Associates meet Maera, the daughter of "the Father", to discuss the leadership and direction of the werecreature organization.

With the assistance of Colin, our new contact, Grist arranged a meeting by a river some days north of Desperate Hope, for us to speak to the lieutenant named Mira. Colin spotted our camp in time for the meeting. There, we
learned that there were no survivors of our last diplomatic meeting other than Colin and "the Father" himself. The negotiations were delicate so I refrain from reporting on how the proverbial sausage was made, but in the end we discovered the most likely means for us to achieve peace would be to neutralize the other lieutenants, who are less interested in territorial boundaries than Maera is. Maera appears to be interested only in humanoids and potentially livestock, not material resources, but offers to export valuable crafts, such as the armour she and her knights display proudly. We don't yet know how these nomads obtain advanced metal goods.

After the diplomatic meeting, we and the other party alike were ambushed by weretigers, wereboars, werewolf archers, and large rock creatures, in pairs. We (mostly Maera) easily defeated one weretiger and surrounded one of the rock creatures, but the rest quickly overwhelmed our position. Fortunately, aside from the rock creatures, these enemies were not very strong and we defeated them without major injuries. Fen, however, was pinned near the middle of the engagement and petrified by multiple strikes from one of the rock creatures while defending others. Maera expressed her regret and stood guard until Fen recovered. We allowed Maera to dispose of the surviving ambushers as she saw fit. She promised to send word later of a possible opportunity for us to strike at one of the other lieutenants during one of their more aggressive operations, in the future.

The leaders of Desperate Hope must find a werecreature that has gone missing in Under Bright.
== Log ==
Previously, in the Call of the Wild series of Expeditions, we encountered werecreatures on their own terms in the forests to the north. In the first encounter, they were subdued without harm and a diplomatic meeting arranged. In the second, we were attacked, and only their leader, a weremole that fled underground, and an avian captive left the scene alive on their side.

We kept the captive subdued through the night of the full moon that followed, bringing him back to Onadbyr, and a day later, to Desperate Hope. I received permission to train the creature there. Those in the know believed he was a wild animal, while those who knew he wasn't didn't learn of the arrangement until after it broke down (aside from the man himself, who hid this fact, allegedly out of fear he'd be summarily executed).

More than three weeks later, he escaped into Under Bright by hiding and becoming anonymous among the village's population. Over the course of the following day it was clarified: He had attacked in the form of a bird because he cannot fly otherwise. He remained in the form of a bird all that time to avoid getting caught, while in his other form he has an entirely human appearance.

With more associates on the case, and armed with more understanding of what we were dealing with, we began to investigate. Some methods were more helpful than others. As word of the missing werecreature and our search for it spread much faster than said search could expand, the leaders of Desperate Hope called everyone in the settlement to a meeting and brought in every straggler we could find.

At the meeting, we made little progress, because neither we nor the local villagers could identify most of the others present at the meeting, and those present who'd arrived only in the past day or two made up a sizeable chunk of those in the search area. The only real effective measures any of us took that helped us accomplish the objective of this expedition were controlling the entrance, which had been done before the expedition was launched, and a speech given by Grist, which inspired the werecreature to come to his office, introduce himself, share information about the cult he'd been part of and discuss plans to become a double agent and help us unravel it.

We learned the cult leader has three lieutenants: A powerful and loyal werewhale, a cruel and brutal wereroc, and a well-armoured werelioness. This last, is says, the only female among the lieutenants, and the only member of the cult who is an actual child of 'the Father'. Our potential ally suggests this last might be the most practical thread to pull on if we wish to unravel this cult and the danger it poses to Onadbyr.

He shared rumours about the cult leader as well: We had already heard he is thousands of years old, but it's suggested he may be an elf druid with the power to spread the shapeshifters' curse of any form in any form he takes, that this is how he allows new recruits to the cult to choose their beast form. I myself don't see 'elf' or 'druid' as explanations for how one can live for thousands of years, nor is that what I saw when we encountered him, but it's certainly a different perspective.

