- Freed Aldur from chains in the Obsidian Prison
- Crystal ball scrying: Successfully scryed his brother Aldur in the Obsidian Prison — saw him exhausted, chained to an obsidian pillar
- Sexual tension with Dalaiah aboard The Golden Minnow
- Tasted Sylva’s remains — scooped up the black residue left after Sylva Goldenroar turned to ash and ate it; offered some to Nyxara, who refused
- Hidden history with Drar — entering the Scalded Market in Session 61 flooded him with memories, possibly from his childhood. He recognises the city’s layout and knows of an influential local group, but has not disclosed any of this to the party
- Received a mysterious note — a hooded figure in green-brown rags slipped a rock wrapped in a written paper into his pocket in the Scalded Market. The contents are known only to him
- Returned to the Coiled Fang in Session 62 — visited his old haunt where Vex greeted him warmly and served his “usual” (moonshine and roasted pork). Met Issa, a new recruit
- Learned Robyn was in Drar — Vex told him that Robyn had been at the Coiled Fang about 20 minutes prior and left with someone he was waiting for
- Tracked Robyn to an abandoned tavern — interrogated children playing football for directions, then found a blood-soaked, trap-rigged building. In rat form, he triggered an acid trap; upon entering, he was hit by poison smoke and confronted by a blood-covered man with a barrel
- Killed Robyn in cold blood — pretended to free him and team up against Sneid Arkmos, then stabbed him through the heart. Mutilated the body in a rage while saying “you know they were innocent”
- Met Sneid Arkmos — after a brief fight, they realised they were both hunting Robyn. Shared wine and conversation at the Ambercup, then shook hands and became allies. Asked Sneid not to mention the Black Senate to the party
- Got extremely drunk with Sneid at the Ambercup, forgot his room keys, and needed Sneid’s light to lockpick his own door while barely able to see straight
- Reunited with Silk in Session 64 — the red-skinned tiefling and old Black Senate friend helped herself to his flask at the Ambercup. She traded information for a private walk, during which a quiet romantic moment broke through the tension. They agreed to meet again the next day, and she gave him an address that led the party to Aldrick Voss
- Linked with Nyxara via psychic whispers during the walk and again at Cinder Row, where he slipped through a window, picked a locked chest, and found an Empire chest plate — warning Nyxara through the whispers
- Fought in the brawl at The Vulnerable Swordsman (Session 65–Session 66) — got pulled into starting it when Jaruul tricked him with “look, melons!”, threw daggers, unleashed and then dispelled his own Vermin Shroud fog mid-fight, and looted a broken gun from Rurik Drenn’s body. His attempt to intimidate the last bandit failed — Sneid Arkmos showed him “how it’s done”
- Showed off for Kailas in Session 67 — inspected the Signet of the Silent Guard, then made it vanish and reappear with sleight of hand before using Dark Leap to teleport behind Kailas and drop it on the table: “It’s magic.”
- Returned to the Red Vale alone that night — to a rooftop hideaway from his past life — where Silk found him. A long, intimate conversation about his exile, her ties to Drar, and a possible future together ended in a kiss
- Pointed Silk toward Robyn’s killer without admitting his own guilt — directing her to the Abandoned Tavern where Robyn died, insisting “it wasn’t vengeance” and that Robyn “was doing very bad things.” Left her with a new resolve: “Now I might actually have a reason not to die”
- Negotiated the Sand Witch rental with Sulk at Drar’s Eastern gate, pitching a fish-jerky trade partnership to Jinsan to win a discount
- Sensed the desert’s trickery in Session 68 — agreed with Korin that a rock formation looked familiar despite a straight-line route, and carved a “D” into a stone spike Nyxara raised (later changed to a “P” by Kailas)
- Appointed himself Jaruul’s defender at The Buried Chamber — when Kailas hauled off the bound, gagged sorcerer, Dristuul protested “Unhand my client!” — and spotted two more gelatinous cubes in the chamber
- Answered the cave’s statue-riddles in Session 69 — solved bridge in the eagle room and then nothing at another statue (stopping the pouring sand), and figured out how to light the last brazier, triggering a golden key to drop onto Jaruul’s head, which the party used to unlock an opulent carved door
- First to enter the inner chamber beyond the door — a big chamber with a glassy pool ringed by statues of a forgotten idol or gods, a coffin barely visible beneath the water at its centre
- Communicated with the vampire’s bat form in Session 70 — the vampire emerged from the bat as a pale man in a suit, offered potions for Jaruul’s body
