D&D 5E THE CURSE OF AMBERSTAR - ROGUE'S GALLERY
hafrogman
Adventurer
Yttrian - Elf (Wood) Fighter 6
[sblock=Background]Personality Trait: The first thing I do in a new place is note the locations of every exit or possible escape. I don't like feeling trapped.
Ideal: Independence. When people follow orders blindly, they embrace a kind of tyranny.
Bond: I fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
Flaw: I am followed by dark, blood-soaked memories that time has failed to quell.
-----------------------------------------------------
I was only a boy when Wellington's men came to take my village. I don't know what we had done to offend them, or if we were merely in their way to something greater. They killed those who resisted and took the rest of us, locking us in chains and dark rooms, far from the forests of my childhood. We were moved from place to place, working as we were told, being punished if we dared refuse. We didn't make good miners, but they pushed us doubly hard. Every additional task we took on was another soul consigned to those gods-forsaken pits.
Sometime later we were rounded up and brought along as porters and servants on some military excursion. There was a strange mix of anger, pride and fear among the soldiers. From careful listening I learned their intentions. They planned to turn on their own masters, the strange benefactors that had allowed them to wreak such destruction upon our world. There in the war camps I learned their secrets. They weren't what they presented to those they conquered, implacable foes wielding unimaginable powers. No, they were still just humans. Humans in fancy suits, with strange weapons. But those were just tools, the men inside were the same as any. They were also foolish and vastly overconfident.
As we left Wellington and traveled into the wilderness, it began to speak to me as it had in years before. This was my home, not the human cities and their slave pens. As dark fell, I found my opportunity. Wellington's men drank and celebrated their victories, past and future, and sent me for more wine. I found my way to the stores, but now they lay unguarded, lazy soldiers having joined their fellows in revelry. Realizing my chance, I stole a uniform and one of their weapons and made good my escape. Once past the picket lines, I ran deep into the wilds, giddy in my new freedom and reveling in my return to nature. It was only as dawn broke before me that I realized what I had left behind. So many of my people were still in those camps, my family and all those I had known. The euphoria of my freedom gave way to a new determination. I would use these tools against the men that had imprisoned us.
I turned back and followed the Wellington forces. I stayed well out of sight for the time, an army can hardly conceal their tracks. I considered my options and tried to formulate plans. Then I set out to find my kin. I hadn't realized how close to the sanctuary we already were. The humans had reached their destination. I don't know fully what they sought there, but what they found was death. The blood on the fields was thick and seemingly endless. I saw no living soul there. I am ashamed to say I fled there. I was still a boy by the measure of my people, but I should have stayed and looked for any signs, but I did not. Instead, I ran.
The disasters that followed have darkened the world. Wellington deserves the fate upon them, but more than just they suffer. I live at the edges of their society. I find work as I can, there is always a use for those who know how to fight. When I can't find work, I hunt. Men, mostly. Those that prey on the weak, those that would take or keep slaves. I do not have the strength to break Wellington, not yet anyways, but I do what I can.
The word of this new expedition spread even to my corners. Human memory is such a fickle thing. Does this Duke Conrad expect the people to have forgotten? His kind is responsible for this curse. Men like him, grasping for power. Still, I need to go back. My lost family haunts me in the quiet moments. I must return to what I could not face as child, and now face it as a warrior. I have signed on to this exploration of the Teraphim Sanctum, just another faceless mercenary. We shall see what fate holds in store for me.

[sblock=Appearance]Tall, and sturdily built, especially for an elf, Yttrian nonetheless shows the signs of extended exposure to the Amberstar's curse. Now 130, he is still considered young by elven standards ... or what would have been considered standard before the world changed, but he has been weathered harshly by the last decades. His skin is pale and all of his hair has long since fallen out, leaving him with a somewhat unsettling appearance. His weapons and armor are old, but well cared for. They are of an alien origin that clearly gives them away as salvaged, stolen or black-market purchases. But Wellington seems to lack the influence or will to attempt to reclaim them.[/sblock]
[sblock=Rolls]The Curse of Amberstar:
4D6.HIGH(3) = [1, 4, 2, 3] = 9
4D6.HIGH(3) = [6, 4, 5, 2] = 15
4D6.HIGH(3) = [3, 3, 1, 5] = 11
4D6.HIGH(3) = [2, 5, 4, 5] = 14
4D6.HIGH(3) = [3, 6, 5, 2] = 14
4D6.HIGH(3) = [3, 6, 5, 4] = 15
The Curse of Amberstar - gold:
1D20 = [2] = 2
1500 + 50 * 2 = 1600 gold

