Davigonel Shaine, an inveterate con man and thief, runs a small gang in the bloody city of Isarn. More fool hardy and lucky than anything else, Davigonel and his two goons (use stats for the Charlatan in the NPC Codex) have avoided the Grey Gardeners, though they have escaped by the skin of their teeth more than once.  Shaine has been targeting the few remaining Isarnaen jewelers left.

Sworn to the service of the oread Atabey Orom al-Tapur, Nevedesha and her zorse mount Hawshi are stabled in a log fortress in the south Tapur forest.  A talented warrior and a capable administrator, Nevedesha oversees nearly 150 peasant loggers. Nevedesha often hires mercenaries to take out fey, both mischievous and malicious. Local priests of both Sarenrae and Desna have decried Nevedesha’s pogroms of fey. 

Nevedesha bint Khomar has also been dealing with representatives of the Lumber Consortium who have been making entreaties about the Qadiran hardwood forests.  bint Khomar refuses to go against al-Tapur whom has been living in Katheer for the last 15 years.  While Gavel Orman Korpuls, a half-Keleshite by birth, keeps a friendly face to the geniekin, he also has been hiring local raiders to attack the Tapur logging camp, including a mad arcanist who’s working to complete a clay golem.

Molokk Dwarf-Mangler, chief of the One-Eye tribe, faces a problem. Several losses to other orcs and ogres have left his tribe poorly armed. Despite spurts of alliances with the Steel Eaters, Molokk screams for more steel in the hands of his hordes.  Murrka, a half-breed daughter of Molokk’s and thus more cunning than her siblings, has learned to work around the tribe’s lack of armor and arms.  Learning much of her technique from an old man they had captured on the Flood Road, Murrka now teaches her techniques to her fellow orcs. 

Of course, Molokk sees this as a threat.  Her school of disciples, while only a small fraction of the One-Eyes, is highly disciplined and loyal to her. Unbeknownst to her, Molokk has sent another half-bred son to Trunau, a charismatic spell-slinger, who is looking for adventurers to defeat “a growing orc threat.”

The city of Logas has seen better times. Having lost most of its population to the Goblinblood wars, the ruling class only wants to return to august days of old.  The under class, however, sees opportunities to be made. Being so close to the Chelish border and having so many abandoned buildings, smugglers have began operating out of the city.  Rehan has been consolidating his control over the operation, though he’s constantly fighting off attacks by thieves and other bandits. A few Hellknight initiates have been strutting down Logas’s street as well. 

Rehan has rebuffed several overtures from the Bellflower Network, caring only about his profit. The only thing he seems to care about besides the business is his mother, even if she always insists on calling him “Sistra” and “my daughter.” Rehan, the Snake 1600 XP (CR 5) Halfling Urban Barbarian (Ultimate Combat) 6 NE Male humanoid (halfling) Init +6 ; Senses Perception +11

Offense

Speed 30 ft  Melee  +1 halberd +9 (1d8+4/x3) Ranged sling +8 (1d3+2)

Tactics

During Combat As an Urban Barbarian, Rehan has the ability to change where his rage bonuses lies. Rehan prefers to use it to add to his strength, but if taken by surprise, he might use it to increase his Dexterity so he can better escape. If cornered, he will add to his Constitution.  Rehan will combine his Risky Striker strikes  with his surprising accuracy to end combats quickly.

Morale Rehan, while not a coward, has more on his mind than just fighting. Unless someone has really displeased him, he’ll run if his hit points drop below 25.

Offense

Speed  20 ft Melee Light Pick +10 (1d4+9 +1d6 (fire) (1d4+11+1d6 (fire) +2d6 against bane-d opponents), x4) Ranged Light Crossbow +7 (1d8+5, 19-20 x2) Special Attacks Judgement of Destruction: Rosaka can pronounce judgment upon her foes as a swift action. Rosaka gains a +3 profane bonus on all weapon damage rolls. She can use this ability twice per day.  Detect Alignment At will, Rosaka can use detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, or detect law. She can only use one of these at a given time. Bane (Su) Rosaka can imbue one of her weapons with the bane weapon special ability as a swift action. She must select one creature type when she uses this ability (and a subtype if the creature type selected is humanoid or outsider). This ability only functions while Rosaka wields the weapon. This ability lasts for a number of rounds per day equal to the inquisitor’s level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.  Discern Lies (Sp) Rosaka can discern lies, as per the spell, for a number of rounds per day equal to her inquisitor level (6).  These rounds do not need to be consecutive. Activating this ability is an immediate action. Spells Known Orisions Bleed, Guidance, Resistance, Sift, Brand, Daze 1st level Spells (5/day) Shield of Faith, Wrath, Inflight Light Wounds, Cure Light Wounds 2nd Level Spells (4/day) Castigate, Undetectable Alignment, Inflict Moderate Wounds, Flames of Faith

Tactics

Before Combat If Roosaka thinks that her target is going to be in the upcoming combat, she’ll cast Shield of Faith, Wrath and use the Bane ability (with the appropriate Bane for her target, most likely dwarfbane). 

During Combat First round, Rosaka will activate her Judgement of Destruction and cast Flames of Faith.  Rosaka will try to heal herself if possible if dropped below 10 HP. Rosaka will focus on her target exclusively, relying on any allies to take out the target’s posse.

Morale Rosaka will not flee, but if bested and kept alive, Rosaka will drop her weapons and leave the target alone for one month and one day. If the target does not pay back the debt that incurred her judgement (or make a reasonable start on repayment), Rosaka will return to fight again, with more allies.

For the next round, you ignore all difficult terrain and do not take any penalties for moving through it. She can use this ability 7 times per day Solo Tactics All of Rosaka’s allies are treated as if they possessed the same teamwork feat as the inquisitor for the purpose of determining whether Rosaka receives a bonus from her teamwork feats. Her allies do not receive any bonuses from these feats unless they actually possess the feats themselves.  Gear +1 Agile Breast Plate, +1 Light Pick, Light Crossbow, 20 bolts, Wand of Cure Light Wounds, Treasure 160 gp worth of Dranngvit holy texts and ledgers. 

Dwarven gods don’t often call Inquisitors, for the most part.  But the Debt-Minder, Dranngvit is the exception to this rule. The cruel-minded Rosaka is held by her faith to chase down the dead-beats and oathbreakers in dwarven society. 

Of course, adventuring dwarves are much more likely to have fallen out of grace, to have abandoned an arranged marriage or foreswear their oath to their king. And Rosaka, while unpleasant, knows enough to hire out adventurers to find her prey.
