Personality: Highly intelligent and personable, Verosh is often to be found in philosphical discussion. By contrast, his emotions often get the better of him; more than once this has led to him getting out of his depth. He handles himself well in a fight, using his superior intellect to divert his opponent's attention.

Background: Verosh came to Ptolus 6 years ago, and now thoroughly enjoys the bustle and variety of city life. His father was a great tribal leader, but his hot-headed son wasn't interested in following in his footsteps.

Appearance: A humanoid lion. Pretty much. Yup.

Corriban Sloan (Ranger 7), is a Viridian Lord known to live in a cabin a few miles away from Ptolus, although he often patrols far off lands taken by the barbarian tribes. He is a surprisingly strong man for his small frame, and is a marksman with his compound shortbow. Even with Ptolus reputation for stangeness, Corriban still makes others take notice of him with his slightly green-tinged, and nearly leafy skin. The mischevious Corriban met Verosh several years ago, and created a friendship through a common enjoyment of outdoor competitions such as rock climbing and hunting. Corriban usually has his ear to the natural occurences around Ptolus, but does have contacts within the city and introduced Verosh to Kaira Swanwing.

- Kaira Swansing, (Elf rogue 5/wizard 8) is the leader of the Knights of the Golden Cross, a small organization dedicated to the worship of the elder gods and the collecting of ancient knowledge. Kaira is ambitious and seeks to strengthen the dwindling order, with mixed results. She has silver hair and is quite the stunning woman for the strength of both her personality and natural beauty, along with her habit of wearing robes made from blue silk and satin. Verosh finds Kaira to be an important source of criminal activity in the city, especially those backed with demonic or supernatural power; something that has made her few friends. She and Verosh often trade stories: she of her order and their beliefs, while he speaks of his peoples' oral histories. This is something that interests Kaira, since she feels that in Verosh's stories are the shards of tales from the time of the elder gods.

- Yarek Nagel (aristocrat 4), the doddering old man of House Nagel, is known as senile, foolish, and somewhat of a buffoon. Verosh met him long ago in the Yarrow Street Forum, in Oldtown, a place where people like to get up on a soap box or philosophers give speeches. Verosh was listening to one slim philosopher speak about whether or not life was reality when he heard Yarek heckle the man from one corner of the crowd until he enraged the supposedly gentleman to the point of a confrontation. There were two hits, Yarek's cane hitting the angry man, and that man hitting the floor. Curious, Verosh followed the man and entered into a conversation with him. Now the two meet together every so often in Oldtown so that Verosh can talk of his present adventures, and Yarek can lie about the good old days.

"You wouldn't be looking at me that way if you knew what was behind you..."

Background
Mortimus Price was always the studious young boy, born to an aristocratic family in Tarsis with far too much time on its hands. Morty did not have an ordinary childhood; he spent nearly every day deep inside books, studying all topics from the arcane to the divine to the mysteries of the Outer Planes. He attended the prestigious University Arcanum, where he apprenticed under Extraplanar Studies professor Ulysses Weber. He got along well with his fellow students, but although he was known to many, few claimed to know much about him. Even immersed in the university, his true attention was elsewhere, delving into the secrets of the Ethereal Sea, the Heavens and the Hells.
After graduation, he set upon building on the work of his mentor, and decided to travel the world recording the myths and stories of all corners of the Empire and searching for connections between the Material Plane and the rest of the multiverse. Watching the Empire's descent with uncaring eyes, Mortimus always focused on the bigger picture. Upon his return after years on the road, he discovered his mentor deceased with a cryptic letter addressed to him. It read, "The keepers of secrets lie in the thin shadow"; at first Morty was baffled and put it aside. He set about publishing his work in a treatise on Interplanar Connectivity, and it earned him a membership invitation to the Delver's Guild. He was grouped with his current company of adventurers, which he has grown to view as a close-knit family (or at least as close as he's ever came to one).
When the group decided to relocate to Ptolus, it popped into his head: his old master's note became clear! The "keepers" he sought were in the great city, at the base of the Spire, "in the thin shadow". Now working in Ptolus, Morty spends his spare time researching and gathering information on the Inverted Pyramid, which he believes the note refers to. He has learned of their great mystery and exclusivity, and is determined to find out just why they were of such concern to his mentor. His primary contact is Megara, a seer and prostitute for the Fate Weavers whose relationship with Morty is... complicated. They currently maintain a professional rapport.
Within the Delver's Guild, Morty is known for his aloof demeanor and expertise in summoning dangerous creatures. Some are suspicious of his methods, but he is by-and-large viewed more as an oddity than a threat. Nonetheless, his teammates count him as a loyal ally and effective combatant.

