Background:
Kara Firemane was born in Varisia, and grew up there. She came into her gift as a sorcerer early in life when she accidently burned down her family's home during a goblin raid. Ridden by guilt, she left soon after. She took to the adventuring life thereafter, with a habit of sending gold back to her family. During her travels, she ended up of a ship heading south. It was attacked by pirates, while she was asleep (having drunk too much the night before) and she woke up in chains. Suddenly, she was a slave. As she had been the only passenger, and was a halfling, that was her fate. The rest of the crew either died during the attack, or either joined the pirates or fed the sharks. She joined two other halflings, destined for sale. Apparently, halfling slaves were in vogue right now.
She decided to play along, as it seemed they didn’t know she was a sorcerer, and wait for an opportunity to escape. The vessel was an Aspis consortium privateer, and so went to offload its cargo in Sagava. It docked in the evening, and the captain decided to unload in the morning. It was an unfortunate choice. Only shackling her and her companion’s legs was another.
Using a spell to open her and the other’s shackles, they slipped onto the deck quietly. But the gang plank was guarded by two large, burley pirates. Karla whispered Wait here. I’ll make a distraction. Go when it’s clear.
She slipped away, and ignited the rolled-up sails hanging low on the mast. The guards yelled in alarm and came after her. She felled one with a magic missile and dodged the other. She saw both her compatriots slip down the now unguarded gang way. More guards appeared. Desperate she cast another spell, fanning flames over the bulk of them. But this time the ship was alight, and the pirates became more interested in fleeing, than fighting. She quickly looted a few choice items, then fled off the ship.
The building codes in the Aspis port were built for efficiency, not fire safety. So, when the main mast fell, it hit a too close warehouse, setting it alight. Before a mage could arrive to extinguish the blaze, two other warehouses and an inn joined it.
Well, the local corporation head was furious, the pirate captain was furious, and lots of people joined them. Karla suddenly ended up with a hefty price on her head. With the help of some anti-slavery halflings, she sold her loot and equipped herself. Then she tried to work out how to get out of this place. She was too hot (ha!) to stay with the halflings, so she intends to find alternatives. She is going to the Guppy Eater is search of those, on their advice.
One good thing. They never got her name. She is just called the Halfling Mage on the wanted posters. Bad news, they did get a good description. But some call her the little inferno.
She worships Desna, but also says a pray or two to Pharasma.
Likes: Food, fire, and magic.
Dislikes: undead (she had a bad ghoul incident), slavers, The Aspis consortium, and religious nutters (because they'll get you killed)
Fears: caught alone with undead, being caught, being a slave.
Habits: overly fascinated by fire, she quite often conjures a small fire mote (via a prestidigitation spell) to dance on her hands as she watches.
