Kelrick

Player: Stoic Race: Human Class: Wizard (Spellblade)

Notes

Has a hidden noble background — his noble brother has been actively searching for him in Icewind Dale [🔒 Stoic only]
Old friend of Vae (a drow in hiding) — they share a dangerous past, possibly escaping from Rivet’s End prison together [🔒 Stoic only]
Carries the Summer Star orb (weather-control artifact capable of casting Control Weather 1/day) — the most powerful artifact the party currently holds
Skilled alchemist and potion-maker; made a Frost Drake Draught, Volatile Heat Tonic, and other experimental brews during downtime
His Counterspell on Valkyrian’s Vampiric Touch targeting Alaric Razor is widely considered the best single decision in the campaign so far
Researching Rings of Mind Shielding as a future crafting project

Summer Star (held) — Control Weather 1/day; how to use unclear to outsiders
Volatile Heat Tonic — experimental; thrown like a grenade; coated Thorkin in cold foam and made things chaotic
Counterspell — used his last 3rd-level slot to block Vampiric Touch on Alaric mid-fight
Mage Hand, Detect Magic, various prepared spells

Part of the original party; helped clear the fortress and investigate the Warden vision

Identified and disarmed traps in the Chardalyn mine
Defeated a spectre in the mine (briefly lowered his max HP)
Used Mage Hand to try and safely retrieve the Summer Star orb — triggered the explosion that vaporized Nalla and Dekyna

Secretly met with Vae behind the rival tavern; arranged her hiding at the inn
Introduced Vae to the party with a cover story; asked them to act normal if his brother returns
Spent the week in his room experimenting with potions

Forged the third ring for the Summer Star using improvised tools and magical ink
Attuned to the Summer Star (1 hour) and cast Control Weather — summoned the sun for the first time in years
Gained Blessing of the Morning Lord: 10 temp HP at dawn permanently

Bought a new spell book (12 spells); sold old one back; net cost 145 GP
Learned about the buried tower north of the Spine through clever roleplay (Thorkin fake-cried while Kelrick asked sympathetically about the burned wizard)
Met Alaric Razor and Larry Grazer; planning expedition to Sea of Moving Ice

Counterspelled Valkyrian’s Vampiric Touch targeting Alaric — used his last 3rd-level slot; saved Alaric’s life
Briefly went unconscious; recovered
Investigated Alaric post-fight (medicine + arcana) — identified necrotic saturation similar to Meldir’s curse
