Bandagh

Bandagh was an orc from Baldur's Gate, who joined the trio of Varis, Varragh and Harminil following his liberation from the Southern Ward Barracks.

## Early Life

Bandagh was born in Baldur's Gate. His orc parents worked as tanners for years before eventually pursuing their own tannery in Neverwinter when Bandagh was 17. At this point Bandagh set out to be come his own man rather than working at the tannery. He would spend the next years working as an armed guard for various trade caravans travelling between Waterdeep and Calimshan.

## Life in Slavery

One day, the caravan that Bandagh was escorting got ambushed and Bandagh together with the other guards were taken prisoners to Manshaka to be sold to the slave market. Bandagh was sold to Jasseid Hussein, who first took him to Calimport. Bandagh was eventually sold to Waterdeep.

## Liberation

During the First Assault at the Southern Ward Barracks, the trio of Harminil, Varragh and Varis, together with Andala made their way into the dungeon of the barracks. Bandagh was held there with many other prisoners. The trio freed all the prisoners and led them down the sewers. Bandagh survived the escape, unlike Meloon Wardragon and Garth who were killed by the rat king the group encountered. Compared to most of the freed prisoners, Bandagh was eager to fight and joined the party.

## Second Assault at the Southern Ward Barracks

Bandagh fought in the Second Assault at the Southern Ward Barracks, together with Asier, Andala, Feyn and Jerth, alongside Varis, Harminil and Varragh. He fought valiantly and survived the assault. He fled together with Varis and Varragh and sought refuge at Harminil's residence, where he was allowed to stay, despite Harminil not holding orcs in high regard.

## Flight from Waterdeep

After barely able to rest and recover following their battle at the barracks, a large group of guards led by Ulder Cole attempted to arrest the group. While Varis tried to stall Ulder, Bandagh started collecting all the stolen gold. Varragh managed to create a distraction with her magical abilities and Colt Magnus' stolen horn, allowing Harminil and Bandagh to flee eastwards towards the cliffs. Harminil and Bandagh managed to outrun the guards, but were soon faced with a daunting task, free-climbing the cliffs. While Harminil was able to make some decent progress, Bandagh was struggling with the descent. Eventually, Varragh arrived and joined them in their escape attempt, using her rope and pitons. Bandagh lost his footing at one point during the descent, however Harminil was able to catch him and save him from certain death. Harminil, Varragh and Bandagh were able to make it down and continue their way to Daggerford.

## Adventures in Daggerford

Seeing that Bandagh had proved that he can carry his weight in combat, Varragh hired him for his services to the party, and he continued alongside them towards Daggerford. At the Ardeep river, they were reunited with an unconscious Varis, having been severly injured by ballistai fire in Nightstone. Varis was revived by Harminil and the group arrived in Daggerford a few days later.

## Assault on Nightstone and death

While in Daggerford, Varragh managed to negotiate a contract with the duchess of Daggerford, rewarding the group if they cleared Nightstone from the goblins that had taken control of it. Bandagh joined Harminil, Varragh and Varis once again, this time also alongside Harminil's brothers, Tyavos and Vahayon, with whom Harminil had reunited there. Bandagh fought together with Tyavos and Vahayon at the gate of Nighstone, facing the onslaught of goblins and worgs at the gate. With the assistance of Harminil's archery, they were able to stand firm and defeat the goblins and the worgs. Bandagh, still relatively fresh, joined Harminil on their way to the keep to assist Varragh and Varis. After joining forces with them, a group of bugbears attacked the group. One of the bugbears mortally wounded Varis. Bandagh fought as hard as he could to fend off the bugbears, but he too was slain by one of the bugbears.
