Milo Kegbottom

—Randy[src]

**Milo** is a middle-aged halfing sorcerer who's just discovered his powers. In the past he owned a tavern with his wife, Kylie, but it burned down. In the fire his wife was killed, and he suffered a brain injury that's stayed with him since. On occasions he'll refer to his wife as if she's alive, or say some nonsense that doesn't make sense. He used to run numbers out of the tavern.

Lately he's been settling in nicely with his elderly mother. He tries to help out where he can, but he misses his tavern.

## Kylie's Murder

Milo remains suspicious that Kylie's death was not an accident. He sometimes sees evidence where there is none, but after a trip to the city Fallen, has real, tangible evidence of it.

They were sent to retrieve a ledger from the Tarkanans that had sensitive information on it. Upon retrieving it, Milo started flipping through it, and found a note from Kylie, to an Iron Hatch. Connecting the dots, Iron Hatch would be the name used by Siphist Coaldoor, the Dark Lantern they had just sold out to the Tarkanans.

Erys helped with removing the ink of the note, and they got the ledger copied by Sivis before handing the original over.

### Viggo's Confession

The gang visits Saidan for a meeting, and are shocked to see him dead on the floor, with Reynard's dagger in his chest. The Boromar family walks in right after them, and in the confusion, Hob grabs Viggo and they all escape in Tasha. In the interrogation that follows, they get out of Viggo that he had Jason under him, and he was the one who ordered the destruction of Kegbottom's. Not only that, but Milo was supposed to die, too. Viggo had found Kylie's betrayal, and wanted as painful a death as possible for her, and assumed she had told Milo, too.

## Magic

Milo doesn't have full control of his magic. There are things he knows he can do, but often he casts spells and trusts whatever is inside him to get it right. In a fight with the Ram, a shadowy hand came out of the scar on his forehead and started attacking the Ram. Later, it helped him cast a different spell. He's sure it has something to do with Kylie.

The scar on his forehead started becoming more concerning. It smokes constantly, and more eyrie things are happening with it. Spells going horribly, excess smoke billowing. He still uses magic regularly, much to Erys's dismay.

## Relationships

### Reynard

Milo and Reynard are drinking buddies, and typically pair up when the party splits. Milo can keep his liquor much better than Reynard, who often buys until he's forced to leave. Reynard gave Milo a music box with a song he wrote inside it.

### Erys

When Erys first came to Sharn, Milo hooked her up with a job in the Boromar Clan, and introduced her to someone that could teach her how to be a magewright.

### Saidan Boromar

Milo is more trusting of Saidan than any other member of the Loaded Dice. Saidan helped his family's business, and Milo believes has his best interest at heart. He trusts him enough to share that he thinks Jason is trying to kill him, and that he was the one responsible for the fire that killed Kylie.

## Physical Attributes

Milo is a very inauspicious halfling. He wears simple tan robes and has sandy brown hair of medium length with mutton chop sideburns. There's a nasty scar running from the top of his head to above his right eye.
