CAMPAIGN TRAITS
====================
Artifact Hunter (Campaign): You’ve always had an interest in magic, but you’re fascinated with those legendary magic items known as artifacts. You’ve spent years researching these mythical relics and committed the stories and legends about them to memory, making you something of an expert on the subject. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Spellcraft checks to identify the properties of magic items and a +1 trait bonus on Use Magic Device checks, and one of these skills (your choice) becomes a class skill for you. In addition, whenever you first encounter an artifact, there is a 50% chance (+1% per level) that you recognize the artifact and know its name, origin, and something of that artifact’s powers, abilities, or dangers. Exactly how much knowledge you possess is left to the GM’s discretion.

Magic Crafter (Magic): Your early magical training involved study of the properties and creation of magic items. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Appraise checks and a +1 bonus on any Craft checks attempted while making magic items.

Seeker (Social): You are always on the lookout for reward and danger. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks, and Perception is always a class skill for you.

====================
SPECIAL ABILITIES
====================
Spellbooks: An arcanist must study her spellbook each day to prepare her spells. She can’t prepare any spell not recorded in her spellbook, except for read magic (which all arcanists can prepare from memory).

An arcanist begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard/sorcerer spells plus three 1st-level spells of her choice. The arcanist also selects a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to her Intelligence modifier to add to the spellbook. At each new arcanist level, she gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast (based on her new arcanist level) for her spellbook. At any time, an arcanist can also add spells found in wizards' or other arcanists' spellbooks to her own (see Arcane Magic Writings).

Arcane Reservoir (Su): An arcanist has an innate pool of magical energy that she can draw upon to fuel her arcanist exploits and enhance her spells. The arcanist’s arcane reservoir can hold a maximum amount of magical energy equal to 3 + the arcanist’s level. Each day, when preparing spells, the arcanist’s arcane reservoir fills with raw magical energy, gaining a number of points equal to 3 + 1/2 her arcanist level. Any points she had from the previous day are lost. She can also regain these points through the consume spells class feature and some arcanist exploits. The arcane reservoir can never hold more points than the maximum amount noted above; points gained in excess of this total are lost.

Points from the arcanist reservoir are used to fuel many of the arcanist’s powers. In addition, the arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir as a free action whenever she casts an arcanist spell. If she does, she can choose to increase the caster level by 1 or increase the spell’s DC by 1. She can expend no more than 1 point from her reservoir on a given spell in this way.

Resevoir Points: 4

Arcanist Exploits: By bending and sometimes even breaking the rules of magic, the arcanist learns to exploit gaps and exceptions in the laws of magic. Some of these exploits allow her to break down various forms of magic, adding their essence to her arcane reservoir. At 1st level and every 2 levels thereafter, the arcanist learns a new arcane exploit selected from the following list. An arcanist exploit cannot be selected more than once. Once an arcanist exploit has been selected, it cannot be changed. Most arcanist exploits require the arcanist to expend points from her arcane reservoir to function. Unless otherwise noted, the saving throw DC for an arcanist exploit is equal to 10 + 1/2 the arcanist’s level + the arcanist’s Charisma modifier.

Potent magic (Su, 1st level): Whenever the arcanist expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase the caster level of a spell, the caster level increases by 2 instead of 1. Whenever she expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase the spell’s DC, it increases by 2 instead of 1.

Cantrips: Arcanists can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day as noted on Table 1–2. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume spell slots. As with her other spells, these spells are not expended when cast.

Consume Spells (Su): At 1st level, an arcanist can expend an available arcanist spell slot as a move action, making it unavailable for the rest of the day, just as if she had used it to cast a spell. She can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Doing this adds a number of points to her arcane reservoir equal to the level of the spell slot consumed. She cannot consume cantrips (0 level spells) in this way. Points gained in excess of the reservoir’s maximum are lost.

