Havrin Stahl's page

Havrin Stahl is a VERY distant (but legitimate!) relation to the Medvyed noble family of eastern Brevoy (his mother was a Medvyed, and his father was a forester and trader). Growing up far removed from the House seat of Stoneclimb, Havrin spent nearly his entire life under the sheltering boughs of the Gronzi Forest, which led to his deep respect for the wilderness and the creatures that dwell within.

Six months ago, Havrin’s father, Harther Stahl, disappeared while leading a trade caravan from Restov through the Stolen Lands to the River Kingdoms. Only last month, word filtered back to Havrin that a lone, grievously-wounded survivor from the caravan was found by a wandering priest of Erastil. Before the man died of his wounds, he stated that the caravan had been waylaid by bandits in the Stolen Lands, and that the caravan leader had been captured by the bandits, wounded but alive.

Havrin traveled to Restov in hopes of tracking down more information about his father’s disappearance in the Stolen Lands. He views the offer of a charter from the Swordlords granting the right to explore the southern wilderness as a fortunate coincidence. He hopes to discover leads that will allow him to rescue his father if he is still alive, or to extract vengeance on the bandits of the region if his father is dead.

Tricks
- Attack: The animal attacks apparent enemies. You may point to a particular creature that you wish the animal to attack, and it will comply if able. Normally, an animal will attack only humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, or other animals.
- Come: The animal comes to you, even if it normally would not do so.
- Defend: The animal defends you (or is ready to defend you if no threat is present), even without any command being given. Alternatively, you can command the animal to defend a specific other character.
- Down: The animal breaks off from combat or otherwise backs down. An animal that doesn’t know this trick continues to fight until it must flee (due to injury, a fear effect, or the like) or its opponent is defeated.
- Guard: The animal stays in place and prevents others from approaching.
- Heel: The animal follows you closely, even to places where it normally wouldn’t go.