We decided to let him go in return for his cooperation. We came up with plans to bring more social order to Under Bright to reduce its vulnerability to infiltration in the future, and also purely for the benefits of making sure more of our people have a chance to get to know each other, and that outsiders are kept out of the underground. I followed every procedure to the letter regarding the handling of our captive over the past month, so I recommend additional checks so that at least the next time a mistake like this is made, it won't have been filed in triplicate.

Some of our associates did not seem to understand this was an investigation, and approached the matter by bluntly interrogating random villagers and threatening to cause or causing them physical harm. While unhelpful in the conventional sense, it did drive those more inclined toward dialogue to gather the villagers for their own protection, and hold the crowd's attention, which ultimately enabled Grist's speech.

After a banquet for a retiring guard, a unusual pattern of hangovers came to the attention of the captain of the wall. We were asked to investigate. After speaking to those involved, we learned very little, but began to speculate anyway.

While we were chatting up the patrons of the tavern where the banquet occurred, we took note that the walls were undermanned. I noticed a woman in the crowd was furtive about this, and that a friendly acquaintance of hers was not ill and was not boarded in the common room. Those who were seemed to be the ones who were suffering lasting hangovers.

After speaking with her, I also noticed she seemed to have a favourable review of the establishment's sleeping accommodations even though, according to her and the staff, she had only arrived the day we did. It seems she was in other guises on previous nights.

We still had little to go on, so we waited outside until nightfall and hours more. The night was very dark, enough that my torch burned out, so, rather than doze off in the grass, I entered the establishment when light spilled out from the doorway after the associate on guard inside was compelled to leave by a magical suggestion.

The woman attempted to do the same with me and failed, so instead she cast another spell that affected my senses. When I regained them, she'd return to her true form - large, blue, horned, and monstrous - screamed and gored a sleeping guard, while two of her 'minions', powerful hound-like creatures of strange materials, emerged from the corners of the room and engaged the associates at the door.

These creatures were somewhat dangerous on the attack, but much worse is that they seemed able to inflict wounds on anyone near them without striking them. With me running and gunning that wasn't a problem - except once, when I discovered they could move very quickly so long as they hugged the walls - but at the door the fighting was an intense battle of attrition, with repeated healing spells needed.

Fortunately, the shape changer at the centre of the battle was somewhat of a glass cannon and quickly went down before she could kill again. However, she was not acting alone, she was part of a larger offensive, and said as much, speaking about how the defences she'd weakened would lay Onadbyr bare for 'the Covens', a notion which prompted Illiam's 'I-knew-its' and 'I-told-you-so's at the end of the night.

The home of the retired guard was attacked within a minute of us settling the score at the tavern. We rushed to the rescue. There were no lights inside, only the sounds of combat. We made it in time, and during our engagement there, we both learned and repeatably demonstrated that forcing the hound-like creatures out into the open disoriented them severely, giving them an incapacitating sense of vertigo. This earned us a quick victory without further casualties.

The shapeshifter cult invited us to meet in the woods not long before the full moon. I took up a position atop a tree on a hill with good view of the area. Our designated diplomat was Grist, though it seemed every other thing he said came across as a gaffe to the cult leader. Grist offered a handshake, had his hand crushed for the trouble, and we were promptly under attack from all quarters.

I shot an incoming giant bird. Damian destroyed a weremole that erupted from the ground and rushed to aid Cyrus with another. Grist somehow survived attacks from all sides and joined those two with the mole. A weretiger leapt from a tree into Serene and was punished for it while another fought with Clam, aided by a werebat and mole that sought to even the odds. All the while, the lycanthropes' leader nonchalantly walked away.

Just before he left, he demonstrated a small bit of 'fatherly love' by healing the wounded werebat, and some sort of 'green knight' piled onto Clam as well. Damian cut down the giant bird as soon as it engaged him, which freed Grist and the others to support Serene. Clam was still left surrounded by enemies. The silver lining in this is that the mess being made of him, and to an extent Serene being still on the defensive, was all the cult leader could see of the battle; he missed Damian and Grist turning the tables with two trees blocking his vision.

I wasn't able to see this part clearly either, as another giant bird appeared all of a sudden bearing down on me. Clam went down and was dragged away by the healed werebat. I wounded the bird, but it seized me and lifted me from my perch. I was able to secure myself to it with a grappling hook, with a slight sort of magical aid from Cyrus.

