See Raz'ul's full character sheet here!
Physical[]
His flaw is that, since being a druid isn't his first thing, whenever he tries to transform, he can't control what animal he transforms into. Goodrich has a list broken into 25 categories, each one being a different animal. He rolls a d100, and a 99/100 is an animal outside of his challenge rating.
Biography[]
Before Strumlotts[]
Raz'ul was born in Mount Tain, in the Oodalolli Clan. He wasn't raised as a druid, and only became a druid recently, so he doesn't have great control over his shapeshifting abilities (gained from his 'Circle of the Moon' druidic abilities).
Personality[]
Raz'ul is both very confident and very anxious. He tends to be the one who speaks for the group, but also panics when things don't go as expected. Always assumes the best, revealing an optimistic nature. He is shown to be compassionate for other creatures - animals, plants, and enemies alike.
Story[]
Welcome to Strumlotts and Tuning Up[]
| Raz'ul arrives with the other students outside of Strumlotts and is the one to solve the riddle they are presented, realizing that it refers to a chord. He is greeted by Brenda McDade along with everyone else and led into the school, where he is eventually sorted into Group A, along with Yashee and Randy.
The group has to go looking for their teacher, Symbol, and on meeting them is immediately told he needs to get new strings. Raz'ul tries to play something to prove that his strings are sound, but he fumbles it, and Symbol explains that it's really a matter of whether his music can affect the ethereal plane. So, the group sets out. At Durden's Punch Bowl, they run into Gareth North, who is arguing with the barkeeper. Raz'ul makes a fool of him using Prestidigitation, once on his own and then a second time with Yashee's help. After they're able to get Gareth to leave the bar, they talk to the barkeep, and are then approached by Wesley, who suggests that phase spiders might hold the answer to their quest. After participating in and winning a fight in the Punch Bowl's basement fighting arena (as well as being asked to never come back again), Raz'ul and the others leave for Silkgrove the following morning. Upon their arrival, Wesley gives Raz'ul phase spider string and offers access to his workshop so Raz'ul can fit the string to his guitar. Raz'ul calls Symbol to ask if the spider string would work, after getting Symbol's approval he fixes the strings to his guitar. When Raz'ul tests out the new strings his guitar, along with Yashee's mallets and Randy's organ begin to glow. However this moment is disrupted by a crashing sound from downstairs. Wesley then reveals that some of his experiments have gotten loose, and offers six sapphires for the bards to clean up the mess. Raz'ul attempts to communicate with the two large phase spiders, but is unsuccessful. He is forced to change his strategy and start attacking, and manages to deal a finishing blow with Usumptin to the second spider. After defeating the spider, Raz'ul and the other bards go to tell Wesley the news only to find the door locked, with the only opting being heading further into the cave. Eventually the bards come across a cave filled with cages and, to their surprise Wesley holding a spider scepter. Wesley tells them to submit to his experiments, which Raz'ul and the others refuse, leading to a second spider fight. Raz'ul joins the others in preforming a song to defeat the Ettercap. After the song destroys the Ettercap, Wesley runs away. After finding a way out of the basement, Raz'ul asks Randy to help play a prank on Yashee involving Wesley's portable hole. Before returning home Raz'u; transforms into a black bear, than a donkey in order to help pull the cart. On the journey he suggests a name for the group "Chaos Sauce". Upon returning to Strumlotts, Chaos Sauce goes to discuss the events with Headmistress Alola in her office. When Alola asks Raz'ul what he wants to get out of Sumlotts he responds that he wants to make more axes like Usumptin and help his people. The arc ends with Raz'ul heading to his dorm room with Chaos Sauce.|| | |