Lyllie Lightgrave, Gnome Necrodruid
[SBLOCK=Character Portrait]
[/SBLOCK]
[SBLOCK=Lyllie's Story]
Lyllie was a druid from the small Gnomish enclave of Glitterdale, nestled somewhere deep in the (Un-named?) Woods near Willington. She was but a child then, still learning the arts when the Amberstar rose from its depths and laid waste to the land and everything in it. That is, everything but Lyllie. There she stood, alone for the first time, her beloved woods suddenly transformed into a rotting mire devoid of all signs of life; the leaves turned to ash, and the now barren branches sucked dry of their lifeblood.
With nothing left, she traveled to the city. Or what was left of it. A look in a mirror revealed to her her new scars, thanks to the Amberstar. And her eyes, while still functioning, were ghostly white.
Her nature resources were gone, so she turned to books for answers. And got more than she bargained for...

ADVENTURE FEATURES
Teraphim Blessing: Aanzu, Harfik and the Captain are psychic 'brothers', able to establish a mental link to each other, as long as the parts in communication are within a hundred yards. The three now have a shared pool of skills. Each time any of them uses a power, a slot is employed. Aanzu also receives the ability to discern friend from foe three times a day, as an immediate spell. Additionally, he can muster the inner Teraphim strength, applying +4 to his strength during rage. (post)
Blue Dragon Rage: While raging, Aanzu can grow wings that grant a fly speed or make an extra attack (unarmed +8, 1d8+2 plus any strength bonuses). In addition, Aanzu has limited control over the weather around his body, creating clouds that give attacks against him disadvantage and attackers take 1d4 blessed or electric damage per level on successful hits.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
[sblock=Portrait]
[/sblock]As a dragonborn from a royal bloodline tracing its origin back to blue dragons, Aanzu looks more draconic than most of his race. His scales are deep blue, with a tinge of brown closer to his belly. A shock of white hair, highly unusual for a dragonborn, frames his head and makes him look more human despite his cold reptilian yellow eyes.
Aanzu is muscled and strong, his whole posture that of an experienced warrior. The prince is dressed in gold and blue fabrics, leaving his arms bare, and he carries a huge sword on his back and an amulet made from a dragon's decorated fang around his neck.
BIO
Aanzu of the Sethmek dynasty, son of King Koozu of the land of Sethmandu in the deserts far to the southeast, has always had a weakness for soft, fleshy humanoids. Although he is a fierce and proud warrior blessed by the powerful Blue Dragon totem, it was a public secret that the Prince was often too friendly with the human slaves that were kept around court. Knowing of this weakness, the last Duke of Wellington sent a diplomatic envoy to negotiate a trading agreement for the coveted riches buried deep beneath the desert sands of Sethmandu.
The envoy was led by a female human called Ellah Ravenblade, and Aanzu found her irresistable. They had a brief but fiery fling, but when the negotiations turned ugly because proud King Koozu insisted on getting the famed Wellington weaponry, Ellah attempted to assassinate the king.
Aanzu, not believing his lover capable of such acts, tried to stop his twin brother Zuno and the guards, so that Ellah and the rest of the envoy fled back to Wellington.
The king, badly wounded and in no state to perform the duties of reign, appointed wise Zuno as regent. Feeling slighted, Aanzu asked what part he could play in his father's absence, but the king shook his head.
"Oathbreaker," he called Aanzu by his childhood nickname; a monicker he had gotten after breaking his promise to his brother to return a carved dragon statue he wanted to play with. It was now a serious accusation. Aanzu was banished by his father and brother, never to return unless he tracks down the envoy, and eat their hearts as the greatest insult known to Sethmandu.
It's been years and Aanzu has wandered the world, taking up jobs as a ferocious and effective sellsword, making his way to now-ruined Wellington. There he hopes to find the only person of the bloody envoy still alive; his old lover, Ellah Ravenblade...[/sblock][sblock=Inventory]

