Background ties (sorry this jumps around much):
Eladra and Colo meet in the woods several years ago and a shared fondness for the outdoors tied the two as life-long friends.
Eladra kept insisting that something was going to happen, but Colo began to doubt the fey. She always claimed she could sense the unexpected and sometimes she was right; but so too is a broken clock right twice in one day. It was at the onset of night and there they sat; silently watching a seemingly random patch of ground.
“This is a waste of…,” he began, before a sudden gust of wind silenced his protest and then they were not alone.
Voadam quickly cast a cantrip to mend his attire. As he took in his new surroundings; Voadam was startled by the sight of a fey and that seemed unsurprised by his sudden appearance; though the drow beside her, stood with his mouth agape.
“Nice trip?” asked the toothy grinned lass. Giggling she quickly ran, weaving through the trees, towards Cauldron.
Colo stood transfixed; he managed to utter, “Hello.”
Colo knows Zurg through family connections (Brewery). The two often discuss different liquors and aging methods. They were supposed to meet this evening to talk of the more pressing concerns of the recent kidnappings, but Colo had sent word through Kaelestis and Koen that something would be delaying him this night.
Zurg and Kaelestis have often talked of their exploits, each claiming to exceed the other in some way. The kidnappings will, it seems, give them a chance to work together and see what the other is truly made of.
Kaelestis initial encounter with Colo had not been a friendly one. Colo’s rather unusual appearance does have the unpleasant aspect of getting him mistaken for a dark elf. It took a bit of convincing even after the paladin’s abilities showed otherwise that Colo’s heart was not marred by evil intent. Kael’s suspicion turned to regret and he soon apologized for his mistake. Though not friends, they act in a cordial manner towards each other, and their mutual acquaintances keep causing them to run into each other.
Kali slipped the purloined coins into her pocket. She smiled to herself, no one had seen the act and she would be eating well tonight. Startled by a light touch on her shoulder, she quickly spun around.
“That was very naughty, Kali. Now, come on, you’ll want to hear this.” Eladra hurried on to the Slippery Eel, the rogue at her heels.
Kali often wondered why she put up with Eladra. Probably because no matter how much she tried, she had never been able to catch the fey off guard and yet Eladra constantly managed to surprise her without effort. Better to stay on the good side of someone such as this.
At one time or another Kali and Colo ran into each other. Their shared heritage gave them something to talk about. Though she has a fiendish heritage, Kali has managed to get through life relatively trouble free. Colo, on the hand, has had a great number of issues arise due to his celestial heritage.
Koen has watched over Kael and Kali for the last few months. He has tried to get the tiefling to follow a more respectable (Good) path and to keep the paladin from stepping in over his head. He has pulled Kali out of a few scrapes when her less than legal activities have backfired. He was the one that kept an overzealous Kael from putting an arrow in Colo’s chest when they first met.
Koen, Kali, Zurg, and Kaelestis sit silently staring at each other as Eladra spins around their table. As Zurg begins to speak, Eladra cuts him off, “There finally here.”
Enter Colo and Voadam. The druid is doing his best to explain the world and more specifically Cauldron and the kidnappings to the reborn wizard. Introductions are made.
Any suggestions / alterations to my “group” backgrounds are welcome.

I’m not a Drow, damn it.
Koen has watched over Kael and Kali for the last few months. He has tried to get the tiefling to follow a more respectable (Good) path and to keep the paladin from stepping in over his head. He has pulled Kali out of a few scrapes when her less than legal activities have backfired. He was the one that kept an overzealous Kael from putting an arrow in Colo’s chest when they first met.
My logic here is that Drow are known as vicious slavers. Instinct and logic clashed; Kael didn’t want to take any chances.
