Role in the Campaign
Rurik Drenn was a former soldier and one-time ally of Aldric Voss who turned on him, harassing Aldric in Drar — loud, aggressive, and dangerous. He threatened Aldric and even broke into his house, trying to drive him out of the city. He lodged at the inn The Vulnerable Swordsman, surrounded by a crew of bandits.
As the price of his help in uncovering Kailas’s bloodline, Aldric asked the party to scare Rurik off for good.
The Brawl (Session 65–Session 66)
- The party found Rurik drunk and harassing a worker at the bar of The Vulnerable Swordsman.
- When Jaruul slipped behind the counter and triggered a pub brawl, the situation collapsed into open combat.
- Rurik laughed and drew two guns — “boom sticks” — gunning down Jaruul and dealing heavy damage with both firearms and, later, a sword.
- Sneid Arkmos ended him with three shots: two to the chest and one to the head.
- Dristuul searched the body and recovered a broken gun.
- The party interrogated his sole surviving bandit, learning about the history between Rurik and Aldric, before letting the man go.
