Keyleth

Half-Elf Druid

(Note: this descriptor is from early in the campaign and may be out of date — by the later Rise of Tiamat sessions Keyleth is played with a ranger/rogue kit (Evasion, favored-enemy dragon-lore) plus a death-patron Hex, and her familiars are a swarm of pixies. Flagged for the DM to confirm her current class.)

Personality

A thoughtful character with a deep connection to nature and a wry streak. She is accompanied by a swarm of pixie familiars — comic, chattering little spirits that buzz about her (memorably likened to "John Travolta in white leisure suits singing Stayin' Alive" cheering the survivors during the Session 49 battle).

Faction Membership

  • To be determined from campaign events

Character Arc

  • Member of the adventuring party from the beginning of Rise of Tiamat
  • Retains advantage on dragon-knowledge checks (a legacy favored-enemy ability carried into the current rules)
  • Died first in the Session 49 total party kill — three failed death saves under Arauthator's freezing fog while down, having no cold resistance — then was reforged in the Hells with the rest of the party.

Post-Reforging (Session 50)

Returning from the Hells in Session 50, Keyleth came back changed:

  • Pixie Hellfire. Her pixie swarm was permanently reflavored by the infernal passage — now bug-like, swarming around her eyes like a moving black mask and turning red/fire-elemental. Their Pixie Hellfire ignores fire resistance (DM ruling), established when it cauterized a regenerating Hydra's severed neck and became the first thing ever to make a Dragon Turtle genuinely fear fire.
  • Feet of the Infernal Pact. Zarchelia slipped her this boon privately ("Kilith, honey… feel free to call on me anytime," with a wink), telling her she could decide whether to tell anyone what it does — a secret she may keep.
  • Received the Hellhound Whistle pact item (Ensnaring Strike / Cordon of Arrows / Erupting Earth) and the universal Tempered Soul feat from signing the Compact.
