Yurina Sellenor

A character played by Looweeja in the Fallen Fortress campaign, Christmas Special 2017 and Demon Slayers campaign.

## Backstory

Yurina Sellenor was a merfolk noble from Tongklid City, the capital of The Undersea Nation of Triybasia, and home of the Triybasian Royal Family. Yurina herself was not born from royal blood, but her, her parents and her siblings were all lesser nobles.

Throughout much of her youth Yurina trained to be a paladin, with hopes and dreams of one day conquering the forces of evil both in the sea and on the surface world. She began training at an early age, and even did an exchange program on the surface world where she befriended Torako Naida.

When she was 12 years old, her family was invited to a royal gala with all sorts of other nobles, royals and wealthy sea-folk. During the event, some Terrorists from a neighboring undersea kingdom tried to kidnap the Prince Ollifasan, the heir to the throne of Triybasia. At only 12 years old, Yurina did something no other could've. Kill the scoundrels attempting to kidnap Prince Ollifasan, and in the process win Ollifasan's heart.

This seemed to bring a close to Yurina's time as a paladin, as she was set to marry the Prince. But, only a few weeks before her wedding day came, she and her family were forced to leave as her parents were in debt with Loan Sharks. They fled the city and left for the surface world where the family saw nothing but misfortune. While begging in the streets of some small merchant town Yurina and her parents were taken prisoner by a group of Orcs on a reconnaissance mission from Sp'ain.

Yurina's siblings got away, but Yurina and her parents were forcefully removed. On the journey to Sp'ain, the Orcs decided to eat both of Yurina's parents. Eventually, when they arrived back in Sp'ain, it had recently been taken over by the Forgetful Army, who killed the Orcs and let Yurina join them, although they were never sure why.

## Campaigns

### The Fallen Fortress campaign

Yurina was working with the Forgetful Army when her diety, Gozreh, contacted her and informed her she was to help and aid the Ronnoc Darkflame, Neneik Delaam, Neb Aslo, and Arukas Catsi and most importantly help Ronnoc defeat a dragon.

Shortly after the arrival of Ronnoc, Neneik, Neb, and Arukas in Sp'ain near the end of the Fallen Fortress campaign, just after the death of Alia Darkflame, Yurina approached the party and informed them of her mission and intentions of helping them. Ronnoc, still grieving over the loss of her sister, was quick to dismiss Yurina, but the rest of the group were more or less fine with her addition.

Their time in Sp'ain was cut short by a neighboring kingdom with much larger resources than the Forgetful Army attacked and began invading the city. The party only just barely managed to escape.

With all seemingly lost, the group settled down for the night. While looking back at the wreckage Ronnoc and Neb began talking back and forth about the death of their loved ones there. Yurina remarked "Both of your families died in that city. Hot." Obviously she was suggesting that shared trauma is hot, but nonetheless this weirded out the group.

In their days wandering the desert, they eventually spotted the great Tortoise Vancouver, and began heading towards him.

One night, on their way there, they were ambushed Fire Snake, which the had to fight off. As a hand to hand fighter, Yurina took a back seat.

Upon reaching the massive Tortoise, Yurina spoke with it. It seemed pretty disinterested with her and the rest of the party for the most part. They managed to climb aboard it, however. At this point, Neneik and Yurina began to make friends, as she offered to help him set up a laboratory on the Tortoise's back. Neb began trying to figure out ways to kill the Tortoise for whatever reason, and this led the party to leave.

### Christmas Special 2017

The night after leaving the Tortoise, the party was greeted by a number of Wizards of Shapzar, including Arukas' brother Ryoma.

Yurina was separated from the group, left with a wizard by the name of Yukon Cornelius who offered to duel her in a game of Fortune Cookie Chess. Yurina won and killed Yukon. With her preconceived notion of the world around her, shattered, she headed back to the Tortoise and traveled around the continent. Little is known about this time in Yurina's life, however, she renounced her status as a paladin, as when she showed up next it would be as a barbarian.

