Hazzo Quickbolt Goodwidget Symbeth

## Biography

Born in the mountains of Drachenfeld, he calls Drachen Falls his home. He is a newer member of his guild, drawn there by the siren call of the adventure ruins might bring. He and Ludyn have done some adventuring together in the past and have bonded.

Hazzo had an experience a decade prior to the start of the story where he witnessed dark fae torturing someone and was unable to save them. It still haunts him to this day.

## The Story So Far

**Episode 2: Up and Running**

In The Drachenfeld Surveyor's Guild, he receives a message from a messenger boy. Nilkas sends he and Ludyn to visit the shaman of the outlanders for more information about the black dragon flying above the city and potentially about the ruins.

**Episode 3: Research and Spirits**

Hazzo, Tamaska and Ludyn prepare to head out to The Outlander Camp, gathering supplies before they go. Nilkas told them where to find the tribe when briefing them about the mission. Hazzo does research on the outlander tribe and Ludyn does some research on the dragon. Already equipped with some information on the outlander's religious beliefs, Hazzo confirms information he had acquired in a less than honest way. Ludyn's research does not provide any further enlightenment, which he finds frustrating. They choose to head back to talk to Nilkas to ask about an appropriate gift to the Shaman, which would be a piece of a Dragon.

**Episode 4: Tooth and Claw**

While returning to see Nilkas at The Drachenfeld Surveyor's Guild, Hazzo falls into a dark mood for a brief moment. Ludyn notices using his ability to detect evil and Hazzo explains that around ten years in the past, he had a horrible experience with the dark fae where he was made to witness and even possibly participate in the torture of someone. He states that from time to time he can fall into dark moods, triggered by memories. Ludyn offers to be a person on whom Hazzo can rely should he fall into a dark mood again.

They return to Nilkas at The Drachenfeld Surveyor's Guild to ask for a piece of a Dragon to present to Gratha, the shaman leader of The Outlander Camp. When Nilkas gives them an item to bring, it happens to be the dragon claw weapon that Hazzo brought back from his bad experience with the dark fae. Hazzo steadies himself by holding onto Tamaska while he recovers from his shock at seeing the weapon again. Ludyn steps forward, eager to handle the weapon, and accidentally drops it on the desk, damaging the desk. Our heroes may not recognize the object as The Claw of Skokul. Despite some nervousness, Nilkas insists they take it to Gratha.

**Episode 5: The Claw of Skokul**

After Nilkas gave The Claw of Skokul to Hazzo and Ludyn, the duo and faithful companion Tamaska are clear to leave to meet Gratha on their secret mission.

The Outlander Camp is within half a day's journey from the city.

Ludyn on a whim decides to try to detect evil on The Claw of Skokul and is assaulted by the realization that it is in fact a very evil item. He gets a headache. The psychic backlash allows Skokul to link temporarily to Ludyn's mind, giving him an up close look at Skokul's giant yellow eyes. Skokul says to him through his mind, "You're not ready for this information," and Ludyn snaps back to reality, the interaction immediately becoming as hazy as a dream. Hazzo gives Ludyn a sip of his gnomish whiskey to steady his nerves and explains that the claw is fully evil. Hazzo questions whether or not it is wise to give such an evil item to Gratha and suggests they might want to ask her. Hazzo tops up his store of whiskey before leaving.

They depart Drachen Falls separately so as to not to draw attention. They make the plan to meet at the stone marker near the apple orchard. Hazzo leaves as if to go hunting, a normal occurrence for him, with Ludyn following after bearing The Claw of Skokul.

Hazzo and Tamaska make it safely to the marker first.

**Episode 6: Stormy Situations**

Ludyn arrives late to the stone marker by the orchard to meet Hazzo who has kept himself busy hunting rabbits in the meantime. Ludyn explains his lateness. Despite the severity of the storm, Hazzo predicts (incorrectly) that the storm will blow over quickly. They decide to head out to The Outlander Camp and are buffeted by the storm. Hazzo admits his failure and suggests hunkering down somewhere safe. Immediately afterward, lightning strikes a branch above him in a tree. Hazzo manages to dodge it, but only barely. He falls in the mud and is smacked by some of the smaller bits of the branches. Tamaska rushes to his side, fully drenched. Ludyn suggests that it might be The Claw of Skokul's influence.