Yssani hails from the city of Skelt in Nirmathas. Born into the warrens with her extended family, the ratfolk of Skelt were industrious workers who took on mining jobs squeezing into the gaps their dwarven coworkers couldn't and picking through refined ore to salvage errant gems that would otherwise be destroyed.

Yssani was the middle child of eleven, but unlike most of her siblings, she had a greater curiousity about the world and would often wander into the market square when the trade caravans stopped through town. It was here she made friends with an older Varisian sorceress named Izelda who in a pique of amusement offered her a display of her magical prowess. Inspired to learn magic, Yssani would find Izelda every time she and her brethren came into town, offering trinkets she'd hoarded between visits for the opportunity to be taught.

Eventually Yssani's thirst for knowledge grew to desire more, seeking out other avenues of learning as she apprenticed under a local Taldan wizard named Lirnem that Izelda introduced to her. Lirnem was a stricter tutor, but Yssani learned more about spellcraft and the processes necessary for scribing scrolls and creating alchemical items. She was delighted by how her mind was being expanded to the wonders of arcana.

The warren at this point was getting overcrowded, her elder siblings having kids of their own and Yssani could see the writing on the wall. If she were to leave, she would need to make her own ratfolk community elsewhere. But to do that, she would need a fortune she couldn't make on her own in this city. But recalling the legends of rare artifacts she had seen in books at Lirnem's workshop, she decided that would be the best way to set herself up for life.

So, saying her goodbyes to family and her mentors, she took the next caravan north towards adventure, ending up in Trunau after a few weeks of travel and taking some time here to start to gather information on any potential prizes to be discovered. Yssani plans to get rich or die trying!

I am an experienced poster who generally can post once a day to every two days. I will communicate when I can't post or if I have concerns that can be easily resolved through civil discussion. I can point to prior GMs and players who can vouch for me as a player if needed.

I've also gotten into disagreements with some GMs--and left games as a result--over one of two issues:
1. I advocate for player agency; save for obvious circumstances (consented-to GM botting, mind control, GMs rolling Perception checks and making reasonable descriptions about PCs' place in a room, etc.), players should describe their own PCs' actions, feelings, and reactions, and others (GM or fellow player) should not write those things for them.
2. Given we are in a public global forum full of strangers, I do not wish my PCs to engage in scenarios involving flirtation, propositions, romance, affectionate or intimate touching, sex, abuse, or harassment. If someone *really* wants to go in that direction, I ask they speak to me first out of character before posting it IC.

If you think either of these things would be cause for concern in your campaign, please let me know not to apply.

Hispip Cobbleboot is a Phoenix Sorcerer. I love his concept, mixing fire and healing with his bloodline arcana. I will focus on fire and evocation spells, since giants are typically big and slow, which means lower Reflex saves and touch AC.

The bloodline powers will eventually give Hispip some flying ability, I hope that's not a problem with the AP.

He is starting with a Riding Dog which cost him 150gp, but mostly to carry his gear and help him with his smaller legs, but hey, he's combat trained, so there'll be some untrained Handle Animal checks for combat early on, especially since sorcerers are so weak early game.

Character sheet

Hispip Cobbleboot spent many years of his life happy with his family, traveling and selling the alchemical supplies they created. He never suspected he had magical blood running in his veins, except of course for the typical gnomish magic. He never even thought of settling down, thinking his life would continue on like that forever.

What proved him wrong was the most vicious thing that have ever happened. As they were traveling south of the Mindspin Mountains with a large caravan, Hispip was befriending a human family that was starting a circus, when the cry for ambush came from the middle caravan. Now, they felt very safe, given there were over 10 wagons in the caravan, and the security they had hired was expensive. However, half the guards fell in the first rock volley.

Rocks nearly the size of entire wagons were being thrown from the hills. As they realized it were giants attacking them, Hispip told the family of performers to hide under the wagon and went looking for his family. They were readying alchemical bombs to throw at the giants. His mother put up quite a fight, but she was hit on the side by a large club. Hispip himself was trapped by a wagon and couldn't move, so he had to watch it all happen. His family be slain, all the friends he had made being crushed by large hands, weapons and rocks.