He has few friends since all he likes to talk about is arcana. Luckily for him, Morty is of a similar personality and the two sometimes get into passionate discussions about their recent readings. He also have connections to the Fate Weavers through Megara, who has seemed more agitated as Yearsend Day approaches.[/sblock]

Deceased--He was lost to the warden's sword in an attempted prison break, but at least his death allowed others to escape.

Appearance/Personality: Percival de Cluney is a tall well built young man in his late 20’s. He has long brown hair and wears a thin mustache and merest hint of a goatee. He has dark eyes and fair skin. He normally wears a heavy adamantine breastplate and wears a large thin sword of Elven design. The hilt is made to look like a snail while the blade is etched with images of instruments down its length. Along the fuller and back of the blade are numerous small holes through the metal. He wears a longbow in a quiver on his back. He is an earnest intelligent fellow, but his head is easily turned by a pretty girl or a hopeless cause. From a young age Percival has had a strong desire to prove himself and a predisposition toward foolishly heroic acts. He tends to gravitate toward hopeless causes or at least to support the underdog. Percival has never been particularly religious but has attended services for the Church of Lothian. His quests have sometimes involved the Order of Dayra and the followers of St. Gustav. More recently, he has been visiting the Temple of Asche. His friendship with Mand Scheben.

History/Background: Percival (Percy to his family) was born into a prosperous merchant family of Tarsis. They make and sell women’s undergarments. Between the family business and the name Percy, young de Cluney received more than his fair share of teasing from other children. He retreated into books about great heroes. The family’s money saw him well educated. The business took the family on frequent buying trips among the elves. Young Percival found these trips to be the best part of his childhood. He was highly enamored with all things elven. He learned to cook in the elaborate style favored by elves and speak their language. As he matured he underwent the grueling entrance examinations to study the Elven Arts of war and magic at an academy for Duskblades. He managed to get in and do well. He found these arts suited his personality and desire to be a hero perfectly. He spent his early years looking for causes to join in the Elven lands. One such quest was the successful recovery of the legendary elven magic sword Banshee’s Wail, which he carries to this day. It had been lost in an incursion of humanoids a century before. He was able to wrest it from a particularly nasty Bugbear warrior. Eventually, he followed rumors of the prizes to be won by Delvers in Ptolus. He is currently in Ptolus, a city he has come to love, with his adventuring companions. When not Delving, he spends his time inviting young ladies over to cook for them and to read elven poetry.

Contacts:

- Percival comes from a wealthy family of woman's lingerie dealers, which is something he tries not to bring up in conversation, although he enjoys the connections he has from this background. One such connection is with House Erthuo through Cordelia Erthuo (fermale human aristocrat 4), who tries to pass advice to Percival's artisan family because of her personal experiences with their clothing line. House Erthuo is a family of scholars that generally stay out of politics while researching all things elven, since their bloodline is a mixed one. Cordelia is a good source of both Ptolus family politics and elven history, and enjoys Percival's presence when House Erthuo holds a galla.

- Mand Scheben, (Human cleric 11) is a follower of Asche and a high-ranking member of that god's temple. He sees Percival as a good man, and since the duskblade has come so often to him for healing they have formed a trusting bond and Percival can count on a 10% discount for any healing from Mand. Mand is a possible candidate for the next seat in the City Council, and is in his late 30s with a winning smile that has made him the most popular priest of Asche in the city. His charm is only bolstered by his sincerity.

