THEMES

Horror - Mystery - Combat - Investigation

A man arrives in the Spire, pleading help. Whispers of a woman murdered and a monster responsible still wandering the darkened woods outside of town. Help him. Save his wife, if she yet lives. He's a bit shifty. Can he be trusted?

A man who calls himself Tobias has stumbled into town, soaked in what seems to be his own blood, his eyes wild and filled with fear. He asks for help - his wife was separated from him the woods outside of town, and he claims he was attacked by a monster he describes as nothing more than a haunted shadow. Each word he speaks trembles - with terror, or something else? He seeks a group to find out what's happened to his wife and, if possible, rid the creature that attacked him from the world.

Meant to be at least two or three interconnected events.

ign: catmerization
char name: Perila (Odera)

Relevant skills: Duelist, riposte, quickfooted. She's also a mage with spells such as portent, starlight, and the cantrips emotion bridge and thermal touch. She's versatile!

IGN: BmZuzu
Character Name: Sun
Why: Sun is a Fireborne Greatling that has made the long trek South believing all the mysteries with the Aedall and spire hint at an 'encroaching darkness' and hopes to be at least one bearer of Light to help hold it at bay. So he would keenly take interest in the mention of a monster in the form of a 'haunted shadow' and want to aid.

IGN: Hyscope

Name: Hawthorn

Why? Sometimes, it's just what you gotta do.

Skill in the bow, skill in the hunt. Remarkably sturdy, despite the diminutive stature. Has hunted her fair share of monsters--nigh exclusively necrophages. Knows the wilds well, and the soil better. By shovel and spear the path will be clear. (Recurve bow, +1 to nature, high fortitude, undead slayer, has a shovel [arming sword], has a spear.)
