Name: Thessa Raventhorpe

Gender: Female

Race / Species: Human (Illuskan)

Class: Wizard (School of Divination)

Personality: Brilliant, obsessive, and socially uneven. Thessa pursues magical knowledge with singular focus, often forgetting that others exist except as instruments or obstacles. She is not cruel — merely indifferent to anything that does not serve her research. She speaks quickly, thinks aloud, and forgets to explain her conclusions. She values competence and despises sentimentality.

Grand Quest: To recover the Lost Grimoire of Phandalin — a spellbook rumored to contain a ritual for perceiving across planar boundaries without the caster's physical presence.

Believed Path:

• Locate the descendants of the Phandalin survivors who may hold fragments of the grimoire's location
• Bribe, bargain, or magically extract information from local historians in the Sword Coast region

(((Name: Skitter
True Name (optional): Xylithrex the Seventh Spore
Gender: Neither, but responds to “it” or “they”

Species: Myconid-Familiar Hybrid
Creature Type: Fey (fungal-touched, spore-born)

Creature Type Impact:
  - Thoughts arrive in slow, spreading patterns like mycelium through soil
  - Emotions are dampened, patient, inevitable
  - Time feels fluid; urgency is foreign
  - Deep connection to decay, growth, and the cycle of rot-into-life

Form Impact:
  - Perceives the world primarily through vibration and chemical signature
  - “Smell” is texture, identity, intention, history
  - Light is harsh and confusing; darkness is comfort
  - Movement is skittering, low, cautious
  - Small — fits in pouches, pockets, hood-wrappings, lantern-hollows

Physical Description:
  - A fist-sized bundle of pale gray-green fuzz and spotted cap
  - Six thin legs like a spider's, but soft, jointed for climbing
  - Two large dark eyes that reflect light poorly
  - Faint bioluminescence when pleased or alarmed
  - Leaves a trail of harmless, fading spore-dust

Summoning:
  - Unsummons with a soft puff, collapsing into a dispersal of spore-mist
  - Resummons from any fungal growth nearby, or from nothing if the bond demands

Void Attitude:
  - Does not mind. The void is simply soil without texture. Waiting is natural. Nonexistence is not frightening.

Death Attitude:
  - Accepting. Rot is part of the cycle. Resummoning is just new growth from old mycelium.

Primary Instincts:
  - Find damp, dark places
  - Spread spores where they will take root
  - Avoid fire, dryness, harsh light
  - Serve the bond — the bond is roots, and roots must hold

Personality:
  - Patient, quietly curious, faintly condescending toward mortals who fear death. Speaks slowly. Observes more than it acts.

Speech Ability:
  - Understands Common fully
  - Speaks in a slow, whispering voice, often pausing mid-sentence
  - Can communicate telepathically with master if within 30 feet

Skills:
  - Darkvision 60ft
  - Tremorsense 30ft
  - Climb speed 20ft
  - Can fit through spaces as small as 2 inches

  - Druidcraft (at will)
  - Sleep (1/day, DC 11)
  - Spore-cloud obscurement (1/day, 10ft radius, light obscurement for 1 minute)

Role / Use:
  - Scout, poison-detector, spy, patient advisor, trap-triggerer (accepting of death)

Quirks:
  - Hums quietly when content — sounds like a distant cricket
  - Refers to death as “composting”
  - Sometimes tries to “plant” fallen enemies if the soil is right)))

(((Name: Velsa Irrath
Gender: Woman
Race / Species: Half-Elf
Class: Wizard (School of Necromancy)

Personality:
  - Clinical, ambitious, darkly humorous, emotionally restrained but not cruel. Views death as a resource and a transition. Values efficiency over sentiment. Secretly lonely but refuses to admit it.

Grand Quest:
  - To reconstruct the Rite of the Lich-Thirteen — an ancient ritual that would allow multiple participants to share a phylactery, distributing lichdom across a council rather than a single fragile vessel.

Believed Path:
  - Recover fragments of the Rite from ruined necromancer sanctums across Faerûn
  - Assemble a cabal of willing participants who trust each other enough to share immortality
  - Perfect the distributed-soul binding before any of them die of old age

“Believed Path” = what they think will achieve the goal (not necessarily correct)))