Background
Kaeso Drionus grew up in a stable, loving home in the bustling city of Tarsis; a home governed by law, by honor, and by expectations. It may not have been a stretch to call his father a tyrant; every minute of every day had to be accounted for, time could not be wasted, one must always prepare for the future... Although young Kaeso did his best to live up to his father's demands, the elder Drionus could never quite be satisfied. Kaeso obeyed not out of fear of another caning, but to do his part along with his mother and siblings.

During his teenage years, the barbarian hordes drew ever closer to Tarsis; every month, it seemed another fort fell, another defending army was bloodied. Kaeso tried over and over to join his father, a member of the guard, in the defense of the city... HIS city... but was rebuffed by the gruff soldiers every time. He was simply too young to fight. When the Eastern Hordes finally crushed the last army in their path, the Drionus family along with thousands of others evacuated in a panic, feeling the fires of the siege on their backs as they ran. Kaeso would never see his father again, for better or for worse.

A year passed while the family re-established itself on the countryside to the west. Kaeso took his chance and enlisted in the first scattered unit of the empire's army that he could find. He would spend the next 10 years in the army, first scouring the nation for fresh recruits, then training, then fighting. The invading barbarians quickly left the city on their own, and Kaeso returned to the city. The remainder of his enlistment term would be spent guarding Tarsis, scattering petty uprisings of monsters and peasants. This left him plenty of time to fraternize with diplomats from other cities, and Ptolus in particular. Members of the Commissar's Men and the Keepers of the Veil occasionally came to Tarsis seeking aid in their crusades against crime and evil, and Kaeso always wanted to hear what stories they brought with them.

When Kaeso was released from service, he realized something incredibly disturbing; he had no idea what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. Ever since his birth, he was told what to do, how to behave, what to think. First from his father, then from his commander. Of course he'd heard the rumors of what was happening in the distant city of Ptolus lately; adventurers journeying into caverns beneath the city and returning with entire baggage trains of gold and jewels. It didn't take long for Kaeso to decide on becoming a mercenary himself. He could make his fortune, destroy any evil or undead threats to the security of the empire, maybe even find a bride! And of course, it sure as hell beat the idea of spending the next 10 years on guard duty.

Contacts
- Constable Ward Harnox, a human middle-ranking member of the City Watch who is currently headquartered in the Guildsman district watchtower. Ward normally has a dry and morbid sense of humor due to the things that he has seen in his time in service. However, even this part of his humor has dried up ever since he has been assigned to looking into the infrequent and violent "Silent Slayer" murders that are causing a panic in his district, and he has been drinking more often.

- Mark Khatru, a cousin of the current head of House Khatru and young officer in Khatru's private mercenary army. Kaeso sparred with Mark during a visit to the complex run by the Order of Iron Might and the two military men became friends. Mark is a tall and muscular human who seems gruff and direct at times, but has a keen tactical mind. Mark and Kaeso meet at Randle's Tavern, a bar a few streets south of the Citadel of Might, every Firesday that both are free for dinner and a game of kriegspiel. If one doesn't make the meeting, the other understands as both are busy men. [Note: kriegspiel is like a chess game where you can't see the opponent's pieces. I had to look it up on wikipedia. ]

Background
"Loud." That's the first thing that comes to mind when most people think about Glau Ironbelly. He speaks with an "outdoor voice", possess an easy, hearty laugh, and despite his average dwarven stature seems to fill a room. Compared to his typically dour kin, Glau is positively jovial. His enthusiasm for firearms, steamworks, and explosion in general only heighten this impression.

Glau has called Ptolus home for nearly a decade. As a clan historian, he thought it important to visit the techological center of the Empire to learn about some of the ancient lost arts. Unlike many of his brethren, who seek to master the crafting of known and understood technologies, Glau favors the experimental and the forgotten. He has delved deep beneath the city, searching for undiscovered caches of ancient technology. These efforts have occasionally put him at odds with some of the Stonelost dwarves in the city, who take a dim view of any delvers trying to enter and loot Dwarvenhearth.

