## Summary

Bryony is the youngest of the Wyrd sisters. The sisters and their companions are investigating the strange mists plaguing the lands.

## Background

Bryony Wyrd was born in Arkos and is the youngest half-sister of Madara and Rosaline Wyrd. Along with her sisters, she grew up poor and scrabbling on the streets of Arkos, getting by due to petty theft and scams along with her sisters.

### The Wagon Train

Bryony and her sisters found themselves as part of a large caravan of individuals fleeing the city of Arkos ahead of the strange mists that seemed to be brining fear and destruction. There the sisters met their future companions, Grimmin Grudgefist, Andakos Lokemir, and the animal companions Xior of the Ironmane and Fenris Buckthorn, as well as their future employer, Lord Ferguson MacIntosh.

During the journey the wagon of the noble Anders family was attacked by bugbears and the two children, Mia and Oscar, were kidnapped for ransom. Bryony and her new companions agreed to form a posse (which would go on to be called The Wyrd Menagerie) to rescue the children. The group tracked the creatures to a cave and engaged them, slaying them and rescuing the children. Bryony became fast friends with the fourteen year old Mia during their journey together.

### Time in Polis

The Wyrd sisters and their companions agreed to stick together and look for work in Polis and temporarily accepted the hospitality of Lord Eutrscus Anders, the uncle of Mia and Oscar, as a reward for their efforts in rescuing the children. Bryony took the opportunity to continue to spend time with her new friend, Mia, and the two even snuck out of the Anders estate to explore the city on at least one occasion.

While in Polis Lord Ferguson MacIntosh, impressed with the display of the sisters and their other companions during the rescue, hired them to investigate the mists as it’s approach was impacting his lands and interests. Bryony and the others agreed and soon departed for Constance to make their way to D’anner, the last major settlement so far untouched by the mist.

### Journey to D’anner

The group’s time in Constance was brief and before long they found themselves in D’anner. However it was not long before they found themselves targeted by a small cult that had sprung up claiming to want to return a shadowy figure known only as Strahd, back to life. Evidently Bryony and her companions had been marked as sacrifices.

After capturing a cult member and interrogating him, the group decided to confront the cult in their headquarters in the sewers. This led to a large battle, in which Bryony and her friends proved victorious.

With their business in D’anner complete, they soon acquired supplies and headed north to confront the mists.

### Into the Mists

Bryony and her companions made their way up the D’anner River, passing through the hamlets there. Soon enough while camping in an abandoned hamlet one night the mists surrounded the group and they found themselves in a strange region near a village called Barovia.

### In Barovia

The sisters and their companions soon found themselves embroiled in events in Barovia and were recruited by Ismark Kolyanavich to accompany his younger sister Ireena to Vallaki to try to keep her safe from Strahd.

## Appearance and Abilities

Bryony is a cute child who often uses this fact to allay suspicion of her thievery and present the image of an innocent child. She is a capable lockpick and pickpocket however. She has recently somehow gained an ability to speak to the dead, and get them to help advise her on a variety of tasks and knowledge.
