History / Back-Story

Created: Feb 2024 by Kelly Berger for campaign GM: Ben Persinger
World: Faerun/Forgotten Realms – begin in Neverwinter and greater area
Campaign Changes: Sanity; Int+ = skills or language; item resilience; Use the rule of averages (average/full/crit) from Incarna

Background: Sailor
Personality: My friends and family know they can rely on me, no matter what.
Ideal: Fairness. We all do the work, so we all share in the rewards. (Lawful)
Bond: Ruthless pirates murdered my captain and crewmates, plundered our ship, and left me and my brother to die. Vengeance will be mine.
> I write the family every month with a record of me and brother
Flaw: I follow orders, even if I think they’re wrong.

Guillermo grew up in Luskan, the 2nd eldest of 4 siblings (2 Brothers/1 sister). His father and family were sailing merchants that took ore from mines that came from The Spine of the World and sold the refined metals and coal down the sword coast. He grew up on boats and was a sailor for his family by trade. The instability of the frontier and politics of trade made him seek out order in his own life. He had recurring visions of a dragon, a lion, and 2 human hands that would push aside the dangers in shadows that tried to strike them. He entered the priesthood of Tyr at 13, traveling to Neverwinter where there was a shrine and he could pledge himself and begin his journey into the clergy. He grew up in the tutelage of Harold Giant-Bane. Harold took the word of Tyr into the north, and eventually settled after a horrible wound left him lame in one leg. He became the primary teacher of a new generation of the priesthood. After completing his training, he returned to his family and continued to sail with them, offering his powers against pirates and raiders.

For 3 years he and his youngest brother worked off the debt to their family. During that time, they became known as foes of pirates, both off and on the sea. Twice they were forced to abandon ship in the wake of overwhelming pirate attacks slaughtering the crew and near died until they were rescued. They both took harbor in Neverwinter, and sought their fortunes there in a place with more opportunity.

Brother Story: The pirates that slaughtered your crew were led by a Werewolf. He infected {Rocky’s character}, and he is now a lycanthrope. Your blessings hold his curse in check, but he can occasionally transform in combat and may sometimes be forced into changing by circumstances. You must both try to keep this a secret, or risk being hunted.

Guillermo is ashamed by his brother Brown, and seeks to rid him of his affliction. The change of Lycanthropy is anathema to his idea of order and stability. He actively seeks to rid his brother of the curse, and knows that some day he may have to make a decision if he inflicts his lycanthropy on others or it becomes public knowledge, he will have to disavow (and maybe kill) him. He does not wish to go against his chosen faith and principles or he may risk transgression against his faith. Kezef the Chaos Hound (that took Tyrs’ hand) is a close symbol to the werewolf his brother becomes and his faith demands he not ignore such a thing. He sees his brother as his own test, and the symbolism of cutting off his hand as having to kill his brother if his test is failed. He will take ANY chance to cure him, no matter how dangerous.

Ogre – we choose to kill! butcher meat
Going through woods on day 2… Arthur secretly takes the group past worg riders and orcs
-1 day ration; warm camp; ratings attack (rainbow lightning shit = spell scared)
-2 days rations/travel 2 days; orcs come to talk and say they were hired to get priest and bring him back to old watch tower in Neverwinter. We don’t treat with them, we attack them (I lead them with my phrase!); find the letter ordering them to capture Father Morgan, path expected, appearance; signed “Bartlett”

Nolan, the clan leader comes out and says “clan must fight”
– I cast Command once to balance out their cheating; I’m held, game ends.
Nolan says we cheated, I say he cheated first. 25% of Leonine are on my side. They heal vindaloo, I heal Nolan and tell him its not personal, just balanced – my perspective.
He accepts us and our gods and says we can help them!
Vindaloo asks about wrestling, then charges him and tackles! Nolan waves off guards as he is tackled!
FEAST! Tyr prayer, restock healer kit
Want to make peace with the local “many arrows” orc tribe, been there 200 years.
Needs PC help. Find an artifact valuable to the orcs. there will be Undead

I got a bad feeling about this. San check each night or 1 level exhaust = master blaster fails night 1
Spookier, darker, oppressive.
Undead bugbear attacks us