He played dead and saw as the giants plundered the caravan. Their leader, who seemed to be a slightly more intelligent giant, ordered the others to burn whatever they didn't take. So, Hispip watched as his wandering home burn. The giants left while the fire was still starting. Ironically, the fire also dislodged the wood that was trapping him and he was able to free himself, but not before a large log hit him on the hip.

He didn't understand then how he survived the fire. It was only much time later, as he realized that it was at that moment that the phoenix blood awakened in him. It took him a while to realize that he had been reborn from the fire that day, not unlike a true phoenix. On top of his magical abilities appearing, he left the caravan with two other things: an uncanny ability to run for his life, and terrible scars on his legs.

Although Hispip eventually got over the loss of his family, his personality changed in an irreversible way. Gone was the happy playful gnomeling, replaced by a serious and dedicated sorcerer. He chose Trunau to resettle, maybe find friends and rebuild a life. As far as he could tell, it looked like he was able to make it.

Artifact Hunter (Spellcraft) +1 bonus on Spellcraft checks to identify the properties of magic items and on Use Magic Device checks, and one of these skills (your choice) becomes a class skill for you. In addition, whenever you first encounter an artifact, there is a 51% chance that you recognize the artifact and know its name, origin, and something of that artifact's powers, abilities, or dangers. Exactly how much knowledge you possess is left to the GM's discretion.

Daemon-Spawn (Grimspawn) Enthralled by death and appearing ill and malnourished even if healthy, these tieflings are tied to the daemons of Abaddon.

Fiendish Resistance Tieflings have cold resistance 5, electricity resistance 5, and fire resistance 5.

Fiendish Sorcery Tiefling sorcerers with the Abyssal or Infernal bloodlines treat their Charisma scores as 2 points higher for the purposes of all sorcerer class abilities.

Finesse Training (Ex) At 1st level, a rogue gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat. In addition, starting at 3rd level, she can select any one type of weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse (such as rapiers or daggers). Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. Whenever she makes a successful melee attack with the selected weapon, she adds her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength modifier to the damage roll. If any effect would prevent the rogue from adding her Strength modifier to the damage roll, she does not add her Dexterity modifier. The rogue can select a second weapon at 11th level and a third at 19th level.

Frontier-Forged (Any Frontier Area) A hard life on the edge of civilization has made you resourceful but has also given you a streak of self-preservation bordering on paranoia. You receive a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks and a +1 bonus on Survival checks made to get along in the wild.

Iron Liver You gain a +2 trait bonus on Fortitude saves against poison and drugs, and a +4 trait bonus on Fortitude saves to avoid the effects of alcohol.

Paranoid You believe that someone or something is always out to get you, so you have a hard time truly trusting anyone. Anyone who attempts an aid another action of any type to assist you must succeed at a DC 15 check instead of the normal DC 10 check.

Resistance to Cold (Ex) You may ignore 5 points of Cold damage each time you take cold damage.

Resistance to Electricity (Ex) You may ignore 5 points of Electricity damage each time you take electricity damage.

Resistance to Fire (Ex) You may ignore 5 points of Fire damage each time you take fire damage.

Skilled Grimspawn have a +2 racial bonus on Disable Device and Sleight of Hand checks.

Sneak Attack (Ex) If you can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from your attack, you can strike a vital spot for extra damage. Your attack deals 1d6 points of extra damage anytime your target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC, or when you flank your target. Should you score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet. With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage, you can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. You cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty. You must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. You cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.

Spell-Like Ability Grimspawn gain death knell as a spell-like ability.

Trapfinding (Ex) You add +1 to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks. You can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magical traps.

