Equipment: Standard drow adventuring gear, plus his spellbook (written in drow), Prong (an exceptional trident, granting the wielder a non-magical +1 to hit & damage), an adamantite net (which is so well crafted it only allows half the normal chance to escape and causes 1d2 points of damage), and a pair of red steel daggers (hit as silver weapons, and are half speed and half weight).

Magic Items: A Teleport ring*, everbright silver bracers of defense AC 2, a ceramic pig*, and a signal speculum.

Combat/tactics: Uthegen'ryld is a terror to behold, his father was none other than the legendary Uthegental, the former Weapons Master of house Barrison Del' Armgo of Menzoberranzan. He commonly fights by grabbing his opponent and piking them on his trident, all the while dancing through battlefields at if it were only a party in Waterdeep. His net and daggers have also been used to devistating effect; he once killed 4 werewolves alone with the small bladed weapons!

Allies/Companions: Jacko Jonson and Moonshade, among others.

Foes/Enemies: All evil organizations (especially the Zhentarim), and those that despoil the land.

Appearance: Uthegen'ryld is a monster even compared to his huge father! He stands a full 6' tall and weighs in at a monstrous 204 pounds. He is the largest drow to ever walk on or under the Realms. Uthegen'ryld wears a tank-top, cannons, and elven boots (each with a dagger sheath built into it) all made of fine leather. Under his leather top, he wears a sleeveless white chemise. His eyes are a brilliant lime green, in both the light and the glow of infravision. Uthegen'ryld's hair is by far the strangest thing about him, as it is short and spiked on the top, while the back and sides are long and pulled back into a tight ponytail. He never wears a cloak and his Bladesinger tattoo is of a solifugid, done exquisitely in silver ink! Uthegen'ryld now bears a fine scar around his left ear from the loss of it during a fight. It was ripped off by the stone axe of a quaggoth chieftain, and only the healing magic of the deep gnomes saved the extremity!

Personality: Uthegen'ryld is a quiet, loyal drow elf with a burning hatred for Lolth, who has perverted his kin and twisted their souls into heartless bits of metal. On the surface he watches over those who travel and protects them from a distance. He has a bad temper and above all the Zhentarim and everything they stand for. The Zhentarim are his species enemy (all evil humans, but Zhents in particular), therefore he doesn't have much luck when encountering humans for the first time.

Experience (+10%): 61,903/86,359.

Experience For Next Level: 75,000/90,000.

Locales Frequented: The North, the Dalelands, Cormanthyr, and the Western Heartlands.

History: Born in the Year of the Blacksnake, Uthegen'ryld was sired by none other than Uthegental himself! Because of his emmense natural talent, he was stolen by the Deathsingers (the Bladesingers of the drow) guild and became the first elf to ever use the trident with Bladesong. Nearly dying in the Elven Court, Uthegen'ryld was rescued by a druid and then nurtured back to health by an elven ranger.

The ranger treated him no better than a slave, but he eventually became his friend as they fought against orcs attacking the ranger's home. Uthegen'ryld broke this bonds and came to the elf's rescue as an orc was about to backstab him. The ranger then let him go into the Realms, but told Uthegen'ryld that he always had a home with him.

As a Deathsinger, Uthegen'ryld eventually meet some humans and others that accepted him (only after he saved their lives). With this rag-tag bunch of would-be heroes, he helped to free Dagger Falls of the rule of the Zhentarim. These evil humans were as evil as his kin in the underdark, or so the ranger told him!

With this great feat completed, he became accepted slightly by Randal Morn and the others who had battled against the Zhents during their evil reign. He gained the personal coat of arms seal of Randal (which gives him safety and free supplies from Dagger Falls, should he ever need them) and also became an appentise of Elminster for an entire year! He has since then, been accepted as good by the Harpers and has made several long-lasting friendships among the rangers throughout the Western Heartlands, Dalelands, and the North. He was also give 10 acres in Shadowdale (off away from the rural area). This is where his lone one-story cabin is located, and is rumored to be close to Elminster's land!

Motivations/Goals: To range far and wide over the lands making a name for himself like fellow dark elf, Drizzt Do'Urden.

Campaign Uses: A ranger and guide, Uthegen'ryld can be used as a shadowy assitant or quick help an Underdark location.

Unique Abilities:

  • Battle Magic: As a Deathsinger, Uthegen'ryld can cast spells one-handed in combat, even if in the front lines! While casting spells in this way, Uthegen'ryld's AC improves by 4 points and his spells all suffer a +2 initiative penalty (as he is casting with only one hand).

    Enhanced Senses: From his azmyth familiar, Uthegen'ryld has a +1 on all surprise rolls.

    Kyorlia (Azmyth Familiar): AC 2; MV 3, Fl 24 (A); HD 2 (+7); hp 20; THAC0 19; #AT 2; Dmg 1/1d2; SA unleash a shocking grasp attack (1d8+6) through any direct contact 2/day, this can be combined with an attack for cumulative damage; SD know alignment 3/day, become invisible (self only, for 6 rounds or less; ending when the azmyth makes any successful attack) 1/day, and create a silence 15' radius, centered on itself 1/day; SZ S (3' wingspan, 4' long); MR 40%; ML fearless (20); AL CN; XP 650.

    Kyorlia (which means "Guardian" in drow) is a leathery emerald green azmyth with crested head, white pupilless eyes and a beared chin. Uthegen'ryld calls her his little Velkyn-Kyorlia (drow for "unseen guardian"). She emits shrill squeaks of alarm or rage, and endearing, liquid chuckles of delight or amusement. She communicates via 60'-range telepathy, and has 90' infravision. She is very protective of Uthegen'ryld and never takes her eyes off of any other females around him (especially drow females)!

    In combat she bites (1 hp damage) and stabs with her powerful needle-sharp tail (1d2 points). She also combines her shocking grasp ability with her tail attack when she deems her target dangerous.
