Imedren's page

Imedren is a surprisingly cool headed young man, as these things go. He tends to act more like a tired adult than anything else about him. Good natured in his ability to deal with people, he's usually up for most adventuring challenges and he helps people out of the kindness of his heart.

Imedren was raised in Arch, first as a commoner. He spent a good many years of his early life enjoying the city in it's slightly more rambunctious days. Always playing with his friends and older brother Yaldrin along Door Street, he frequented many of the wonders in the city but usually in the company of others. Yet when he turned 9 his family fortunes began to change, or at least that was when he took notice of them. His brother's demeanor began to shift and his parents began to take a more dignified approach to the way he was allowed to spend his days. Gone were the years of carefree youth exuberance, in there place was now study on mannerisms and religious knowledge. His family was moved into a better part of the city but he was no longer allowed to play with his friends. His parents became more embroiled into their own research. His brother was placed into the military academy of arch. Imedren soon found himself alone without friends or any real confidants. But despite that people began to recognize him when he traveled. He found it odd and began spending more and more time alone with his studies.

During his years studying religion while learning to read and write, Imedren became inquisitive about his parents work. He asked anyone and everyone he could find about it. Most stated they simply didn't know but eventually he found a few who were more forthcoming, particularly when they were drunk. Bits of information he could glean from them in passing conversation to rumors he heard from his brother or others that occasionally stopped by. He eventually discovered that his father had been working directly under a rising star at a place simply called 'The Lab.' His families recent change in fortunes was due to years of his fathers devoted time to helping a man named Weal Tucker with his experimental research. During his time he also discovered that his father had left many old notes concerning the research and use of experimental dark magic that his grandfather and even his great grandfather had devoted their lives to. Apparently, Tucker, or at least his family had been interested in such work for decades and he had influence around the town. Flustered by the discovery, Imedren was uncertain of what to do and so he took his findings to his brother Yaldrin during one of his shorter leaves from his training.

Yaldrin did not seem overly surprised by what Imedren had found however. Instead, he stared Imedren right in the eye and told him to keep his head down, not tell anyone else what he had found, and listen to what their parents, and he, told him to do. The look in his brothers eyes had hardened into something that he didn't truly recognize any longer and even though it scared him, he went with what his brother had said.

The years after that hard meeting with his brother led Imedren down an easy but paranoid life style. He asked for his parents advice and he made sure to follow it. He kept his head down and did not ever reach beyond his means. Things seemed to go well for him but he always knew there was something darker just beyond the pleasant facade. It drove him into a wall and he found it hard to not tell anyone about what he'd discovered because he did not know who worked for who. He eventually found solace in drinking. It helped keep his emotions in check and made him able to deal with everything more easily for a time. He also began speaking on spiritual matters regarding the old faith. He saw the way it helped people cope with their day to day lives and it made him feel better knowing he could help with their struggles and lighten the burden of his own.

Time passed, his parents saw that he was drowning himself in his work and while he was becoming a more notable member of the community, he was also being noticed for his vice of drowning himself at the taverns. They told him that while they were pleased he was continuing with his responsibilities, he was far too noticeable and had far too much time on his hands so he should get married. They had planned on even gone so far as to arrange a marriage for him.

But life has a funny way of intervening sometimes. While Imedren was spending his time at the taverns enough, he found a kindred spirit who did as well. Her name was Uruuna, she was a halfling with a boisterous temperament and could drink Imedren under the table easily. The two of them met during uncertain terms in their life and became familiar drinking partners often both having long or hard days. Once the drink had loosened their tongues the two would joke, trade stories, and generally share small bits of each others life with one another. As the two got to know each other they became comfortable around each.

One night a handful of drunken louts started making lewd comments and gestures to Uruuna and Imedren just couldn't let that stand. He was a poor fighter as it turned out, but Uruuna was not, and she made short work of them. The two became friends after that. The nights turned to weeks, weeks became months, and for well over a year the two got to know each other. Imedren had found a place he could relax in, away from his faith based studies, and a friend he could just be himself with.

The tavern was a place where there was nights of musicians playing music for dancing and singing songs. Bards and travelers came from all over the kingdoms to tell of adventurous or harrowing tales of the outside world by the hearth. Good food and drink was plentiful. Merchants came and occasionally showed off their wares to the drunken patrons, and the local people came to relieve themselves of their stress. It was home to Imedren and just when he thought things couldn't get any better, one night Uruuna asked him to come with her and he agreed. He found that he loved her and in an a rare moment of non-drunken bravery he asked her to marry him and she agreed.