### Demon Slayers Campaign

#### Session 1

The party was venturing in the desert, towards a pillar of smoke. Hearing chanting, Yurina and Torako proceeded forwards, doing nothing really to hide behind and came across 20 undead and their leader, on top of a palanquin. They seemed to be escorting a box of unspeakable evil somewhere. Torako Naida threw a rock, signaling Chuck (who had scouted ahead) to attack. Pud, Yurina, and Tora all charged forwards into the midst of the army, Rocc took cover and started picking off enemies, and Chuck threw his Zweihander, Nodachi, and pavilion, which crushed the leader's palanquin and leader with it.

Enraged by the death of their leader, the undead attacked furiously, seriously injuring Tora and Pud. Pud left to help Chuck, while Yurina carried an unconscious Tora away from the scene, and regrouped with everyone.

In the meantime, while Chuck and Tora were unconscious, Yurina set up her pavilion and her folding chairs. When the party members awoke they began to plan their next steps. It was decided they would go through the mountains which admittedly, Yurina though was a bad idea.

They headed off later and climbed up, only Tora seemed to struggle. When they reached the top, they were faced by a herd of goats. Tora made her way through, with Chuck, while Rocc flew Yurina over top of the goats.

On the other side, they met an elderly monk. The old monk introduced himself as Senjin. Yurina was the last to respond. "Yurina Sellenor, the pleasure is all yours."

The rest of her party gave her crap for being so rude, and she stayed quiet. The monk seemed to trust them and led them to the settlement he lives in.

After guiding them through the town, he left and Yurina, Tora and Chuck found their way to a merchant's stand where Neb Aslo happened to be working. They both greeted each other and proceeded to bargain.

#### Session 2

After talking with Neb (and getting his card), the party (minus Chuck, who stayed behind in the town) set back out into the world.

After quite a bit of walking, the group came across a tower. Upon searching the tower, they found a dagger, which Tora detected evil off of. Yurina happily picked it up and suddenly felt the urge to carve into flesh.

She was however persuaded out of doing that and wrapped the dagger in a blanket, which she put into her bag. As they left the tower she felt a brief but painful sharpness cut down on her, but it was fleeting. This made her question keeping the dagger, but she decided to do keep it anyways.

The group ventured on. Tora detected something very evil and lead the group towards it. They came across a beautiful, flowery meadow. In the middle of the meadow was a gold piece. Pud volunteered to investigate it, and upon getting to the piece, was sucked into the ground.

The party began to attack the ground and discovered what it was. Each flower had a bit of ground on it, and underneath that, a hand. The entire ground was held together by their hands. Yurina threw her rope to Pud to try and save him, but unfortunately, the plants took her rope.

The plant-hands formed a massive wave coming right towards the party. Yurina leaped right into it, eager to get her rope back. She went right through the plants and caught onto her rope. The plants began to drag her towards them, meanwhile, she was climbing towards them, unafraid.

She hacked, cut and slashed at them while Rocc used defoliate on the plants. The two of them murdered most of the plants.

Tora and Pud disappeared down a very dark hole in the bottom of the pit beneath the plants. Rocc and Yurina collected a bunch of loot in and around the pit and tried talking to Tora and Pud. They estimated how deep the hole (which was thankfully angled down) and figured they'd need some rope, so they decided to summon Neb Aslo.

Rocc flew **Yurina** up out of the pit to higher ground and they summoned Neb. He looked over the items they had collected including a sword, an axe, and a healing necklace. Then, Rocc and Yurina bought about 800 feet of rope (to be safe) and climbed down into the pit and into the hole.

They were eventually reunited with their other party members and discover more down here.

In one cave they come across more ooze-based life, which only Pud can speak to. It is largely unhelpful, as it and the other oozes in the cave had never left.

They journeyed onto the next cave inside to find 3 Mages and some cronies.

#### Session 3

Face to face with the Mages, the group sprung to action.

Right off the bat, Yurina managed to slice two of the mage's cronies into bits and went to attack the mages. However, she, unfortunately, wasn't prepared for the amount of magic portals the Mages would throw at the party.

Throughout the combat, Yurina spent her time initially dodging the portals.

She did almost get stuck in an orange hexagonal portal, but Rocc saved her by grabbing onto her tail. He threw her at one of the Mages and she tried to stab him with her cursed dagger, but he knocked it out of her hand. She still landed on top of the Mage, who turned into a greasy white fluid and crawled away. Rather than attack, Yurina proceeded to help Rocc pull Tora (and Pud) out of the sky dimension, and wound up with Rocc's rope.

