Leku

**Leku** is an NPC on *Another Bad Side Quest.* She is a Tortle, described only as a Tortle woman with similar moss like Seren. She is the sister of Seren.

**Ep. 3 - Down the Hatch**

Leku was first referenced, not by name, by Seren when talking about his childhood, describing how he and her were taught by their parents for four years before they died.

**Ep. 5 - The Burrow**

She was also vaguely referenced, not by name, when Seren asked Ob if he has seen a tortle in *The Underdark* before. Ob mentioned he saw one, possibly female, in *Quarry Hold* when he first came to *The Underdark* 80 years ago, and were mossy like Seren. On further question by Ob as to Seren's interest, he confirmed the tortle in question was his sister and that they had been separated over a 100 human years ago. Ob suggested Seren to go to *Hall of Emeralds* in *Quarry Hold*, as a possible source for more information.

**Ep. 7 - Quarry Hold**

Leku was later more overtly mentioned by Seren when he and Tabernacle visited the *Hall of Emeralds* in *Quarry Hold*, under the direction of Ob who said the hall would have record of just about everyone and everything that happened in the city. Inside they met with Counsellor Alabaster Xerex, who after being asked of her, pulled out a record card which noted a Tortle by the name of Leku came to the city 83 years ago, resided for 5 years, stayed at the *Shadow Monastery*, then left and didn't return.

More information was revealed when Seren accompanied Yashani to the *Shadow Monastery* later that day, and met with Chuluu, a duergar master shadow monk. Seren learned she came to learn that Leku came to train, learn their ways and and how to access the Shadow Plane to find something, causing obvious distress and fear in Seren, in enough that his purple glow was snuffed out as he wandered what she was looking for and if it was possibly him she was searching for. Chuluu mentioned that he was unaware if she had succeeded, but noted she spoke with some of the *Miner's Guild* members and recommended speaking with Cobbeel for more information.

**Ep. 8 - Memories**

Leku was mentioned very briefly in Seren's conversation with Yashani, where he spoke his worry that she was now in a dark place, because of him. He also mentioned his belief that she was an even greater light then he was.

Seren also mentioned in his story to the group, that he and Leku started travelling the world together, but became separated early in their travels.

**Ep. 12 - Forewarned & Forgotten**

Seren learned from Cobbeel from the *Miner's Guild* that when Leku had asked the miners about a way to the Shadow Plane, Cobbeel told Leku no and had sent her back to the surface to keep her from trying herself. Seren is relieved to hear as much and asks where she might have been headed from there and Cobbeel tells him that she was headed in the direction of *Kra'Kash*.

Chuluu mentioned her again in slight passing before they left Masq's shop, on top of everything else, for Seren to find his sister.

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

While they headed to *The Embassy* in *Kra'Kash*, the party had to walk through the *Vayilcor Circus*. Seren stopped a circus employee and, with the help of a gold coin, learned a solo Tortle with a similar bioluminescent glow to Seren had wandered through a few years prior, but the employee hadn't caught her name.

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

Leku was mentioned, not by name, when Seren asked Kylan on *The Misty Moon* if he had seen a tortle before in *Kra'Kash*, and recommended he go to see Miasma in the *Clockwork Castle* in *Vayilcor*.

She was referenced again when Seren cited own personal reason of going to *Vayilcor*, as well as to find information on the devilish trio. She was referenced one last time, when after being asked by Yashani when he didn't attempt to contact her magically, Seren noted he wanted their first meeting to be face to face, but admitted he had attempted it in the past had recieved no reply and was unsure if the messages were getting to her.

**Ep. 20 - The Shipyard Shuffle**

Leku was referenced, not by name, when discussing plans of where to go Tabernacle asked Seren where his last lead to his sister was, and Seren replied that the trail ran cold in *Kra'Kash* and *Vayilcor* was his next option.

**Ep. 21 - Departure**

Leku was mentioned, not by name a few times when the group parted with Seren, the first being when Yashani voiced her hope that he would be able to find her. which Seren replied that if Kenala wished it, it would be so. She was mentioned again by Alaerith who frustrated asked why he couldn't just find her instead of being told to do other things, and he replied that he missed her very much but was called and had to obey. Alaerith referenced her, giving no promise, but said if he heard word of a female tortle he would try to find out. She was referenced the last time when Seren said he saved a greeting for when he saw her the first time and asked them if they saw her to tell her from him

*"I see you, and I know you."*

**Ep. 55 - Time Takes All**

Leku spoke briefly to Seren, just before his passing when he finally decided to cast *Sending* to tell her *"Dear sister, I wished to greet you in person and I never stopped looking. I know you and I pray I will find you*." and she replied *"Sometime soon. I see you."*
