Nell

Rise of the Runelords

Nell is just learning how to read and write and write this diary as an exercise.

Nell.

Background

Nell was born to poor parents in Magnimar and was one of eleven living children. When her father lost his job when the <workplace> burned down, several of the children had to work to help support the family. Nell was only seven years old then and did not take well to her new job. She ran away soon after.

She lived on the streets off alms and what she "found". When growing older it became less easy to get alms and she turned more and more to making use of things others didn't use... or left unattended.

She only once actually cut a purse and had a whole lot of guilt for it later. She knew that the victim wasn't that well to do either.

When she started developing feminine forms, she noted that that got her attention from men. She started to take better care of her looks and got men to freely pay for food and drinks just to have her around.

She found out that adventurers and well to do merchants was the best company and soon she had perfected her techniques. Sometimes she fell in love with her "victims" but it seldom lasted long.

She had seen how people acted when drunk and had always stayed away from alcohol, but one evening some months ago she got too drunk and was raped by a nobleman. When she complained to the city guards they dismissed her. A week later there was a break in and some valuables were missing, but the biggest financial hit was the enormous painting of the nobleman himself that had been slashed.

After that incident she was a lot more careful when choosing who she accompanied. Fortunately she had just come to some funds at that time and had a choice. After her run in with the city guards she didn't trust them and was constantly on the lookout for the nobleman. This was bad for business and shortly after she traveled with a merchant, Bassanio to Sandpoint.

Since then she has been flirting with the locals and living of the last of what she found at the noblemans house and the gifts that she got of Bassanio who was exceedingly generous after an unusually good affair he had done.

Description

Nell is a rather small human of mixed origin. She has dark blond hair but her skin doesn't have that a light complexion. She most often has a tan that let you see several slight scars showing as a little lighter lines.

She dresses provocatively in just enough fabric to be covered. She has two daggers on her back between her shoulders to be drawn downwards. They're usually hidden by her hair but when she expects trouble she puts her hair in a long plait to be out of the way. She also uses a sling that she wears wrapped around her left lower arm.

She smiles a lot which shows her dimples and flirts with most men she meets, but after spending time with her you might notice that she's troubled.

Power (Daily ✦ Illusion): Standard Action. When the enshrouding candle is lit, it generates an illusion within the area of its illumination. Creatures within the area are invisible to those outside the area, though other features within the area appear as normal. Sound (including speech) within the area is likewise inaudible to those outside. Creatures within the area are unaffected by the illusion and can perceive each other normally. Other senses are unaffected by the enshrouding candle. For example, a creature with tremorsense could locate characters in the area normally. Likewise, if characters within the area move objects around them, those moving objects can be seen. The candle burns for 8 hours or until it is moved or extinguished (a minor action). If any character within the area of the illusion attacks, the candle is automatically extinguished.

The hook and rope can support up to 3,000 pounds before the hook detaches from the surface. The rope cannot be tied or knotted in any way, nor can it be used to attack or affect a creature.

Silent Tool Level 2 Wondrous Item 520 gp Property: When used to do the work it was designed for, a silent tool grants the user a +5 power bonus to Stealth checks made while using the tool. Any individual mundane tool—a woodcutter’s axe, a crowbar, a grappling hook, a hammer, a shovel, and so on—can be made silent. For example, a silent crowbar could aid attempts to open a locked door without alerting the sleeping monster on the other side, while a silent grappling hook has less chance of being heard by nearby guards. This property can be applied only to mundane tools. It cannot be placed on weapons, clothing, jewelry, or other mundane objects.

Spymaster’s Quill Level 10 Wondrous Item 5,000 gp Power (At-Will): Standard Action. Pass the spymaster’s quill over an amount of text or an illustration equivalent to a single parchment page. The image or text is magically recorded for later reproduction. Recording another page with the quill erases the page already recorded. Power (At-Will): Standard Action. You point the spymaster’s quill at a sheet of parchment or paper and mentally command it to reproduce the illustration or text recorded within it. No matter what the medium of the original (charcoal on paper, runes scribed in stone, and so on), the reproduction is rendered in normal ink. Special: The reproduction created by the quill is of perfect quality, but the quill cannot record magical properties. For example, you cannot perform a ritual from a ritual scroll recorded and copied by the spymaster’s quill, nor can the quill copy powers or rituals from a wizard’s spellbook.

Unfettered Thieves’ Tools Level 11 Wondrous Item 9,000 gp Property: Like a normal set of thieves’ tools, unfettered thieves’ tools grant a +2 bonus to Thievery checks made to open locks or disable traps. Power (Daily): As part of the action required to make a Thievery check, you can make the check on an object up to 5 squares away. You must have line of sight to the object.

---

Nail of Sealing Level 4 Other Consumable 40 gp Power (Consumable): Standard Action. When you push this nail into a door, chest, or other closeable object, it magically sinks into the material of that object and seals it shut. Treat this as if you had used an Arcane Lock ritual with an Arcana check result of 25. Special: You can use this item in place of the required component cost for an Arcane Lock ritual. In that case, use your own Arcana check instead of that of the nail.
