Letter From Home


31st Stormtide YD 187





Dearest Heresh,


We're so proud of you! Well, your mother spent a while being angry (without doubting you, mind), of course, but we really are impressed at how you've made the most of a dangerous situation. We'd written you a previous letter, but your mother was also paranoid about Spire security; we ended up waiting until we had a better idea of what ports at which you could be reached.


I've put the pay packet you sent home into the bank, on a high-interest account. To be quite honest it's to ransom you back from pirates, if it ever comes up. On the topic of the Silverlight incident, that's where your mother is now - volunteered to support an Inquisitorial investigation. I'm afraid I can't share anything more.


I hope that you didn't bet or pay at that arena; you shouldn't encourage that kind of barbarism. Speaking of which, the statue is lovely and I've loaned it to the gallery on the fortieth floor. Ask the postmaster about protection, as there's a related package in secure storage for you.


Please, be careful among the Scions. It's great that you seem to be picking up Urd, but if they offer you something called Investiture, refuse. From your Captain's reputation, she should be quite proper about it.


Be very wary of the Lezek, though. She's a dangerous exile and Lezekim diplomats refuse to even talk about her. I don't know what she has done, but I hope your Captain is keeping you safe, keeping an eye on her.


I have contacted a Communer I know in a nearby Commune about Leviathans.


We love you, and we miss you.


Mama & Papa

Hulbrad Adeline


Architect of Impossibility, Engineer of Infinity, Gardener of Improbability

• Description
• Stats
• Infernal Spark

• 
  
  
  A woman of nearly a a full century of age, yet a body that doesn't seem to be affected by the ravages of time. Adeline lives in a personal bubble of her own subjective reality where things like logic, magic and objectivity all seem to disobey their most basic of laws.
  
  
  Hair of a solid void, a darkness from whence no light escapes, it falls down to the floor and pools around her. Her eyes are opaline, the whites a rose pink. Her face extremely friendly yet somehow appearing both detached and involved at the same time. Full lips above a tightly chiseled jaw. Freckled cheeks give a distinct look.
  
  
  Her body is soft and seems to be constantly smelling of exotic spice, akin to a holiday. She appears different at almost every angle, sometimes the skinniest obese Hulbrad, sometimes the fattest cachectic, sometimes the tallest of the short and at others the shortest of the massive.
  
  
  Clad in long robes, she dons a cropped top, pale skin occasionally showing through. A pair of trousers, long enough to pool at her feet. She has a bad habit of nail biting and often will clap in delight. She smokes profusely and often arrives in a cloud of smoke that varies in scent with the time of year.

  Familiarity:
  
  
  Adeline is a voracious fan of architecture and has read/collected any writings on the subject along with visiting the greatest wonders of her time. From the frozen North of Trollhaven, to the living depths of the World Cap, and even projecting into the Infernal realms, Adeline has sought out the structures of both the willful and un-willful mind
  
  
  
  
  
  Knowledge:
  
  
  As a side hobby, Adeline grows and tends to exotic plants from across the world. She also makes a tidy sum selling dried and rolled herbs to be smoked by those that can afford her steep prices. It is even said that Adeline is currently harboring not one but two tree folk within her enigmatic estate. When it comes to properties of plantlife, Adeline may possibly be the greatest expert in the known world.
  
  
  Training:
  
  
  Adeline is a self taught practitioner of a Hulbrad skill set the emphasizes inaction against those that take action. Never remaining in the same place, it utilizes warped positions, teleportation, and leverage to overcome and eliminate foes in embarrassing fashion.

  Non aging - Despite being a century old, Adeline hasn't aged past the looks of youth.
  
  
  Spatial Distortions - Adeline projects a passive aura of oddity where rules of reality wrap and bend. This can suppressed through willpower and indulged in by the feeble minded.
  
  
  Wall walking - Often times Adeline leaves her earthly bonds and will walk upon walls, ceilings, and the improbable surfaces she creates with ease.

FAMILIARITY


Taken as a child and raised up as a tool within the secular ranks of the Inquisition, Strigs knows Inquisition life and understands the basics of their ways. As such, she gains a bonus to interacting with members of the Inquisition.


KNOWLEDGE


Strigs has killed quiet a few low ranking Magi and Illegal invested (Mostly Lybar and Olimak). The steeltooth has gained knowledge of how these people operate and how best to kill or not be killed by their kind.


TRAINING


Lionbrass is the primary attunement of Strigs. Her body infused with the abhorrent metal to infernal Scions and etched with runes pariah to magi. Trained to use these, Strigs gains bonuses in combat with them.


TRAINING


The possibility of Strigs being captured always exists. The Inquisition has realized this and proceeded to train her to resist both mental and physical torture techniques.


TRAINING


Strigs has been conditioned to withstand mental intrustion and battles of willpower. Interestingly enough, it hasn't been done through expanding her mind but by instead channeling a base spiritual rage of Imeria itself found inside the rebellious Elementals. Many foe seeking to confuse, disrupt, or instill something inside her mind have found it disconcertingly empty except the sweet smell of Imerian soil.

[Grey]

Can we possibly scale her back to her 60s or so? Stats all look fine, and I'll back to you about her Expressions and Advantages a bit later.

 

[Teh Frixz]

I'll pull her back to 60-65 no problem!
