![]() SAM: Oh, you haven't heard of Scanlan Shorthalt? Well, gird your loins, ladies, because he has his eye on you. When he awoke, Percy began to design his first gun. Then one night, Percy had a dream: a roaring cloud of smoke offered him vengeance against those who destroyed his family. He barely remembered the next two years, as he slowly made his way as far south as possible. He did not remember waking up on a fishing boat. Percy kept running, eventually jumping into a freezing river and floating unconscious to freedom. As they ran, Percy's sister took several arrows to the chest and fell. Together they fled, chased by the Briarwoods' men. Percy awoke chained in the dungeon, only to be freed by his younger sister. During a feast held in their honor, the Briarwoods violently took control of the castle, killing or imprisoning everyone who would stand in their way. One day, a mysterious couple, named Lord and Lady Briarwood, came to court. With so many siblings to share the burdens of lordship, Percy turned his attention to the sciences, engineering, and naturalism. TALIESIN: Percy was the third child of seven children, born to a noble family who lived far to the north in the ancient castle of Whitestone. With this knowledge, one thought plays in repeat in her mind: Is she even worthy? Part of the Aramente is proving yourself a strong warrior, a valiant protector, and a wise and compassionate leader. As she hiked down the mountain towards Stilben, she meditated on the task ahead. ![]() When her father felt she was ready, he set her on the path to truly discovering herself, not knowing when, or if, she will ever return. They call this the Aramente, or Noble Odyssey. Every druid leader-to-be must embark on a journey to seek out the sister tribes in order to introduce and establish respect amongst the fellow headmasters. Just like that, her jovial childhood was stripped and replaced with endless spell memorization, teachings from ancient traditions, and exceedingly high expectations. Anyways, it wasn't long before the headmaster of the tribe, her father, Korrin, realized her true prodigious abilities and she was inveterated to succeed him as the next headmaster. Well, if you consider kittens and flying squirrels to be little beasts.which, I do. Since she was a little girl, she had quite a knack for air manipulation and beast shaping abilities. It is her people's inherent duty to protect the delicate areas in Tal'Dorei where the four elemental planes begin to bleed with this realm. MARISHA (Cont'd): Under that un-intimidating petite frame is a vicious beast waiting to be unleashed, whose natural powers have made even the fiercest of champions pee their pants, literally! Born to the Air Tribe of the Ashari people, Keyleth was raised with a deep love of nature and the elemental magics. Of course, it would be unwise underestimate her based on first impressions. You might even think that her social awkwardness due to her sheltered upbringing is kind of sweet. MARISHA: A first impression of Keyleth would leave you with little information on the half-elven druid. Most nights, Grog can be found challenging entire taverns to wrestling matches! Or accompanying Scanlan to the nearest house where you pay for lady favors. And they have remained close friends ever since. It was the kindness of a gnome cleric named Pike that healed Grog, bringing him back from death's edge. Exiled from his herd, it was then that the relative of the very gnome he fought to save, saved him. Beaten bloody, and banished by the herd leader, his Uncle Kevdak, Grog was abandoned and left to die. A creature of impulse, Grog felt only pity for this– well, this terrified little thing. But after coming upon an unsuspecting elderly gnome in the woods, he objected to the killing of such an innocent life. In his early years, armed with his two-handed greataxe, Grog often enjoyed proving his might amongst the ranks of his family's wandering herd. TRAVIS (CONT'D): Easily the brains of the group, Grog is often consulted for his vast knowledge of shapes, colors, and shiny things! Also ale. TRAVIS: Right, listen up! If you have ale, then you have a friend in Grog Strongjaw! A goliath of towering height and size, this barbarian has an appetite for the two great loves in his life: combat, women, and ale! In the meantime, let's go ahead and get you situated with the character backgrounds. However, we shall see what the next chapter has in store in just a moment. ![]() It's gonna be a great show, but we'll miss her, until she shows up. Unfortunately, Laura Bailey will be gone for most of the game, possibly, she might come in, 'cause she's busy recording a show with Wil Wheaton. This evening, we luckily have Ashley Johnson back in as her character Pike. ![]() MATT: Everyone, welcome to the new episode of Critical Role.
