| Early on.... Sheeva was well known throughout the small town of Dragonbane. She was a great fighter, and proved this by fighting off the ever present evil around the town. Her history was unknown, for she never spoke of her past. She had only been around less than a week when a cloaked traveler was seen in the tavern. Sheeva went to investigate. The events of this night are unknown, but rumor got around that the traveler was named Magmus. This Magmus had never spoke for social reasons. He kept to himself; his voice only heard when asking for something. Sheeva had been seen on many accounts talking to Magmus at the tavern. When goblins were sighted in the fields surounding Dragonbane, the town gaurds asked Sheeva if she would take this opportunity to prove herself some more. She willingly agreed. To the towns populace's surprise Magmus left through the town gates with Sheeva. This battle brought great respect to Magmus. With Sheeva positioned in a tree with her bow, he snuck up on one of the goblins. Slit it's neck, and dropped the corpse on the ground sighlently. He did this to 4 more goblins before they noticed. The quickest goblin charged at him, then dropped dead on the ground with an arrow in his back. The fight was quick, like Magmus's rapier. Every one of Sheeva's arrows hit home, killing many goblins before they got to Magmus. The one who did didn't do any good, for they were bloody carcasses on the ground before they could even swing their weapons. Within minutes 25 goblins were reduced to 1 which was running away with only one arm. He did not make it to the forest. An arrow shot straight through it's neck, killing it. Sheeva left the town a few weeks later, with a good of reputation as ever. No one knew where Magmus went. He had not been seen since Sheeva's leaving. Many thought he left with her, for they never fought a battle alone after their first fight together. |

| Adventures & the party's stories 1)Sheeva and Inof hear of a strange old man in town. He had never been seen before. The party of two talk to him, and he says he was run out of his house by goblins. He also explains there is a chest buried under the floor of his house. He wishes the players to obtain the chest. Curiously, he said not to open it. For this quest he said he was willing to pay a good sum of gold. The party accepted. The house was through the forest to the east. If they followed the path they would find it. The forest path was swarming with goblins. After a few hours of bushwcking Inof was feeling lightheaded from bloodloss. Sheeva got her back to town. The town was able to stop the bleeding, and Inof, the tough half-orc she is, lead the way back into the forest. Finally the small party came to a clearing. In the clearing was a house that was missing its roof. They peeked inside one of the many holes in the wall and saw some goblins and a hobgoblin. The duo planned to climb the wall and shoot the goblins inside. Sheeva made it up, but Inof fell into tho house, and into the enimy. It ended up being a classical battle untill all the goblins lay dead. The hobgoblin was cornered, but still put up a fight. A good fight. They could not take it down. So Inof distracted their foe, while Sheeva pulled the far wall down. It landed on the Hobgoblin, crushing it. They stabbed through the rubble to insure it's fate. After the fight they dug up the chest. They brought it to the old man. He opened the chest, and pulled out a yellow glowing ball. He stashed it away. Then this old man changed. Changed into a grey skinned humanoid. The heros were scared, but it explained it was really a peaceful doppleganger who was driven from his home by goblins. He wished for their help in speaking to the town leaders, and asking to stay with them. The town allowed him, but kept a close eye on him. Soon everyone knew the doppleganger, and he was also called Doppleganger. He became quite popular, and rightly so. 2)Sheeva and Inof, after leaving the tavern, saw a griffon rider land in the town. He was wearing the crest of Duke Silveron. He said he's one of many emisaries sent out by the Duke to ask of adventurers and militia to kill goblins. He told the two heros of a cave infested with goblins in the nearby forest. He said they don't have to invade the cave, but the Duke would appreciate it if they did. The adventurers told Doppleganger about the cave. He decided to come with them, and get revenge on the goblins. The cave was full of Goblins, but the three got through. The end was a deadend. Here they encountered the leader of this group of goblins: a bugbear. He had some goblin guards that he had attack the party. They fell quickly, but that was the easy part. The bugbear knew how to fight, and fight he did. Doppleganger got fist blood, but soon after that the bugbear retaliated by knocking him out. Inof and Sheeva did kill the bugbear, but not without their own injuries. They bandaged up Doppleganger, who was still uncontious, and carried him back to town. After a few days of healing, Doppleganger survived. |