When not adventuring, Glau can often be found entertaining a group of young delvers at a tavern. Storytelling is his greatest passion and talent, and many of his tales are even true. He is also a frequent visitor of the Smoke Shop, ever on the lookout for exciting new wares to sample. Glau's most prized possession is a massive hand cannon, Helga, crafted in the shape of a black dragon's maw, which he wears on a sling over his shoulder. Glau cleans and polishes the weapon religiously, and the dwarf with the glistening black gun is an easily recognized figure in Delver's Square - there are more than a few delvers who have been pulled out of a sticky situation by the boisterous dwarf belching smoke and fire.

Contacts
Savane (Wizard 6/Expert 3) is a friend that Glau has made while paying his respects to Tuen in the temple district. The Temple of Tuen is dedicated to the goddess of technology, and as such is covered with gears and other symbols. Many technologists enjoy congregating their in a strange mixture of quiet contemplation and mystic meditation, and there is a small group of dwarves that attend to the elderly high priestess. Savane likes to asks more questions than give answers, but Glau has found him to be a very solid source of information when new technologies are about to make a break-through. Glau has been given a small copper piece with barely discernable writing on its surface as a token by Savane. By showing this token, Glau has found that he receives a 5% discount to technological items from Shuul merchants and their allies.

Soren Clanstone (Stonelost dwarf, fighter 9) and Glau Ironbelly have become 'drinking cousins', as Soren likes to call it. The Stonelost and Grailwarden dwarves don't really understand one another until their in the bottom of a tankard ten times over, but somehow these gruff and opinionated dwarves have created a strange sense of kinship. Soren is treated with a certain level of respect by the other Stonelost dwarves, and Glau has the sense that the young fighter is somewhat important but hasn't gotten anyone to open up yet to as why. Soren does seem to know a bit about Dwarvenhearth, however, and sometimes Glau is able to pull a kernel of information from him. On the other hand, Soren is very open about some of the latest occurences among the more famed adventuring groups. When Glau cannot find Soren at his favorite tavern, the Black Swan in Midtown, he can be sure that Soren is off adventuring.

Bobbaros' contacts:

- Nord Steelgrim (dwarf expert 7) is the Minister of Public Works in Ptolus and is in charge of maintaining the upkeep of the older important structures such as bridges while also looking to develop new projects for Ptolus' development. He can be friendly, but the stress of the job sometimes causes him to be moody instead. Nord and Bobbaros have a solid working relationship, as he sometimes send his friend to check on the structural integrity of acqueducts and bridges when it is difficult for a man to reach those locations. Nord is a good source of information when it comes to the city's ministers and the allocation of funds.

- Tamora Rigan (femal human aristocrat 11) runs the Rogue Moon Trading Company over in South Market, and used to hire Bobbaros in his younger days as a courier and to test the company's security. Now the rogue has moved into a more dangerous, but better paying career as a professional adventurer although he still comes by and visits his old friend, Tamora, from time to time. The Rogue Moon Trading Company deals with the buying and selling of commodities, and is a good source of information when it comes to the trends in trade.

Abilities Granted

• Luna gets a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.
• Luna may make one Spot check and one Listen check each round as a free action.
• When Luna uses a projectile weapon, such as a bow, its range increment increases by one-half (multiply by 1-1/2). When she uses a thrown weapon, its range increment is doubled.
• Luna can shoot or throw ranged weapons at an opponent engaged in melee without taking the standard –4 penalty on her attack roll.

Racial Abilities

• Immunity to magic sleep effects, and a +4 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects.
• Low-Light Vision: Luna can see three times as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
• Weapon Proficiency: Elves receive the Martial Weapon Proficiency feats for the longsword, rapier, longbow (including composite longbow), and shortbow (including composite shortbow) as bonus feats.
• +2 racial bonus on Listen checks, +4 on Search, and Spot checks. When Luna merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if she were actively looking for it.

