Current Notes

  • Aldrich is from a settlement “decently far” away that he described as somewhere between a town and a growing small city. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • He once served as a soldier or security for a vassal house under House Wulfhelm. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • He bought a bottle of Minnie’s huckleberry mead and plans to save it for a victory celebration after the tourney. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • He joined Cassian’s Crushing Crusaders for the Proving Grounds. See Compete in the King’s Tourney. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • He recognized Kardis Wulfhelm as a prince of House Wulfhelm and made a joke about hoping Kardis’s blade was not as sharp as his eyebrows. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • After learning Jevon was taken, Aldrich wanted to look for a smithy before the group regrouped at sundown. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • He took 4 necrotic damage from the possessed knight at the Stone Sanctum graveyard, reducing his max HP by 4 until a long rest. This was healed after sleeping in Borehead Tour. Source: 2026.05.12, 2026.05.19.
  • He was awarded a Sentinel Shield by Gruvelda Duskbelt as payment for the ghost job: blue dwarven craftsmanship with an eye emblem, granting advantage on initiative rolls and perception checks. Requires an action to equip or stow—a trade-off between two-handed great sword offense and defensive shielded stance. Source: 2026.05.19.
  • He contributes 1 gold to Cassian’s 5-gold wager that the party wins their first bout without anyone being incapacitated. Aldrich gets free drinks from Cassian if they lose. Source: 2026.05.19.
  • Aldrich keeps a mental book of prepared jokes and delivered one to the downed knight at the Stone Sanctum: “You picked a bad day to be ugly.” Source: 2026.05.12.
  • In the party’s first Proving Grounds bout, Aldrich was the last party member standing while both Cassian and Azrith were downed. He used Evasive Footwork (Battle Master maneuver, expending 3 superiority dice) to disengage and boost his AC to 27 for a round. He landed a natural 20 Firebolt crit on one fighter (17 fire damage), applied his greatsword’s Graze mastery for 5 slashing to fell the large frontliner, and claimed two knockouts. He quipped over the large enemy’s downed body: “I expected more. That’s on me.” Source: 2026.06.02.
  • Received Combat Greaves from Duke Tristan Blackwood’s sponsorship delivery at Clover Hill: grants +5 ft of movement on the first round of each combat. Source: 2026.06.11.
  • Registered the party for the Crown Gauntlet (obstacle course format); bout scheduled 7 PM, Tent A. Source: 2026.06.11.
  • Visited Gruvelda Duskbelt’s smithing tent to discuss lighter armor. Options presented: breastplate (250 gp, AC 17, no stealth disadvantage) or half plate (500 gp discounted from 750, AC 18, no stealth disadvantage). Decided to keep his current chain mail and forgo the upgrade. He accidentally called Gruvelda “Griselda”—she raised an eyebrow and gave him a hard look. Source: 2026.06.11.
