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(Note: this descriptor is from early in the campaign and may be out of date — by the later Rise of Tiamat sessions Keyleth is played with a ranger/rogue kit (Evasion, favored-enemy dragon-lore) plus a death-patron Hex, and her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

Session 51 (2026-06-28)

Present all session but nearly voiceless — her mic failed for the whole sitting, with her inputs relayed through the table. Even mostly muted she was quietly load-bearing: her Pass Without a Trace underwrote the Superior Stables heist (helping Gootcha post an untouchable 34 Stealth), her insight checks landed the horrible truth that the coins had been keeping the Arcane Brotherhood, her Ring of Spell Storing surfaced on-sheet, and she gained Leatherworker's Tools proficiency (crafting-system feat).