He dresses in the loose fitting pants of his slave station with a belt made of cloth braided into a chain wrapped 3 times around him, and a tunic designed to leave part of his left chest bare as a reminder that should he betray the count or try to escape he will have his heart torn out.
He has served as an entertainer in combat pits for several years and has become a trusted servant. Count Fredrik, refusing to answer the call himself but seeing an opportunity to gain favor of the Duke has sent Harfik as his personal representative to help with the excursion into the Teraphim Sanctum.
Harfik is not simply a gladiator, he has a knack for noticing things and reading people, reporting everything back to Fredrik. Harfik has proved himself a valuable source of information for the count. Influential people wanting to meet the famous pit fighter and on occasion making the mistake of drinking to much and divulging to much information. His orders on this mission are to return with information that can be used. He knows that he is a valuable slave, not he is not stupid enough to think he is not replaceable.
His mind is filled with options as he answers the call. Will he learn anything of value to Fredrik? Does Fredrik want to move against the Wellingtons or blackmail them?

FlawKethra is quick to make judgments about people on first meeting them, and slow to correct those judgments.
[/sblock][sblock=Backstory]Kethra was the eldest child of a small army of brats. Her parents weren't too well off, rumors swirled that Kethra's grandparents were experimented on by Teraphim in strange ways. Kethra's appearance was always unusual and her stern adherence to rules made her not very popular amongst the other children. Kethra joined the City Watch in order to fight darkness, becoming an expert at stealth and spotting criminals. Her aasimar abilities came bursting forth when she and her partner were besieged by thugs, and only bny healing him was he saved. Feeling these abilities were a gift, she joined the church of Erathis, devotinmg herself to fighting darkness where she could. She became a symbol to her city and emboldened by her exploits, people began fighting back against the criminals in their midst, and estblishing just order. When she got the request from the Duke, she knew that Erathis was calling her to establish order on a new path, and to also find out more about her powers.

Rune scribe 1
Rune: [sblock=KYO RUNE CUBE Master rune, rare (requires attunement) - Force]
A glass cube with a size length of exactly one foot. As one gazes through, the kyo rune – the rune of force – can be vaguely distinguished. As you touch it you feel parts of your body being compressed and constricted. This feeling passes after a moment. Immovable Object (Simple Property). While attuned to this rune you have resistance to Force damage and have advantage on all checks to avoid forced movement.
Poltergeist (Simple Property): While attuned to this rune you may use a bonus action to manipulate objects similar to the mage hand spell. The limitation of this is 10 pounds and objects may either be drawn towards you or pushed away a maximum of 30 feet; the rune power is incapable of fine manipulations. Aspect of the Ram (Simple Property): While attuned to this rune you gain advantage to Athletics checks for jumping, shoving, and breaking down doors. Repelling Shield (Complex Property): Over the course of a short rest, you inscribe this rune onto a normal sized shield or buckler as you expend a spell slot. The air around the shield takes on a distorted appearance. If someone defending with the shield is attacked and missed in combat, they may spend their reaction to block. This will deal 1d6 force damage per level of the spell slot to the attacker, and they must make a Strength saving throw (DC 12 + the level of the expended spell slot) or be knocked prone. These effects last for 24 hours or until you use this property again. Force Wave (Complex Property): You trace the rune into the air in front of you as an action and spend a spell slot. Up to 3 adjacent creatures in an arc in front of you (in melee range) are pushed by a wave of force and must make a Strength saving throw (DC 12 + the level of the expended spell slot). On a failed saving throw, creatures take 1d8 force damage per level of the spell and are pushed back 5 feet. On a successful saving throw, creatures take half damage and are not pushed. Feet of Attraction (Complex Property): You may inscribe this rune in inverse upon your feet and expend a spell slot to gain the Spider Climb effect. It lasts for 5 minutes per level of the spell slot expended, but does not require concentration.