Class Features

• Trapfinding: Only rogues can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a DC higher than 20. Finding a nonmagical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. Luna can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. A magic trap generally has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. When Luna beats a trap’s DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with her party) without disarming it.
• Spell Reflection: (Complete Mage, pg. 35) Luna has the supernatural ability to reflect magical attacks back on their caster. If an enemy misses with a spell or spell-like ability aimed at Luna, she can use an immediate action to redirect the effect back at its originator. The spell or ability attacks the original caster (who makes a new attack roll using the same modifier as the original attack). If it hits, the caster is subject to the normal effect of the spell or ability. This effect only applies to spells and spell-like abilities that require an attack roll. Other spells and spell-like abilities that affect a target aren’t subject to this reflection. If a single spell or ability misses Luna more than once at the same time (such as scorching ray cast by a high level caster), she can redirect each portion of the spell that missed her. Luna can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1+ her Dexterity modifier (4/Day). This ability replaces evasion and requires that Luna have one rank in the knowledge (arcana) skill.
• Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Luna can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She retains her Dexterity bonus to AC even if she is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, she still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.
• Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Luna can no longer be flanked. This defense denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack Luna by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than Luna does.

Contacts

• Thuela Nasarini (halfling seer) is an old and seemingly fragile woman that lives in Oldtown, and claims to live off of fortune telling while also claiming to once have been a member of the Fate Weavers. She normally has a couple of strong and not-too-bright toughs watching over her place and her well-decorated home, a situation that makes Luna naturally suspicious of the woman. For a price, she taught Luna a bit about focusing the elf's own latent ability to see into the future. Luna still visits on occasion when she has a vision that she has difficulty deciphering, but rumors of Thuela's involvement in criminal affairs has caused the relationship to be more distant than what it could be.

• Barrat Tilden (half-elf rogue 7) is a senior member of the Longfinger's Guild and a source of information when it comes to the various crime organizations of Ptolus. The man is usually upbeat and admires the current guildmaster, Hayman Knapp. What Luna has also discovered is that Barrat is an Imperial agent working for the Imperial Eyes, the spies of the Empire. He has been charged with helping Haymann keep the guild intact and running, as the Longfinger's Guild specializes in non-violent crime and avoids slavery and drug-running. If the guild was ever to fall, crime in Ptolus would likely become more violent because of the less moral crime organizations filling in the void. As Luna has not revealed Barrat's dual nature to anyone the two have created a friendship based on trust.

Appearance/Personality: Sithalaphis Tsal is tall, at least by human standards. He has dark green skin and the yellow-green reptilian eyes of his people. His arms seem thin compared to his thick skinned body. He has a tendency to tilt his head to one side when talking to people. His voice is somewhat raspy and he speaks common with too many sylabant sounds, but can be understood easily enough by those human who concentrate. His owlfeather armor is concealed under his clothes which are made of stout brown cloth, but have seen hard use. A faded blue cloak completes his attire. His large clawed feet are bare as is the 4' tail behind him. He wears a stout club of darkwood on his belt along with leather pouches that are worn enough to be hand me downs. A pack and a long wicker case over his shoulder suggests that he is a workman carrying some parcel. A keener eye will perceive that the case is about rifle sized and that there is a powder horn under his cloak.

History/Background: Tsal is a long time resident of the city and has been an advocate for his people and underdogs in general.

Contacts

- Gaellas Icestar is a female halfling with a scar along the side of her face and a love of things elven. She lives in Midtown and has a gruff personality that few find themselves able to get past, although she finds Sithalaphis Tsal's connection to nature fascinating. She is a courier who does a lot of contract work for a man named Doraedian Mythlord, and usually picks up a tip or two when big events are happening among the movers and shakers of Ptolus.

- Nayvras the Oracle (female human expert 10) is the current lady who is the speaker in the Shrine of the Oracle in the Temple District. The Shrine is the home of the Brotherhood of the Oracle and is also a place that Sithalaphis Tsal has found himself drawn on more than one occasion. The Oracle is plain-looking with shoulder-length brown hair, small eyes, and a quiet demeanor. She has said before that Sithalaphis Tsal will be part of a great time of heroes and danger, but has not elaborated on how. More often, the two walk the grounds of the Shrine and talk of the world outside the city and their hopes for it.
