K'yorl Vrinn, cleric of Lolth

[SBLOCK=Background]
K'yorl Vrinn is the youngest daughter of Sharrysn Vrinn, until recently the matron mother of the house of Vrinn in Maerimydra. As a girl, she had enjoyed a privileged existence, with plenty of slaves and low status males to torment. In this rarefied atmosphere, she played at assassination and intrigue, turning the slaves against one another and manipulating them like marionettes, building alliances, turning them upside down, and tearing them apart with ease. It was an idyllic existence, and her talents became apparent early. She took up Lolth's mantle at a relatively young age and proved herself adept at both spellcraft and politics. Favored by her mother, she was both feared and reviled by her two older sisters. It was an open secret that Sharrysn viewed K'yorl as her most promising heir, and it was not lost on her sisters that her ascension could happen only over their dead bodies.

They conspired against her, but their machinations were obvious and pathetic. They poisoned her food. They clouded the minds of her favorite slaves and turned them against her. They spread vile rumors among the nobility. K'yorl met and countered them with ease. And then, exactly forty days ago, they made a truly bold move - one that she would have thought beyond their courage, and one for which they must have had the assistance of another house: they murdered their own mother. Sharrysn's bloated and liquescent corpse was discovered in her private chambers, the victim of a rare and particularly malevolent poison. How she could have been so careless, K'yorl does not know, but the point is irrelevant now.

As the eldest, Vicuriia immediately ascended to the position of matron, and as her first act, she slew Haldiazar, her junior, and framed her for the murder of their mother. Recognizing the shattering loss of position this turn of events represented, and understanding that her own days were numbered, K'yorl grabbed what she could and fled Maeimydra for the relative anonymity of Szith Morcane. Between her own magics and those she was able to steal as she fled, she has successfully avoided her sister's attempts to discover her location, but she will not be able to hide forever. Here, among escaped slaves and misfits of every description, she has learned some humility, and learned it the hard way. Her position here is not inviolable, her station is not respected, and should any discover her true identity, her life is forfeit. House Vrinn would pay handsomely for information regarding her current whereabouts, and who knows what lies they are spinning about her in Maerimydra. But there is nothing to do, but sit, and wait, and plot her revenge.

Personality:
Although strikingly beautiful by human standards, Ardyth tends to come across as haughty or even arrogant. She is competent and knowledgeable. She tends to be totally loyal to friends and companions.

Background:
At the early age of 3, Ardyth was a child prodigy showing amazing magical aptitude. Her parents who were farmers, thinking they had a gold mine for a daughter, sought the finest teachers and tutors in the land to help their gifted daughter. They sold their farm and pooled what gold they had thinking that it was an investment into the future. But they found that it was not enough and had to borrow large sums of gold in order to finance her tutelage. Her teachers were amazed at how quickly someone so young could not only learn so quickly but master the mystic arts quickly and precisely as well. But even her teachers did not foresee that she would be surpassing them in such a short time.

At the age of 5 she had surpassed her teachers and they had suggested an excellent magic school. Her parents by this time had amassed quite a large debt. A local landowner made a deal with her parents that would forgive their large debts and pay a hefty fee on top of that. Being less then scrupulous by this time and growing weary from the constant fees, her parents agreed. Ardyth now had a new benefactor. He sent her to magic school in order to learn from the best the realm had to offer. Like her parents, the wealthy land owner saw a gold mine in this young savant. Once at the school she learned many things she had only dreamed of about the arcane arts. Also her body quickly caught up to her mind and she became an early bloomer as well.

By age 12 she had again surpassed her tutors and was searching for more knowledge. Also her body was now fully developed giving her the look of a woman twice her age. With little more then her spellbook and some food, she fled in the night from the academy. Adventure was on her mind. She longed for the true application of her talents. She traveled to a nearby town and joined with a group of likeminded adventurers. Thus began an 8 year long adventuring career.

At age 20 she had been with her companions for 8 years. They had been through thick and thin together. They were investigating a particularly dark dungeon when they came upon a fissure in one of the walls. One of her companions made the comment that the fissure probably lead to the underdark. The underdark had been a secret study for Ardyth and she insisted on going that way. The others of her party told her that they would not accompany her should she choose that route. She understood their reluctance, but said she must do this. So Ardyth the mage separated from her companions that day and started her new journey through the underdark.

At the age of 22 Ardyth has spent the last 2 years exploring the underdark. For the last 3 months she has been in Szith Morcane. Her latest companions have moved on. She has spent her time creating some magic items to be used when she is ready to move on. Now she just needs to find a new group to join.

