MERCENARY OF THE WEEK: DRAVEN OF THE RED BULL MONSTER SQUAD
Some mercenaries swing swords.
Some lift mountains.
Draven spits poison.
This week, Draven began formal rogue training under Aligher the Quartermaster — a veteran scout whose knives are quieter than his footsteps. Alongside Aligher, David the Herbologist has taken Draven under his wing to teach the delicate art of toxins, antidotes, and controlled application.
Draven’s natural tiefling resistance to poison — and his unique poison spit — make him a perfect candidate for covert operations. Under supervision, he’s begun stabilizing his own venom into a usable field toxin.
New Item Unlocked:
Essence of Ether
A rare poison recovered from the shipwreck. Draven is now certified to handle, apply, and weaponize it safely.
Training Notes:
Demonstrated precision with concealed blades, preferring the farmer's sickle
Successfully applied controlled venom to training dummies
Learned two new rogue maneuvers
Did not accidentally poison Aligher (a win for everyone)
Draven’s path is clear:
Scout. Rogue. Poisonmaster.
Bleakspire is safer — and its enemies more nervous — because he’s on our side.
