Backstory

Found myself dazed and confused under a tree in Insight Park (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Insight_Park), with no memory of who I was or how I got there. Had a big bump on the back of my head. I was fairly well dressed (not super posh), but had no identifying items on me.

The city authorities had no idea who I was, and after a short time staying in a hostel for the poor I was officially made homeless on the streets. This is where I met another halfling Nia who took me under her wing. She’s very positive and upbeat and introduced me to Tymora, goddess of good fortune.

We became good friends and managed fairly well on the streets, until she was arrested for stealing blankets from behind a shop that she thought had been thrown out, but actually were destined as a donation for a local shelter. (Oh the irony). She was sentenced to a period in jail because we had previously been caught scrumping for food.

There was nothing I could do to persuade them to let her go, and risked being thrown in jail myself.

I’m currently down and dejected and rather lonely having lost my best friend. Maybe now would be the time to put some faith in my God and try and find out some more stuff about who I am, or at the very least avoid getting arrested again like Nia.

Allies & Allegiances

Homeless halfling best friend Nia who found me dazed and confused in the park. Took me under her wing.

Personality Traits

I hide scraps of food and trinkets away in my pockets. I ask a lot of (not always helpful) questions.

Ideals

Respect. All people, rich or poor, deserve respect. (Good)

Bonds

I owe my wellbeing to my halfling best friend Nia who took me under her wing on the streets.

Flaws

I am a bit too impulsive trusting my gut rather than fully thinking things through.

Journal

(Time of flowers)

• Attended Bonnie’s funeral service
• Bonnie had more friends an acquaintances than I even thought they would have - was quite surprised
• Felt self-conscious and out of place at the funeral with so many refined people - quietly said a few words to myself and paid my respects
• Approached by Remalia Haventree (elf leader of the “Harpers”) and Lady Syndra Silvane (human mage) who said we could bring Bonnie back from the dead if we help capture an evil litch’s phylactery (a tome bound in human skin)
• Lady Syndra Silvane has a horrible blight that will kill you forever if you have been resurrected — it makes you waste away — it’s because of the evil litch’s phylactery thingie
• I’m sure Lady Syndra Silvane if going to give me her blight — don’t want to go anywhere near her — I’m not going to trust anybody fully who won’t even show their face properly — she gave me the creeps a little bit
• Lady Syndra Silvane will pay me and 3 other mourners a boat-load of gold if we help get this phylactery by storming a mountain fortress basement with Remalia Haventree
• These three other mourners look a bit weird ass too me, but who am I to stand in the way of a nice pay day? Maybe I can get Nia out of jail and live in some comfort for a while?!
• Asked Lady Syndra Silvane for some holy water and fiery or phosphorescent moss to help on our mission — her trusted Harper “Kalbarax”(?) will have some waiting for me at the docks tomorrow if we go
• Decided to follow the other 3 back into the city — they got pissed up in the tavern, but I didn’t feel like going in — I don’t belong there, nothing has changed .. and I don’t have Bonnie in there anymore — I feel more alone now than ever before
• Slept on street behind the tavern like any other

• Met the other 3 at the docks early in the morning
• The dwarf that sings a lot looked like absolute shit — really hung over — the big human Palladian chap (my gosh he seems confident) gave them porridge, but I tried a little bit of healing that Nia had taught me — it didn’t seem to help at all though :-( let this be a lesson not to drink so much!
• “Kallbarax” is a Halfling! Why do humans and elves seems to assume that all halflings know each other though?
• Starting to realise the depth of the situation I think I might have just gotten myself into — money isn’t that important — what a fool I am, and I still don’t really know who these strangers are. I can’t even remember their names!!! I’m going to die with strangers and never see Nia again
