Jexi Ironfield

**Jexi Ironfield** is a large panther leonin from the Runehammer Prideclan found in the Underworld. He debuted during the first campaign to aid the Unfavored Odds against a small drow raiding party containing two drow and a purple worm. He seemed to prefer to utilize his estranged shield and various improvised weaponry in most of his fights. He loved to aid others and would charge into the fray when trouble is about.

### Swordbreak's Annual Sword Tournament

Upon the party's arrival to Swordbreak for the first time, they prepare for the very thing they came for. That city holds an annual tournament to have a victor proclaim themselves as one of the best swordsmen or swordswomen throughout the entire plane of Venigus. Jexi did little to prepare for such a tournament as he explored what the city had to offer.

When the tournament was on the horizon, Jexi offered to fight fairly with any sword given to him since he does not own a sword. Findra granted him a sword she crafted for the tournament among others she would sell. Once the tournament was underway, Jexi wiped the floor with most of his opponents heading to the finals.

During the finals, Jexi fought the son of the Dragonslayer, a goliath that is a knight using runic magic from giants. Regardless, Jexi proved victorious upon the surrender of his opponent shortly after a shadow giant rune activated in an attempt to hinder Jexi. Curious was the crowd, yet no one is sure what happened within the magical darkness that appeared in the arena. Jexi's next opponent was Silveral, son of the greatest swordsman of Venigus, Silveros.

The fight was magnificent and proved to be the longest fight in the entire campaign (lasting two minutes). Back-and-forth, the two warriors fought throughout every area of the arena. The crowd was going berserk with excitement, while the two exchanged blows and drank supreme potions of healing. Ultimately, Jexi's might proved superior to Silveral's dexterous fighting style. Jexi became that year's champion.

### Disappearance

During the 44th session of the first campaign, the Unfavored Odds and Jexi were vanquishing the fallen deva in the underground unknown manor/fort located in the southern mountains surrounding Swordbreak. In the midst of the chaos, cultists were escaping through a portal conjured by them and the fallen deva. Jexi quickly targets the fallen deva as his foe throughout the fight and keeping it and some cultists away from the party. Misfortune struck as Anderious, Teriel Brightstar, and Zeldana entered the portal with enemy reinforcements nearing the chamber. The three of them found a central point of numerous colored portals marked with different runes.

Findra and Jexi slay the fallen deva, and they make haste to the surface, Teriel Brightstar enters ones of the many portals, and Anderious and Zeldana come face-to-face with a member of the Circle to reinforcement the enemy (see Zeldana's page for more). Findra and Jexi make it to the surface, but they encounter Lilith Changebearer and her angelic retinue. Jexi yelled for Findra to get to their cart and leave him; a distraction for her escape. Upon Findra frantically exiting the area on the cart, the area is encapsulated by a necromantic field and Jexi's voice is heard telepathically in an unnaturally deep foreboding tone.

Days later, word reaching the party about how Lilith ran away from the threat that appeared there. Furthermore, the area around that manor/fort has lingering necromantic energy.