====================
BACKGROUND
====================

Lorcan O’dor is originally from the dwarven citadel, Kraggodan. His parents were thrill-seekers and spelunkers who would brave the tunnels into the Darklands, with each delve, challenging themselves to explore deeper than the last. When Lorcan came of age, at the age of 25, he joined his parents in the Darklands to participate in his first gladdringgar (the chiseling of name-runes in subterranean depths), a familial ritual that all members of the O’dor clan perform. All was going well; Lorcan reached the designated location and carved his name; however, along the return trip, his party was ambushed by a wandering band of cave giants. Both his parents were slain. They sacrificed their lives to buy Lorcan enough time to escape. Since that day, despite being a dwarf, the trauma runs strong and Lorcan has been hesitant to set foot underground again.

Lorcan remained in Kraggodan for a few more years, but the painful memories were ever-present and eventually he decided he needed to leave. He declared vengeance on all giant-kind, calling them a blight against all dwarves. And he swore he would train until he was strong enough to exact said vengeance. For the next 30 years, Lorcan wandered the Mindspin Mountains alone, relying on hits wits and endurance alone to survive.

After a while, he came across the small town of Trunau and began trading plants and wild game with the villagers for other supplies. He never intended to stay in one place, but something about the hearty humans kept him within the town’s orbit. As he continuing trading, he saw that these villagers were not unlike him and thought maybe it was time to finally settle down.

Lorcan spent the small inheritance he received from his parents on a tiny shop in Trunau to live in and work out of. He named his shop Green Haze and works as an herbalist. Although not much of a people person, his friendly demeanor has allowed him a acclimate himself among the other Trunauns. And although he has rarely encountered any giants as of late, his weapon remains sharpened and ready for the time when it will be needed.

Character sheet

Hispip Cobbleboot spent many years of his life happy with his family, traveling and selling the alchemical supplies they created. He never suspected he had magical blood running in his veins, except of course for the typical gnomish magic. He never even thought of settling down, thinking his life would continue on like that forever.

What proved him wrong was the most vicious thing that have ever happened. As they were traveling south of the Mindspin Mountains with a large caravan, Hispip was befriending a human family that was starting a circus, when the cry for ambush came from the middle caravan. Now, they felt very safe, given there were over 10 wagons in the caravan, and the security they had hired was expensive. However, half the guards fell in the first rock volley.

Rocks nearly the size of entire wagons were being thrown from the hills. As they realized it were giants attacking them, Hispip told the family of performers to hide under the wagon and went looking for his family. They were readying alchemical bombs to throw at the giants. His mother put up quite a fight, but she was hit on the side by a large club. Hispip himself was trapped by a wagon and couldn't move, so he had to watch it all happen. His family be slain, all the friends he had made being crushed by large hands, weapons and rocks.

Hispip played dead and saw as the giants plundered the caravan. He watched as his wandering home was crushed under rocks. Over time, Hispip very slowly managed to free himself. Although he was aware of the pain in his body, he didn't care, he ran.

Much time later, he realized it was at that moment that the deep earth blood awakened in him. He was comfortable near rock, and could even influence it, and move it from afar. On top of his magical abilities appearing, he left the caravan with two other things: an uncanny ability to run for his life, and terrible scars on his legs.

Although Hispip eventually got over the loss of his family, his personality changed in an irreversible way. Gone was the happy playful gnomeling, replaced by a serious and dedicated sorcerer. He chose Trunau to resettle, maybe find friends and rebuild a life. As far as he could tell, it looked like he was able to make it.

Favored Enemy (humanoid [giant]) (Ex): At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type.

Track (Ex): A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.

Wild Empathy (Ex): A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.

