Karma

Tabaxi Druid (Circle of the Moon)

A Tabaxi druid who joined the party during their journey to the Hill of Lost Souls. She bears an aura of protection and balance recognized by the Emerald Enclave.

Personality

Skilled in herbalism and alchemy, Karma is attuned to nature and the natural balance. She is capable of wild shape transformations including a formidable polar bear form. In a fight she favors a hulking wild shape the table affectionately calls "Big Karma" — and has been known, when a battle gets boring, to file her claws with a nail file or strut about with her tail in the air mid-combat. Her menagerie of forms includes a "war ostrich" she debuted in Session 44 ("Look at this ugly bitch").

Faction Membership

• Emerald Enclave – Promoted to Rivercaller (Second Rank) in the Scales of Eldath in Session 43 (previously Grovekeep, First Rank)

Character Arc

• Joined the party in Session 36 - Gootcha Talks to Death
• Recognized by Thalara Mistgrove as bearing 'an aura of protection and balance'
• Inducted into the Scales of Eldath order of the Emerald Enclave in Session 37
• Bestowed the rank of Grovekeep (first rank in the Emerald Enclave) by Thalara Mistgrove
• Used herbalism and alchemy kits to harvest Verdant Core and spore shade caps from defeated creatures in Session 38

• Revived Alexios after he was killed by dragon fire, during which he experienced a vision from Athena
• Promoted to Rivercaller (Scales of Eldath, Rank 2) in Session 43, gaining Eldath Sanctuary (suppress an ally's condition as a reaction) and a shapeshifting mood amulet that takes the form of whatever creature matches her current mood.
• In Session 44, harvested the scales of the slain black dragon Voaraghamanthar to craft acid-resistant enchanted scale mail — using the Eldath/Enclave power to pacify the dragon mid-fight while the party recovered.
• Died and was revived in Session 45: the mythic Mind Gobbler's Psionic Reversal bounced her own Blight back onto her, killing her outright; Shade's Healing Word brought her back at 9 HP. (Her death dropped concentration on Protection from Evil, stripping Alexios's buff at a bad moment.)

Familiar: Charlotte

Karma keeps a spider familiar named Charlotte, a recurring telepathic scout she dispatches ahead of the party. In Session 42 - Bagpipes, Blood, and the Bronze Blades she sent Charlotte creeping through Lord Valtheran's manor grounds to reconnoiter, relaying what the spider saw back through their telepathic bond. (She also conjures lesser scouts as needed — a bat familiar in S44 met a swift end at the hands of pebble-throwing kobolds: "We will avenge you.")
