Auroch’s Breath Drinking a pint gives you the benefit of an endure elements spell for 1 hour, though only against warmth and heat, not cold.
Bandages of rapid recovery These linen bandages have the same color and softness as the feathers of a dove, but their antiseptic smell suggests a less natural origin. Any creature wrapped in these bandages recovers from wounds and ability damage each day as if receiving complete bed rest regardless of activity (Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 191). A creature actually receiving long-term care (from the Heal skill) or complete bed rest while wearing the bandages gains a +4 bonus to its effective level or Hit Dice when determining how many hit points it recovers each day. The bandages are destroyed once removed or when the wearer recovers all hit points and ability damage, whichever comes first.

Bio:
Barak Varr as born and raised among to mountain dwelling dwarfs called the onyx anvil clan, a small group of miners and smiths supplying gems and rare ores to the nearby dwarven strongholds. At a young age Barak skills as a runner and messenger began to show he lacked the natural aptitude needed to mine or smith. The onyx anvil shared their dormant volcano home with a red dragon and her children and regularly the clan would be forced to defend themselves from aerial raids it was in these times that Barak whether using his crossbow to help drive attacks back or providing healing after the battle. Barak in time was offered an apprenticeship in the messenger guild of the nearby cosmopolitan city. In time he became a full messenger enjoying the life on the road meeting new people and seeing new places. After a particularly profitable journey Barak was a mile or so outside the guilds home town when he spies a large bird thinking to gain some food and fletching he shot the bird. However when he went to retrieve his kill it turned out to be the prized falcon of the guild master. Although he apologised Barak hasn’t been given a good assignment since travelling long distances to small hamlets, bandit camps, and other dangerous and unimpressive locations. He wouldn’t mind but the pay is so bad it barely covers his expenses.
How he knows the party:
Whilst in a tavern awaiting the recipient of his message he met the party who employed him to guide them to a set of ancient ruins rumoured to be inhabited by a devil worshiping cult. It was an eye opener to Barak and he enjoyed the thrill of battling devils and evil-doers after returning to the town he enjoyed a extremely drunken night of revelling and parted on good terms with the adventuring party having filled his purse with loot from the temple.
