Ka-Ess: Difference between revisions

Ka-Ess was a 6'5" blue lizardman with scattered orange frills and webbing. He was thin for a lizardman, not unusual for the less robust males. His eyes were yellow, with long slitted pupils. He had small, sharp, evenly spaced teeth and gracefully curving black claws. On his foreleg knuckles was tattooed the magical device HOLD FAST, on the knuckles of his hands, HOLD TRUE.

Though his scales were bright and burnished, he bore some scars from various battles and misadventures that were the subject of Ka-Ess's vain insecurities.

With only what he had stolen from Drax, Ka-Ess arranged lodgings at [[The Wayward Lobster]] and began his search for a ship and crew to exact revenge on the Hag and seize her holdings. It was here that he met [[Ardrick Blackstone]] and [[Ilabrar Nightbreeze]], who answered his advertisement for "rough and rowdy sailors seeking fabulous fortunes." Assembling a scrappy raiding party, they captured the <i>Neglected Fishwife</i>, rechristened it The <i>[[Satisfied Fishwife]]</i>, and set out in search of glory and adventure. The period of his life spent with [[The Fishwives]] was one of the most profitable and productive of his career, and it was at this time that he first attained wider notoriety in the Skaugan region.

In [[218 V.II]], during the height of the [[halfling refugee crisis]], the [[Marquis de Rothshyr]] hired Ka-Ess and his companions as couriers to escort [[glowing red gem|a package]] to his estate. Immediately sensing their usefulness, the Marquis then retained [[the Fishwives]] as adventurers and arranged to install Ka-Ess as a [[High Captain]] in the Skaugan assembly ahead of a crucial vote on [[the halfling question]]. Though untrained in politics and largely unaware of the position's responsibilities, Ka-Ess accepted the nomination immediately, with consequences still felt throughout the region today.
