Player:Ravoroth

{Ravoroth}

Ravoroth Mohradyllion is a silver dragonborn, Hexblade warlock, and member of The Red Team.

## Story

### Back story

Ravoroth was born somewhere on the continent of Hosinfel. He grew up on a farm with a loving family consisting of his parents and a younger sister. While he didn't shirk his farm duties, he showed far more interest in books and science than milking cows and growing wheat.

When he was about fifteen years old Rav's parents surprised him with the fact they had saved up enough money to send him to study at a nearby academy. The young dragonborn threw himself into his studies, both because of his interest and as to not waste the investment his parents had made. He also tried his hand at music and carriage driving for extra money so his family wouldn't have to worry about running out.

Around the age of eighteen Rav's studies took a brief dip as he was introduced to another dragonborn named 'Rexy'. The pair became a known item around the campus, and they were married in midsummer three years later.

The ceremony was supposed to be brief, but was cut even shorter when the temple came under attack. The event itself was left hazy to everyone involved, but Ravoroth came out of it with most of his loved ones either missing or dead. He has spent his time since searching for any information to help him understand that day, and hoping to find anyone who might have survived.

### Story So Far (No big spoilers)

**Episode 01**

 Having gotten tired of finding no useful information in his travels across Hosinfel, Ravoroth purchased passage on a ship headed for Redemption. On the trip he met Halcer, Nytria, Ojuk, and Zakk.

When the ship made a stop for resupply at Wildhaven, the small group of new acquaintances was asked to help Captain Crimson transport some cargo to a nearby goblinoid village. The village turned out to be plagued by an illness similar to rabies which affects only gobins, and the group set out to find a druid who could offer help. One group of cockatrices and an ankheg den later and the five returned victoriously, cure in hand.

**Episode 02**

One week later the Flaming Dragon was underway again. Ravoroth spent most of the time by himself, until an assassination attempt was made against Captain Crimson. The dragonborn escorted the hobgoblin back to the Captain's Quarters for safety, then went to help figure out who the assassin was.

A thorough search of the ship revealed a barghest on board. The creature had mind controlled the Flaming Dragon's chef and second in command, and was spreading rumors about the captain being a danger in order to feed on the chaos. A fight ensued where both Ojuk and the creature almost died before it teleported away. The group of friends gave chase, cornering the beast on the crew deck and killing it before it could cause more trouble.

Because of all the help they'd been, Captain Crimson gave the five friends a letter of introduction to the God Slayer's Guild. The leader of the Guild, Antonio, was impressed by their story and hired the group on the spot.

**Episode 03**

During the week between adventures Ravoroth tried to get a side job as a scribe, but didn't have much luck. During one of the scant jobs he managed to grab he was contacted by a strange voice, and his journal was modified without his knowledge. It said that he should find a half-elf named Finnigan in order to learn more about what he's lost.

On the party's way to find a dockworker named T'jaqui, Rav pulled Nytria aside and asked her for Ojuk's name. In order to get some information about finding some missing Exiles, Nytria had to agree to a dinner date to with the dock worker. Ravoroth seemed super excited to help the human woman get some fancy clothes.

While waiting for nightfall, Ravoroth easily convinced the group to look for Finnigan. They found the artificer near his shop. As Ravoroth talked with him, the voice came back and demanded that the dragonborn take the half-elf's memories. When he resisted, Rav became sick and felt like he lost something undefined.

Ravoroth walked around in a bit of a daze for the rest of the day, eventually leaving the party to try and get into the Guild's library. He was turned away by the badgerfolk they'd met earlier. He informed them that it was Ojuk who had outed him to T'jaqui.

Unable to find anything at the Guild, he found the rest of Team Red at a salon where a demonic ritual was going on. They killed the ritualist, but unfortunately couldn't save anyone.