[sblock=Technomancers dream]Thulwar's weapon refuses to become anything too stable. Instead, it turns into a device of creation, armed with the lethal attributes of a weapon. Like a forge, the gun can turn into a mechanical device, helping Thulwar's work - when he uses it, he always has advantage in alchemist rolls and any sort of mechanic manipulation rolls - fixing things, opening doors, disarming traps, tech rolls, etc. It is, for all purposes, a combined set of tools, serving for thieving and scientific skills. Also, the gun reduces in two the difficulties to produce intoxicant substances - from moonshine to poisons. As for the attacks, they follow the standard 3d6+3, but they can do a spread attack that emulates the properties of fire through energy - reducing the damage to 1d6+3, but reaching up to three enemies before Thulwar.

[sblock=Description and History]
Thulwar Metallurgist lived happy life of study in (relative) peace and quiet of the Underdark. With his family mixing metals, smithing new tools and following miners, he was kind of black sheep. But he was too curious to remain at the metals. As an scholar of all things natural, magical, religious and with insatiable curiosity for their interactions, he soon moved to metals enhanced by plant extracts, crushed stones or crystals, metals held long in liqud state, frozen by magic or whatever else he could think of. After some successes and failures, he realized he needed the power and variation that magic offered. His initial forage into The Lore lead to creation of a small bag that was much bigger on the inside than on the outside. After that, he managed to decipher real spells, but never took time to learn as many of them as his fellow academics. He spent too much time traveling outside in various groups, collecting samples and experimenting.
It lead directly to refined acid, to quick burning fuel, to a concotion that enhanced his stamina so he could move faster without tireing. His best discovery was an alchemical mixture that replicated common healing potion, but greately enhanced its effect. At the cost of stressing the body so it could take only single dose in a day.
Once when he was outside, the patrol ran into tribe of goblins. Not common creatures deep down, but not dangerous either. They were easy to route and the object of their attention was revealed. At first, it seemed to be a man in plate armor, but equally fast the brain showed all the wrong things on the body. It was not human in the plate armor, it was plate armor in the shape of human. It was damaged, opened, sliced, burned and torn. Realizing it is some kind of golem, Thulwar was reluctant bringing it back for study, but counting on all the defenses in the city, he brought it back with him.
The study didn't show much beside skill that went into articulation of such a being. He learned much from it, but couldn't restore it to working order despite consultations with most learned mages they had. But it started him on the path to create his own creature.
As he learned more, his expeditions went ever higher toward the world of light and ever deeper into the Underdark. At one such expedition, in shallow caves near the surface he found another golem, this one burried under the stone and grown over by dangerous fungi which hid it and preserved it. After taking fungi for his alchemy, he checked the golem. This one was clearly less damaged than the first one. One plate was knocked out of alignment, one pipe was dripping oil (which he recognized as machine oil they used in Grundubopigrad, essentially heavy oil with finely ground coal) and face plate covering one eye. After he repaired everything, he tried to start the machine. But whatever he did, it stayed inert. Finally, he tried curing it as he would a living being. And to his amazement, eyes glowed, all joints moved one by one in quick sequence "...Initiating..." came metallic voice from somewhere deep within. After several more words he couldn't understand such as "Loading" and "Running diagnostics" it ended with "System restored", sound stopped, eyes dampened their glow and the head turned toward him. On the arm small shield like object opened and small light shortly played over (by now retreating) Thulwar
"Unknown creature. Intelligent. Weapon bearing. Danger asessment: potentially lethal. Unit CRD385 still vulnerable, location unknown. Procedure: Protect self. Extreme prejudice."
Another device unfolded, this one from the shoulder and turned toward frightened svirfneblin.
Screaming bolt of fire splashed across his quickly raised shield of faith. The other splashed harmlessly into the stone as the gnome made good his escape.
Several years later, most extreme earthquake hit the city. Three Cities, in their tight labyrinth of tunnels where they lived and prospered were dangerously damaged. The earthquake collapsed some tunnels, damaged others and opened rifts into their midst. After initial furor an investigators team was created because diviners said it came from above, from the surface.
Equipped with items for communication, trained in stealth (even if they weren't before) five emissaries (a warrior, a diplomat, a guide, a mage and an artificer) started the mission. Before they came to the surface, they faced many a challenge. First to fall was the warrior in his heavy armor. Too loud, too slow. And too willing to engage in combat instead of slipping by. That same evening, holding parts of his armor as the diplomat encased the body in stone finishing the last rites, Thulwar managed to activate his own protector. Something he worked on since that first machine was found. This was not in human likeness. Or an animal. This was hook horror, terrible creature, predator from the tunnels, large, beaked and with terrible hooked claws. With it, they managed to reach upper caves. And there, they lost their mage, blinded by the raising sun, he literally walked into pit trap. They frightened away kobolds that set it, but it was too late for the mage.
Finally on the surface, they agreed to dismantle Thulwars guard as that would frighten the natives and they came with peace in mind. Shortly thereafter, they saw the city. The scout went toward destroyed vale "to scout" while "smart people do the talking".

