Kylan Desmar

**Kylan Desmar** is an NPC on *Another Bad Side Quest*. He is a Human, described as a tall human man, with a mop of ginger curls, a neatly trimmed beard and pockmarked face, who wears a nice captain's coat. He is the Captain of *The Misty Moon* and the adoptive father figure to both Quincy and Kerrack.

**Ep. 1 - Acquaintances in the Underbelly**

Kylan was first mentioned by Nomzyo when Quincy introduced herself to him, noting her as one of "Kylan's crew". Nomzyo also offered the help of Morgan, telling Quincy that if Kylan ever came through *The Underbelly* that he would get word to him and hopefully word would be waiting for Quincy if she made it back from handling the ghast problem.

**Ep. 3 - Down the Hatch**

When Nomzyo confronted the party in the lair of the Necrophage Ghast, for the theft of his father's books, the assault on Cofin and disrespect to himself, he gave them the option of death or to take their chances in *The Underdark*, noting that "they" would be hard pressed to lose an asset, referring to Quincy, and mentioned Kylan's name as Quincy climbed down the ladder to *The Underdark* as he hoped Kylan taught her well, because she would need it if she hoped to survive.

**Ep. 13 - No Rest For The Wicked**

Kylan was mentioned by Damen, when she had been taken on to *The Misty Moon* Quincy that their captain would not be happy that is seemed like Quincy didn't intend to stay with the ship now that she was back. He also told them Kylan at this point was out on the docks of *Kra'Kash* looking for crew to replace those lost in the attack that threw Quincy from the ship.

Quincy looked for Kylan in *The Broken Mast* bar while the party searched for a way to help save *Kra'Kash* from ruin, but did not find him. Killian and Quincy did learn from the barkeep there that a man matching Kylan's description had garnered the attention of someone in the bar and had gone to *The Butcheries* for an unknown reason.

**Ep. 14 - Magical Markings & A Misty Moon**

Though not mentioned by name, Kylan being the captain of Quincy's crew, was onboard *The Misty Moon* as it escaped from *Kra'Kash* as it burned down.

**Ep. 15 - Desmars & Drake Hunting**

Kylan was mentioned briefly when Killian enquired on having a chance to talk with Kylan. He was officially introduced to the group when he entered the Mess Hall, where he addressed Quincy by her full name and demanded to know where she had been. Quincy introduced Kylan to the group and vice versa when Yashani noted the matching last names, and Quincy told her it was much like adoption, with Kylan adding that there were a few Desmars onboard. Kylan and Quincy displayed an 'exasperated parent to unruly child dynamic' as Quincy recapped some of her time away from the ship, which was enough reason for Kylan to assume that the issue of Kra'Kash was also connected to her. He also informed Quincy of the fates of some of the crew since the attack that left her missing, including his own slowly occurring blindness. Kylan also offered location ideas for the group to be dropped off, and the use of the ship until they decided and reached a destination, before being interrupted by the sounds of kelp drakes on deck, which he then asked the group to take care of while he would keep their provisions being destroyed by other ones.

**Ep. 16 - Tales from a Dead Man**

After the encounter with the kelp drakes on the deck, Quincy rushed to the cargo hold when she heard gunshots. Kylan and the rest of the crew that fought in the hold were found alright and Kylan agreed to Tabernacle's idea to keep a few of the kelp drakes to catch something later on. When the 2 were alone afterwards, Quincy checked if it was a good time to fill in on what happened, which he agreed with, before asking about the women from *The Wandered Eye* and mentioned that *Vayilcor* might be a good place for them.

He was seen in the Mess later, with Damen and Kerrack, and took pretty well to Quincy and the rest of the party's explanation of the last week, with the exception being their dealing with Nomzyo and that he might now owe him a favor, their run in with the devilish trio and the Ruined Moon marks, before telling the group to decide where they intend to go and leaves the Mess for them to discuss.

He was mentioned by she , not by name, when he told Quincy to tell her father they had made a decision for their destination.

**Ep. 17 - Krapjess**

Kylan, as *The Misty Moon* made its way to the docks of *Krapjess* to drop off the party, told the party it had been a nice trip with them, and also countered Tabernacle's claims that he had emptied his pockets and that he had a lot more then that. He also explained he and the crew would not be staying long as they had to explain to their employers what happened in *Kra'Kash*. When shown the letter that Nomzyo would like sent to Flamecannon at the *Drunken Lantern*, Kylan read it and handed it back saying it should get there as soon as possible. When the topic of the bare knuckle boxing came up, he commented that the champion there had been undefeated a month or so. Kylan also told the group that he would be looking for a new desk from a man named Nickels in *Krapjess*.

Killian pulled Kylan aside and asked if he met with *The Crimson Head*, a ship Killian use to captain under the name Red, and it's crew of, to let them know that "Red" was alive and planned to take the ship down, which Kylan agreed to. He also informed him that the new captain also took the name "Red", and added that he hoped they were taken down as they didn't do good business with anyone, except for the Puhan Trading Company. When Killlian told him to keep himself safe in *Zhai,* Kylan reassured him that Ashenvalda and his former first mates always had a place to stay.

Before they parted, Kylan demanded a hug good-bye from Quincy as last time she was thrown from the ship and didn't get a proper hug last time. Kylan then walked off proudly after having won a teasing conversation with his adoptive daughter about her missing finger tip, before he swiftly returned and said his proper good-byes to the rest of the party, with 1 last uncomfortable impact when Quincy joked RX could be considered a grandson.

**Ep. 17.5 - Captain Flame Cannon**

Kylan was mentioned a few times in Quincy's conversation with Flamecannon. He was first mentioned when Quincy realised from Kylan's conversation that he was aware of Flamecannon's true nature, and hadn't mentioned anything out of respect and privacy. He was mentioned again when Quincy brought up how Kylan had bought her first drink at 15 and won money on her first match within the *Drunken Lantern*, and later on when Flamecannon remembered the first time he met Quincy when she had been picked up by Kylan.

Kylen was mentioned when Damen arrived to the *Drunken Lantern,* told Quincy and the group that he hadn't returned to *The Misty Moon* and that he should have returned after seeing Nickels about his desk and passing by Lonnie at *The Shipyard*.
