Two Scars -Main Group-

I'll save my gaming post for after we finish the current adventure, which will take at least one more session. I'll dedicate this post to the various members of the main group and how they have progressed up to this point. As always, this post is from Kharask's perspective.


Merric - Merric has been progressing in the troupe fairly well. He can be depended on when the Two Scars is needed for a larger contract, or when pursuing the Cult of Tiamat, but the small halfling does little to better himself or the company when in Caran Has. Kharask has noted that he disapears for days at a time, can be seen at odd, and questionable locations, and usually only returns to the Headquarters or an Inn when needed to sleep. On a positive note, Merric is becoming stronger, faster, and more intelligent when initiating combat. His guile and tactics seem to be improving as he spends more time among the group and he works extremely well when paired up with Baerd and Erantaelik on the front lines. Kharask has noted that he has developed more martial prowess as well, and can pull off some impressive feats of skill when pressed. Kharask has also noted some weaknesses in his small companion. Merric does not see the greater picture in most of his endeavors. Even when rescuing his father from the slave camp merric failed to realize that the other slaves within the camp were just as desperate. When pressed about helping the female halflings who were to be sacrificed he became fussy and upset, as if the act were a waste of time, the same was to be said about rescuing hundreds of slaves from the slave pen. In the end, Merric must one day understand that saving a single individual over the whole is not an acceptable outcome, only by rescuing as many members of his village would he be reminded of home and his past. Now he has a true place to return too, a land he knows that means something, a culture he recognizes, and friendly faces to greet and comfort him. Even without his father and mother, that is just as important, if not more so. His small friend for now will have to learn on his own, his people see the world in a different light, and Kharask has many things that need his attention.

Dalanor - As always, Kharask respects his Silver Elf friend. The wizards information has been invaluable, and his magic has only become stronger over time. On many things the mage and kharask see eye to eye. They both spend a great amount of time within the city tending to both personal and communal business, and spend an equal amount of time searching out ways to empower there cause. Dalanor can be intelligent, straightforward, honest and resourceful. He has been giving and compassionate, especially of late, and has been seeing the overall objective of there cause more clearly. For all of his merits however there are also darker parts to his personality. Dalanor becomes frustrated easily, and although he sees the greater whole of things more clearly than Merric, he chooses to ignore it on some levels. Dalanor cares for his past, his family, and his power, but Kharask still is curious as to the order of his passions. He has expressed an ability to turn from the company should he be forced to protect his daughter. He has spoken to Kharask at times about aquiring more power for use in combat, about honing his skills to be better suited for the battles to come. Kharask has a feeling that he wishes to use some of this power for other objectives, those that might involve the elves homeland. Through it all however, Dalanor has been a very useful ally to the Two Scars, and his morale character seems to be improving, partially due to his memories returning, but also partly due to his membership in the company. Kharask hopes that one day the Silver Elf can shake himself of his darker thoughts, put the horrors of his past behind him, and turn all of his arcane might into securing the future, if that were too happen, Kharask truelly believes they would be unstoppable.

Erantaelik - The drow is worthy ally, and a fierce combatant. Kharask respects Erantaelik's dedication to the arcane arts, and his ability to wield it as a weapon against there foes in combat. When fulfilling contracts and advancing there assault on the followers of Tiamat the drow is an invaluable asset. His response to action is uncannily fast and deadly, his ability to hinder and group foes while holding an entire section of a battlefield is something to behold. His magic becomes stronger day by day, and Kharask sometimes wonder if the two mages of the group are equaled in strength, or if perhaps Erantaelik's sheer focus might someday overtake Dalanor's more ecclectic collection of magic. As a warrior, the drow is a worthwhile member of the troupe. Outside of combat Kharask has spent serious time contemplating the Drows motives. He spends little time with the troupe, is seldom seen wandering the cities and towns they visit, and seems to brood over some slight or past memory. Kharask has noted more often than not that the drow responds to strangers with the same disdain and distance that he uses when speaking with the troupe. It is true he is straightforward with answers, but the drow has twisted words in the past, and Kharask does not fully trust the shadow elf in all matters. There is also a memory that gnaws on the dragonborns mind from time to time. In vadrier's shop, while the troupe lay down to rest, Baerd once spoke outloud about the drow as a race worship some great demon, he also remembered the incredible silence that followed. He wonders where Erantaelik's true loyalties lie, and if the drow is only tagging along with the group to better his own cause one day. Kharask hopes this is not the case. Though most drow are traitorous and worth killing, Kharask would not welcome the day when he would have to turn his great hammer against one he considered an ally. Only time will tell, and as the Two Scars gets closer to an ever growing destiny, the members of the company will be guided by the greatest of lights, or the deepest of darkness.

(ok, thats the main party, i'll do the npc's on a later post!)