But those days of wonderful peace could not last. His parents were less than thrilled about him taking his own initiative and marrying outside of his own race, especially since they had gone through the trouble of setting up an arranged marriage with the daughter of a merchant they had only recently become associated with. His brother, Yaldrin, quietly nodded his consent to his brothers strength of will and stepped in for him again. With him already having become a lieutenant rank and engaged to marry a minor nobles daughter he made their parents see the wisdom in letting the family seem open to all races, which would also help with Imedren's coming station with the church.

The terms and conditions were deemed unavoidable but acceptable by their parents who acquiesced to the marriage. Provided that he not destroy their name, however, because he had dared to anger their good will they cut him off from the family wealth. Helping only to keep him afloat if need be.

And so it was that Imedren and Uruuna struck out on their own and moved to another city known as the Crossings. Life was not easy, but at least Imedren would not be under the direct shadow of his parents or brother any longer. He was in a sense free for the first time in his life. It was not a chance he wanted to waste.

The cache of forbidden magic and knowledge from Sunionius Roo
- A thousand years ago, Sunionius Roo was one of the most infamous men to ever walk the world. A devoted servant of the Demon Lord in the aspect of the Destroyer of Worlds, Roo stained his hands with the blood of sacrifices, sullied his soul with dark magic, and plunged the lands that would become the Northern Reach into darkness. But then at some point, the demonologist realized the true nature of his master, seeking to undo his own dark deeds. For his change of heart, his confederates killed him, condemning his soul to Hell.

HALT TIME: TIME UTILITY
3RD, 1/2
Area A 4-yard-radius sphere centered on a point you
can reach
Duration 1 minute; see the effect
Time halts in the area for the duration. Each creature other
than you in the area becomes insensate, unable to use
actions or triggered actions, and unable to move. Creatures
outside the area cannot enter it, and objects or effects
originating from outside the area cannot reach into the area;
they stop at its edge, remaining there until the spell ends.
Creatures and objects in the area cannot be attacked,
moved, or affected by any effect. Ongoing effects that apply
to creatures and objects in the area are suspended until the
spell ends.
You, however, are unaffected by the spell and can freely
move around in the area, leave it, and return to it. You can
end the effect at any time without using an action to do so.
Once the spell ends, time moves faster in the area it affected
until it resumes the normal flow of time. Two rounds pass
inside the sphere for every round that elapses outside it until
time again flows the same in both places. If the spell lasted
for three rounds, for instance, then the accelerated time
lasts for three rounds. Each of the extra rounds that elapses
inside the sphere occurs between each pair of rounds that
elapse outside it. Any creature in the sphere during one of
these extra rounds can take a turn. But if a creature leaves
the sphere on its turn during one of these extra rounds, the
creature enters normal time, and its turn immediately ends
as it does so. Such a creature must get a success on a Will
challenge roll or gain 1 Insanity. Attacks and other effects
originating from inside the sphere that would affect targets
or areas outside it are resolved at the end of the extra
round. In addition, creatures inside the area make attack
rolls against targets outside the sphere with 3 boons, while
targets outside the sphere make challenge rolls to resist
harmful effects with 3 banes.

Accelerate: (Touch)
- 3rd. 0/2,
Duration: 1 Minute
You touch the target. For the duration, it can take both a fast turn and a slow turn each round. When the effect ends, the target becomes fatigued for 1d6 minutes.

TWAIN SELF TIME UTILITY
- 4th, 0/1,
Area A cube, large enough to hold a creature of your Size,
originating from a point within a number of yards equal
to your Speed
Duration: 1 minute; see the effect
You cause yourself from the future to appear in the area and it
remains in your time for the duration. Until the spell ends, you and
your future self can each take a turn every round, though the
paradox of your twained existence imposes
1 bane on both of your attack rolls and challenge rolls.
You and your future self have identical attributes and
characteristics. Although you can act separately, you and your
future self count as one creature for the purpose of sharing
resources. Thus, if one takes damage or gains Insanity, it
applies to both characters. If one expends the casting of a
spell, the casting is expended for both. If one of you suffers an
affliction or would benefit from an ongoing effect, the affliction
and effect apply to both.
Your future self has identical copies of everything you
wear and carry, with a couple exceptions. First, if you or your
duplicate consume or expend on item, such as dealing a
healing potion, the item is lost to both of you. Furthermore, if
you have a relic, you must decide whether you or your future
self carries the relic.
If either you or your future self becomes incapacitated, the
other does as well. If you die, your future self disappears.
When the effect ends, you and your future self disappear.
You reappear 1 minute later, in the space your future self
occupied or in the nearest open space if it is occupied.

