The following are 3 towns folk proposed by myself, two of whom are tied into Shayla's backstory. Nancy "Mama" Ravenbrook (Human {Tiefling}, Farmer's Wife) Wife of Berik Ravenbrook, Nancy plays the part of the doting farmer's spouse well. She bakes cookies and pies, fusses over children, and gossips endlessly with the other ladies. She looks human, mostly, except for the two curling ram-like horns growing from her forehead, and the purplish cast of her skin. She has a venomously sharp wit, and is able to slide subtle insults rather easily into her conversations. More than one false rumor has also, allegedly, been started by her. She was known to have a long time rivalry with Shayla's mother, Yesebel. The rivalry seemed to be born of a deep festering resentment after Shayla's father, Arnulf, turned down Nancy's own advances. Berik "Papa" Ravenbrook (Human {half-elf}, Farmer and Landlord) Berik is a sturdily built man, standing at a tall six feet with shoulder broad enough to make some wonder if he isn't half Verbeeg instead of half elf. He's an exceptionally skilled farmer, but he is mostly known as being a greedy landlord to the peasants who rent some of his land. He is brutal and unforgiving, sometimes even capricious and simply mean-spirited. He almost seems to delight in seeing his renters squirm to try and pay up what they owe. While his renters complain there's little they can do against him. While what he does is certainly cruel, none of it is illegal--as the landlord, he's free to charge whatever rents he wants so long as he pays his taxes--but some grumble that it's only a matter of time before a Paladin errant might finally hear their cries for mercy and justice. Weedo Vistink (Kobold {Dragonscaled}, Veteran Musketeer) While most Kobolds remain dedicated to Tiamat or Kurtulmak, the Vistink clan were just built different. Instead, they worshipped Gond. Life in Lantan was very difficult for the kobold clan despite their devotion to the crafting god due to the fact that Gnomes hate Kobolds as much as Dwarves hate Orcs, and the Lantanese gnomes were no different. As such, when Weedo became an adult, he went wandering to find the other great temples of Gond. Armed with his trusty musket, he fought in many wars and skirmishes to pay his way to Baldur's Gate, where he has planned for some time to try and visit the High House of Wonders. However, this has proven difficult as Baldur's Gate is about as open to Kobolds as Lantan was. Weedo is at an awkward age by Kobold reckoning. Kobolds mature quickly, reaching adulthood before 10 years of age, so in that sense he's been an adult for some time. Kobold society is also naturally violent, and few Kobolds live much past their 30s. However, at nearly 40, Weedo has lived well past this. Yet, it is known that particularly clever Kobolds can live as long as 135 years, so he has aged little despite being practically wizened by the standards of his kind. He suspects he'll live a long time yet. Weedo is tall for a kobold, at nearly 4 feet in height, with brilliant ruby and ocre scales patched across his body, counter shaded to a pale beige under his chin and down his chest and belly. He only has one eye, having lost the other in a skirmish near Elturgard against a band of marauding goblinoids, and his voice is grating and high-pitched. Nonetheless, he is clever and charming, even by kobold standards, and positively gallant in most respects. He is driven by a strict code of conduct that he holds to with a fervent devotion that almost rivals his devotion to Gond, such that most people in town have even stopped accusing him of stealing every small item that goes missing.

Ogbon Appearance Height: 6' 5" Weight: 210 lbs Build: Athletic Eyes: Brown Hair: Shaved, but black and curly Attire: Suit, no tie Personality Ogbon is a Talon first, Herald second and in these capacities he has seen many of the worst sides of the magical world. He is serious and task focused, not given to small talk or idle speculation. History Ogbon has been active in New York for a couple of decades now, and carries himself like a native of the city. Due to his capacity as a Herald he is well known to the satellite concillium's outside of New York. He has a long history of interactions with the various supernaturals of the city, keeping things under control and under the radar of the Sleepers. It is reported that he has a large web of mundane and magical contacts and that he is a "power behind the throne" of many key politicians in the Bronx.

