Adran is rather large for a moon elf. He stands 6 feet tall and weighs in at 162 pounds. He has silver hair, green eyes and fair skin. He is 130 years old. Adran wears his leather armor over a set of common clothes. He wears a pendant of some sort on a leather thong around his neck. The thong is long enough that it hangs down under his shirt. This is actually his crystal arcane focus which is always in contact with his body. Adran's clothing and gear are unusually clean and neat in appearance as could be expected of somebody who can cast prestidigitation. Adran wears his handaxe on the right side of his belt, his mace on the left side of his belt, and one dagger sort of horizontally through the front of his belt set up for a right hand draw. He wears the coin pouch on his belt between the dagger and the handaxe. Adran also has one dagger concealed in his right boot. When Adran is in a town or other similar location which is relatively safe and where people worry about such things he leaves his armor, mace and handaxe with his backpack in his room. Thus he would have only the one dagger in his belt and the other concealed in his boot. Backstory:
Adran had been born and raised in Evereska. He was personable and intelligent, though somewhat clumsy when compared to other elves. He started his initial training as a sage astronomer and a wizard. However, the studies that Adran undertook indicated that there was another path to arcane power. Putting all his time and energy into researching that path, Adran discovered how to run a power tap off of a Great Old One. This being is so incredibly powerful and incomprehensibly alien that it neither knows nor cares that Adran is siphoning off some of its power. The situation is something like a mosquito that managed to bite a blue whale. Adran likes being a warlock of this sort because unlike being a wizard he doesn't have to constantly worry about updating and making backup copies of a spell book. Also, his patron is making no demands of him. While the powers that Adran has access to are not as potentially broad in scope as those a well researched wizard could command, they are nevertheless more than adequate to do what Adran needs done. Adran's choice of which class to follow put him slightly on the outs with his fellow elves. The wizards tended to scoff at him somewhat as a failed apprentice. Though Adran was good enough as a sage astronomer that his work in that area was respected and Adran has about a dozen or so monographs and essays on file with the Royal Library of Evereska. It was while Adran was chatting with the head librarian at the library that Adran got the inspiration to go adventuring. They wanted somebody who was willing to travel long distances to gather rare manuscripts and scrolls to bring back to the library. Adran's talents in terms of being able to conduct research and identify suitable materials, personality in terms of being able to get along well with people, and last but not least his combat oriented arcane magic abilities all combined to make Adran an ideal candidate for that task. So it was that Adran became a hunter of rare scrolls and manuscripts for the library. His travels eventually took him to Neverwinter so he could talk to the clerics at the temple of Oghma there and get advice on new areas to search as well as making copies of some of their manuscripts to get shipped back to Evereska. During the several months that Adran spent in Neverwinter two things happened. The first was that he saved an old human woman from an attack by a couple of thugs. As a token of her gratitude she gave Adran a trinket that she said was a good luck charm. It was a coin sized bronze pentacle with an etching of a rat's head in the center. When the pentacle was held with the etching oriented the right way, two of the star points were pointing down. The strange thing was that Adran never saw the old woman again, nor was he able to find anybody who claimed that they knew her. As Neverwinter was a relatively large town with lots of people passing through Adran didn't worry too much about it, but in the little time that he spent researching the trinket he couldn't find out anything about it. Adran keeps it in his coin pouch and decided that some time when he had nothing better to do that he would do some serious research on it. But for right now he doesn't think it's worth the effort. The second thing that happened was that Adran made the acquaintance of Gundren Rockseeker. He was a dwarf who was a bit of an adventurer and a merchant. Adran bought some scrolls from him to be shipped back to Evereska and also got some leads on other areas to check out. Adran eventually ended up taking a small mission on for the dwarf to escort a wagon of supplies to Phandalin. Prestidigitation:

Until the spell ends, the object sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as you like. Completely covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as an action. If you target an object held or worn by a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the spell. Armor of Agathys:

Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d12 lightning damage, and on each of your turns for the duration, you can use your action to deal 1d12 lightning damage to the target automatically. The spell ends if you use your action to do anything else. The spell also ends if the target is ever outside the spell's range or if it has total cover from you. |