However, after a close call with another portal, she ducked for cover and fell to the ground, smacking the right side of her face against a large rock, dislocating her jaw, breaking a couple of teeth, and causing head trauma.

While in shock, she was shot into a portal with a disco pocket dimension inside it. She danced and floated around to the beat. A few drops of her blood crystalized into diamond shaped objects. In a dazed state, she tried to invite the rest of the party in. Rocc managed to pull her out, and Yurina (still holding the robe) funked out to the beat and finished the final Mage off (as the other two had been defeated already).

The party collected what they items they could (Yurina found her dagger again) and headed back to town. The climb out of the pit exhausted Yurina, and Tora carried her quite a ways until they set up camp for the night.

The next day, upon arriving in the town, Yurina went to see a Cleric about fixing her teeth. He managed to put them back into her gums and she used the healing necklace to fix up the rest of it.

After that, she met back up with the rest of the party as they talked to Neb Aslo about the blood crystals. He was willing to pay 5 gold for each of them, however, she decided she wouldn't take less than 10 gold each for them, and didn't sell them.

The party headed back out, although, after quite a bit of walking Yurina collapsed, apparently still suffering from some of that head trauma. They rested for an hour and then headed out again.

They came to the ruins of a town, where they camped for the night.

They continued on further, until late the next night, they heard something. Yurina and Pud went to inspect to and found the undead chanting in an awful tongue, torches aligned in a circle around the ceremony, with horrific shadows visible in the flames. In the center of the atrocious sight, placed on top of a large rock, was the box.

#### Session 4

Tora and Pud leaped into battle, all guns blazing (figuratively), with Rocc staying behind to peg off undead cultists. Yurina followed Tora and Pud, as each member began to take out the cultists, each decayed corpse rising into the air.

Everything seemed to be going well until each party member entered the circle of torches. Down to the awful forces which the undead were dealing with, each member was forced to make a will save. Yurina was unlucky and ran screaming from the circle.

Pud had the idea to attack the torches, and the group began focusing on the torches more than the cultists. With this, some spirits, which looked like a black tarry substance, arose from within the box and began to follow and attack the party members. Tora and Rocc successfully evaded it, while Pud hid in some fire, but Yurina was not so lucky.

The tar possessed her and turned her against the group. The shadow spirit which possessed her allowed for her to moved insane distances on the battlefield. She managed to attack Rocc while he was in the air and struck him so fiercely that she almost knocked him unconscious with just one stroke.

Tora proceeded to use her fire breath directly at the biggest gathering of the tar which was above the box. It seemed to do the trick, making sure no other evil spirits would affect the battle, as a final act however the rest of the tar grouped together and possessed Tora's mind as well.

With Rocc fleeing Yurina turned her attacks over to Pud, who opted to back away from the circle in hopes that the grip on Yurina's mind might weaken and have her return to her senses.

As this was happening the cultists, still chanting, managed to move onto step two of the ritual when a big marble pillar started rising above the battlefield from the box. This massive surge of dark energies snapped Tora to her senses, when she used her magic sword to charge at the pillar, ripping a sizable chunk off the ever-growing tower and hurtling 50 feet towards Pud and Yurina, Yurina having supernatural mobility from the shadow spirit, effortlessly moved to the side, Pud wasn't as lucky and was completely floored by the heavy paladin. The chunk of marble began to mould around the two of them making a massive suit of armor.

Yurnina bowed to the armor, worshipped it like an overlord and praised it for its fine work. Pud and Tora, trapped inside, combined their efforts to escape, which they did.

At this point, Yurina also managed to fight off the shadow spirits and came to her senses, with no memory of going anti-party. Yurina and Tora destroyed the armor and returned to the scene of the battle with Pud, healed Rocc and finished off the rest of the cultists.

After recuperating from the battle and the party investigated the box, which was now an obelisk around 40 feet tall and *very* evil. Pud sensed that the tower was waiting for something, so Pud wanted to wait as well. The other members of the group wanted to press onwards instead in order to find some recruits to watch the place in their stead which and it was agreed that Tora's tiger would remain to watch while they were gone. The group traveled northward in search of some outposts where they hope to find some people.

