Mal's uncle Richard taught him the finer art of making people happy through illusions. Mel is searching for his family's killer(s) while presenting himself as an illusionist. Mel will not stop until he has killed _________, who he has made an enemy of by killing several of his best men. See attached sheet for far more detail. Backpack: Malachi's backpack contains a change of clothes (Pantaloon and shirt). It also contains a average sized tome bound in the hide of some unknown creature. Embossed on the cover is the name of Mel's dead uncle - Kyron Renolds. The book is hinge locked by a small golden padlock. This lock cannot be opened at all, except by with the hand of Kyron's killer. Magic and the best locksmiths could not open this lock. The book itself was a gift from Kryon to Mal on Kyron's deathbed. "When the time is right, and you have avenged my death, the world will be yours." The contents of the book itself are a complete mystery. Magical scanning of the book is prevented by some absorption spell - it absorbs all spells cast at it. Perhaps it contains a spell to grant Magery to it's owner and several illusion spells (GM's discretion.) Travelling Case: Malachi's travelling case contains several of the necessary items that a travelling magician would need. Scarfs, a top-hat with a concealed bottom, loops, coins, a bottle, trick knife. Mel only deals with mechanical items - no magic at all. Horse: Mel's horse "Nelly" is brown. The saddle contains a scabbard for Mel's shortsword. 50' of rope are coiled and hanging from the left side of the saddle. Mel's money sack is hidden on the saddle (Underneath a saddle pocket.) There is also a side quiver of arrows. Mule: Mel's mule "Bubby" is splotch black on a light brown background. Bubby is only stubborn to those that are mean to it (a person is "mean" only if they don't give it a carrot every so often.) Bubby's packs include Mel's entire wardrobe, several days of water and food rations, and a small sack of grain to supplement Nelly and Bubby's diet. Several cooking implements are in a sack on Bubby's side. Story: Malichi Renolds was a restless child of a general store merchant in _______________. His father, Richard, wanted his only child to follow in his father's footsteps. And like any restless child, Mel wanted nothing to do with his father's way of life. Now his uncle Kyron, now there was an exciting life! Kyron was a travelling magician, throwing shows for the young and young at heart. Kyron's shows were entertaining, and they always seemed to attract large crowds (Which is strange because Kyron never seemed to use magic during the shows.) During this time Mel was quickly heading down the wayward path of becoming a thief. He was already proficient at stealing small object; placing them on other people if it was ever apparent that he was about to be caught. He soon made the best mistake of his life: he stole from his uncle while he was visiting. His uncle caught the boy during the act. Instead of unleashing the wrath of his mother on young Mel, he beat the shit out of the boy himself. A few days later Kyron came by and offered Mel a proposition: apprentice under me and learn the wonders of being an illusionist, or spend the rest of Mel's days as a clerk of a small general store. Mel of course jumped at it. Richard and Jenny Renolds were not too happy about Kyron's plans for the boy, but Richard owed his brother his life, so he repaid with his son. Years passed and Mel's skills improved. Times came when Mel and Kyron had to steal just to stay alive, and times came where they could afford to give 70% of all that they made to the poor. Mel learned life's lesson: make more people laugh, less people will frown. When they returned to visit _______________, Mel and Kyron's past caught up with them. They had stolen from _______________, and _____________ never took kindly to being stolen from. ________________ revenge was acted on thus: kill Kyron and his family. ______________ group almost successfully completed their task, except that Mel was able to evade them. Ever since that day, Mel has been following ______________, watching him build his army ever so slowly. Town: Average citizen's clothing under a light brown cloak. Shortsword in scabbard, and moneybelt worn. A dagger concealed in his boot and in his left breast pocket. Travelling case in hand. Backpack on back. Country: Scale armor underneath dark brown cloak. Shortsword in saddle scabbard, bow slung on shoulder. Backpack attached to saddle bags, mule is carrying travel case + props. Dagger in concealed in boot and left breast pocket. ----- TL ==[ Tony J.
