Names Bozcov. I’m a Wizard.
Eladrin Wizard actually. Grew up in the Fey city right outside Sanction. City only appears at Dusk and Dawn, you know just like all the fairy tale bullshit.
Learned a little about nature and swords and history growing up, but Magic was always my strength. Don’t find time in my life for much else.
Family maybe. At least my daughter, Syrinna. She loves nature and swords and spears, but this isn’t about her. Then there’s that brother of mine. He’s also got the gift of Magic. His is different though. Darker. He and I never see completely eye to eye. He’s still family though.
Syrinna’s mother, Laurenth. Now there was a woman. Taken by the Damn Drow soon after Syrinna was born. Never found her body. Couldn’t have a proper Good Bye. Never forgiven the drow since. Especially that one. THE ONE as far as I concerned. Don’t know that fuckers name but her image is burned in my brain. When we tracked down the group Laurenth was hunting, she was the leader who got away. BITCH. I’m tired of thinking about it.

6.10.08 Captured by Pirates. Yea, that sucked.
Made a trip to Sanction for research. Wasn’t paying attention and got jumped like a punk and taken aboard some ship. Lucky for me my daughter tracked down my brother, then the two of them found the ship that had me.
Met a Dragonborn (Bestovian), and a Halfling (Shorty), that was good at getting out of binds that helped me escape the ship. With the help of pair of elves (Kelvonis and his sidekick) that were on Syrianna’s ship we all managed to beat a hasty retreat from the pirates. Most of them were down as we left, but the tiefling captain was up, untouched, and helped others of his crew back up.
After the two week trip back to Sanction, our group started to get along a little bit. I was thankful my weird brother came to help save me and decided to take him up on his offer to stay the night. I even decided to take our group for one last meal that wasn’t rations or fish.
Bestovian heard of strange happenings at the Tower of Klothos. I’d always had an interest in investigated the tower but could never get a group together to go. You’d be stupid to go alone. I think everyone was ready to stretch their legs after two weeks and more at sea, so we went.
After floor after floor of jack shit, we found a suspicious section. Actually had a few torches that were being used. We found one room covered in dust and cobwebs. Shorty and Bestovian went in first, the skeletons that were hiding in the cobwebs went in second. My daughter charged in third, and eventually I magic missiled one or two. My brother and Kelvonis kept us on our feet, and the elven archer covered our backs. Our group proved hearty enough to take them out.

Nice. Seems a little more like a hard-boiled noir PI than an eladrin wizard, but at least your eladrin isn't named "Edwin". I really like the first person narrative style. Please continue.

6.17.08
After 5 minutes to catch our breath that felt like a week, we decided to double back another direction, figuring the heavy dust would be a tell tale sign if anyone or thing came from the door beyond that hung ajar. Bestovian realized he dropped his keys back somewhere in the tower above so he and Shorty went to look for them.
The rest of our group went up another hall, opened a door and got reemed by a couple of the fasted ghouls I’ve ever heard of. Syrinna impulsively fey stepped inside the room and got wrecked. Kelvonis could not get past the ghoul in the door, but held them from spilling into the hallway and the rest of the group. Valendar and I, Fey Stepped into the room to rescue my daughter. The ghoul had begun feasting on her unconscious body as I picked her up and carried her away, as my brother covered us and healed her. With a few of us in the room now to distract the ghouls and properly use our powers we defeated them.
We followed a few hallways to a room filled with shit. The terrain was difficult to traverse. We were quickly swarmed by 5 or so Dire Rats. The rats proved to me no match for us but not before I, and many of our group were bitten and contracted “filth fever.” Fortunately no one seemed to suffer any long term effects. Shorty caught up with us here also, tired of looking for Bostovius’ keys.
Our group was getting weary, especially Syrinna who had become a damage magnet, so we looked for a place for a longer, dare I say extended, rest. We found a great big room to rest in that was perfect, so of course we opened another door.
Inside we found two humans, apparently a Wizard and his bodyguard. Kelvonis charged ahead, others of us stayed behind cover. Shorty was knocked unconscious. The wizard hit us with thunder. We hit back with missiles both magic and mundane. Just as we were about to defeat the Wizard, he snuck through an Arcane Locked secret door. We defeated the bodyguard, but could not get through the door. Until shorty’s Thievery got us in. At this point we decided we should actually rest, extendedly.
After we realized that setting watch was silly with all us Eladrins in the party, we decided to track down that damn wizard. I hate loose ends.
We traveled down the secret passage to what looked liked the base of a tower. Shorty attacked the snake. The rest of us smartly climbed the stairs and shot it from a distance. Kelvonis bailed out shorty by flanking it. It died.
We climbed to the next level, remembered that we forgot to rest 5 minutes, rested 5 minutes, then climbed through a trap door into another room. No one could tell if we were above ground or not. Damn Bostovius loosing his keys, I bet he had the skills necessary to know.
We were not really surprised to learn that the Wizard was up there. It was a little surprising that a Dire Bear was out of its cage and attacking anyone who came through the trapdoor. Some nice maneuvering of the bear quickly put it back in its cage. Would have really been sweet if we had locked the door. The Wizard tried the same tricks plus a Wand of Ray of Enfeeblement. It wasn’t enough. The bear was tougher. Ultimately we kicked its ass.

It's short for Eliardwinthalas thank you very much, from a random elven name generator, i just made Edwin for short utilizing the name, wouldn't it be a pain trying to call me that all the time??
And i love the narrative, please keep it up
