## Leslie Winn

### Affiliation

Second-In-Command of the Storm

Leslie Winn is the Acting Leader of The Storm in Ferrenport while Marquett recovers from their torture at the hands of slavers, and is rushed but good-hearted member of the group.

### Personality

Leslie is known for frequent moments of anxiety, but is an otherwise capable fighter and scribe, ready to put their skills to the test when needed. They enjoy the company of friends and allies, and when they have those around are inclined to create detailed plans to overcome any issue for the benefit of their group.

### History

Leslie called a party of adventurers to their office to rescue their chief who had been kidnapped by slavers. When asked why they could not go out and complete the mission themselves, they told the party they did not have the time nor the manpower to spare, being only 5 people total, 4 without their leader.

Leslie was extremely greatful to the party for returning their leader, and after receiving an earful from Marquett, promoted Victor, Risa, Sparkle, Alamaya and Joe into the ranks as honorary members of the Storm.

Leslie then, in a different mission (Quest: Turnabout Squirrel) asked a party of adventurers to settle a border dispute between two women a little way out of town as a training mission. After some miscommunication, the party deduced that Katie's ex-pet squirrel, whom they had dubbed Pete, was responsible after having a magic potion dumped onto them by accident. The party relieved Pete of their life, and the two women thanked them for their help. Leslie then added Sir Darenfell, Marley, Mallius and Dakkos as honourary members of the Storm, joining the already-crowned Risa, Joe, Alamaya, Sparkle and Victor.

Now official questgivers working underneath the Vanguards, Leslie sent a group out (Quest: Wrath of the Bee-he-moth) to defeat a large flying creature described only to the group as a 'behemoth' creature, that was currently residing at Palacartes Farm. After approaching the farm, the party learnt that the creature really was a behemoth, or more specifically a Bee-he-Moth (a massive bee-moth hybrid) that was wrecking havoc on the farm. Leslie rewarded the party handsomely for their efforts.

Then, after the Bee-He-Moth, the party was sent out once again to Palacartes farm to defeat another creature, this time given a description by Leslie after complaints about being too vague last time: A Dragonsquirrel (Quest: This Seems Familiar...). The party was also informed by them that Palacartes Farm had been turned into more of an outpost. The party does so, after communing with the DS for a little bit, and is rewarded well.

On a rushed request, the party is asked to join Leslie on their boat to defeat a number of Vampire Sharks swarming around the waters of Ferrenport (Quest: Sylvia! What are you doing with that shark!). The party joins, getting ahead of the mercenaries trying to claim the sharks for themselves, and defeat the sharks, taking some home to cure injured folks. However, the mercenaries aboard their ship turn on the party, and while the party was able to successfully defeat them, they brutally murdered all other Storm aboard, which really hurt Leslie's emotional wellbeing, even after they praised Nycaloth for their help.

Meeting with the party during Quest: It's Growlnd Hog Day, they got the party up to speed on the Growlnd Hog itself, insisting that the creatures in question had a leader, a larger one capable of creating the hole that the party was to make their way through, and responsible for destroying the house. They took offence to Wes' comments about them not being strong enough. After the little ones were defeated, Leslie directed 6 members of the Storm to lead the party as they headed into the tunnels, despite the parties' protests. Only 2 of the 6, namely Erica and Finn, returned alive.

The were the questgiver on Quest: Quit Buggin Me Out, after informing the party that Gorn, Bjorn and Marquett had made a collective decision to close down Palacartes Farm, citing all of the deaths, and that Marquett had gone north to convince the other branches of the Storm that their stories were not made up. They rewarded the party well for their help, and in a drabble, successfully convinced more members of the Storm to join them.

During the events of the RP Event- Goodest of Boys, they directed the guard to attack on a signal, and healed both Dov and Gabriel from accidental attacks.

In Quest - Thunder and Lightning Are Very, Very Frightening, they were the questgiver, telling the party that the Storm were abandoning their headquarters in Ferrenport after they could no longer justify the number of deaths in Ferrenport to their superiors. They joined forces with the party to defeat the Leech-ah, but realised too late that the party was given poisoned potions. They were discovered after the quest having been killed, with a message implying that Leslie was a traitor to the Storm organisation.

After this, in an RP Thread - I Can See Clearly Now, The Rain Has Gone... , Levi was somehow able to revive Leslie, who revealed while under (supposedly) a Zone of Truth, that the Storm had killed them, and that their mission was to revive Nycaloth, their leader and god, before explaining a number of important details about Nycaloth, while absolving themselves of wrongdoing from the betrayal. They informed Levi that they didn't know anything about a Cyan, but was defensive about the Storm due to their long time as a member.
