 **Were you born in Lockenport, or elsewhere?**
-Eckhardt Swan (neé Brunsten). Lockenport, born and raised.
+Lockenport, born and raised.
 **Do you have a big family? Do you stay in touch with them?**
-One of the patrician families ([[brunsten_family|Brunsten]]), but ran away to join the [[brotherhood_of_the_swan|Brotherhood of the Swan]] religious order, and avoids all contact with his (extended and influential) family.
+One of the patrician families ([[brunsten_family|Brunsten]]), but I ran away to join the [[brotherhood_of_the_swan|Brotherhood of the Swan]].
 **What are your religious beliefs?**
-Not devoutly religious, but more philosophical, the Brotherhood of the Swan's acolytes strive to see the true nature of reality, while paradoxically engaging in ritual surrounding beauty and adornment. The Brotherhood also views fortune or happenstance as direct communication from the Divine, and gambling is a favourite pastime among the acolytes, even using it as a divinatory tool. Gambling dens will almost always have a Swan Brother presiding, or, more likely, participating in games of chance.
+If you stumble onto the truth by chance, then you are both lucky and blessed.
 **Do you have any famous ancestors?**
-One distant ancestor, Phineas the Dour, was not exactly famous, but as a bureaucrat managed to secure his descendants' financial fortune by unscrupulous manipulation of legal ambiguities, even though his career went unnoticed in his own lifetime.
+Not exactly famous, no.
 **What sort of education or training have you had?**
-Growing up as a wealthy child, Eckhardt had access to the best private instructors, but after fleeing his situation rejected all of his conventional training to pursue the 'Truth by Chance'.
+I was schooled in all of the 'best' ways money could buy, but I'm much happier now.
 **Do you have a trade (other than "adventuring")?**
-Gambler/minister/philosopher. Weddings/unions at gambling dens/casinos are becoming quite the fashion!
+I am a gambler, a minister and a philosopher. Weddings at gambling dens are becoming quite the fashion!
 **Do you have many enemies?**
-Eckhardt owes quite a few people gambling debts, and some are downright nasty characters from the criminal underworld.
+I owe quite a few people gambling debts, and some are downright nasty characters from the criminal underworld. They are less religiously inclined than they make out to be, as debt is just another way of life for some.
 **What style of clothes do you favour?**
@@ Line 41: / Line 41: @@
 **Have you ever killed someone?**
-No!
+No! Well, I've helped to defeat some vicious monsters to protect the town, yes. But I don't like violence; it gets messy and often out of hand.
 **What is your opinion of the Lockenport authorities?**
-The Lockenport authorities are a necessary evil; they are tolerant of the Brotherhood of the Swan's activities and protective of their priests, but periodically require hefty bribes from the order to continue their enduring tolerance.

+Moments after making our report on the Pit, I was sequestered to travel to Lodren's Gate in an effort to assist another group of Irregulars. It seems that they encountered strong opposition and that their Leader, a Drow Ardent, was slain in the encounter. It was a confusing start in taking up the mantle of leader, as we were looking for clues regarding a 'Mysterious A'... returning to the site of their deadly encounter, I managed to snag a torn and burnt letter from the debris- there was obviously some kind of explosion. Our shifter Druid detected the wheel markings of a wagon coach, and we followed it back to the Rowdy Dolphin inn, which my compatriots identified as a den of inequity (and lycanthropy).

Chaos erupted, as his eyes shot deadly multihued rays of magic at our party. Sadly, our scout turned mad and attacked the Warlock before she succumbed to a ray of death. Our fierce warforged managed to hold the inn's doors shut, keeping hordes of henchmen at bay, but their leader, some vile undead apparition, teleported herself into the fray.
