Notes

• Eslav Goldenscales is a Saurian Bard from the Village of Westmarch that is part of a small bardic troupe that travels around the area. He is the group's lute player and his companions include a Half-Elf Dancer, a Human Firebreather, and a Halfling pipe player. In addition to performing entertaining work, the group has raided dungeons or fought nefarious forces with the occasional team up with non-Bards.
• 'Lavi' as he's sometimes known favors buffing and utility magic in lieu of attack spells. His lute is socketed with a Flourite gem that makes it more difficult for targets to resist such as Friends, Animal Friendship, or Sleep. In addition to spells, Eslav's gem makes targets heal quicker when under the effect of his Song of Rest.
• While traveling from Westmarch to the Village of Cliffton, the troupe has come under attack by a band of ogres that are trying to waylay travelers for food and whatever valuables they can get out of them. While they were looking forward to a simple Bardic performance in the village, Eslav and the rest of the party are preparing to deal with the trouble along with the others who were traveling as part of the caravan.