#### Session 5

The party traveled back to The Ratpack, to see about acquiring some guards to keep watch over the Obelisk. However

This session started off with the group at the Ratpack preparing to head off, Rocc went over to Pud and gave him a magic skull, which after placing it inside Pud the baby fire demon took it and placed it onto his head, granting him the ability to speak. The baby introduced himself as the Oracle of Flame which gave some sage advice about Yurina's knife and demon mark (which the baby remarked, was 'well crafted'),and generally being helpful. Then Tora the paladin was complaining a bunch and being salty as all hell people weren't obeying whatever she said then threw the innocent baby out of the town, along with Pud. then they both rejoined the group after they leave the town to go on a recruiting mission.

(lotta stuff happened not concerning Pud, read the other character entries (that are *definitely* filled in) for what happened on their way to the town)

Once at the decrepit town the group decided to head into the caves where they found an oddly hunched statue in the middle of an underground lake that the group (Pud included) felt rather familiar to them, after some snooping they found an old woman who apparently was there for over 150 years. Pud with some help from the rest of the group took the lady back to the town in the sunlight, when there the lade said she remembered way more people down there. So when the adventurers went further into the cave they eventually rescued more than 60 people all told. The gang was feeling rather pleased with themselves, that is, until they woke up in a building inside the town that they didn't sleep in. Thoroughly creeped out the group went outside to a newly refurbished town with only the adventurers being suspicious. That is how the session ended.

#### Session 6

The session started of with the group heading into the cave to investigate the strange refurbishing the town went through, and the group thought the weird statue and the underground lake was involved. Once down there Yurina quickly chopped the statue into several pieces and threw them into the lake, which caused the pieces to form a cocoon of sorts where living versions of the statue was being created. Which were then dragged out of the water. Tora and Rocc instantly wanted to dissect them in order to figure out what was inside them. But since Pud didn't want to stand idling by while the group killed several babies he quickly placed them inside himself, just like the flame oracle. However Pud managed to quickly take one away, and quickly started cutting off limbs, but as it turns out the fetus couldn't die, so Pud allowed the rest of the group to experiment on the other babies, since it seems they can't be killed. However none of their experiments on the babies turned up any info. They then moved their focus onto the lake itself so Pud was instructed to function as a sponge and try to absorb as much of the water as possible, which didn't amount to much except to turn Pud into more of a milky white colour.

Since the party ran out of leads they decided to stay in town for a couple of days while Rocc scouted the surrounding area to see if anything else changed while they slept. Pud spent his time slowly emptying the lake of its contents little by little, and at the end of the third day the lake was around a quarter gone.

Rocc then returned with news about the Obelisk was being surrounded with members of the demon kings army, like the cultists and more undead minions. And so the group wanted to be off Just then however a group of three witches were talking nearby urging them to stay for one more night in the town. With a little apprehension the group nervously waited for the rest of the day, until they see a bonfire up the mountains, Pud and Yurina went to investigate to determine if it was safe or not. After a little talk with the witches it seems they were sent to give the party a gift and so Pud went back down the mountain in order to bring Tora and Rocc up to the mountain.

When they arrived back the party was in full swing with muffins and a cauldron in the middle. The witches then started chanting but instead of words it was instead weird trippy music echoing out. The group joined in the chant and was soon lifted off the ground and spinning. During this time the witchs were throwing things into the cauldron. With the Group members unwillingly following suit, with Pud throwing in some gold, and most regrettably, the flame oracle which cased a huge blast of fire to issue out of the cauldron. Everything really got out of hand however when Yurina threw in one of her fortune cookies, causing the party, besides Rocc and the witches to be taken up into a U.F.O..

The group then found themselves in a strange room with turquoise windows looking down to the ground below. Tora knew of a prophet who spoke of this land. That person was in fact: Reuben. After a few minutes of deliberation a bright light appeared at the top of the room, with Pud going into the light thinking that he died.