Grist rescued Clam somehow, Serene retreated to a chokepoint with the others to reinforce her. The bird lifted me high in the air and released me. I spooled out to the end of my rope, which snapped taut and dug my hook into the bird. It thrashed and shredded the line, allowing me to land lightly and dive into the foliage. The bird remained in pursuit, and I narrowly escaped with my life. I took a shot as I passed the tree, and was nearly struck by the top half of a weremole Damian had bisected in passing.

I took another shot as the bird rounded the tree and came into the open. It dropped unconscious. Serene and Cyrus were fighting back to back with a weretiger and the green knight on them. Clam tried to flank the knight but was forced to fend off the bite and claws of the werebear on scene instead. Damian doubled back into the fight and unloaded his pistol into the weretiger, though his shots simply glanced off of its hide. Across the field, the other weretiger caught her head solidly on Grist's shield, just as the closer one slipped and fell from some spell, and Serene slapshot it into oblivion.

Serene struck the knight as I shot him from his flank, and he downed Clam once more. The werebear attempted to haul Clam away from the battle, unable to see the fight between Grist and the remaining weretiger behind the same cover that obstructed the cult leader's vision. Damian slew the weremole harassing him, while Cyrus's opponent, after clawing wildly at him, dove into the ground and failed to return to the battle.

The knight began laughing madly, slashing at Serene with little regard for his own defense, but she defied him with equal clamor. After I shot it in the arm, Serene delivered a coup de grace. Cyrus fired a pair of celebratory energy beams into the sky.

Clam rose to his feet for a second time and resumed brawling with the werebear; an opponent I soon had pinned to a tree by a bolt through his wrist. Finally, Grist struck down the bear. We returned with one captive, the giant bird I defeated. It seems probable the one other enemy who survived the battle had the opportunity to report to 'The Father', but apparently with little urgency, as no follow-up attack came that night.

We retreated to a 'safe' campsite, where Grist treated those of us who'd been cursed. This ensured we'd be fit to travel as soon as we'd rested, so we made haste to return before we could be pursued.

If another attempt at diplomacy is required in the future, a few notes: 'The Father' and his followers are extremely sensitive to the idea of the rise and fall of civilizations being directly linked to the cycle of cataclysms. As such, they can only be comfortable with Onadbyr if our growth appears stagnant and our decline inevitable; if not, their beliefs compel them to bring about our destruction to preserve their own interests. Onadbyr's outposts may be at risk, especially if 'The Father' fears they may successfully gain a foothold and tame the surrounding natural areas.

The one thing 'The Father' wants from us is a source of willing humanoid recruits. He is concerned the quality of anyone we would offer him would be low and expressed suspicion we were planning to dispose of criminals and troublemakers using his organization as a cover. It's possible goblinoids or other forces active in the area have attempted to do this very thing before, though it's difficult to discern the origins of the were-creatures when we have only seen them in their hybrid and animal forms.

We were paid lavishly for this report.

Damian cut down the giant bird as soon as it engaged him, which freed Grist and the others to support Serene. Clam was still left surrounded by enemies. The silver lining in this is that the mess being made of him, and to an extent Serene being still on the defensive, was all the cult leader could see of the battle; he missed Damian and Grist turning the tables with two trees blocking his vision.

I wasn't able to see this part clearly either, as another giant bird appeared all of a sudden bearing down on me. Clam went down and was dragged away by the healed werebat. I wounded the bird, but it seized me and lifted me from my perch. I was able to secure myself to it with a grappling hook, with a slight sort of magical aid from Cyrus.

Grist rescued Clam somehow, Serene retreated to a chokepoint with the others to reinforce her. The bird lifted me high in the air and released me. I spooled out to the end of my rope, which snapped taut and dug my hook into the bird. It thrashed and shredded the line, allowing me to land lightly and dive into the foliage. The bird remained in pursuit, and I narrowly escaped with my life. I took a shot as I passed the tree, and was nearly struck by the top half of a weremole Damian had bisected in passing.

