Description: Houndaer is a somewhat unattractive
and quiet drow elf (which makes him unremarkable and easily ignored by
human standards). He wears black pants, a dark gray shirt, a black vest,
and dark gray boots, all of which are usually concealed by his threadbare
robe
of blending. He wears no armor, and keeps a short sword on his left
side and a small quiver of wands on his right. He truly becomes animate
when in combat, protecting himself with spells and using either his wands
or his sword against his enemies. He often uses the change self
power of his robe to go about in disguise.
History and Personality: Houndaer was a soldier
in a noble house in a southern drow city, and when he was recruited to
aid in a teleport-raid on a rival house, he swiped the spellbook from an
apprentice he killed during the raid. Determined to figure out the cryptic
text in the book, he was suprised to find that learning it came fairly
easy to him, and he began studying the Art in secret. After several years
of living a strange double life, he fled his house and came to the surface,
where he joined with other expatriated drow and furthered his magical studies.
He now travels the surface lands looking for unusual magic items and spells
to augment his martial prowess, for he still retains a fondness for direct
combat, enjoying the surprised looks on the faces of those whom he skewers
with his sword after unleashing a fireball.
He normally uses one 1st-level spell slot each day
to cast mage armor (reflected in the above statistics) or uses a
charge from his wand if he anticipates only a short schedule, and gives
himself a charge from his wands of cat's grace and endurance
when he expects to be fighting.
