Isilee

THIS IS ISI

## Stats

Isilee is a half-eleven rogue PC played by Jordyn. Born in Lordaeron to Isidori a human prostitute (?), and Leodis Skybearer, a High Elf ambassador (assistant) from Silvermoon. Isilee spent her early childhood in Lordaeron but moved to live with her father in Silvermoon after her mother passed of illness (likely an STD). Isilee is the party's rogue, and has a particular affinity for daggers of all shapes and sizes. She is mischievous and enjoys sowing chaos in the party's adventures; however, she also cares deeply for her party members, often trying to get them to open up about their histories and share their experiences with the group.

## Background

Isilee was born in Lordaeron to Leodis Skybearer and Isidori. Isilee did not get along with her father, finding him distant, especially due to his time spent away for his work. Isilee was in Silvermoon during the High Elf Massacre but managed to survive, though she is unaware of whether her father did as well. After the massacre, Isilee took a job with another survivor who was a friend of her father's. Isilee's eyes were once purple, not green, and she believes it has something to do with the destruction of the Sunwell, though she isn't sure. At one point, Isilee was engaged to a man named Pietro, but she believes he tried to have her killed. She does miss that that they used to "murder, cuddle" (though these were two separate activities, note the comma). Pietro and Isilee were both employed by the spy organization Blades of the Sun under the supervision of Cinder Sharpflyer. At some point, they engaged in business with another spy organization known as Ravenhold. Isilee ran away from Blades of the Sun after completing her business with Ravenhold. However, her absence was made known to Cinder by Pietro, who presented him with a burn notice detailing Isi's activities and alleging that she was additionally spying on the Syndicate.

## Campaign

### Ratchet Arc

Isilee is approached while in the Broken Keel Tavern by Captain Brightsun, a Blood Elf captain requesting aid in rescuing his cousin Gilthares Firebough from the South Sea Freebooters. She teams up with an eavesdropping Forsaken Night Elf named Alyrin and they set off toward the pirate camp. Upon arrival, they are quickly taken hostage and were relieved of all of their personal possessions. Quickly after, another two are thrown in the cell with them-- troll shaman Ga'an and Blood Elf mage Adelaide. Using the abilities of the full group, they are able to all escape the pirate camp and rescue Gilthares. Isilee and the rest of the group returned Gilthares to Captain Brightsun and were granted passage north on his boat.

### Ragefire Arc

The group is first investigated, and then tasked by Jes'rimon to aid in the efforts of the Shattered Hand to learn about the workings of the Burning Blade. During this time, Isilee discusses her past with the group, who learn that her father was not around a lot. Adelaide recognizes her father's name when spoken, but does not elaborate on her connection to it. Isilee and Adelaide form a close bond to the point that Isilee attempts to rob a component store for Adelaide, and is thoroughly beaten up by a magical rug and some other furniture and decoration, bestowing upon her a lifelong fear of furniture. The group heads on to Ragefire Chasm, the lava-ridden base of the Burning Blade. While in Ragefire, the group fights many monsters including Taragammon the Hungerer. Upon his defeat, it is noted by Adelaide that his blade, known to glow in the presence of Fel magic, glows brighter near Isilee. The party exits Ragefire and returns to tell Jes'rimon of their findings, where they are introduced to Whuut, who everyone immediately becomes obsessed with. That night, the group is attacked by assassins at the Broken Tusk Tavern, and Isilee is slipped a note instructing her to meet with the Shattered Hand urgently. Upon meeting with Jes'rimon it is discovered that he was the victim of an attack as well. The group vows to investigate Neeru and find out who did it. Alyrin and Isi apprehend a spy working for Nekros following them and interrogate him in a totally normal way. Following this the group goes to find Nekros and interrogate him, which they are mostly unsuccessful at doing. After a similarly blunderous encounter with Harkzog in the Hall of the Brave, the group decides to confront Neeru directly. This works and Neeru is taken into custody by Thrall. The party rests, recuperates, and celebrates at a feast thrown by Thrall in their honor; Isilee takes this opportunity to regale the attendees of the many heroic acts of the Gaytekeepers, asking for donations for their heroic deeds and Alyrin's basilisk therapy.

