Kora Oaks's page

Born in Sandpoint to two half-orc parents, Kora lost her father at an early age. A part-timer on a fishing boat, he was lost at sea after an accident. Her mother worked on the docks and raised her as well as she could, but Kora developed a wild streak early on. Uneager to follow her parents' humble footsteps, but convinced there were not many opportunities for those of her race, she started hanging out with young toughs her age, trying to make a name for herself.

At the age of 15 she ran away from home and hitched a ride to Magnimar, hoping to hire her meager skills out and find her fortune. What she found instead was lowly work as a hireling for decidedly unglorious adventurers and thugs. After less than a year of demeaning work and treatment she finally lost her temper and picked a fight with one of her employers, an arrogant swordsman who had used her as live bait for ghouls. That confrontation left her bleeding out on a tavern floor.

Surviving only because of a passing cleric of Cayden Cailean who happened upon her as she was dragged out onto the street. After she recovered, she returned to Sandpoint immediately, thoroughly humbled.

Life back in Sandpoint has been awkward. Her bad reputation still hanging over her head, finding steady work has proven difficult. She takes oddjobs here and there where she can find them. She has even started taking on jobs at the docks thanks to her mother, whose relationship with her daughter is finally starting to mend. She still holds her head high, but any thoughts of grandeur and great fortune have been all but snuffed out.

Still, if adventurers passing through town ever look for hired help and they seem a decent sort, she finds herself quick to offer her services.

Money is money.

Drowning(minor) - The memory of losing her father at sea has left her nervous about going out to sea. She never learned how to swim because of it.

Undead(major) - Being left standing alone in a graveyard as unwitting bait to draw out the hungry dead has marked her for life. She can't even go near the perfectly maintained and sanctified Sandpoint cemetary without looking over her shoulder and eyeing the graves, waiting for them to burst open.
