Luria DeLustra

Luria is an eager youth looking for new experiences and adventures. She is a part of the campaign The Kiss of Janus.

Description
Luria is a young Half-Elf, slender in build and easy on the eyes. She has dark blue-black hair that is braided in an intricate elven style and shows a sharp contrast between her pale skin color.

Family & Relationships
Luria grew up in Shadowdale with her sisters and mother. Her mother was a moderately well-known Human bard named Osora De'Bourgh and her father was an Elf who moved on when she was very young. Her oldest sister Sybia is trained in the art of magic-use and is sometimes referred to as a Dreamer due to her fascination with astrology. Her other sister Rylia is a homebody who never really pursued adventure, she married and began her life with her husband.

Early Years
Luria was born in 1459 in the city of Shadowdale and had a pretty good childhood. Due to her mother's notoriety she was well cared for financially and had access to more options. She chose to pursue the darker side of magic in rebellion to the comparison between her and Sybia. She was known to be a trouble-maker at an early age, after learning some basic spells she would cause mischief amongst the local teens. Although she had not mastered her magic knowledge she never seriously hurt anyone by accident or on purpose.

After a few years maturity began to settle and she grouped with her sister Sybia and performed a series of small tasks for the locals. Miscellaneous tasks that helped her develop a keener sense of her art as well as make some money. She never became as well known in town as her sister but was beginning to develop contacts and relationships with the right people. Other classmates and kids her own age would tease her about her well-standing family and that the only reason she was hired was due to her mother's name. In response, she decided to leave Shadowdale in pursuit of her own destiny looking to prove her own name. She traveled to a few different towns before hearing about a massive sum of treasure that was once guarded by an ancient dragon. She decided to head to the location mentioned in these stories and stopped in the town of Asbravn.

Asbravn After the Calm
By 1479, Luria had made her way to Asbravn and began investigating leads on where to go next when she noticed something suspicious about the town marketplace. There seemed to be an unsettling calm that took place in the center of the town that deterred thievery and anger. It was shortly thereafter that a flier was posted around town that the Dwarven Anvil was having a 99% off sale for adventuring equipment so naturally all the adventurer types in town flocked to that store. It was then that strange screams were heard in town, the sounds of people dying. Luria was amongst a small group of adventurers who chose to investigate the Granny Smith Inn. With adventurers dead and wild hyenas and Gnolls in toe, we took action and cleared the first level of the Inn. The second level was infested with Goblins and a few other creatures. In the attic there was a scuffle between Goblins and Ghosts over what seemed to be an unconcious female Elf. Luria felt there was something familiar about this girls eyes and was immediately suspicious of her.

Amongst the group was a cleric nicknamed 'Hero', a Dragonborn nicknamed 'Dragonman', a ranger named Qelvin, the dwarf from the Dwarven Anvil named Dardosh, and a human named Baws... who didn't seem to do very much.

After spending the night at the Granny Smith Inn, our merry band was approached by a distraught woman claiming her husband "Bucky" ... went after the goblins most likely to the caves where they originated their attack from. Hero foolhardily accepted the mission and set out for the cave location. So the group traveled north west on horseback in search of the cave system and suited up to go spelunking. We came across some Orcs, giant-arse spiders and some other unsavory characters. We managed to beat the Orcish Champion and saved Bucky, though it was pretty clear there was still more treasure and adventure to be had inside this series of caves. We are currently heading back to town to resupply and regroup. This next adventure into the caves we had best be fully prepared.. the first episode resulted with Dardosh getting a fat lip, Hero getting tussled, and Dragonman had a feather put in his cap.

Sometime after freeing Bucky from his captors Ladrithor and I were approached by a young squire named little Joe, he informed us that Gula wanted to hire us as protection for some fancy dinner party he was throwing. With the promise of gold we agreed. It turns out that Gula was a morbidly obese dwarf who was incapable of growing a beard. He disgusted us with his dinner etiquette and seemed overly interested in dragon artifacts. After dinner we moved to the smoking room where he used black powder from his fire places to knock us out. We awoke in a prison below and fought thugs and other ruffians in order to get back to the main floor of Gula's mansion. We eventually found him hiding in his room where he informed us of his intent for us and how we were to be disposed of for knowing anything about the dragon artifacts. We beat him into submission and took his magical items and made a dash for it. Something tells me we haven't heard the last of that fat disgusting bastard.

---A few days later---

The crew helped a woman escape from a petrified forest of some nature... I wasn't around for any of their mishap adventures that day. We found that the girls father had found an ancient piece of iridescent dragon scale armor encased inside an old petrified tree. Hero took the armor but isn't currently wearing it.

Durandal, Lad and I picked up a barrel of ale and got annihilated then went bar hopping to see if we could find any rumors around town. We ended finding that a farmer MacReady has been experiencing quakes and cattle mutilation etc. So we ventured into the cave below the farm and fought a dragon like creature who killed Dragon man... it was just about the saddest thing our crew ever experienced. Oh yeah... Hero died too. We dragged their bodies back to Durandal's house and payed for a resurrection ritual returning their spirits to their bodies. Once again, we ventured into the cave...
