Backstory: When robin was a 15, his father taught him how to smith, and robin did this for 5 years. However, the king was raising taxes, and his family could not pay, and eventually robin decided to go out to find a way to make more money, this is how he discovered bounty hunting. Robin was good with a sword, and was a strong man, so he began hunting down bounty’s until he had enough money to pay back his family’s debt, but when he went home, he discovered that his family had been captured in a raid by a nearby tribe of bandits that were headed by Henry, a rich noble who was corrupted and was trying to steal the crown. Robin gathered a small party of warriors who opposed Henry, and gave chase to the bandits. As they came to the base camp of the bandits, Robin was hit in the back off the head, knocked out instantly. When Robin awoke, he looked up to see Henry, paying the warriors money for bringing him in. The warriors had betrayed Robin. Henry then spoke “well well well, you have been giving me some problems! You’ve been hunting down my people, though you may not have known it, and making me very angry, but now you are trying to fight me directly? What a fool you are.” Henry than walked into to cage with 2 bandits, had them tie up robin, and then Henry began beating up robin as he told him how he tortured robins parents. Eventually robin passed out. Robin then woke up in his house with a note, telling him to never bother Henry again. After that Robin gathered his things, and left to go to a town with a church, so he could learn to read and write, so he could begin his war against Henry, but while there, he was convinced to become a cleric, and he stayed because he loved the town, and eventually helped fight off a group of goblins, making him the hero of the town. Now robin is hunting down a group of vampires, but he has no leads, only the name strahd...
Backstory: Zinwynn was born in the city of Menzoberranzan to one of the many noble houses that squabble among themselves to increase their status. Like many others House Suithrasas was so low in the rank of houses that they had to serve under one of the great houses that held a spot on the council in order to survive.Despite this and the fact that he was born a male, Zinwynn had a rather calm upbringing, being groomed to become a wizard once he grew old enough to attend the academy of Sorcere.
Upon entering the academy, Zinwynn showed a bit of promise as a wizard but seemed to not quite have the gift to make any real progress without a lot of extra work.While not failing out of the place he ended up sneaking away to go to the Bazaar where the other young nobles went to enjoy themselves without their teachers watching every move they made. During this time Zinwynn caught his first glimpse of a bard performing. With little else to do to entertain himself outside of practicing magic that was the equivalent of parlor tricks, he began to watch more performances.
Over the next several months the young drow would begin to converse with the bard he had met, a houseless male by the name of Calanon. Overtime the two drow began to speak of their lives and one day the bard made a deal with the wizard in training. In exchange for information about the other students at the academy Calanon would teach Zinwynn the ways of a bard. This would go on for several months and soon thanks to his natural dexterity as an elf, Zinwynn was able to learn to play the basics on several instruments. In time Zinwynn spent more time with music and performances then he did with his studies, catching the attention of his house after a time.
Luckily for the young fool his bard acquaintance found out about the fact he would soon suffer the wrath of his Matron Mother for his failings and disobedience. With a warning and a small chance to run ,Zinwynn scrambled to make contact with the infamous all male drow mercenary band Bregan Daerthe. Upon meeting with someone that claimed to be a member of group, the wannabe bard made a deal with them that he would go wherever they wanted and do whatever they wished of him if he could get away from his family.
He spent a few months going all about the Underdark to serve them as a mercenary and with a few of the skills he learned from the bard, an information gatherer. Eventually he found himself on the surface in the coastal city of Luskan, a place run by the leader of the mercenary band. In order to blend in he was made to cover up and go to various taverns to play for the locals, this serving to get him used to life around non drow and the surface world. Zinwynn seemed to like this life and soon even agreed to take a job outside of the city, going with a few other drow on a job. The only details about their assignment were vague other then the name Strahd.

Backstory: The Silverscale tribe was an advanced tribe of lizardfolk native to the Lake of Steam, and Krodoke was its shaman. Though the reputation of lizardfolk in the area was at least somewhat deserved, the Silverscales were tolerated by the locals. They often traded goods and their muscle to miners, porters, and sailors. Through Krodoke's wise guidance and fluency in the common tongue, the tribe prospered - too much, in fact. Eventually, they outgrew the ecosystem of their territory. Dissent began to grow in the tribe - some thought that raiding the local towns for meat was a necessity. Krodoke knew that this would be folly, but saw little alternative. Instead, he left his home and his tribe, seeking for a new land to settle his people in. Lacking the capacity for conventional fear, this journey would lead him into a land he could never have imagined.