Blite, Minotaur Fighter 1/Barbarian 1

Character Background:

Terrible tragedy befell Blite. But a child among the minotaurs he was captured by men and imprisoned. They believed they had caught a powerful beast, little did they know that Blite still had many years left to develop to his full potential.

Trapped in a maze, Blite was yet to master his kinds natural ability to find their way out. He was left to wander, unsure of where he was or where he was going to.

Feeding on whatever creatures he could find, Blite thought he had met his end, until, one day, a man came forth into the maze and found Blite. Dragging a ball of string to find his exit, the man came upon Blite, heavily armed.

Blite thought little of the armaments that the man carried. The maze was a dangerous place filled with peril, he surely would not have found him otherwise. But perhaps here, in this man, Blite would find his saviour, and the man would lead him to his freedom?

The man raised his blade, crying out that he was Theses or somesuch, and had come to slay him. Blite despaired - this was no saviour! The man proved strong, and Blite, still not fully grown, fell to him. Left for dead in the heart of the maze, Blite feared that he had met his fate, but it was not to be.

Gradually he recovered and regained his strength after the battle. The maze, a most hostile place, proved a good training ground if nothing else, and Blite's skills in combat improved.

Eventually finding his way out, he finds the world a very different place from that which he remembers. Taken in by a band of orcs, he was equipped by their finest weaponsmiths, and taught some of their ways. He had thought them his friends, and fought beside them many a time. Increasingly though, the orcs used Blite to fight their battles for them, slaying, or just inspiring fear among their enemies. Little more than a gladiator or slave, this was no way for him to live, he was only there for the amusement of the orcs. It was time for them to go.

Wiping orc blood from his horn, Blite now looks for the next place he might travel, and the place he might find his home for a while.

Zarra Lhalabar

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When still a young girl, Zarra and her family decided that it was time to move. Her parents, Belgos and Alauniira, were very skilled in the way of the magical arts and figured that it would be a rather safe move to the city Maerimydra - especially since it was just the three of them and and her father hired a guide.
During their traveling the guide unfortunately got a little lost and led them right into a group of grimlocks. Well thanks to Zarra's parents' quick thinking they were able to escape without many casualties. Belgos was injured rather badly in his left leg and couldn't move properly and with neither of them being very skilled in the arts of healing, it wasn't set right; but it was bandaged well enough to keep it from bleeding out and to keep it from infection. Not wanting to risk getting lost again though, they stuck to the course and headed straight for Maerimydra.
Upon reaching it, they immediately searched out the nearest temple, which happened to be a temple of Lolth. It was too late though. They attempted to heal his leg, but the bone had already healed too much in the wrong position and now he would walk with a limp for the rest of his life.
As time went by Alauniira became rather fond of Lolth and became a priestess as well. So when Zarra reached her adulthood, her mother attempted to bring her into the fold. Zarra, however, was not intended to be a priestess it seemed. She didn't seem to posses the skills to be as magically adept as her parents either. Her skills, it seemed, where of a different nature.
Zarra wanted to be a guide. She wanted to be a better guide than the one who had led them here; for in her mind he didn't do a good job at all. So she left the city to get more familiar with the 'Underdark.'
Being gone quite a long time, she only recently found out about Lolth's silence and Maerimydra being taken over.
When she heard the news she was greatly disturbed. What had happened to her parents? Will she ever find out? Now she is trying to find others who want to help get Maerimydra back before it's too late to find out.

Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day enlarge person and invisibility as a wizard of twice the duergar's class level (minimum caster level 3rd); these abilities affect only the duergar and whatever it carries.
Light Sensitivity: Duergar are dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.

Dwarf Powers:
Stonecunning: This ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn't stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Dwarves have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.
Stability: Dwarves are exceptionally stable on their feet. A dwarf has a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
+1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs (including half-orcs) and goblinoids (including goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears).
+4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against creatures of the giant type (such as ogres, trolls, and hill giants).
+2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to stone or metal items.
+2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal.

Prixo Caldurel

Prixo Caldurel was born to a family of drow merchants in Maerimydra, and was an only child. Even as a youth, it was clear that he excelled in athletic pursuits. Seeking to raise their social status, the Caldurels sent him to join the mercenary followers of Selvetarm. He became one of the most skilled mercenaries in Maerimydra, and few could stand before his deadly barrage of arrows.

He was rewarded for his skill by being allowed to keep a powerful magic bow which he looted while hired to raid the minor noble house of Ulotti. The surviving members of the defeated house likely want it back, but so far haven't been able to do anything about it. Still, it’s another reason he watches his back.

Selvetarm is the Drow god of war and warriors, allied with Lolth, so it made sense for Drow mercenaries to follow him. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selvetarm) The largely male organization offers a rare chance for advancement to males in the city. (I intentionally left it vague because I didn't want to step on the toes of whatever organizations are described in the module, and I figured there was likely something there that you could fit it into.)