I took another shot as the bird rounded the tree and came into the open. It dropped unconscious. Serene and Cyrus were fighting back to back with a weretiger and the green knight on them. Clam tried to flank the knight but was forced to fend off the bite and claws of the werebear on scene instead. Damian doubled back into the fight and unloaded his pistol into the weretiger, though his shots simply glanced off of its hide. Across the field, the other weretiger caught her head solidly on Grist's shield, just as the closer one slipped and fell from some spell, and Serene slapshot it into oblivion.

Serene struck the knight as I shot him from his flank, and he downed Clam once more. The werebear attempted to haul Clam away from the battle, unable to see the fight between Grist and the remaining weretiger behind the same cover that obstructed the cult leader's vision. Damian slew the weremole harassing him, while Cyrus's opponent, after clawing wildly at him, dove into the ground and failed to return to the battle.

The knight began laughing madly, slashing at Serene with little regard for his own defense, but she defied him with equal clamor. After I shot it in the arm, Serene delivered a coup de grace. Cyrus fired a pair of celebratory energy beams into the sky.

Clam rose to his feet for a second time and resumed brawling with the werebear; an opponent I soon had pinned to a tree by a bolt through his wrist. Finally, Grist struck down the bear. We returned with one captive, the werebird I defeated. It seems probable the one other enemy who survived the battle had the opportunity to report to 'The Father', but apparently with little urgency, as no follow-up attack came that night.

We retreated to a 'safe' campsite, those who avoided the curse standing watch while the rest of us were bound or chained. None of those cursed remember what happened next, but we safely made it back to the wagons and were able to rest for the return trip.

If another attempt at diplomacy is required in the future, a few notes: 'The Father' and his followers are extremely sensitive to the idea of the rise and fall of civilizations being directly linked to the cycle of cataclysms. As such, they can only be comfortable with Onadbyr if our growth appears stagnant and our decline inevitable; if not, their beliefs compel them to bring about our destruction to preserve their own interests. Onadbyr's outposts may be at risk, especially if 'The Father' fears they may successfully gain a foothold and tame the surrounding natural areas.

The one thing 'The Father' wants from us is a source of willing humanoid recruits. He is concerned the quality of anyone we would offer him would be low and expressed suspicion we were planning to dispose of criminals and troublemakers using his organization as a cover. It's possible goblinoids or other forces active in the area have attempted to do this very thing before, though it's difficult to discern the origins of the were-creatures when we have only seen them in their hybrid and animal forms.

We were paid lavishly for this report.

The shapeshifter cult invited us to meet in the woods not long before the full moon. I took up a position atop a tree on a hill with good view of the area. Our designated diplomat was Grist, though it seemed every other thing he said came across as a gaffe to the cult leader. He offered a handshake, had his hand crushed, and we were promptly under attack from all quarters.

I shot an incoming giant bird. Damian destroyed a weremole that erupted from the ground and rushed to aid Cyrus with another. Grist somehow survived attacks from all sides and joined those two with the mole. A weretiger leapt from a tree into Serene and was punished for it while another fought with Clam, aided by a werebat and mole that sought to even the odds. All the while, the lycanthropes' leader non-chalantly walked away.

Just before leaving, he healed a werebat, and some sort of 'green knight' piled onto Clam as well. Damian cut down the giant bird as soon as it engaged him, which freed Grist and the others to support Serene. Clam was still left surrounded by enemies. The silver lining in this is that the mess being made of him, and to an extent Serene being still on the defensive, was all the cult leader could see of the battle; he missed Damian and Grist turning the tables with two trees blocking his vision.

An ex-merchant and present-day scavenger from a charcoal and forestry family who lived near a coal town in the nearby mountains prior to the faerie attacks of this past year.

== Description ==
A tall, long-limbed, and muscular woodland elf, with greyish tan skin, pine green hair, and coal-black eyes. She wears clothing in similar colours, in close-fitting styles that cover her from the neck down with accessories added to break up her silhouette. When ready for combat, she wears leather lamellar armour banded in woodland colours over brown and grey undergarments. She's usually seen bearing the exotic elf-made firearm she first carried into town in its leather case, armed with a bayonet on one hip and a kukri on the other. On expeditions, her favoured weapon moves to a patrol sling, her bayonet to a heavy repeating crossbow, and her kukri to a chest holster, while hand crossbow and bolts on her hips, and takes a halberd in hand, or carries it through her pack.