An orphan, Lilly haunted Trunau whenever she could escape the watchful gaze of her adopted mother. The folk of Trunau, tight-knit in anticipation of peril, looked more kindly on the Dhampir girl than some would. “Maybe your father was a noble man, travelling from afar.” That was Berry Garth, only one year older than Lilly and ever the naive idealist. Lilly didn’t explain why this couldn’t possibly be true, but she knew her friend would find out one day. The thought was dreadful

Agate, Lilly’s mother, was much more worldly. Before Lilly’s hopeknife ceremony, Agate sat her down for a difficult conversation. “I am not blind to what you do, child, when you think no one is watching. I have seen the drained animals, heard the things you whisper in your sleep. You are a monster, and while I love you anyway, others will not be as kind as me. So have a care, and do not grow too close to them, though they treat you well. They will be disappointed, if you do.” Lilly nodded to show that she understood. She was glad she had a safe place to call home

It took a long time for Lilly to see what kind of lie this was. After displaying magical talent, she was introduced to Agrit for training. The woman didn’t ask the same questions other people did. Lilly’s eyes, cabochon jets that drank light like a void, didn’t make her flinch. Agrit’s eyes, azure and sparkling seas of summer, held only an open curiosity. Lilly liked that. She felt bad for Roger, a younger boy who also came to Agrit for instruction in the arcane arts, because he wouldn’t go inside if he thought she was there. But she spent as much time in the House of Wonders as she could

Once grown enough, Lilly began to be sent on patrols. “We think that magic you’re learning might come in handy one day,” Captain Kurst explained, “if only you can learn the best ways to use it.” Some of Lilly’s new companions were suspicious, others glad to have a nascent sorceress at their side

Though Lilly asked that no one offer her magical healing, she was careful not to do anything unsettling, not under so many watchful eyes. Not until her patrol was worsted in a bad ambush. She watched one of the other survivors tell the story to Kurst. “It’s not that I don’t understand, you can see the scar on her face, how bad the cut was, and how fast it healed. But she drank from the body of my cousin. The pyre will no less set him free, yet still...” The man’s voice was strained with anger and grief. “So much of his blood dripping red down her chin, the hunger in her eyes when she looked up at me...some things a man never forgets.”

Lilly has not been sent out since. Most people still look on her the same way they did before, Kurst didn’t circulate the story widely, and it hasn’t been long enough for folk to gossip about why she hasn’t returned to the patrols. Lilly wonders if there will be some other way for her to contribute to the safety of her people. And if they will not let her, perhaps it is time she moves on. Her scar is a testament to her willingness to fight for them, and she keeps her hair tied loosely back so that it’s clearly visible. “A scar like that should not, as a rule, make one more beautiful,” Berry told her when she first saw it. Lilly laughed, a sound like bones rattling together. “My friend, I would have thought you’ve known me long enough by now to learn that some rules are made to be broken.”

Lilly is kind and compassionate, but not necessarily altruistic. She enjoys helping people and seeing them do well, but can also be selfish at times. Having lived a life with relatively few natural supports, she’s learned that she needs to take what she wants. While few would describe her as warm, she's generally positive for the lives of the people around her

Lilly would like to help the people of Trunau. She’s more familiar than anyone with the deep bedrock of evil in her own dark heart, but hopes to prove that there’s more than a little good in there as well. She also thinks that if she can prove herself a powerful ally, she’ll gain a level of acceptance she’s never had

Overwhelmed at times by dark desires, Lilly tries her best not to take overtly evil actions. She sometimes fails. She’s killed animals and drank their blood (as tasty raw as cooked), though not since she received her hopeknife. She got a boy to cut open his hand so she could taste his blood (fine, but he wouldn't stop crying). She dug up a grave once (entirely unsatisfying). After being ambushed, she drank from the fresh corpse of another Trunau native (indescribably exquisite). Part of her is as repulsed as her own mother. Most of her hopes desperately that she will one day again bend over a fresh corpse. Ideally a human, but an orc might do as well. She’ll take what she can get; one line she won’t yet cross is murder without just cause