**Episode 04**

Ravoroth decided to go visit Finnigan again in the morning. As he was about to knock in the door he was contacted by his 'inner voice', urging him once again to steal the half-elf's memories. This time it was harder to ignore, and he would have fed the other to his patron if the rest of Red Team hadn't arrived when they did.

Snapped out of his state of mind, Rav got into an argument with his patron. He wanted proof of his Rexy still being alive. Instead he was given a vision of the past where the other dragonborn had been mauled to death by a manticore during a failed planeswalking experiment. Farfasfanull the Lich, revealed to be Ravoroth's patron, attacks the party with an illusion of the very same manticore, which nearly kills Rav before it was taken out. Angered, Ravoroth let Finnigan know of the lich's plan to consume his mind before leaving.

The dragonborn wasn't in a proper state of mind for the next couple days, not arguing when the party took on a contract to kill a hill giant for no other reason than it was smarter than the rest.

**Episode 5**

While writing down his daily journal entries, Ravoroth became frustrated and destroyed the Book of Shadows. That night he had very unsettling dreams, and woke up in a panic to retrieve the tome.

Upon turning in the contract for the hill giant, he offered the satyr storekeep a chance to look at the Book of Shadows in exchange for information on dragons and a Belt of Hill Giant Strength. He accepted, not knowing the dragonborn was also negotiating with Farfasfanull to consume the suspect shopkeep.

### Other Information

Ravoroth is reserved and prefers to keep his business as his business. At the same time, he will go out of his way to help those around him who appear to be in need. He will not demand repayment, and will turn it down if it seems the other party is being coerced or is in more need than he is.

## Appearance, Equipment, & Abilities

### Appearance

Ravoroth is a silver dragonborn, though most of his scales have turned white from age. He has wrinkles and weathering on his face, though he looks extremely fit for someone as old as he is. He wears simple travelling clothes, a basic backpack, and carries a well-worn walking stick. Whenever given the time he can be found writing, or reading, his journal; which he treats almost as gently as a new born kitten.

Character colors: White, silver, brown, green, and steel.

### Gear

* Backpack
* Book of Shadows - A gift from his patron which both gives him access to a broader range of spell, as well as information from any of the journals he's written in the past. Located either in his hand or securely in his belt.
* Crystal - His spell casting focus. Attached to a cord around his neck.
* Dagger - A basic travelling dagger which shows little signs of use.
* Healer's Kit - Acquired in Wildhaven
* Ink & Quill
* Leather Armor
* Bag of Sand
* Pan Flute
* Traveler's Clothes
* Walking Stick - Helps him keep his balance on long walks. Also functions as a quarterstaff when necessary.

### Skills

Racial:

* Ice Breath - As a silver dragonborn, Ravoroth can breath a cone of ice at those in front of him.
* Darkvision, 60ft
* Forceful Presence - Ravoroth is based off the Draconblood dragonborn from WotC's *Explorer's Guide to Wildemount*. As such he can gain advantage on Persuasion and Intimidation checks once per short rest.

Background

* All Eyes On You - With the Far Traveler background, Ravoroth gains access to the "All Eyes On You" feature. As such he can more easily gain access to nobles, scholars, merchants, and others who find interest in the exotic or unknown. On the flip side, it is harder for him to pretend not to be himself.

Class

* Hex Warrior - Ravoroth can use his Charisma modifier for attacks and damage with melee weapons instead of Strength or Dexterity.
* Hexblade's Curse - Once per short rest, Ravoroth can curse a target for up to a minute. The target takes extra damage from attacks made by him, and he gets an expanded critical range against them. If the cursed target dies, Ravoroth can regain health equal to his warlock level plus his Charisma modifier.
* Agonizing Blast - Ravoroth can add his Charisma modifier to the damage of his Eldritch Blasts.
* Eyes of the Rune Keeper - Ravoroth can read anything.
* Pact of the Tome - Ravoroth has access to the Book of Shadows, which gives him three extra cantrips from any class in the game.
