Hired by High Mother Sarise Dremagne

Sarise Dremagne is Fort Inevitable’s foremost religious leader. She is a cleric of Abadar, the Lawful Neutral deity of commerce, trade, and civilization. She holds the position of High Mother at the Temple of the Golden Key, the largest religious congregation in the Fort. A stern, matronly human woman of 60, Sarise dislikes the Hellknight’s support of slaverey and their worship of Asmodeus, but approves of their vigorous enforcement of the law within the Fort. She is the most influential non-Hellknight in town, and she and Audra Drovust avoid meddling in each other’s affairs. However, Sarise and Audra share concern of the recent sightings of branded undead around the Emerald Spire. You have some nature of personal or professional connection to the High Mother, and you were referred to her when she began looking for expedition candidates

Friend In Faith: If you worship Abadar or an allied (Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral, Lawful Evil, or Neutral) deity, you know the High Mother from working together on ecclesiastical projects. When she began searching for expedition candidates, she asked for you personally and offered a small up-front bonus out of respect for your professional relationship. You begin play with an extra 100gp. In addition, you receive a +1 bonus on all Knowledge (Religion) and Knowledge (Planes) skill checks and one of those skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you.

Studied Target (Ex)

At 1st level, a nature fang gains the slayer’s studied target class feature. At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, the nature fang’s bonus against her studied target increases by 1. Unlike a slayer, a nature fang does not gain the ability to maintain more than one studied target at the same time.

+1 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls.

If a slayer deals sneak attack damage to a target, he can study that target as an immediate action, allowing him to apply his studied target bonuses against that target (including to the normal weapon damage roll)

This ability replaces nature sense, wild empathy, and woodland stride.

Eko is a Grippli who was exiled from his clan for starting trouble with A Mafia bandit group local to his homeland. He attempted to stop them, failed and instead of being killed his clan begged for his life, and now pay more protection money.

Eko is someone who rights wrongs and injustices, or will at least try, That's how he met Bubbles. Rescuing her from Poachers, the two have been inseparable since.

The Tribe Shaman, whom agreed with Eko on stopping the Bandits, Did not abandon him and gave Eko some hope in the form of an old contact asking for assistance, Sarise Dremagne. An ally among the Church factions, as he worships Erastil.

Much like the two gods, the Shaman and Sarise, didn't always get along they were friends and agreed on some points. Eko himself worships Shelyn, and follows her tenets even if he doesn't exactly benefit.

I am peaceful. I come first with a rose. I act to prevent conflict before it blossoms.

I never strike first, unless it is the only way to protect the innocent.
I accept surrender if my opponent can be redeemed and I never assume that they cannot be. All things that live love beauty, and I will show beauty's answer to them.

I will never destroy a work of art, nor allow one to come to harm unless greater art arises from its loss. I will only sacrifice art if doing so allows me to save a life, for untold beauty can arise from an awakened soul.

I see beauty in others. As a rough stone hides a diamond, a drab face may hide the heart of a saint.

I lead by example, not with my blade. Where my blade passes, a life is cut short, and the world's potential for beauty is lessened.

I live my life as art. I will choose an art and perfect it. When I have mastered it, I will choose another. The works I leave behind make life richer for those who follow.
