The Sea Wyvern

The Sea Wyvern was recovered by the adventurers after discovering it moored just off Kraken Cove. The ship was overrun with pirates turned savage by the magic of a strange black pearl they discovered shattered at the bottom of the bay. After killing these insane creatures the ship was claimed as a prize and used by Lavinia Vanderboren in her expedition to Farshore.

Tavey Nesk

Cabin boy

A young and excited lad, Tavey is the Sea Wyvern’s cabin boy. He has taken to hero worshipping Cuni during the voyage. He tends to follow him around the ship at every opportunity.

Avner Meravanchi

Noble Adventurer

Avner is a despicable cur – a slanderer, a deflowerer of maidens, and an utter cad who cares only about himself. Yet on the surface he is charming helpful and brave. This is all an act. When trouble appears, he disappears. When coins go missing, he is the culprit. When ladies are left a lurch at the altar, he’s off frolicking with their sisters.

Despite the slow recovery of her wealth Lavinia could not quite finance her expedition to Farshore on her own. She spoke with the other noble families of Sasserine, but only one felt the profits for aiding her outweighted the dangers – the semi-notorious Meravanchis. Of course Avner’s father, Zebula, had an additional reason for sending Avner on this trip. By sending him off to Farshore he removes the threat of him embarassing the family more in Sasserine. Avner has no concept his father wanted to get rid of him, and carries with him a vastly inflated sense of self-importance as a result. Traveling with Avner are two meek servants (Bandaby Chisk and Quenge Asper) who defer to his every need but are otherwise unobtrusive.

Amella Venkalie

Captain of the Sea Wyvern

A slight but powerful woman with fine blonde hair tied neatly back from her forehead, Amella dresses to fight and sail rather than to please the eye. A thin scar graces her right cheek.

Amella is rather foul-mouthed, fond of uttering oaths only heard in the worst dockside taverns. Confident, haughty, and astute, she does not suffer fools gladly. She makes few attachments, having buried one husband. She makes friends slowly, but once someone has earned her trust, she’s quite loyal despite her carefree attitude.

Urol Forol (Dead)

Gnome Naturalist

Urol is a bent old gnome that constantly squints when he looks. He carries the odor of the land about with him, an odor that most find not to pleasant. He is talkative and chipper except when the subject of the natural world comes up, whereupon he flies into a frenzy of excited stuttering bliss, exponding upon obscure and often strangely fascinating (to him, at least) bits of lore.

Urol has actually been to the Isle of Dread before, although his stay, in his words, was, “Unfortunately short – due to events beyond my control, I might add! We’ve certainly nothing to fear this time around!” He demanded to be part of Lavinina’s expedition when he learned about it, and indeed his knowledge of the Isle could greatly help the colonists of Farshore. Urol has a strange fascination with poisonous creatures, and his nerve-wracking collection of spiders and snakes is often the subject of whispered talk on the Sea Wyvern.

Death - burned to a crisp by the fiery breath of a bat-like demon in the ruins of Tamoachan.
