Eek



Eek is a Kobold Wizard that was the first of the prophesied heroes to join up with Aelita to return the Metallic Dragons to the world of Vyrion.

Personality
Despite a love of learning and a fascination with magic, Eek is a bit of a coward. They would frequently flee and hide in dangerous situations- their innermost thoughts during the battle with Udjah being incoherent screaming. They are also a creature of comfort- often finding immense joy in bowls of soup and comfortable accommodations.

Appearance
Eek is a red kobold that stands about the same height as the halfling Johannes. They wear blue wizard's robes and a brown brimmed wizard's hat. Both main articles of his outfit seem too large for them, and it is likely the clothes were not actually made for them.

History
Little is known about Eek's backstory, as they rarely spoke of their past before leaving the party.

Relationships
Squeak - Squeak is Eek's bat familiar. After accidentally being blinded by Aelita, Squeak often acted as their eyes.

Emberlynn - After the incident where they lost thier sight, Eek began to distrust the party. Picking up on this, Emberlynn convinced Eek that his party was actually immoral both personally and for their attempt to reinstate the 'tyranny' of the Metallic Dragons. They followed her after Boat threw a javelin at the fleeing Eek and Emberlynn counterattacked with magical miasma.

Charles 'The Gravy Boat' Barnes - Boat and Eek fought regularly, with Eek's tendency to self-serve rubbing the responsibility-focused Boat the wrong way. It was after Boat dismissed them as a member of the group and threw a javelin at Eek that the kobold decided to leave the group to go with Emberlynn.

Aelita - Eek was the first of the party to join Aelita on her quest to return the Metallic Dragons to Vyrion. They seemed to have a camaraderie where Eek was more inclined to listen to Aelita when it came to reason, and Aelita was the most willing (alongside Johannes) of the party to defend Eek.

Quotes
