Estelle Mancer

OC

Race / Cait Sith

Enchanter / Acolyte

Astrologian

This vixen is a very curious young woman. She wants to know EVERYTHING about the history of the world, especially beyond the Eastal Free League. Her other obsession is the stars, charting their path along the virtual(?) heavens, learning the stories and constellations unique to this world, and comparing them to those of the real world... even as she plays up their importance, the 'fates visible in the stars' and how they apply to the world. Still, she's outgoing; always willing to talk about the world and what people have learned about it, to jot them out a star chart or horoscope, or even just to try and point someone in the right direction to find what they're looking for. She just wants to explore, experience, and spend lazy nights gazing up at the stars.

"When in doubt look to the stars. Then remember that, like all the people around you, every one has a story. We might not know it, but that doesn't make it - or them - any less important." - Estelle Mancer

They no longer strike only at night, meaning that the forests are now a dangerous place, even during the daylight hours.

Duty Session 213: Karluin Reclamation - Town 2021 February 8th
Even with the defeat of the fifth floor boss, Karluin is still a monster-infested ruin filled with precarious traps, ancient dangers and just plain old fashioned half-collapsed architecture. Though dilapidated, the goblin settlement in the area is deeply rooted and will need a good deal of effort from intrepid Adventurers to clear out... But it'll all be worth it. Once reclaimed, the fortress of Karluin will be a second or third home for Adventurers making their way up the tower. It's not like they have much choice; the way up is right smack dab in the middle of the old fort, and leaving it to rot will just make getting to the sixth floor that much more difficult.

The long task begins with exterminating monsters still lurking in the castle-town surrounding Karluin's mysterious central keep. Only then can the walls be secured and progress can begin on securing the fortress' heart.

Difficulty:    Medium
Rec. Party:    4+