They then came into a room where a humanoid made of light approached them, and proceeded to take of their hands and head. It said that we were the chosen heroes meant to restore balance disrupted by the demon king and his forces. The figure even provided contracts for the group to sign granting them an aura of lawfulness which Pud and the rest signed without hesitation. It then made Pud into a perfectly square individual, instead of his rather rounded form before. The negotiations were going quite well, but once again Yurina threw a fortune cookie at the being, which caused all of us to return to where we were, next to the witch and the cauldron, with Rocc nowhere to be seen. Pud then demanded Yurina to hand over her one remaining fortune cookie, as they have caused too much destruction in her hands.

Back near the witches they proceeded to conjure a portal, saying that wasn't supposed to happen and that they were hired by Tora's dad to assist them in this way. They also granted each party member 3 questions about the future that they could ask. Pud's three questions were: 1. Without our interference when will the obelisk do anything/what it was meant to do, anything like that. To which (haha pun) the witches responded with barring your interference, two weeks. Pud's second question was much the same: What is the maximum amount of time that if we haven't stopped the demon king by that point, all hope is lost and the king is unstoppable? The witches replied with two years. Now with what Pud thinks the important questions out of the way, he asks what will the fortune cookie do when he cracks it open? As he witnessed firsthand how chaotic and unpredictable they are. The witches told Pud that breaking open the cookie it would bring a noble named Dicnhorse back to life. Having answered all their questions, the witches gave them one more gift, they used a paintbrush to write a marking into the groups hand (or body in Pud's case) which gave them a free hex from the witch class. Pud could now talk with all animals. That is where the session ended.

#### Session Nine

Yurina showed up at the tail end of this session, right after the group exists the Witchmarket to function as a cliff hanger.

#### Session Ten

This session started with Yurina quickly getting into combat with her previous group, after launching a quick series of blows at Tora, Yurina quickly switched up her strategy, dissolving into numerous "mini-ina's" and mind controlled most of the group, besides Ronnoc Darkflame and Lovemuffin (Tora's pet tiger) who escaped.

Now becoming the rightful leader of the group Yurina led her two minions to Ratpack, where they quickly eviscerated every single living soul there. When the two weakling finally came to they were shocked by what they have done, while Yurina was complimenting them on how good they were at killing loads of innocents. Yurina wanted the celebrations to continue, and had Zeke tell Yurina where the nearest populated town was, which was where the party rescued all those people in the tunnels around a fortnight ago.

With their shadow-stepping capabilities Yurina and the party made it to the town exceptionally fast, making it at around mid morning, where most people were still in their beds. Yurina thought of it as a piece of cake and Yurina watched as Zeke and Tora went door to door killing each and every person. Then setting their houses on fire for good measure. It's important to note that unlike last time at rat pack, Zeke and Tora were of their own free minds when doing this, proving that Yurina was an exceptional leader by inspiring her underlings to achieve great things.

After demolishing yet another hamlet, Tora got a message from her uncle Able Naida sending her a contract that was all about having sex. Yurina thinking fast, quickly signed the contract instead, by of course transforming into a look alike of Tora using her Hat of disguise. Able not noticing, (or perhaps not caring?) left with her instead.

### The Zorg Heart Heist

Yurina hired Marina Yelra, Claudia Bistil, Viperwolf, Shadowblade, Lowen Benny, and their multiple companions to steal the Heart of Zorg artifact while disguised as Grayman. Using this identity, Yurina employed numerous adventuring parties to track down artifacts and weapons that could aid The Demon King in her quest for dominance over all of Pthfnder.

She met the party of this campaign in a Tavern and instructed them to steal the Heart of Zorg for her. They were to meet up with a scout she sent, Dr. Mr. Squiglioso, but that was really a lie.

Squiglioso had been part of a previous adventuring party who had failed to capture the Heart of Zorg. The rest of the party either died or managed to escape. Squiglioso had somehow managed to inform Yurina of the events and she organized to send another party up.

When the latest party returned with Squiglioso they were all rewarded handsomely. When asked who she was, Yurina threw back the cloak she had been using to disguise herself and revealed who she was to them. None of them recognized her obviously, but it's worth noting that she looked quite unwell, as some bits of her seemed become semi-translucent, faded almost, and other bits seemed to be ash-like and floating around her. It is unclear if this is still the damage done from her encounter with Gene, Drascilla Marcavius and Fuji from Demon Slayers session twelve, but she is nonetheless, less of her former undead self.