Rune: [sblock=KYO RUNE CUBE Master rune, rare (requires attunement) - Force]
A glass cube with a size length of exactly one foot. As one gazes through, the kyo rune – the rune of force – can be vaguely distinguished. As you touch it you feel parts of your body being compressed and constricted. This feeling passes after a moment. Immovable Object (Simple Property). While attuned to this rune you have resistance to Force damage and have advantage on all checks to avoid forced movement.
Poltergeist (Simple Property): While attuned to this rune you may use a bonus action to manipulate objects similar to the mage hand spell. The limitation of this is 10 pounds and objects may either be drawn towards you or pushed away a maximum of 30 feet; the rune power is incapable of fine manipulations. Aspect of the Ram (Simple Property): While attuned to this rune you gain advantage to Athletics checks for jumping, shoving, and breaking down doors. Repelling Shield (Complex Property): Over the course of a short rest, you inscribe this rune onto a normal sized shield or buckler as you expend a spell slot. The air around the shield takes on a distorted appearance. If someone defending with the shield is attacked and missed in combat, they may spend their reaction to block. This will deal 1d6 force damage per level of the spell slot to the attacker, and they must make a Strength saving throw (DC 12 + the level of the expended spell slot) or be knocked prone. These effects last for 24 hours or until you use this property again. Force Wave (Complex Property): You trace the rune into the air in front of you as an action and spend a spell slot. Up to 3 adjacent creatures in an arc in front of you (in melee range) are pushed by a wave of force and must make a Strength saving throw (DC 12 + the level of the expended spell slot). On a failed saving throw, creatures take 1d8 force damage per level of the spell and are pushed back 5 feet. On a successful saving throw, creatures take half damage and are not pushed. Feet of Attraction (Complex Property): You may inscribe this rune in inverse upon your feet and expend a spell slot to gain the Spider Climb effect. It lasts for 5 minutes per level of the spell slot expended, but does not require concentration.

[sblock=Technomancers dream]Thulwar's weapon refuses to become anything too stable. Instead, it turns into a device of creation, armed with the lethal attributes of a weapon. Like a forge, the gun can turn into a mechanical device, helping Thulwar's work - when he uses it, he always has advantage in alchemist rolls and any sort of mechanic manipulation rolls - fixing things, opening doors, disarming traps, tech rolls, etc. It is, for all purposes, a combined set of tools, serving for thieving and scientific skills. Also, the gun reduces in two the difficulties to produce intoxicant substances - from moonshine to poisons. As for the attacks, they follow the standard 3d6+3, but they can do a spread attack that emulates the properties of fire through energy - reducing the damage to 1d6+3, but reaching up to three enemies before Thulwar.

