What do you get if you cross a lion, a dragon and a lot
of spikes? One answer would be an evil
predator capable of impaling its prey from great distances. Another answer would be karma.
And so, the party have reluctantly followed the orders of the Lich master Hayyaes to the lair of a creature the ancient mage perceives as a threat. Unfortunately, Vijo, a powerful Lamia has escaped the party’s clutches
by diving into a mysterious pool. Do they dare follow?
Location: The desert city of Karmal Race: Human Episodes: Series 4, Episodes 6 onwards Appearance: N’tay appears to be in traveler garbs and a 3 cornered- hat. Her appearance gives little away except that she is not as defenseless as her academic colleague, Jar.
Personality: She appeared shy at first and not ready to communicate information. She could occasionally be seen nudging Jar and keep their information vague. She truly comes to life in battle, however, and seems to prefer physical activity to diplomacy.
Background: N’tay is from a place she calls ‘Freedom Island’. The party know little else about this location but do know where she and Jar intend to go; they are on a mission to discover a fabled lake underneath the Da that is said to have existed when this land was a vibrant Elven kingdom called Chandanis.
What Happened during the Roleplay: After the party won enough town credit to buy camels they asked Jar and N’tay to accompany them North as this was the direction both of their lake and of a mysterious power the party were searching for. Together they discovered a magically hidden bandit camp and attempted to sneak in. This resulted in a fight in which N’tay proved extremely deadly cutting down many magical camels and bandits. Unfortunately she was not able to save her companion, Jar.
Chance of recurring in future episodes: Very high. She seems determined to carry out their mission and that means continuing the trail into the bandit camp to discover the magical secrets therein and hopefully a way to the underground lake.

Doing the bidding of a Lich lord, Hayyaes, the party are on the hunt for a creature the lich believes is a threat. This leads them to a hidden camp in the Da desert… a Vijo’s cave.
Location: The desert city of Karmal Race: Human Episodes: Series 4, Episodes 6-8 Appearance: Jar is bespectacled and scholarly in appearance, but a little unprepared. Hey has lots of possessions
and yet his clothes are in need of repair and he did not have a way of travelling from Karmal to the lake.
Personality: Jar was friendly and interested upon meeting the party and wasn’t afraid to talk about the mission that he and Ntay were on. Sometimes his comments became wayward or vague, but it was unclear whether this was as a result of his meandering thoughts or perhaps that he was concealing some information. The reason for the mission to find the Lake of Aston was put down to ‘archeological interest’.
Background: No background is known except that Ntay is from the a place she calls ‘Freedom Island’. They
are on a mission to discover a fabled Aston Lake underneath the Da that is said to have existed when this land was a vibrant Elven kingdom.
What Happened during the Roleplay: Contains spoilers – if you haven’t watched/listened to Episode 8…
