Elvombor Isebring's page

Elvom began the life of a sellbow; a mercenary who sold his prowess
with a bow to mercenary companies who needed ranged support. He
hired on with Holgrath's Company; a band of mercenaries run by a
shrewd dwarven warrior. Holgrath had a contract with a merchant
cartel to run trade caravans along a route and protect those
caravans from bandits and other raiders.

One day, Holgrath indicated that the company was going to abandon
the caravan they were guarding. The entire story was never clear to
Elvom; a contract dispute of some kind led Holgrath to pull his men
off the job. Elvom argued that they should see the caravan to the
next town, that they might acquire new protection. Holgrath told
Elvom that he was welcome to continuing guarding the caravan, but
that he would do so alone.

Two hours later, the caravan was attacked by a group of bandits, and
Elvom was largely responsible for repelling the attack. His actions
spared the lives of most of the people in the caravan, along with the
wealth contained within it. After arrival in the next town, the
merchants arranged new protection for the caravan and summoned Elvom
for an audience.

Elvom was given a bonus of 100pp; it was the sum of the disputed
amount between Holgrath and the merchants, plus a token of thanks for
saving the personell (and especially the wealth) of the caravan. The
merchants offered Elvom an interest-free loan to begin a mercenary
guard company called Isebring's Arrows.

Elvom accepted the bonus, but politely declined the offer. In his
experience such "interest-free" loans were never free. He decided to
take the money that he had saved thus far and renew his search for
answers; with Kumo as his travelling companion.

Elvombor Isebring (Elvom) was born Galithraril Lómadriethien
(Galith).

He began the study of magic under a kindly old elven wizard by the
name of Sebrindel Celand. Galith's interest was in knowledge, and so
leaned toward the school of Divination. He spent long hours cleaning
the lab and tormented by the antics of Sebrindel's familiar; a small
and completely black house-cat named Kumo.

After learning how to cast his first spells of the first circle, he
had grown to trust Sebrindel. He brought the amulet to Sebrindel, in
order that the old wizard might help him discover the nature of the
device. Sebrindel copied a magical sketch of the amulet and began
to research it.

The next day as Galith was cleaning the lab, Kumo seemed extremely
agitated. Galith went to calm the cat who started to run away.
Thinking Kumo might be injured, Galith followed. It was then the
fireball destroyed the lab and Sebrindel. The explosion threw Galith
and Kumo into the nearby woods. Galith suffered terrible injuries
and Kumo lost his right ear.

Galith would not have survived but for the kindness of a wandering
stranger. Galith knows that it was a halfling cleric who healed him,
but never received her name. (In truth, he received her name several
times, but was too delirious to remember. After the 7th time Galith
asked, the cleric gave him some herbs to allow him to sleep.)

Galith knew that the timing of showing Sebrindel the amulet and
the destruction of the lab was too much to be coincidence. He and
Kumo tentatively scouted the remains of the lab, but found only
cinders. Galith thought it best to allow whoever had done this to
think that he too had perished in the blast. So he adopted two things
that day: the name Elvombor Isebring, and Kumo; as his familiar.

Elvom continued Galith's search for answers, with new questions:
What was this amulet? Who wanted it so badly that they killed his
master in an attempt to obtain it? Elvom took a small belt pouch
and crafted within it thin sheets of lead to disguise the magical
aura of items within the pouch. The amulet went into this so that
it would not be easily discovered.

Anadriewyn Gynd (Anadrie) is the one true love of his young elven life.
Although not married, the two were inseparable for decades. One day
Galith found Anadrie in a comatose state clutching an amulet. Unable
to rouse her, he secreted the amulet away and began to search for
answers .. What caused Anadrie's condition? How can it be reversed?

Elvom is Neutral Good.

Elvom believes in an absolute good and evil;
that some choices are inherently evil and must not be made,
and that some choices are inherently good and that he has
a duty to choose these good actions when possible.

Unlike a Lawful Good character, Elvom has no desire to set up
a system to promote his personal concept of good to others. Moral
understanding is shared and traded; it is not encoded in laws,
forced upon others, or twisted by the letter of the rules when
it goes against the spirit of the rules.

Unlike a Chaotic Good character, Elvom feels that he must honor
his word if given and duty if accepted. This honor does not stem
from conformity to a contract, but rather that to do otherwise
would be deceitful, and good cannot co-exist with deception.

You can always act in the surprise round even if you fail to make a Perception roll to notice a foe, but you are still considered flat-footed until you take an action.

You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Kumo is a completely black house cat of normal size with soft blue eyes. He is missing his right ear, but his fur has overgrown the scar.

Kumo is overly curious, even for a cat. He will attempt to open doors or lids, and if successful, explore whatever is inside. He isn't destructive and won't chew/claw through ropes keeping things tied shut or knock things on the floor to open them, but anything that he can paw open is fair game.
