instance, the murder seemed almost fated to take place. The silver elf also found out that he was wanted by the same people that wanted Kharask, but for different reasons, it sesms something is locked away deep in Dalanor's mind or past that he cant fully grasp, and that the followers of tiamat seem desperate to get ahold of. Dalanor seemed lest nervous of the situation, and almost more at ease when he heard of the news, and Kharask believes that a sign or direction is exactly what the silver elf was waiting for. In combat the silver elf excelled as he always does, using illusions and elemental blasts to keep the enemy seperated, or to keep them from moving tactically. He's been working in combat much better as the days go by, and Kharask feels its only a matter of time before the Two Scars will be relying heavily on his ability to move the battle as he sees it.

Baerd - The dwarf. Many in the company probably wonder just why it is that Kharask did not chastise him, or become angrier with him at the slaughter of Lamidon. How could he. Kharask has done far worse than the dwarf, and he understood quickly that the dwarf was overcome with a curse. To Kharask a curse is like a stain, theres no reason to remove the weapong from baerd, for the curse would remain, both on baerd, and on the axe. No, the dwarf is a tragic figure to Kharask, but one he feels can be redeemed. In combat he is a monster, a terror to his enemies, he attacks quickly and ferociously never giving his enemies enough time to form a good counter attack. His combat effectiveness does not overshadow his social innefectiveness, but its still a good reason to keep the dwarf around, if nothing else just to keep a watchful eye on him.

Azriel - Azriel remains a constant. He does what is needed of him, lends a hand in any social event and is quick to act when combat arises. He has been trustworthy and helpful to Kharask, and is an excellent scout and trailblazer for the troupe. In combat he strikes quickly and makes his enemies have to work for a counterattack. The elf darts across the battlefield, weakening and killing his enemies with his dancing blades. Kharask still does not have a full grasp on the elf, but believes in time he will open up and reveal more of himself.

Lamidon - Kharask truelly regrets the death of the tradessman. He offered them good company and a full stomach during a previous trek, and seemed an amiable sort of fellow. Even had he known the man to be attached to the thieves guild, he would have still honored him as a friend. It was unfortunate that he turned on the group, leading them into an ambush, and it was ultimately his undoing. Kharask fully realizes that he did this bit of deception against his will, knowing that he and his daughter would be killed if he did not accomplish his task. He'll always remember the terror in the mans eyes as he fled from the wagon. This wasnt a warrior, this was a father and his daughter, doing what they could to survive. The weight is heavy on Kharask, but he means to honor the tradesman, and make sure his daughter is taken care of. That he believes, is waht Lamidon wanted all along.

Ok, thats that. i'll have more soon i bet!
