Halabad be dead.  Good times were had.  I'm extremely happy with the way he turned out and the direction his life took.  Thanks players for the great RP, and thanks DMs for blasting me with ki waves of concentrated fun.

[HIDE=Arrival]
Upon arriving in Sanctuary, Halabad is dismayed by how the presence of freaks and thralls is just an accepted part of everyday life.  After being told that Ostragoth Starbeard (one of Moradin's own) has become entralled by Baron Ormulax, Halabad seeks a way to find the power to purify him.  This leads to Halabad joining the Covenant.

[HIDE=Elystan Pwyll]
Eventually Ostragoth Starbeard falls to Altani and his mercenaries ater skirmishing with Halabad and then Jymir in the inbetween.  This does not sit well with Halabad, who had wanted to see Starbeard's mistakes corrected by a son of Moradin.  

A new concern soon emerges in Halabad's friend Elystan Pwyll, one of the Greycrown Mercenary Company with whom Halabad has done extensive adventuring.  Elystan, knowing that his "Red Queen" goddess will soon cause drastic changes within him solicits an oath from Halabad to stand by him despite what changes may come.  Halabad takes this oath and soon regrets it.  Elystan becomes a paranoid and freakish sorceror of great power and begins capturing blood-born arcanists to offer to his Red Queen for mutation.  In a meeting at Starag's Rest, Halabad and Elsytan agree that their paths have diverged and are destined to collide.  Elsytan reaffirms a previous oath that if he cannot complete his own dream he will help Halabad with his, to purge the world and begin the next cycle.

At the urging of his good friend and Dwarven Lorekeeper Ailfrid of Gromthundi Halabad seeks to capture Elystan so that Slp'ytthx'grlp'tnsslp'pssph'alshlpt may cleanse him.

Having been successfully cleansed, Elystan vows to help Halabad and the Covenant purge the world.  Jorella Unders (Covenant Primivist) has a vision of a dwarven artifact buried near the hidden lake.  A party including Ailfrid, Wally, Jym, Elystan and Halabad depart to search for it.

[HIDE=Isidore and Altani]
Halabad hears from the newly Watch-enlisted Maldwynn that Altani the Finder has become enthralled and mutated by a dread experiment during an expedition to a dread laboratory.  Additionally Isidore, a self-titled priest of "fuck the gods" is pushing an agenda of inclusivity regarding the freaks in the vaults.  After imbibing Slaadi bodily fluids Isidore himself changes into a Death Slaad.  The Covenant makes the cleansing of these two freaks their highest priority.

(next two below) Isidore is captured during a skirmish below the "Sewer Grate" and is brought before the Sorcere mage Beldunun

[/HIDE]

[HIDE=Sipping the Secret Greens]
Word arrives that Isidore has perished in a mission for the Exile Collective, and Altani is killed fighting a very attractive female beholder in an extraplanar arena.

After an incursion of ooze-enhanced-undead in Middle Sanctuary and the Slaadi disaster in Lower Sanctuary Halabad's distrust of the Covenant Drow increases.  Ushuuka of the Cave of Oozing Colors invites members of the Covenant to risk their lives sipping the secret greens in order to glimpse the future.  Halabad does not like what he sees.