He can utilize it in spellcasting for a burst of power, as well as to extend a spell’s Duration using runes. If your mage begins play as a member of an order, he learns this Merit at no cost. If he is not a member of an order, he must purchase this Merit using his initial Merit dots or with experience points (assuming there is someone who can teach it to him). High Speech can be spoken and comprehended only by the Awakened. Sleepers’ minds cannot process it. They might hear an Atlantean phrase as a series of nonsense words, or even silence (the speaker’s mouth moves but no sound comes out). Particularly willful Sleepers might catch bits of it, but even then it might sound like a tape played too slow with the bass turned way up. AloofYour character is uncomfortable in social settings and avoids crowds and interaction as much as possible. She dislikes being the center of attention and recoils from center stage. Experience is gained when she avoids attention or social environments and misses out on potential rewards as a result. Maybe she doesn’t get the job that she “deserves,” because the boss is looking for a people-person rather than a hard worker Danger SenseYou gain a +2 modifier on reflexive Wits + Composure rolls for your character to detect an impending ambush. This kind of roll is typically made prior to the first turn of a surprise attack. Your character has a well-developed survival instinct that warns him of impending danger. Perhaps he’s adept at reading subtle clues in his environment or he possesses an uncanny “sixth sense” when it comes to avoiding trouble. Fighting Style: Muy ThaiPrerequisites: Strength ••, Dexterity ••, Stamina •• and Brawl •• Effect: Your character is trained in Muy Thai, conditioning his mind and body for the purposes of focus and self-defense. He may have begun his training at an early age, following in the footsteps of family or friends, or he may have joined a school as an adult for the purposes of exercise or protection. Dots purchased in this Merit allow access to special combat maneuvers. Each maneuver is a prerequisite for the next. So, your character can’t have “Iron Skin” until he has “Focused Attack.” The maneuvers and their effects are listed below, most of which are based on the Brawl Skill. Focused Attack (•): Physical conditioning and accuracy allow your character to deliver blows at vulnerable spots on targets. Penalties to hit specific targets are reduced by one. See “Specified Targets,” p. 165. Even when a specific part of an opponent is not targeted, armor penalties to your character’s Brawl attacks are reduced by one. Iron Skin (••): Your character has hardened his body to physical blows, allowing him to withstand repeated hits with minimal effect. He has an effective armor trait of 1 against bashing attacks only. Defensive Attack (•••): Your character has mastered the ability to fight defensively. When using this maneuver, your character gains +2 to his Defense for the turn, but any attack he makes suffers a -2 penalty. He can move no more than his Speed while performing a Defense Attack maneuver in a turn. (●●●) Consilium StatusMuch Deserved reputation; Herald A combination of gossip, historian and ambassador, a Herald represents the Consilium in foreign territory and records events. Traditionally, Heralds see themselves as being above Consilium politics, and the political wrangling around appointees often ensures this. Consilii need to present a united front before other supernatural factions. Betraying division or weakness isn’t in anyone’s interest. On the other hand, Heralds are the people who are best suited to act as spies and double agents. They habitually collect news about local affairs and have the ear of the ruling. council. A treacherous Herald can inflict a great deal of damage as a prelude to attack. In addition, Heralds transmit news and rumors. This allows you to hint at upcoming events, introduce new plots and toss in the odd red herring to test the cabal’s commitment to a quest. (●●●) Adamantine Arrow Status (●●●) LanguageYour character knows an additional language besides his own, one that he can read, write and speak with fluency. if he wishes to convince others that he is a native speaker, however, the storyteller might call for an Intelligence + Expression roll, contested with a reflexive Intelligence + Academics roll by anyone who is suspicious.(Swahili) Other Traits Size: 5 Defense: 3 Initiative Mod: 5 Speed: 11 Health: 7/7 Willpower: 4 Mana: 8/8 (3/turn) Wisdom: 8 Arcana GNOSIS 3 Death ○○○○○ Mind ○○○○○ Fate ●●●○○ Prime ●○○○○ Forces ○○○○○ Space ○○○○○ Life ○○○○○ Spirit ●●○○○ Matter ○○○○○ Time ●●○○○ Rotes Fate: Blessing of the Gods, Lucky Coin, Ley Lines (Prime 3), Ley Shift (Prime 3) Space: Scrying (Space 2)

For 1 minute per level of the spell slot you expend, you can sense whether the following types of creatures are present within 1 mile of you (or within up to 6 miles if you are in your favored terrain): aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. This feature doesn’t reveal the creatures’ location or number. Ranger abilities Favored Foe (Optional) (4 marks / long rest) This 1st-level feature replaces the Favored Enemy feature and works with the Foe Slayer feature. You gain no benefit from the replaced feature and don't qualify for anything in the game that requires it. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can call on your mystical bond with nature to mark the target as your favored enemy for 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). The first time on each of your turns that you hit the favored enemy and deal damage to it, including when you mark it, you increase that damage by 1d6. You can use this feature to mark a favored enemy a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. This feature's extra damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d6 at 6th level and to 1d8 at 14th level. Land's Stride Starting at 8th level, moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard. In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such as those created by the Entangle spell. Nature's Veil (Optional) (4/ long rest) This 10th-level feature replaces the Hide in Plain Sight feature. You gain no benefit from the replaced feature and don't qualify for anything in the game that requires it. You draw on the powers of nature to hide yourself from view briefly. As a bonus action, you can magically become invisible, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, until the start of your next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Combat tactics Monster Slayer conclave Hunter's Sense (4/long rest) As an action, you gain the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern how best to hurt it. Choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities. Slayer's Mark As a bonus action, you can add a mark to be the target of Slayer's Prey within 60' Slayer's Prey (1/ rest) Once per turn, when you make a weapon attack roll against a 'marked' creature, you can focus your ire on one foe, increasing the harm you inflict on it. As a bonus action, you designate one creature you can see within 60 feet of you as the target of this feature. The first time each turn that you hit that target with a weapon attack, it takes an extra 1d6 damage from the weapon. This benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest. It ends early if you designate a different creature. Supernatural Defense At 7th level, you gain extra resilience against your prey’s assaults on your mind and body. Whenever the target of your Slayer’s Prey forces you to make a saving throw and whenever you make an ability check to escape that target's grapple, add 1d6 to your roll. melee - extra attack Greataxe, frostband +3 (1d12+3) Resistance to fire, attack add's 1d6 cold damage o p t i o n s - Favored foe (1 min con.) +1d6 dam - hunter's mark (bonus) +1d6 dam, added to hunter's marked foe. - slayers prey (part of action) +1d6 dam, added to slayer's mark foe *A creature blinded by this spell makes another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, it is no longer blinded. Updating statblock details the story so far...
