PCs in a Nutshell
Yrtchull Ferach (shaff) :First Son of House Ferach (which doesn't amount to much in a matriarcal society...), betrayed by his sisters Enraela and Gentaria (currently getting ambushed in another game thread, so have a chuckle). Along with Cambrech Ferach (his cousin), Yrtchull was abandoned during a troglodyte attack by his sisters...he has no idea where his cousin is, though the Tiefling says that she has seen him just 1 level down in this castle.
Urftuk <NPC>: Orc (Reptilian) Cohort of Yrtchull. Ready to follow him wherever he leads, as long as it's away from here. Played by me.
Rith'Arnis (Fanog): Githzerei Psychic Warrior of the Third Eye Rahkma. On some business of his own here on Faerun, along with his companion Teretha BlueMane (Tiefling). Rith says that he can show the Drow back to their home city (Thelaru'acli), if they will aid him in escaping. Githzerei are notoriously Lawful, so a Pledge from one is to be trusted (unlike the Drow...)
Teretha BlueMane (ByronsGhost): Tiefling Wizard. Trailed Rith'Arnis into this Fortress after he was captured by Trogs. Waited several days then it was 'jailbreak' time. Hasa Map of some of the castle that she has drawn in prep for the escape (I will forward/post it very soon).
Cambrech Ferach (rangerjohn): Drow Cleric, cousin of Yrtchull Ferach. Friend to the young Yrtchull. Brother to Wesellu Ferach (also currently being ambushed in another thread), who may be dead for all he knows, since they were seperated in the trog attack...Currently strapped to a vivisectionists table.
Nurin Albenashu (calim) : Drow Cleric of House Albenashu. Ally to Cambrech that has come looking for him, having recieved a cryptic message that he was in trouble. Nurin, like Teretha, has been hiding out in the Fortress, waiting for a chance to effect a rescue.
To recap shaff and rangerjohn are friends/cousins. rangerjohn and calim are friends/allies in the same Clergy.
Fanog and byrons ghost are friends.The Orc NPC is shaff's cohort (played by me).
All have a similar goal, escape. Currently the 2 drow clerics are seperated from the other party members.
Hope this clears things up.
