Road Trip to the Dragon Isles NPCs - The Land of Khur

Altan (left) and Davaa (right)

Batu assigned Altan and Davaa to serve as Arthur and Agnes' guides across Khur and to send information about them back to him whenever they got the chance. After Davaa was nearly killed and Agnes used healing magic to save his life, Altan had a crisis of faith and began looking for signs of the the gods' return. Davaa, while grateful, remained loyal to his Khan and kept informing on the two adventurers. 

Note: Altan and Davaa were 3rd level when they departed Ak-Krin in Arthur's employ.

Chimeg is a Khurish acolyte of Elir-Sana (a regional name for Mishakal). The head priestess of her order has fallen into a deep revere from which she cannot be woke. The dragonarmies couldn't care less about the incident, but she sought out a group of adventurers that could be trusted to find a cure. An ancient prophecy found in the temple’s library tells of a White Lady that is imprisoned in the Mountains of the Khalkists and must be set free in order to free the priestess of her trance. According to the scriptures, the White Lady is a powerful servant of Elir-Sana.

I have had the idea of Phineas kicking around in one form or another since McDonald's introduced their special Shamrock Shake Straw back in 2017. I absolutely knew that only a Tinker Gnome could introduce such a ridiculous concept to my campaign. The idea of him being su-u-u-per excited about a Straw and casually unimpressed by inventing stainless steel was just hilarious to me. He uses the Scientist Prestige Class from the d20 Modern supplement, d20 Past.

Phineas hails from Mt. Nevermind. A few years ago, he decided that he needed to get out into the world to "field test" some of his ideas.
