Spoiler:
  • When someone surprises her outside of combat, she will fight until the transgressor is wounded.
  • Upgraded during Fire in the Belly, Vralino is now triggered by all thieves that she is aware of. They must be killed.
  • When she knows someone is lying to her, she will fight until the transgressor is unconscious, unwilling to believe any further statements from the transgressor.
  • When someone speaks ill of her father, Jarock, she will attempt to kill the transgressor.
  • Developed by the first death Vralino saw in Grakor Groundkeeping. When an ally receives their third wound (temporary included), Vralino will attempt to wound the assailant who caused the third wound three times. An ally can accomplish this on Vralino's behalf. These wounds are not cumulative across multiple sources; three wounds must come from a single ally or Vralino herself.
  • Developed by Vralino's first unconscious status in combat in Up Upandal!, when an ambush attack causes a wound, Vralino will attempt to render the assailant unconscious. Vralino will attempt to capture the assailant for torture/behavioral modification.

Animal Companions: None

Brief Backstory:
Vralino, bastard offspring between an Ork Weaponsmith Jarock Hammer-Shield and his charge, an Elven Wizard named Calina, grew up with her parents until she and her mother went missing on her sixth year of life. Lost for several years, she reunited with her father when she was 13, but her mother remained missing and possibly dead. For two years, Vralino was trained in combat, eventually favoring the spear. She picked up the shield thanks to her father. Two years later she left her father to follow her own path, mostly because she had grown up without any supervision or guidance. Gullible and impressionable, she favors feigning stupidity because it makes people laugh, although at times it seems she might actually have learning issues. Despite growing up alone, she has an immense amount of respect for her father, since he was able to find her and become an adult role model for her. Following in his morals, she tends to be altruistic and resents any form of injustice, particularly towards her own person.

Proposed gahad changes
  • When someone surprises her outside of combat, she will fight until the transgressor is wounded. The wound can be caused by an ally on her behalf.
  • When someone steals something from her, regardless of how minuscule, she will initiate combat until the item is returned, either willingly or by force.
  • When she knows someone is lying to her, she will fight until the transgressor is unconscious, unwilling to believe any further statements from the transgressor. At DM's discretion, this would result in an increased SD for interaction tests from the transgressor, although I doubt they would be used by NPCs.
  • When someone speaks ill of her father, Jarock, she will attempt to kill the transgressor. She must land the killing blow or suffer from gahad hangover (harried, Player's Guide Pg 50) starting when the transgressor died.