[sblock=Description and History]
Thulwar Metallurgist lived happy life of study in (relative) peace and quiet of the Underdark. With his family mixing metals, smithing new tools and following miners, he was kind of black sheep. But he was too curious to remain at the metals. As an scholar of all things natural, magical, religious and with insatiable curiosity for their interactions, he soon moved to metals enhanced by plant extracts, crushed stones or crystals, metals held long in liqud state, frozen by magic or whatever else he could think of. After some successes and failures, he realized he needed the power and variation that magic offered. His initial forage into The Lore lead to creation of a small bag that was much bigger on the inside than on the outside. After that, he managed to decipher real spells, but never took time to learn as many of them as his fellow academics. He spent too much time traveling outside in various groups, collecting samples and experimenting.
It lead directly to refined acid, to quick burning fuel, to a concotion that enhanced his stamina so he could move faster without tireing. His best discovery was an alchemical mixture that replicated common healing potion, but greately enhanced its effect. At the cost of stressing the body so it could take only single dose in a day.
Once when he was outside, the patrol ran into tribe of goblins. Not common creatures deep down, but not dangerous either. They were easy to route and the object of their attention was revealed. At first, it seemed to be a man in plate armor, but equally fast the brain showed all the wrong things on the body. It was not human in the plate armor, it was plate armor in the shape of human. It was damaged, opened, sliced, burned and torn. Realizing it is some kind of golem, Thulwar was reluctant bringing it back for study, but counting on all the defenses in the city, he brought it back with him.
The study didn't show much beside skill that went into articulation of such a being. He learned much from it, but couldn't restore it to working order despite consultations with most learned mages they had. But it started him on the path to create his own creature.
As he learned more, his expeditions went ever higher toward the world of light and ever deeper into the Underdark. At one such expedition, in shallow caves near the surface he found another golem, this one burried under the stone and grown over by dangerous fungi which hid it and preserved it. After taking fungi for his alchemy, he checked the golem. This one was clearly less damaged than the first one. One plate was knocked out of alignment, one pipe was dripping oil (which he recognized as machine oil they used in Grundubopigrad, essentially heavy oil with finely ground coal) and face plate covering one eye. After he repaired everything, he tried to start the machine. But whatever he did, it stayed inert. Finally, he tried curing it as he would a living being. And to his amazement, eyes glowed, all joints moved one by one in quick sequence "...Initiating..." came metallic voice from somewhere deep within. After several more words he couldn't understand such as "Loading" and "Running diagnostics" it ended with "System restored", sound stopped, eyes dampened their glow and the head turned toward him. On the arm small shield like object opened and small light shortly played over (by now retreating) Thulwar
"Unknown creature. Intelligent. Weapon bearing. Danger asessment: potentially lethal. Unit CRD385 still vulnerable, location unknown. Procedure: Protect self. Extreme prejudice."
Another device unfolded, this one from the shoulder and turned toward frightened svirfneblin.
Screaming bolt of fire splashed across his quickly raised shield of faith. The other splashed harmlessly into the stone as the gnome made good his escape.
Several years later, most extreme earthquake hit the city. Three Cities, in their tight labyrinth of tunnels where they lived and prospered were dangerously damaged. The earthquake collapsed some tunnels, damaged others and opened rifts into their midst. After initial furor an investigators team was created because diviners said it came from above, from the surface.
Equipped with items for communication, trained in stealth (even if they weren't before) five emissaries (a warrior, a diplomat, a guide, a mage and an artificer) started the mission. Before they came to the surface, they faced many a challenge. First to fall was the warrior in his heavy armor. Too loud, too slow. And too willing to engage in combat instead of slipping by. That same evening, holding parts of his armor as the diplomat encased the body in stone finishing the last rites, Thulwar managed to activate his own protector. Something he worked on since that first machine was found. This was not in human likeness. Or an animal. This was hook horror, terrible creature, predator from the tunnels, large, beaked and with terrible hooked claws. With it, they managed to reach upper caves. And there, they lost their mage, blinded by the raising sun, he literally walked into pit trap. They frightened away kobolds that set it, but it was too late for the mage.
Finally on the surface, they agreed to dismantle Thulwars guard as that would frighten the natives and they came with peace in mind. Shortly thereafter, they saw the city. The scout went toward destroyed vale "to scout" while "smart people do the talking".