- Dark Leaped to save Sneid Arkmos — when a gnoll brought Sneid to the brink of death in Session 71, Dristuul instantly appeared beside him and stabilized his wounds
- Melted the preserved corpse found inside the coffin with his acid breath in Session 71 — after the party decided to seal the crypt, Korin dragged the body out and Dristuul destroyed it
- Retrieved his bottomless flask in Session 73 — sneakily took it back from Korin’s belt as the party settled into The Brass Kettle Inn in Dravenmere (Korin had confiscated it from Kailas, who had been drinking from it at the city gates)
- Refused to help Kailas with the wife scheme at the gates of Dravenmere — when Kailas asked him to take part, Dristuul said no, leaving Jaruul to do it
- Asked for an introduction to the transformed Jaruul — noticed Jaruul’s new form on the morning of the 15th of Unndilar (Session 74) and asked Korin to introduce them; Jaruul fled and went to Sneid Arkmos instead
- Helped price a skyship — went with Kailas and Jaruul to find out skyship fares in Dravenmere
- Pointed out where home was from Drun Docks with Kailas, looking out over the never-ending desert
- Introduced Kailas as his son and Jaruul as his partner to Torvek Dun outside the Drun Logistics Guildhall — then offered Torvek a drink from the Bottomless Flask when he requested alcohol
- Tried to trade with Torvek Dun in Session 75 — shared a drink and attempted to get a discount on the party’s travel in exchange for the flask
- Took the lead in the Riverworks — after the malfunctioning service elevator dropped him, Snide and Jaruul deep into the mountain, Dristuul followed the path instructions from Peltin’s clue to find whatever is hidden there
- Warned by Silk in the Riverworks in Session 76 — she revealed herself to tell him the guild had issued a capture order for him and urged him to run. He hesitated, thanked her for her loyalty, and carried on
- Dissolved the hinges of an old drainage gate with acid in Session 76, though it crashed loudly when it fell
- Tortured a captured mage in Session 76 after an ambush of assassins — broke one of his fingers and ripped off a fingernail. Just before breaking the mage’s knee, the mage revealed the organisation was connected to the mysterious symbol and mentioned The Cradle. Dristuul marked the mage’s forehead before letting him go
- Fought through the cavern ambush in the Riverworks in Session 76 — with Sneid Arkmos he made short work of a mage and an assassin, took two hits from a stubborn straggler, and helped Jaruul finish the last member of the second search party
- Slipped away and was arrested in Session 76 — sent Jaruul down the elevator alone, confessed to Seln Varro that his past was catching up, and claimed he was returning to Drar on unfinished business. At a tavern he was confronted by three hooded figures of the Black Senate: “You are under arrest for the murder of a member of the Black Senate.” He was taken, unbind and unchained, to be judged
- On trial for murder — a letter delivered via Edrin Halvek’s father in Session 78 confirmed Dristuul would be tried for the murder of a high-ranking officer. Reassured Nyxara by Sending that all was good and he would find the party later
Dalaiah’s Prophecy
“Your fortune will change when you see a three-eyed raven.”
The Black Senate
- Dristuul is a former member of the Black Senate, a secretive organization. He left the organization at some point before the campaign.
- During a night watch, Aldur confided that he is also a member. Dristuul warned him to be careful — especially around Robyn, whom he does not trust.
- Dristuul has connections to members named Silk, Whisper, Lesha, and Robyn.
- In Session 64, Silk sought him out in Drar and warned that Lesha already knew he was in the city — and that Robyn’s disappearance had made her wary of him.
- Theros overheard their Draconic conversation about the Senate using Comprehend Languages and confronted Dristuul about it.
Relationships
- Aldur — Brother. Dristuul searched for him relentlessly and freed him from the Obsidian Prison. Both share a connection to the Black Senate. Told him “I love you” during a night watch — Aldur said it back.
- Yllira Quen — Shopkeeper in Shalarag. They had a date and an overnight stay at her place.
- Sly — Raccoon companion. Very attached to Dristuul; gets jealous when Dristuul has “other pets.”
- Raven Queen — Patron deity. Communes with her via rituals.
- Sneid Arkmos — Bounty hunter met while hunting Robyn. Fought, drank, and allied. Dristuul asked him to keep the Black Senate secret from the party.
- Dalaiah — Cryptic tiefling seer aboard The Golden Minnow. Unresolved tension.
- Silk — Red-skinned tiefling and old Black Senate friend, now openly a lover. After a rooftop night in the Red Vale (Session 67), Dristuul vowed to return to her one day — “now I might actually have a reason not to die.”
- Lesha — A Black Senate figure in Drar who is wary of Dristuul’s return, especially after Robyn’s disappearance.