== Skills ==
Physically fit, socially comfortable, and with a talent for manual labour, Aleth is adept at skills that involve movement, but not so much at those that take stopping to think. That said, she's observant and a stealthy marksman, able to prepare suitable ammunition for almost any opponent, find and reach an appropriate perch to fire from, especially in woodland environments. She can also defend herself in melee combat, with some difficulty.

== Background ==
Before the Collapse, when Onadbyr was still a centre of industry, the port city consumed vast amounts of coal. Aleth's family was one of many in the nearby mountains whose livelihood came from feeding the city's endless demand for this resource. Being woodland elves, their contribution came from managing a rugged tract of boreal forest on the far side of a mountain lake from the local mining town to supplement the bituminous coal from the mines with sustainable charcoal, refined for the production of gunpowder. A restless youth, Aleth was less interested in taking over the family business than in hauling what they produced on their land to the succinctly-named Colton market. There, she learned how others made their fortunes, marvelled at wares from around the world, and dreamed of someday accumulating enough capital to strike out on her own. In the meantime, when not lugging charcoal bricks and other resources through rugged wilderness, she trained with the Colton militia.

The Collapse somehow seemed to forget about Colton. The only curse to strike the town, its mines, or its forests - if one could call it that - was the loss of a market in Onadabyr. This was curse enough; without trade, the town's existence was hard to justify, and many of the most wealthy and powerful residents simply left. Those remaining had no trouble staying warm, and even managed to set up their own ironworks, but with no grain arriving, local fish stocks couldn't sustain the population, and nearly all of their food had to come from hunting expeditions - and underground farms, which the dwarves were unwilling to share. Theft and raiding became commonplace. Enraged by thieves and trespassers on her family's lands, young Aleth invested much into the pursuit of such criminals and even organized counter-raids.

The final blow came when the town somehow enraged the mountain spirits; fey creatures vulnerable to no weapons but for those made from cold-forged iron or sovereign steel. As a town with virtually unlimited fuel, relying almost exclusively on scrounged and recycled metals and mine tailings rather than new deposits, Colton was unable to effectively counter such threats. They came under siege, where spellcasters were targeted, first, before the militia were overwhelmed in a sudden assault. Aleth awoke from a magical sleep to find her hometown looted and in ruins, every entrance to the mines collapsed, and the other survivors there unwilling to trust her, perhaps believing her ineffectiveness during the battle and continued survival were the result of cowardice or collaboration with the enemy. She succeeded in clearing squatters out of her family's home, but from the ruins she could only gather the rest of her family had either fled or been taken as prisoners into the First World.

Aleth soon became bored and frustrated attempting to rebuild her life all but alone on the outskirts of a ruined town where she wasn't appreciated, and began searching for alternatives. After following the traffic in and out of Onadbyr and eavesdropping on travellers for a few weeks, she walked into town, presenting herself as a skilled woodland explorer. She soon found herself engaged in exploring anything but forests as an Associate of the Round Table.

An ex-merchant and present-day scavenger from a charcoal and forestry family who lived near a coal town in the nearby mountains prior to the faerie attacks of this past year.

== Description ==
A tall, long-limbed, and muscular woodland elf, with greyish tan skin, pine green hair, and coal-black eyes. She wears clothing in similar colours, in close-fitting styles that cover her from the neck down with accessories added to break up her silhouette. When ready for combat, she wears leather lamellar armour banded in woodland colours over brown and grey undergarments. She's usually seen bearing the exotic elf-made firearm she first carried into town in its leather case, armed with a bayonet on one hip and a kukri on the other. On expeditions, her favoured weapon moves to a patrol sling, her bayonet to a heavy repeating crossbow, and her kukri to a chest holster, while hand crossbow and bolts on her hips, and takes a halberd in hand, or carries it through her pack.

