Carandini – Necromancer – Known agent of the Zhentarim.

Carandini is obsessesed with the idea of restoring Zhentil Keep to it’s former glory with him as the secret leader of the city.

He has a Strigoi bodyguard called Kessler.

He employs a pair of male dwarven twins who have been on several expeditions with him, and who have proven loyal to the Zhentarim cause and to Carandini.
They are exceptional fighters, and have specialised in the use of Halberds.

He is also in the company of a Cleric of Bane – Wilward, and has recently taken Alise a Evocation Savant as part of his crew.

Special items

The hand of L’Kah
Mummified hand of Warlock from Calimshan.
L’Kah was a powerful, and paranoid, Warlock, who was the headmaster of a small secluded school for gifted children, children who had the ability to become Warlocks like himself.

The mummified hand has 7 charges, which recharge with the first light every morning. It allows the controller to cast ‘create crypt thing’ (5 charges), which drains a victim of their last hit points (must be less than 10), and then turns them into a Crypt Thing. It can also cast ‘locate object’, ‘zone of truth’, and [spell], which all cost 1 charge.

Allies

Kessler, a vampire spawn – strigoi

Kessler used to be a Paladin who was killed and turned into a vampire spawn by a vampire that Carandini defeated together with his twins and Liona on one of his early adventures.
Carandini succeeded in controlling Kessler, and has used him as his shadow bodyguard ever since.

Wilward
8th level,Human Cleric of Bane.
Lawful Evil.

Wilward was added to the party after the death of Ilona in Arabel. He has travelled South from Mulmaster where he was ousted, and almost killed, by his brothers in the Bane temple.

Wilward met Carandini in Arabel, and when Carandini offered him to become part of his mission to restore Zhentil Keep, he saw an opportunity to head back North and in time get revenge on the brothers who tried to kill him.

Bergarr

Bergarr and Anstyrr
Twins, 10th level dwarven fighters.
Lawful Evil.

The twins have travelled with Carandini for a couple of years, and typically join him if the plans are to explore somewhere we Kessler isn’t enough protection or where he can’t go.

The twins were trained guards, and have fallen in “love” with the Halberd as their weapon of choice.

They are deadly and savage fighters, but their bloodlust sometimes gets the better of them, and that means that tactics goes out the door in the heat of the moment.

Alise
10th level human wizard, Evocation Savant.
Chaotic Neutral.

Alise is the latest addition to the party, and she was also picked up after the attack in Arabel just like Wilward.

Alise has been part of another adventuring party, but unfortunately her friends met an untimely end, and she was the sole survivor of an expedition to the Stonelands.

She has a preference for cold based spells.

Ilona
8th level, Half-elf sorceress.
Chaotic Neutral

Ilona used to be part of the crew but found an untimely death in Arabel, when Carandini and his party fought their way into the Tymora temple.

Zhentarim

Zhentarim beliefs

1. The Zhentarim is your family. You watch out for it, and it watches out for you.
2. You are the master of your own destiny. Never be less than what you deserve to be.
3. Everything—and everyone—has a price.

Carandini was inspired by the character Carandini in the novel Witch Hunter by Matthias Thulmann.

Efter dage med udforskning af ruiner, kampe med Lizardmen og kultister, forhandlinger med en vampyr, timer brugt på at vandre gennem stinkende sumpe, med stikkende insekter om ørerne, udforskning af en gammel portal til Outlands, og en kamp mod en Djævel, var der brug for at få ro på hovedet og en kop øl eller…