### First Home Arc

The party next ventures to Sen'jin Village, Ga'an's hometown. The party meets Ga'an's family and learns about the state of the village due to the recent raids. Isilee also convinces Ga'an's mother and half the town during this time that she is married to Ga'an and that actually so are Adelaide, Juniper, and Alyrin, and that the party is comprised of sisterwives. Isilee sells the item the Orb of Time to a magic items specialist in the village, successfully deceiving him that the item contained Wild Magic. However, the only ones that ended up being deceived were the party, as we had never identified the item and it was in fact Wild Magic for real. The party formulates a plan for transport to First Home, and prepares by speaking to several members of the village before boarding the ship. They travel to the location the Darkspear Isles should be and dive in, using Necklaces of Water speaking to avoid asphyxiation. At one point, the party is ambushed after resting in a temple by some creepy fish witches. The fish witches are winning the battle initially, killing or frog polymorphing everyone except Isilee. Isilee attempts to strike a deal with the fish witches and sweet talk them into letting the party go in exchange for a favor. The fish witches accept the deal and everyone is revived and healed. Ga'an and Alyrin are not amenable to the terms of the deal and renege, causing the fight to recommence, but this time the Gaytekeepers are victorious. The group make their way to a temple of all of the Loa, and begin to offer prayers to them in order to gain their favor before the trials ahead. Isilee specifically engages in a ritual for the Loa Elortha no Shadra, the spider goddess of spies. Upon reaching the island and in the midst of the island's trials, a will-o-the-wisp reveals Isilee's true name to be Anidori. Ga'an asks why she changed her name, at which point she reveals that she essentially betrayed everyone she knew in her past, including Pietro, and had to assume a new identity in an attempt to escape from the consequences of these actions. Isilee is given an audience with the spider goddess Shadra. During this interaction she is marked by the goddess in the form of a spider brand on her neck. This brand is revealed to be known as The Blessing of the Silk Dancer, which grants Isilee +2 to poison DCs as well as knowledge of 4 new poisons. The party leave First Home and successfully return to the ship. Isilee has collected 'mementos' (blood, sand, wood chips, an eyeball, bones) and enlists the rest of the party to help make it into a (very gross) memory candle for Ga'an.

After returning to Orgrimmar, the party engages in fun-filled Wintervale festivities (much to the chagrin of Juniper). One of these activities includes fighting in and winning a championship at the Valley of Strength. Isilee also won two rats in a shooting game at the festival, which she names Ga'an and Athian. After this championship, the group retires to the Broken Tusk Tavern, where Isilee and Alyrin notice two orcs staring at the party. Isilee goes to investigate, and is almost spelled by one of the orcs-- she is instructed to lose the rest of the party and go to Dark Earth Tavern, a place Alyrin had gone once before for normal mushrooms and absolutely nothing else. The group formulates a plan where Isilee would go toward the tavern normally and the rest would follow her invisibly behind. Isilee enters the tavern and is immediately captured by none other than Cinder Sharpflyer and his accomplices. Cinder had been told of Isi's exploits by Pietro, and deduced that she was around after Jes'rimon dropped a few clues about her identity unintentionally, but was unable to track her location until she appeared winning the championship earlier. He interrogated her about her activities with Ravenhold and she told him the truth-- she was involved with Ravenhold and spied for them on the Syndicate, but never worked against the Blades of the Sun. The rest of the group attempted a rescue but it turned out there was never any murdery intent on Cinder's part, and then everyone just had a nice discussion under the influence of truth serum before Cinder gave up and let us go home. Isilee revealed to the party later what she had left out of the discussion with Cinder-- she had wanted to leave Blades of the Sun and potentially begin working with Ravenhold but was unable to do so.