Drow mercenaries often view fighting as an art, and like a painter or any other artist would, they sell their works. Prixo, however, is a bit more honorable than most. Despite his skill on the attack, he found assassination distateful, and developed a code of honor of sorts. He preferred to take assignments as a bodyguard, rather than an assassin.

It was a fairly good life for him; he used his earnings to purchase new equipment, and for personal entertainment as he frequented the city’s brothels. (In Mearimydra there are drow whores (often females offering males a chance to be in charge for a while, for a price) as well as non-drow sex slaves, mainly surface elves who can be abused in the act.) Prixo mainly patronized the drow brothels. He thought it cheaper than having a drow girlfriend, and likely more honest.

On a routine stint as a bodyguard, the wealthy merchant Rayto Buna who’d hired him was ambushed, and Prixo didn’t hesitate to mow down the attackers. Too late, he realized that a priestess of Lolth was among those he’d slain. He didn’t know who she was, but knew this was trouble. Fearing for his life, he purchased a magic hat of disguise and fled the city.

He’d heard of Szith Morcane, but didn’t know that it was still in use. When he stumbled upon it, it seemed to offer the second chance he needed; a fighter of his ability is sure to be in demand. He tries to keep a low profile, and a sharp eye out for either threats or opportunities.

He still respects his parents (loves would be too strong a word), and in the current situation he is apprehensive about their safety.

Bat Familiar 'Noire'

Background/History: Lyssa was born on a boat sailing the Glimmersea some 30 years ago. She possesses the wanderlust so common to Gloamings and has been traveling the underdark ever since. At the age of 13 she parted with her family to see Ogremock’s bane. Lyssa is a bold Gloaming with a good mix of survival skills, unusual strength of arms and a touch of the sorcerous magic that is a gift found in many of her people. These abilities and her curiosity and taken her from one end of the underdark to the other. She has worked as a rogue and mercenary for several factions over the years, but never stayed in one place long or put down roots. Eventually, Lyssa wandered into Deepburrow and found that she liked the Halflings there. She lived and worked in the area for several months and then one night 5 years ago she wandered into the surface world. She was enjoying the stars and the taverns and was walking down a street when it happened. The sun began to rise. This horrible burning orb of light in the sky blinded her and filled her with terror. She stumbled her way back underground and sought the depths with no desire to ever return to the surface world. In her haste she dropped her pouch and found herself with out a copper to her name in the Drow city of Maerimydra. Having no love, indeed some of the loathing of all Gloamings, for the Drow, she chose to petition the leader of a multiracial mercenary band—the golden blades, for a position. She had to fight an existing member of that band for a place. Though it was a close won fight, she earned the respect of the troop. The band typically hires out to Drow houses for conflict with other Drow. This gave Lyssa the opportunity to make a living killing Drow. A calling she found that she enjoyed and she stayed with the band for nearly 5 years. Many of the band were Drow themselves and she came to learn that not all Drow were the horrible fiends she had been led to believe—just most of them, especially the ones in power. But she made friends among the outcast Drow of the band as well as many others. A few months back her troop was on the losing end of a battle with a force of Grimlocks. Such a loss stung her badly and she decided to move on. She felt a great guilt having survived when so many of her friends had died. She still has friends among other troops of the Golden Blades in Maerimydra, but the wanderlust has seized her. Having heard rumors of a new settlement she set off for Szith Morcane. She has been there a few months, but hasn’t really found a calling she likes; having worked as a guard there she doesn’t feel at home. Soon she’ll be moving on to a new adventure in the vast realms below the surface.

Appearance: Lyssa looks like a storybook fairy mixed with nightmare. She is less than three feet tall yet typically hovers at a height that puts her a couple of inches taller than those around her. Her dark hair is pinned back from from her face and spills down her back to charcoal colored furry wings. She seems to glow with a soft inner light equal to a candle, but when more light is needed she can become as bright as a burning torch. Her eyes are large and almond shaped violet gray color and seem almost metalic in the glow of her inner light. She carries the scars of her warrior's life. In addition to scars she has several tattoos, most notably a swirl pattern on the back of her left hand that, when she glows brightly, casts a shadow in the shape of a target. She also has a small horned skull on her right cheek covering a scar and arcane runes around each ankle. She carries all her weapons except for a warhammer and dagger in a quiver on her back. She wears a fine breastplate of sparkling mithril and a heavy darkwood shield. She has a scroll case strapped to one thigh and a wand sheath on the other. Her clothes are mostly highly functional utilitarian style garments in muted colors of gray and brown, but she does wear a fine spider silk scarf in irridecent reds and purples.
