Instead he was caught in a trap and held for memory change or worse, enfeeble mind. That was when the sky fell, mage tower was brought down and mage that was investigated perished. Strange as it is, Berreks abilities somehow interferred with the magic or maybe it was star magic. Whatever the cause, he was left unharmed as is with his mind a blank slate. He has no concept of who he is, where he is or why he is. His only companion is currently the very mage that perished in StarFall. His name, Vensh Alaber, means nothing to Berrek, except that his first appearance caused short flashback of memory of older man showing the location of the tower on the map and illusion of Vensh's face.</p><p></p><p>After the calamity he managed to return to civilized lands and live off the streets for a time. One morning he was awaken by the ghost and found small peace of paper saying:</p><p></p><p>To Berrek Sandblade</p><p>The Hand has chosen you to go as Our representative and witness to Star Fall site. Report to ?? where another five heroes will gather. You are to keep an eye on the mages present and to report any strange magical phenomena that bear further investigation. You're free to keep any spoils you recover with usual 5% tithe.</p><p></p><p></p><p>He was delighted to find out his name. He now has little information to start recovering his life. Of course there are questions: What is The Hand? Who is older man he saw in flashback? Why was he sent to Vensh in the first place?</p><p></p><p>Without anchor or goal except to find out who he is Berrek went to ?? and thus, adventure begins.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Details, currently unknown to Berrek:</p><p>Berrek has strange mark on his right hand. He had it since he can remember it and his parents say that he was adopted from orphanage with that tatoo. In time it streched some and lost it's initial bright purple color fading to slight purple and almost looking as strange scar.</p><p></p><p>He is born in Gerpalistar, but, because of some politicking and (literal) backstabbing, he was sent out to a relative (Onodar Feldspar) in Jormikfen. Onodar received news of Berreks parents demise and having no use for an infant or interest in keeping him without gain left his mark on the child for easier tracking and left him in an orphanage. He was adopted by local glassblower and his wife, Jeremiah and Irene Sandblade. Over the course of years he had several strange encounters and received training from his hired tutor in more then just literacy and magic. In time he joined mage guild through their secret police 'The Black Hand'. His uncle kept him under surveilance and once he joined The Hand started using him for private gain. Thus, just before starfall he was sent to spy on mage on suspicion of creating magebred abominations, in truth only to scout out innocent mage for preparing stealing of his newly researched spells.</p><p></p><p>This mage, feeling betrayed by the very organisation that should be preventing such actions was harsh on young Berrek, but never got to fulfill his threats. He was good man and regardless of his threats to feeblemind young thief, he settled on memory wipe. In the middle of the process star fell, interferring both with magic and Berreks abilities deleting most of his memory. The mage died in ruins of his tower, most or all his books and research incinerated in the event. For some strange reason he rose at next sunset just as Berrek managed to slip out of the bonds holding him.</p><p></p><p>He still cannot communicate meaningfuly with anyone and he shows none of the powers usualy manifested by true ghosts. He seems mostly immune to turning attempts and any kind of spell or weapon. Whenever he tries to communicate, only low pitched moaning is heard, when he tries to manifest only general outline of ectoplasm shows. Berrek is aware that this is same man that held him captive, but seems that he cannot do anything about his haunting.</p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="Neurotic, post: 4745250, member: 24380"] [b]Berrek Sandblade[/b] Not formatted yet, not sure all items are valid or total sum... I took cost of wand of cure light wounds as 150 (750/5) as I assume we WILL pitch in for one even if we have the cleric Need traits, one of which will almost certainly be Stellar caution.

[/sblock] Member of cabal of mage guild 'guardians' (enforcers) that take care of one mage taking over whole guild or doing forbidden things...The Black Hand. Unfortunately, once Berrek got over his head in what should have been simple scout/probe/information gathering mission on a suspect mage. Instead he was caught in a trap and held for memory change or worse, enfeeble mind. That was when the sky fell, mage tower was brought down and mage that was investigated perished. Strange as it is, Berreks abilities somehow interferred with the magic or maybe it was star magic. Whatever the cause, he was left unharmed as is with his mind a blank slate. He has no concept of who he is, where he is or why he is. His only companion is currently the very mage that perished in StarFall. His name, Vensh Alaber, means nothing to Berrek, except that his first appearance caused short flashback of memory of older man showing the location of the tower on the map and illusion of Vensh's face. After the calamity he managed to return to civilized lands and live off the streets for a time. One morning he was awaken by the ghost and found small peace of paper saying: To Berrek Sandblade The Hand has chosen you to go as Our representative and witness to Star Fall site. Report to ?? where another five heroes will gather. You are to keep an eye on the mages present and to report any strange magical phenomena that bear further investigation. You're free to keep any spoils you recover with usual 5% tithe. He was delighted to find out his name. He now has little information to start recovering his life. Of course there are questions: What is The Hand? Who is older man he saw in flashback? Why was he sent to Vensh in the first place? Without anchor or goal except to find out who he is Berrek went to ?? and thus, adventure begins. Details, currently unknown to Berrek: Berrek has strange mark on his right hand. He had it since he can remember it and his parents say that he was adopted from orphanage with that tatoo. In time it streched some and lost it's initial bright purple color fading to slight purple and almost looking as strange scar. He is born in Gerpalistar, but, because of some politicking and (literal) backstabbing, he was sent out to a relative (Onodar Feldspar) in Jormikfen. Onodar received news of Berreks parents demise and having no use for an infant or interest in keeping him without gain left his mark on the child for easier tracking and left him in an orphanage. He was adopted by local glassblower and his wife, Jeremiah and Irene Sandblade. Over the course of years he had several strange encounters and received training from his hired tutor in more then just literacy and magic. In time he joined mage guild through their secret police 'The Black Hand'. His uncle kept him under surveilance and once he joined The Hand started using him for private gain. Thus, just before starfall he was sent to spy on mage on suspicion of creating magebred abominations, in truth only to scout out innocent mage for preparing stealing of his newly researched spells. This mage, feeling betrayed by the very organisation that should be preventing such actions was harsh on young Berrek, but never got to fulfill his threats. He was good man and regardless of his threats to feeblemind young thief, he settled on memory wipe. In the middle of the process star fell, interferring both with magic and Berreks abilities deleting most of his memory. The mage died in ruins of his tower, most or all his books and research incinerated in the event. For some strange reason he rose at next sunset just as Berrek managed to slip out of the bonds holding him. He still cannot communicate meaningfuly with anyone and he shows none of the powers usualy manifested by true ghosts. He seems mostly immune to turning attempts and any kind of spell or weapon. Whenever he tries to communicate, only low pitched moaning is heard, when he tries to manifest only general outline of ectoplasm shows. Berrek is aware that this is same man that held him captive, but seems that he cannot do anything about his haunting. [/QUOTE]