Sent to Pettyport to charter passage to an island chain rumoured to be a respository for a wizard's treasure, we found an old captain named Ironears (and an old ship also named Ironears) and hired them for the journey at a price of just a few silver. The journey wasn't difficult, but on arrival we were surprised to find the entire area seemed to be in miniature. Tiny trees, tiny islands, a tiny dormant volcano, and so forth. Though this effect didn't clearly extend beneath the water's surface.

A poem on the treasure map indicated a sequence of islands for us to land on to reveal the treasure. Or so we thought. This went without incident for the first few islands, but while exploring a crater lake, I was struck by noxious tentacles from the deep. I rowed on past to ground on the beach in relative safety, while Damian fought the monster beneath the surface. It proved to be more dangerous than it was durable. After this, we were wary of entering the water again, but we found this to be the only way to reach our last objectives.

We practiced diving on shipwrecks we found, where we learned Damian was far better at diving than I am. Finally, we found we had no alternative but to dive to the bottom of a basin sixteen fathoms deep - measured with a weighted rope, that is. With help from an air bladder I made out of an old waterskin, Damian had a chat with a skeletal sailor down there - not a great friend of the wizard, it seems - and this gave us the way to the treasure, at the site of another shipwreck.

Having completed his challenge, it seems the wizard 'bequeathed' us with his conjuration staff, an unusually explosive fire lance, and a second lance fashioned from a unicorn's horn. We sold the staff to finance the expedition and it was agreed I would take the fire lance (or 'blasting lance') as the one most likely to be able to use it safely, but I paid the others the pawn value of lance fashioned from the unicorn's horn.

Sent to Pettyport to charter passage to an island chain rumoured to be a respository for a wizard's treasure, we found an old captain named Ironears (and an old ship also named Ironears) and hired them for the journey at a price of just a few silver. The journey wasn't difficult, but on arrival we were surprised to find the entire area seemed to be in miniature. Tiny trees, tiny islands, a tiny dormant volcano, and so forth. Though this effect didn't clearly extend beneath the water's surface.

A poem on the treasure map indicated a sequence of islands for us to land on to reveal the treasure. Or so we thought. This went without incident for the first few islands, but while exploring a crater lake, I was struck by noxious tentacles from the deep. I rowed on past to ground on the beach in relative safety, while Damian fought the monster beneath the surface. It proved to be more dangerous than it was durable. After this, we were wary of entering the water again, but we found this to be the only way to reach our last objectives.

We practiced diving on shipwrecks we found, where we learned Damian was far better at diving than I am. Finally, we found we had no alternative but to dive to the bottom of a basin sixteen fathoms deep - measured with a weighted rope, that is. With help from an air bladder I made out of an old waterskin, Damian had a chat with a skeletal sailor down there - not a great friend of the wizard, it seems - and this gave us the way to the treasure, at the site of another shipwreck.

Having completed his challenge, it seems the wizard 'bequeathed' us with his conjuration staff, an unusually explosive fire lance, and a second lance fashioned from a unicorn's horn. We sold the staff to finance the expedition and it was agreed I would take the fire lance (or 'blasting lance') as the one most likely to be able to use it safely, but I paid the others the pawn value of lance fashioned from the unicorn's horn.

The expedition was prepared to resolve an issue with animal attacks. The victims were hunters and furriers. I found what appeared to be bear tracks, but the bear walked on two legs. We soon determined we were tracking a werebear. This seemed strange, as they are not generally known to prey on hunters. After three hours of tracking, we noted the pursued and pursuer both picked up their pace.

When we found them, we discovered a confused group of werecreatures, including both captive woodsmen and proselytizers. We heard about "the father of all werecreatures", described in the manner of a grandiose cult leader who promises a way to survive all calamities, through forced conversion into werecreatures.

Diplomacy failed to secure the release of the captives. After a sprawling melee, where Clam defeated a weretiger and the rest of the group a werebear, two wererats, werebats, and wereboars - without killing any of them - we convinced them to relinquish custody of the hunters, and discussed the possibility of opening diplomatic relations with the powerful creature who leads the lycanthropy cult.

Fen and Grist were cursed by bites and ran away in the night. We were unable to stop them from escaping, but tracked them down to where they collapsed from exhaustion by morning. We also recovered the remains of a merchant caravan that was destroyed on the road nearby, finding weapon runes and other valuables there.

