—Booyah

**Booyah** is a ranger from the jungles of Xen'drik. After disaster struck his tribe, he was found by the Alukhai drow and taken in as a prisoner. Eladrin saw his potential and made him his assistant, helping with his experiments. After the death of Eladrin, Booyah left with Drakir, Dex, and Beric, and joined in the quest to complete Beric's pact to save the world.

## History

Booyah used to live in a village somewhere near the Ring of Storms, until aberrations came and raided his village. He joined up with a second tribe, who he was a part of for about six months, until that was also attacked. His new tribe made the long trek through the Ring, but only Booyah and two other goblins made it through. They stumbled across the Alukhai tribe, who took them as prisoners. Booyah was released to Eladrin as an assistant, but never saw his two companions again.

### Umbragen

Booyah is first seen helping Eladrin in cave inhabited by the Umbragen. He's seen doing small things like handling dragonshards, but the skills he shows later suggest he helped in more drastic ways.

When the portal opens up from the ritual Eladrin casts to bring Beric back, Booyah fights alongside Dex and the drow in beating back the shadows. After the portal is closed, Dex and Beric struggle with where to go. Stay with the drow to honor Dex's promise, or leave to continue their fight to save the world? Booyah is down for whatever, but he's going with them, despite what Jorlan Duskryn thinks.

### Belashyrra's Offer

In the depth's of Khyber, Belashyrra appears in the dreams of Booyah and his companions. An offer is made: don't speak of him or his deal, and Belashyrra will guide them to one of the Destiny Arms. Booyah accepts.

They're guided to some ruins of an ancient elvish city, and in order to open the sarcophagus that holds the artifact, they each step into separate alcoves - and are shut inside, each by themselves. Belashyrra appears to Booyah, Dex, and Beric. He gives each of them an offer.

For Booyah, he wants to improve Planar Justice. It will be mounted on the shoulder of his armor, and Booyah will be able to fire it quicker. It can be removed and tucked into his armor. Booyah agrees, and Belashyrra modifies the weapon.

"*He gets a third attack? Oh, you're gonna regret that offer.*"
—Philip

### Feebleminded

Booyah's mind is shattered by the Raven. In the battle on Valen's Isle to protect the green dragon, she destroys his intellect and personality with just one spell. After the battle he wanders off and comes upon a giant fruit pile—unfortunately for him, belonging to a dragon turtle. Dex and Beric find him and take him back to the ship, having only been scorched once by the turtle's steam breathe. Booyah seems quite happy with the encounter—he snaged a mango.

Beric and Dex make it their first priority to get Booyah un-feebleminded. Upon returning to Pylas Talaer, they find the House Jorasco enclave and pay the 1500gp to return Booyah's mind.

## Death

Booyah, Dex, Beric, and Bhimanni travel to Dal Quor to make their last stand. They put the Destiny Arms in the eldritch machine, and defend it from the emerging army of quori. They struggle as the creatures come at them from all sides, and Booyah reaches into his bag one last time. He pulls out an old dragonshard that Gerald had used for his experiments. Quori continue their attack on him, and right before he falls, he tosses the shard to Dex.

The machine blows before Dex and Beric can clear it. The three reunite in Dolurrh, and they say their bittersweet goodbyes. Booyah feels the light of the Silver Flame on his cheek, and joins with it.

"*Booyah have no family left. Booyah say you Booyah family. Booyah to die, Booyah to die with family. Booyah love like brother. We do job, we do best can. Booyah proud to know.*"
—Booyah

## The Silver Flame

Booyah has been learning about the Silver Flame for some time, as far back as his days with his tribe in Xen'drik. More recently he became devoted enough to start taking cleric levels and has been gathering what he calls stories about it as often as he can.

### Flamekeep

Booyah is in awe of Flamekeep. He visits it shortly after becoming a convert to the Silver Flame, and treats Jaela Daran with the utmost respect. He asks her about powering up their stones, and she's hesitant to weaken the Flame. Booyah promises to bring it back when they're done with it, but ultimately they decide to wait.
