## Storyline

Nyllion Stormborn becomes the Listener's Senior Adventurer Mentor and partner after they have passed the entry exam into the Demon Hunter's Guild.

In their conversation, Nyllion starts off rambling about how 'the guys upstairs don't know how to handle things' in the modern times and clarifies that the work of a demon hunter does not consist of fun, games, dragons, dungeons or singing by the campfire, but rather in spending much time in the sewers hunting down acid slugs.

He proceeds to talk about the time he has spent with his former partner, telling the Listener about their death and then introduces himself as Nyllion.

After talking some more about his unusual name, he notifies that the two of them are assigned to hunt down a mage that Nyllion has been observing for four months already.

Nyllion tells them that the mage was first spotted at the Spine Mountains and then he apparently headed south towards Runika according to reports which turned out to be false. Nyllion suggests that if the mage came to Runika, he went through the city unseen. He was then spotted around Laketon and reportedly burned down a village on his way there, taking everything he could. He is now in the city of Laketon running an elicit magic business with the capital he gained from the burned village if Nyllions theory is correct.

Nyllion explains them that they have to make the journey to Laketon to try and capture the mage for the bounty. He informs them that this trip will take about three weeks in which they will be able to get to know each other.

He tells you that if you do a good job he will keep you as his apprentice and ends the conversation by telling the Listener to pack up for the journey.

## Personality

Nyllion is a very unsympathetic character driven by the bounty and what will only benefit himself.

Showing his ruthless side, he seems undaunted by his partner's horrific death after being eaten by leeches when trying to hunt acid slugs considering it as a waste of time and money. He even went as far as to sell his partner's bag for gold to compensate for the lost time, suggesting that he does whatever is most pragmatic.

Nyllion also has a deep rooted hatred for anything elvish. This stems from his parents love of elvish things and them giving him an elvish name which he detests. He also greatly dislikes bards for unknown reasons.

He like that fact that the Listener doesn't ask questions, stays quiet and doesn't mention their payment, which makes them more sympathetic in his eyes.
