'''D'Kacilius Venrai''' is a level | '''D'Kacilius Venrai''' is a level 7 Amethyst Dragonborn Hexblade Warlock devoted to Silent, the Arbiter of Death. He is one of the last remaining [[Whispered Reapers]], the original cult that worshipped Silent. His soul holds fragments of the Great Lord Azzoketh and “Honey-Tongued” Rirra, who are bound by Casi’Kulid, an ancient Draconic aspect. | ||

On his own request, D’Kacilius is currently being kept under watch in case The One That Waits is able to influence him through his connection with Silent. | ||

Recently (leveling up to level 7), D'Kacilius regained the ability to remove magical effects ('''Dispel Magic'''). He is also better at maintaining concentration spells ('''Eldritch Mind''') and is now able to create a shadowy cloak that obscures D'Kacilius, weakens radiant attacks, and hurts enemies who attack with melee strikes ('''Shadow of Moil''') instead of just creating a shimmer ('''<s>Blur</s>'''). | Recently (leveling up to level 7), D'Kacilius regained the ability to remove magical effects ('''Dispel Magic''').

D’Kacilius somehow became broke. Luckily, the Pradassis Mining Conglamorate recently placed an ad for adventurers for help to deal with an issue in their mines.

After D’Kacilius had a brief argument with the boss (read: threatened) and believed that the PMC was a front for the mob, the party signed an NDA and went off towards the mines. During preparation, Kaba was somehow able to procure two mining bombs from Crazy Cobold Cevin’s Combustibles, while D’Kacilius went off on a small hunting trip and claimed an elk’s soul with the Sword of Vengeance. The party then rode the mining elevator down into the mines, keeping a safe distance from Kaba, who was carrying the two bombs. | After D’Kacilius had a brief argument with the boss (read: threatened) and believed that the PMC was a front for the mob, the party signed an NDA and went off towards the mines.

D’Kacilius was broke. Again. This time, he found an ad by the TLC for an escort that seemed to pay handsomely, but also had zero information on the request. The only “important” thing was that the word “important” was listed four times. The party included five other adventurers: the Human Eldritch Knight Felicia Du Manoir, the Tiefling Ranger/Rogue Violet Lorinda, the Tiefling Warlock Trina Aliosh, the Eladrin Bard of Eloquence Tristram Caniedydd, and the New Dryad Circle of Spores Druid Grandmush. | D’Kacilius was broke.

Recent shipments were stolen, and the escorts were all knocked out by an unknown force, although they were unharmed. After negotiating with the boss about increased pay for the danger involved (and getting gaslighted about a “double-j”), the party set off with the wagons. Felicia had to stay at a distance, since she was carrying Fellstone, which reacted dangerously if both ores came into contact with each other. As they passed through a logging camp, the drivers discovered that the log bridge the wagons were supposed to cross was cut. Tristram noticed strange statues nearby, and as he approached one, the statue suddenly came to life and attacked him. Four more similar creatures materialized from invisibility and attacked. | ||
The horses were spooked, but one horse was hypnotized to keep it from running away. The strange statues, which resembled robotic centaurs, attacked ferociously. Two robocentaurs immediately knocked out Violet and Trina with wild swings, but nonlethally. Additionally, they were able to shoot gems that all had various effects. D’Kacilius was Eldritch Blasting when a robocentaur teleported right into his face. He quickly Cursed the robocentaur, but immediately got knocked unconscious. Grandmush was able to revive D’Kacilius, who got angry and sprouted his wings and started Blasting from the sky. Tristram Polymorphed into a T-Rex and made quick work of a robocentaur. | The horses were spooked, but one horse was hypnotized to keep it from running away.

D’Kacilius received a message from Hugo asking for help on an upcoming expedition up to the Northern Snowy Mountains.

D’Kacilius met Hugo in a hamlet a far distance from Gammelgard, while also bringing Aedynn along. The adventuring party consisted of: the Human Hexblade Warlock/Rogue Hugo Clarion, the Protoforged Clockwork Soul Sorcerer/Hexblade Warlock Vessel, the Red Dragonborn Beast Master Ranger Oxan Lightkeeper, the Relith “Alchemist Artificer” (read: doctor), an unknown (Simic Hybrid) Gloomstalker Ranger/Assassination Rogue Silythm Shadeheart, and the Human Light Cleric Aedynn Tylaster. | D’Kacilius received a message from Hugo asking for help on an upcoming expedition up to the Northern Snowy Mountains.

After a couple hours of flying, the Bonney Robert landed near a cavern, and the adventurers disembarked. Silythm opted to scout ahead and discovered a semi-complex cave system with a yeti and several frost salamanders. The party began to stealth their way in, when Oxan’s donkey Rabbit suddenly brayed, and several ice mephit swarms ambushed the adventurers. The mephits were hiding on the nearby cliffs, and combat began. | ||
As the party fought the ice mephits, they quickly realized that the mephits would shatter and spray ice shards as they died. Hugo ran to a cave and adopted the hit-and-hide strategy, while D’Kacilius tried to Eldritch Blast without triggering any shrapnel. Vessel and Silythm were caught in the unfortunate crossfire and downed several times as the mephits swarmed around them. D’Kacilius got hurt extremely badly when an ice mephit swarm blasted him with frosty breath. | As the party fought the ice mephits, they quickly realized that the mephits would shatter and spray ice shards as they died.

Eventually, a loud rumble echoed from the cavern entrance. The yeti stormed out and began attacking the party, along with a frost salamander. Things took a turn for the worst when Ensign, Vessel, Silythm ''and'' D’Kacilius all got knocked out from the yeti’s frost breath. Vessel was able to recover and cast Aid to revive D’Kacilius and Silythm, but only temporarily. The yeti immediately knocked out Vessel and D’Kacilius with a powerful strike, and almost threw Ensign off the cliff. Luckily, the Bonney Robert was close enough to provide artillery support with its cannons. With insane luck, everyone was able to escape to the ship. | Eventually, a loud rumble echoed from the cavern entrance.
