## Biography

### The GreyRot Shard

Armentel had been traveling with some other adventurers (Manawyd, Calix, Dordlo, Rineth, and Gahildorir) for a short while before the group was requested by Mayor Abigail Bolton of the town of Sweetwater. The town was being plagued by some sort of strange water-borne disease which the party discovered was being caused by a strange stone referred to as a Greyrot Shard. In their mission to remove the shard, the party faced off against a pair of strange, diseased bears, which they discovered were driven out of their cave by a band of goblins. At first, the party managed to fight the goblins off, but they soon regrouped and redoubled their efforts. In the scuffle, both Dordlo and Rineth were heavily wounded, enough so that Armentel had to carry the elf to safety.

The party returned to the mayor, only to find that she already had visitors from United Mercenaries and Adventurer's Association (UMAA). After some discussion, the shard was passed off to Norlond, and the party agreed to accompany him to Spire City. But first they would take a few days to rest and recuperate. During this time Calix and Armentel, who had contracted the disease Greyrot Weakness during their adventure in Sweetwater, were healed by the cleric Robierre.

### Spire City

Upon arriving to Spire City, Armentel took notice of how a majority of the unskilled labor such as cargo loading, security, and taxis was being performed by Mechanized, despite the fact that there were many poor and unemployed seeking jobs in the city. Still, they continued on to UMAA headquarters, where they learned more about the shards, and were offered a job to track down lost shipments of Blessed Sands.

The party did some exploration within the city, visiting Johnald Humanman's Emporium of Esoterics and Essentials, and learning about the existence of the Midnight Bazaar. They were also introduced to Chef Ku'minn Ko'riandr, a Kobold chef employed by UMAA. Armentel offered to assist the chef with a large catering order, and revealed himself to be quite handy in the kitchen. He prepared a perfect risotto, and in return, the chef gave him an invitation to the Midnight Bazaar.

At the Bazaar, the party managed to grab a few treats, avoid a few people, and set eyes upon their target of the Blessed Sands. Though they had considered simply attempting to bid on the items, they quickly discovered that it was far out of their price range, and tried to come up with an alternative solution. However, before they were able to make a plan, a crate from the Centaur Khanate burst open and a pair of displacer beasts leapt out. Before anyone could react, the displacer beasts leaped upon Gahildorir, tearing him limb from limb, killing him. Armentel and Dordlo did their best to draw the beast's attention while the others continued looting. In the scuffle, the beasts also managed to mortally wound the auctioneer, Boondiggles. Armentel healed him with a Healing Word, and in return Boondiggles agreed not to interfere with the shipments of Sands.

Although the rest of the party decided to go onwards on more adventures, Armentel felt that he had found his true calling with chef Ko'riandr. Whether that as a Sous Chef, a Waiter, a romantic partner, or a Menu item varies by who's telling the story.
