View Larger Here’s Drynin the bard and charlatan from the monday night game that I run. A true con artist, now on the run…
His recent long con (pretending to be nobility and marrying into an important drow house) went belly up as his co-conspiritors hung this newly-wed out to dry and he ended up being sold into slavery.
Spoilers ahead for Out of the Abyss:
More recently he had been forming a friendship with a dark gnome called Topsy (a member of the group he has escaped captivity with) and consoling her over the death of her brother Turvey. She asked him the favour of watching out while she went out alone at night. Unfortunately the rest of the group were started by noises coming out of the dark and went in search of her once they realised she was missing.
They discovered a rat monster and fearing for topsy killed it, with Drynin delivering the final blow with vicious mockery… and with those terrible words hanging in the air, the corpse began to shift back into the crumpled form of his friend Topsy…..
