Caislen Campaign Notes

• Wyrd is pronounced as “Weird” in this case.
• Tries to just go by “Uncle Lugo” when he first meets people that know his “niece”. The Wyrd is technically the full name to distinguish how messed up the relationship(s) are¹⁾.
• Some sort of high level demon that can either wear the skin of others or is really bad at taking a humanoid looking form. When encountered for the first time he was in The Card House looking & moving awkwardly²⁾.
• Supposedly an “uncle” to those of Jules's step mother's Kess's Tiefling family that only appears every few generations. No direct evidence that anyone would know this guy would appear in the lifetime of Jules or remember such a character from her backstory³⁾.
• Officially noted as “having a Charlie Sheen vibe.”
  • As all Tieflings have infernal bloodlines that's how a demon could readily be a distant relative. Given the lifespan of demons vs generic Tieflings as well, that makes this guy someone who can check on the old family tree any time they get bored with their existence and wish to meddle.
• Seems able to appear and vanish at will.
• Encourages exciting things / is very curious.
• Managed to con The Party into a dungeon environment full of shenanigans that didn't seem to exist before he came along. So may have some very interesting abilities or strategizing capabilities to make that happen.
  • Left Jules with a “purple potion that bubbles inside of a small glass vial” from that same dungeon⁴⁾.

The Crompse Causal Loop largely elaborates on “Uncle Lugo's” role in Jules' life. In this loop Lugo essentially manipulates events over a few thousand years to bring Jules to the past, tying her family history to his, and ruining Skip's life while at it. Lugo's role in the loop is one of being magically bound to Skip and needing to win a bet to escape that bond, which for this character would basically represent eternal enslavement if he didn't pull it off. These relevant things happen as a result:

• Skip's life is ruined because everything involving infertility that plagues him is by design of Lugo & a curse.
  • Ema's life is impacted by Lugo by default since that's why her marriage to Skip fell apart.
  • Phil's life is impacted as most of Skip's hatred for years has been largely misdirected at him.
• Jules' tiefling adopted mother Kess was secretly orchestrated into her life by Lugo to get his own ancestor into the mix intentionally. If you're actually taking the time to read this and want to know WHY he'd go that far it is so he could validly claim to be a relative of Jules in the future when he is taken by the party to meet Kim.⁵⁾
  • It is very likely that Lugo also orchestrated the ousting of Jules' biological father.
• Skip becomes the great x (unknown) levels of grandfather to Jules.
  • It is an unknown if the lineage came from Jule's mom Nix's or her dad's side though.
  • Skip is unaware of this connection.
• Lugo rewards Jules for her help getting the painting made by claiming he'll stay away from her for awhile & deliver her letter to Kess over in Havenspass.

As promised, Wyrd Uncle Lugo goes to Havenspass and delivers the letter Jules wrote for Kess. This is the first time Lugo officially meets both Kess and her wife Nix. It is probably safe to assume that Lugo is used to these sort of odd reunions, but it might have been a little, or a lot more awkward for Jules' Moms to discover that the family tree has such a unique set of branches.

This visit to Havenspass would have been otherwise fine, had not The Party managed to enter Krymec's Vault and use it to transport themselves across continents instantly to the Havenspass region. This caught Lugo's attention and in a very short span of time everyone was reunited. Lugo then introduced Jules and friends to Simp The Imp as her Wyrd Step Cousin.

Whilst Lugo personally seemed to be amicably hanging out in Havenspass, even getting on with Jules' Moms, it didn't go so smooth for Simp The Imp. Jules grew suspicious of him and left him to die in a dungeon, which was preventable. Later she played it off to Lugo by retelling events as if Simp had died a hero trying to save The Party.

Lugo, saddened, said his goodbyes and said he had to leave town to do some soul searching and inform “the family.”
