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 65Session 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.
