Barnaby

The party’s dragonborn paladin: heavy hitter, healer of last resort, and the one who ends up carrying people (and tied-up gnomes) when things go sideways.

Notable deeds

• Hit the wild boar with Dragon’s Breath for substantial damage (Session 1).
• Carried Facktoré and Bean to the Gnomengarde entrance after the ballista incident (Session 2).
• Burned his reaction to shield Dax mid-fight against the manticores at Umbrage Hill (Session 4).
• Used Lay on Hands to get the badly wounded party back on their feet after the manticore fight (Session 5).
• His read of the orc movements gave the party the confidence to push on to the excavation (Session 5).
• Blessed the front line in the ochre jelly fight (Session 5).
• Split the last ochre jelly in two with his breath weapon — lightning tears them apart the same way a blade does (Session 6).
• Searched the vestry off the eastern passage: two dwarves in red vestments, a dry stone font, and a secret door onto the priests’ sleeping chamber, where he pulled a +1 longsword out of the dust. It hadn’t rotted (Session 6).
• Scattered a bag of a thousand ball bearings across the orcs’ only way in — most of what kept that fight winnable (Session 6).
• Went down twice against the orcs, and in between crossed the room to pour the last of his Lay on Hands into a dying Dax: six points, and enough (Session 6).
• Collected orc blood in his waterskin — emptied it first, sat a body up, cut its throat, stoppered it, and put it away without explaining (Session 7).
• Threw his shoulder into the hidden chamber’s sealed slab at a run and got a bruise out of it (Session 7).
• Took 10 piercing from the exploding statue and let his armor turn most of it (Session 7).
• Carried Dazlyn Grayshard’s body north from the trail to Umbrage Hill, to Phandalin, and into the inn, where he set it down at the dwarf’s brother’s feet (Session 7).
• Was asked about feeding by Rut without knowing why (Session 7). In Session 9 he assured Rut he would not eat the party; no telling of Dax’s part in the original belief is recorded.
• Hoisted Hamish onto his shoulders at the Miner’s Exchange’s high back window three times — the third left the ranger sitting rather than standing and stuck there, and the pair of them made enough noise doing it that the room inside turned to look at the window (Session 8).
• Got away from the second guard cleanly and was never seen at all (Session 8).
• Fell in with Dax on the walk back up the lane and kept the watch near the shrine on the square with him (Session 8).
• Found the Coster locked at night and waited at the inn, where he noticed Norbus was no longer at the bar (Session 9).
• Bought a shortbow (25 gp), arrows (1 gp) and a healer’s kit (5 gp). Sold his ordinary longsword for 7 gp and kept the temple’s +1 longsword, which has no additional special properties (Session 9).
• Told Rut he was a fake dragon and would not eat the party. No telling of Dax’s part in the original belief is recorded (Session 9).
