Kyorlin grew up in Menzoberranzan hearing tales of his “infamous” cousin, and how evil he was for shunning

Eventually he hit upon the idea of disguising himself and pretending to be his cousin. This has served him
well but his lack of knowledge about the real incidents and adventurers of his cousin limits the accuracy of

Legends tell of an elite force that protects Mirabar from any danger. Most
people assume this to be the Axes of Mirabar but a select few know the
truth, hidden in the shadows of the mines are the spies and assassins.
Trained in the use of poison, herbalism and spy craft, Ghosts of Mirabar are
resourceful and relentless in their pursuit of targets perceived to be a threat
to Mirabar.
It is said that if the Ghosts have you in their sights, you should start making

Encounters At The Wayside Inn ~33~

Description
Acolytes are junior members of a clergy, usually answerable to a priest. They perform a variety of functions in
a temple and are granted minor spellcasting power by their deities.

Description
It takes a strong personality, ruthless cunning, and a silver tongue to keep a gang of bandits in line. The bandit
captain has these qualities in spades. In addition to managing a crew of selfish malcontents, the pirate captain
is a variation of the bandit captain, with a ship to protect and command. To keep the crew in line, the captain
must mete out rewards and punishment on a regular basis. More than treasure, a bandit captain or pirate
captain craves infamy. A prisoner who appeals to the captain's vanity or ego is more likely to be treated fairly
than a prisoner who does not or claims not to know anything of the captain's colorful reputation.

their loyalties to avoid being ostracized, imprisoned, or executed for their beliefs. Unlike evil acolytes, cultists
often show signs of insanity in their beliefs and practices.

Description
Gladiators battle for the entertainment of raucous crowds. Some gladiators are brutal pit fighters who treat
each match as a life-or-death struggle, while others are professional duelists who command huge fees but
rarely fight to the death.

Description
Trained in the use of poison, assassins are remorseless killers who work for nobles, guildmasters, sovereigns,
and anyone else who can afford them. Drow assassins are the elite killers of the Houses of Menzoberranzan,

Orcs are savage humanoids with stooped postures, piggish faces, and prominent teeth that resemble tusks.
They gather in tribes that satisfy their bloodlust by slaying any humanoids that stand against them.

Description
Priests bring the teachings of their gods to the common folk. They are the spiritual leaders of temples and
shrines and often hold positions of influence in their communities. Evil priests might work openly under a
tyrant, or they might be the leaders of religious sects hidden in the shadows of good society, overseeing
depraved rites.

Encounters At The Wayside Inn ~39~

Description
Rulers, nobles, merchants, guildmasters, and other wealthy individuals use spies to gain the upper hand in a
world of cutthroat politics. A spy is trained to secretly gather information. Loyal spies would rather die than

Encounters At The Wayside Inn ~41~

Description
A werewolf is a savage predator. In its humanoid form, a werewolf has heightened senses, a fiery temper, and
a tendency to eat rare meat. Its wolf form is a fearsome predator, but its hybrid form is more terrifying by far
— a furred and well-muscled humanoid body topped by a ravening wolf’s head. A werewolf can wield
weapons in hybrid form, though it prefers to tear foes apart with its powerful claws and bite.
One of the most ancient and feared of all curses, lycanthropy can transform the most civilized humanoid into a
ravening beast. In its natural humanoid form, a creature cursed by lycanthropy appears as its normal self.
Over time, however, many lycanthropes acquire features suggestive of their animal form. In that animal form,
a lycanthrope resembles a powerful version of a normal animal. On close inspection, its eyes show a faint
spark of unnatural intelligence and might glow red in the dark.
Evil lycanthropes hide among normal folk, emerging in animal form at night to spread terror and bloodshed,
especially under a full moon. Good lycanthropes are reclusive and uncomfortable around other civilized
creatures, often living alone in wilderness areas far from villages and towns.
