U.L.P.

OC

Bard / Hunter

Minstrel

Though some might call U.L.P. a corporate shill, and it is true in some regards, he is a capable adventurer in his own right. He operates in parties and participates in events. However, he is known to offer his services as a man who can get you in touch with the right things for a price. Usually selling equipment, specifically to make someone look more impressive for IRL meetings before the Apocolypse, he is now stuck with everyone else. He enjoys his time, currently, and has aligned himself with Plant Hwyaden, but like his race, it's hard to tell what his goals are. To his friends, he is a friendly person but also has a streak of competition. He is also well known for turning rivals into friends.

"What I distrust most? Someone who says they have no aspirations because it means they're either ashamed of their goals or that their goals are going to mess with your own." - U.L.P.

Goblin """Management"""	2020 August 22nd	Haseo has through Totally Legal means acquired information about a hidden goblin camp.

Rolless. Boneless.
The Growling Dark	2020 August 27th	The Madra Feargach Caverns are one of the early 'dungeon' areas that people ran through in ETO before the Black Wave. It is known for being fairly simple and straightforward, with appropriate challenge ratings and dropping the usual newbie level dungeon loot. But that was before the Black Wave. Someone has decided to check on the area now to confirm some theories. It will be mysterious. And perhaps also dangerous. Olympus oriented scene. Allies of Plant Duck may also attend.

Duty Session 100: Convoy Escort Quest I	2020 September 20th	Escort quests, the bane of any experienced gamer. Assisting people who are unable to defend themselves as they trudge slowly through dangerous environments on a preset path. When implemented well, they're a chore - when implemented poorly, they're a nightmare. The merchant guilds and the People of the Land will pay handsomely to see this convoy deliver its goods - and its people - to the destination, and your group is needing to head that way anyway for your own reasons, so it's time to hitch up and hit the road. It can't be all that bad of a quest, right? Two days of travel will fly right on by. (Note: This Duty takes several IC days to complete.) Difficulty: Moderate Rec. Party: 3+ Rewards: 1 World Rewards: None