DIMENSIONAL STABILITY TELEPORTATION UTILITY 5
Area: A 20-yard-radius sphere centered on a point you can reach.
Duration: 7 days
You stabilize reality throughout the area to prevent creatures from teleporting into, out of, or within it for the duration.
Sacrifice: You can use an action and expend a casting of this spell to teleport to an open space within extreme range.

- Others are the basis of how I try to conduct myself. I often go out of my way to meet and talk to them.

Do you like being the center of attention or bring left alone?
- I prefer to be the center of attention in a group. How else can I help people at large?

- Then name one thing you could lose.
-- I could do without my familial obligations but I can't simply abandon them.

3) What do you fear?
- I fear violent frightening confrontation with others. I nearly always
seem to back down. I fear dark magic may be at the heart of town. I fear that my parents may find out. I fear I might be susceptible to corruption just as they were.

I hate it when someone purposefully make others feel belittled and small.

5) You have (at least) one secret. What is it?

8) Do you follow through on your promises and obligations? Or do you delay or avoid? Do you feel guilty when you don't uphold them?

Of course I do! What sort of person would I be if I didn't hold to my promises and obligations?! It breaks my heart when I can't uphold what I am supposed to do.

9) What are your opinions on Good and Evil? Do they exist? Or is it all shades of Grey? Where do you see yourself?

As the teachings of the old gods say, there is absolutely good and bad. I should know, I've seen the evidence... but can I really do anything but direct people to live a life of good? What can I do against generations or even centuries of evil? I hope they never find me.

The Town we live in is being haunted by disappearances of it's population.
Father Gregory, a dear friend, has gone missing while looking into these disappearances.
My wife, Uruuna, and I have begun searching for him.
We have met the strange goblin, Anophth. He too is a friend of Gregory's. I believe I've seen him a few times at sermons.
While asking around, we heard a rumor of a watch sergeant named Alyse who has continued looking into the disappearances despite orders for the Brown Coats to disregard the missing. She told us of the six missing people so far. Seven now with Gregory too.
She then led us to the Fallen Soldier. A low brow Tavern/brothel.
The barkeep told us of a hooded man who was seen snatching an orphan boy off the street. He then told us of a local gang called the Rude Boys being approached by two sophisticated gentlemen the previous week and going to the Moore House. Rumored to be a former home of Demonologists. Curiously, this was the same time the disappearances started... are they connected?
We investigated and were run off by two threatening thugs. It seems they are still there.
We then spent the entire night searching for our cloaked figure. But to no avail.
We will now rest and then resume our investigation later.

Day 2: We met with some other people. Tabog, his son Nutmeg and a socially awkward man named Dramm. Together with them we returned to the Moore House and found the same Rude Boys guarding the house. We tried to sneak past but it didn't go well, a fight ensued. Thankfully we managed to subdue and capture them. We sent Nutmeg off to find Sergeant Alyse and we went inside the house to see what we could find.

The creature within was perhaps once human but now dark magics had allowed it to continue in a manner of life most foul. This thing has given men nightmares and nearly caused me to run but somehow I found the strength to hold on and fight it. We killed it in a short, bloody fight. No one died but some were wounded. There were signs it had been contained within some sort of sarcophagus but it had been released. Likely by those two men we'd heard hired the Rude Boys.

We found Father Gregory... or rather the shell of the man he used to be. I can only imagine the horrors he witnessed and endured at the hands of that thing. The others who had been taken by this thing were dead now. Gregory was no longer whole, but alive while missing an arm, a leg, and an eye. I cannot say whether his life is a good thing to continue as he was taken to the asylum. It's unlikely he'll ever recover...

Shortly thereafter; We were thanked for our efforts by Mayor Edgarton. She was pleased to reward us for our efforts and even became our patron. She told us that there had been rumors of cult activity within the city for months now and that several other members of the city council had been focused on belaying the actions of the Brown Cloaks. I made sure to include my wishes to reward Sergeant Alyse as she was the only one to aid us in this matter directly.

I have endeavored to move ahead with this investigation. Father Gregory was a great man and he will be sorely missed by the people of the Crossings. Myself and Uruuna included. I will try to fill the gap within the community he has left as we check in. Hopefully it will all go well. We will find out who is behind all of this and bring them and any others to justice. I want to see this city return to a more peaceful times.

Things have not been going well so far. My attempt to fill in for Father Gregory with his flock and those
who worship the New God did not take kindly the news that Father Gregory was now forever gone and that I, a follower of the Old Faith, was to replace him. Many have said unkind words. Many have left and my words, I feel, fall on deaf ears.

It's not as though I mean them ill will. I'm just trying to help them understand what they won't see.

Enigma Stone, cracked.