Traits
Campaign - Roll with It - You’ve trained with some of the best giantslayers out there, and have learned how to avoid the worst effects of a giant’s powerful attacks. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Reflex saves.
In addition, once per day, when a creature with the giant subtype successfully confirms a critical hit against you with a weapon or a slam attack (not a spell or special ability), you can roll with the attack. You take normal damage from the blow, as if the critical had not been confirmed. You must be aware of the attack and able to react to it—if you are denied your Dexterity bonus to AC, you can’t use this ability. If you are a dwarf or a gnome, you can use this ability twice per day.
Magic Trait – Outcasts’ Intuition - You gain a +1 trait bonus on Sense Motive checks, and Sense Motive is always a class skill for you. In addition, your caster level is treated as 1 level higher for the purposes of any attempts to dispel your magic.
Combat Trait – Reactionary – Going it alone in the wild, she never quite developed an offensive response. Instead, became adept at anticipating sudden attacks and reacting to danger quickly. Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on initiative checks.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
------------------------------
Primal Empathy (Ex) – Large or Larger Creatures ONLY
A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result.
The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.
To use wild empathy, the druid and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.
A druid can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check.
Primal Size
A goliath druid adds enlarge person to her list of class spells. She can cast this spell only on herself.
She can also channel stored spell energy to cast this spell without preparing it—she can lose a prepared spell of 1st level or higher to cast enlarge person.
Primal Bond (Ex)
When a goliath druid forms a nature bond, Destruction
Destructive Smite (Su): You gain the destructive smite power: the supernatural ability to make a single melee attack with a morale bonus on damage rolls equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum 1). You must declare the destructive smite before making the attack. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Destructive Aura (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of destruction for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. All attacks made against targets in this aura (including you) gain a morale bonus on damage equal to 1/2 your cleric level and all critical threats are automatically confirmed. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Domain Spells: 1st—true strike, 2nd—shatter, 3rd—rage, 4th—inflict critical wounds, 5th—shout, 6th—harm, 7th—disintegrate, 8th—earthquake, 9th—implosion.
Spontaneous Casting
A druid can channel stored spell energy into summoning spells that she hasn’t prepared ahead of time. She can “lose” a prepared spell in order to cast any summon nature’s ally spell of the same level or lower.
Summon Nature’s Ally I: Compsognathus.
Spells:
Oth – 3 – Create Water, Resistance, Enhanced Diplomacy
1st 1+1 [+1 – True Strike] Cure Light Wounds, Snowball
Spontaneously Cast – Enlarge Person OR Summon Nature’s Ally

Appearance –
Aneesa is tall, about 6’3” but lanky though she has slightly broad shoulders. She has an exotic beauty about her, green eyes, blonde hair with a greenish tint. That beauty is set off by her rugged look as she wears hide armor and carries many weapons about her person. That and a single silk rope.
Background –
Her mother was a witch, or at east so her Father told her. Growing up in Trunau life was difficult looking so.. different, even among a rugged place such as this she would notice the stares, especially as she got taller. Her Father Andor did his best to hide his shame but she could feel it.
As a young teenager she confronted her father who told her the ugly truth, he had been tricked by a Hag into giving her a child, Aneesa. Several months later, I was a babe at his doorstep. A knowledgeable man, he knew what happened but instead of striking me down with his Hopeknife, he spared her.
She fled after that conversation, into the wilds around Trunau to find her Mother, and do what she did not know. Her natural instincts kept her alive soon she found the location of where her mother once dwelt but the place was empty, at least of the Hag. A Druid had taken up residence and offered to take the young girl under her wing.
Instead of return to the shame she felt home, she toll the Druid up on the offer and spent years learning the skills of the wild. She also wished to be a fearsome warrior, after all, wasn’t her mother a powerful being? She practiced daily with a greataxe she found fallen in the woods, likely dropped by an Orc raider. Her mentor scoffed at her “training”, but Aneesa continued anyway.
Now that she has turned to the age of 20, she is curious abut her Father, and has decided to return home to visit him after long last… just in time for the annual Hopeknife Festival.