The cult leader seems to have the ability to magically eliminate any misgivings new cult members may have about joining the cult, which suggests they may be difficult to convince the value of giving Onadbyr residents a choice, even if missionaries are sent. We arranged for the battle site to be used as a neutral meeting place for future diplomacy.

An ex-merchant and present-day scavenger from a charcoal and forestry family who lived near a coal town in the nearby mountains prior to the faerie attacks of this past year.

== Description ==
A tall, long-limbed, and muscular woodland elf, with greyish tan skin, pine green hair, and coal-black eyes. She wears clothing in similar colours, in close-fitting styles that cover her from the neck down with accessories added to break up her silhouette. When ready for combat, she wears leather lamellar armour banded in woodland colours over brown and grey undergarments. She's usually seen bearing the exotic elf-made firearm she first carried into town in its leather case, armed with a bayonet on one hip and a kukri on the other. On expeditions, her favoured weapon moves to a patrol sling, her bayonet to a heavy repeating crossbow, and her kukri to a chest holster, while hand crossbow and bolts on her hips, and takes a halberd in hand, or carries it through her pack.

== Skills ==
Physically fit, socially comfortable, and with a talent for manual labour, Aleth is adept at skills that involve movement, but not so much at those that take stopping to think. That said, she's observant and a stealthy marksman, able to prepare suitable ammunition for almost any opponent, find and reach an appropriate perch to fire from, especially in woodland environments. She can also defend herself in melee combat, with some difficulty.

== Background ==
Before the Collapse, when Onadbyr was still a centre of industry, the port city consumed vast amounts of coal. Aleth's family was one of many in the nearby mountains whose livelihood came from feeding the city's endless demand for this resource. Being woodland elves, their contribution came from managing a rugged tract of boreal forest on the far side of a mountain lake from the local mining town to supplement the bituminous coal from the mines with sustainable charcoal, refined for the production of gunpowder. A restless youth, Aleth was less interested in taking over the family business than in hauling what they produced on their land to the succinctly-named Colton market. There, she learned how others made their fortunes, marvelled at wares from around the world, and dreamed of someday accumulating enough capital to strike out on her own. In the meantime, when not lugging charcoal bricks and other resources through rugged wilderness, she trained with the Colton militia.

The Collapse somehow seemed to forget about Colton. The only curse to strike the town, its mines, or its forests - if one could call it that - was the loss of a market in Onadabyr. This was curse enough; without trade, the town's existence was hard to justify, and many of the most wealthy and powerful residents simply left. Those remaining had no trouble staying warm, and even managed to set up their own ironworks, but with no grain arriving, local fish stocks couldn't sustain the population, and nearly all of their food had to come from hunting expeditions - and underground farms, which the dwarves were unwilling to share. Theft and raiding became commonplace. Enraged by thieves and trespassers on her family's lands, young Aleth invested much into the pursuit of such criminals and even organized counter-raids.

The final blow came when the town somehow enraged the mountain spirits; fey creatures vulnerable to no weapons but for those made from cold-forged iron or sovereign steel. As a town with virtually unlimited fuel, relying almost exclusively on scrounged and recycled metals and mine tailings rather than new deposits, Colton was unable to effectively counter such threats. They came under siege, where spellcasters were targeted, first, before the militia were overwhelmed in a sudden assault. Aleth awoke from a magical sleep to find her hometown looted and in ruins, every entrance to the mines collapsed, and the other survivors there unwilling to trust her, perhaps believing her ineffectiveness during the battle and continued survival were the result of cowardice or collaboration with the enemy. She succeeded in clearing squatters out of her family's home, but from the ruins she could only gather the rest of her family had either fled or been taken as prisoners into the First World.

Aleth soon became bored and frustrated attempting to rebuild her life all but alone on the outskirts of a ruined town where she wasn't appreciated, and began searching for alternatives. After following the traffic in and out of Onadbyr and eavesdropping on travellers for a few weeks, she walked into town, presenting herself as a skilled woodland explorer. She soon found herself engaged in exploring anything but forests as an Associate of the Round Table.
