Caislen Campaign Notes

PLAYER CHARACTERS

FYI: I've left the main PCs blank to create in the hopes that the players will make their own notes. So please feel free to get in there and create actual entries for them. Your characters are linked all over this wiki. I'm also tracking XP after games on this particular page now to help with what we'll call “drunk math”. Also see the Backstories section for more misc character details.

The Party

Anywhere on our campaign's website where something says “The Party” refers to whomever the active player characters are, which at the moment is usually Eyrun, Jules, Urist & Alimir.

  - Met some cloud giants in Mustardia but unfortunately was a “Wild Puffapod”³⁾ at the time so couldn't speak or even be her real form as a Goliath. So the one person who could really be meeting distant kin, didn't truly do it.
  - Mustardia had a “cloud stone” of some sort that wasn't too dissimilar from Eyrun's holy symbol.
- 6210xp as of 2026-02-24 (gained 540)

  - Discovered she has a half sister Phoebe.
  - Got herself and friends sucked into organized crime via running an errand for Atlas.
    - This was beneficial, slightly for Kess & Nix in reducing their “protection money” to Atlas. Her value to Jules' family increased.
  - It was revealed to everyone that Eyrun never did the Goliath traditional pilgrimage to a shrine in the Cloudfire Mountains to signify becoming an adult. Her social status in the Havenspass community suffers for it.
- 9722xp as of 2026-04-21 (gained 587xp)

  - Traded a few more verbal daggers with Succu when they ran into each other in Oakenshire.
  - Had a theory that conjuring bath water from the Alchemy Bottle would destroy low level undead skeletons as if it was a potent Holy Water. She was correct.
  - Broke out the Wand Of Wonders and began using it against an undead that was attempting to flee.
  - DM'S NOTE: Drinking potions that can have strong and unpredictable effects, being pretty sure she's stealing bath water from a god, and using high powered chaos themed wands are all fairly clear indicators of a chaotic alignment.
- 11342xp as of 2026-05-05 (gained 760xp, 10xp is from heroic tunnel collapse.)
  - Promised her half sister Phoebe that she'd go on the pilgrimage up the Cloudfire Mountains to the Cloud Giant Shrine with her.

- Became Level 2.
1000xp as of 2026-02-17 (gained 500)

  - Somehow led the party to A.L.I.Z.A. seeking a cure for being a therianthrope.
    - A.L.I.Z.A. theorized that the Cloud Stone Ring of Eyrun's had cured Natalie, that it might do the same for Alimir. This same theory insisted on causing trauma to stimulate the ring to activate. Which led to Alimir getting The Party dumped into the Tarot Trauma Dungeon.

- 5527xp as of 2026-04-28 (gained 850xp)

  - In a standoff with Markoff, on the edge of some epic event / moment, Alimir chose to destroy a single very important vial of blood intended for a ritual.
