## Life

### Pre-Campaign

Little is known about Samson, but Mother Alessandra informed the party that his sister also worked at the chapel before being seriously injured by Ben during one of his treatments, and had to be sent back to the mainland to heal.

### Asking for Help

The party comes to the King's Hand to spend the night after being banned from Hangman's, and find Samson awkwardly cleaning the chapel. Mother Alessandra informs the party that Samson has been assigned the night watch, so they may make use of his room for the night, before she encourages Samson to continue his duties. Samson seems to be quite nervous and in need of reassurances often.

After Mother Alessandra explains the ring to the party, she goes to her room, and Qil asks Samson if he could tell him more about Cide. Although not a natural storyteller, Samson obliges, and shares what little he knows about Cide and the other gods of the King's Hand pantheon.

When Yuot appears, at the chapel, Samson becomes very flustered, and is slightly awkward with the sexual tension in the room. He takes this opportunity to duck outside, but not before Qil tells him that he should come wake him if there is any trouble during the night.

Samson later wakes Qil, and he seems very afraid and nervous. He tells Qil that he didn't want to wake the other party members as they make him uncomfortable, but that he likes Qil and needs his help. He leads Qil to the cemetery, where he tells him that his parents died young, and so he wasn't able to attend Hireath Academy as he'd wanted, and had instead come to Aodra because the crown was paying people to settle here. Qil commiserates, as he also lost his parents young.

Samson then shows Qil a book that he has spread out under the tree, and explains that he got it when he went to the beach one night and heard a beautiful sound calling him to the water. He dove underwater but recalled little else until he awoke the next morning on the beach with the book in his possession. He began studying it during nights he was on watch, and discovered it was full of spells. He returned to the water another night, and swam until he discovered a grotto, where weird mushrooms were growing. He harvested them and brought them back to use to cast a spell.

He used the Cide ring, the mushroom, and some bones to cast what he thought was a spell for prolonged life, but since casting is has been able to hear voices which are incredibly upsetting to him. He begs Qil to help him, and to make the voices stop, and Qil tries to comfort the young man. Qil buries the book under the tree, and tries to get Samson back into the chapel, while voices begin to be heard on the wind. Qil leaves Samson near the door of the chapel and goes to fetch the ring, but it is snatched by a skeleton emerging from the ground. A zombie also erupts from the earth, and a battle begins.

After the battle, Samson mysteriously dissapears.
