Captain+Narcy+ir'Kemble

=Major Narcy ir'Kemble, Army of Breland=


 * Introduction:** Captain of a Brelish Army detachment sent from Wroat to New Cyre via a commandeered House Lyrandar airship as soon as word reached the capital of an incursion by Goblinoids. The detachment secured horses from the House Vadalis Livery and rode to the Murnie Homestead (checking on other homesteads along the way). Once there, she directed the adventuring party to take the Goblin lair under Monument Hill, while she led a force (four soldiers, Plow and Tanar d'Tharashk) into the Dragonshard Mine via the well entrance at the center of the homestead.

When this force did not return, the detachment's second-in-command asked the party -- stymied in their attempt to link up with Kemble's force in the mine -- to follow them from the well entrance. Twice the party tried to do this, but only found the bodies of three of the soldiers and Plow, who had apparently been captured and given to a Duergar weaponsmith, Kostas Knyarri.

On Zarantyr 14 word arrived in New Cyre that Captain Kemble, Tanar and one soldier were being held hostage by the remaining "Dark Hand" Goblinoids. Later that day Plow revealed to Faye Dwarfhammer that, while he was being held captive with them, the captain revealed her last name was ir'Kemble -- she was the daughter of a Brelish noble (Lord Max ir'Kemble) and Member of Parliament.

Faye and the others devised a plan, offering the remaining Dark Hands safe passage to Darguun via direct route through the Seawall Mountains in exchange for the hostages. This was agreed to, but the adventurers planned an ambush along the route. The ambush proved successful, as the hostages were freed and most of the retreating Dark Hands were slaughtered.

Later, Captain ir'Kemble traveled with the party on a fast House Orien caravan to Starilaskur, and took the same Lightning Rail as far as Wroat, where she was to report to her superiors. However, at the Wroat Lighting Rail station, she was seen meeting with a member of the Brelish Parliament in a trackside tavern, just as a remote-controlled Warforged Charger burst in and tried to kill them. The Charger was killed, and the Kalashtar controlling it (a House Orien employee, he was backup engineer on the same Lightning Rail) defeated...both by Draco, Krest, Dashiell Kaplan and Stend Bakker.

The Brelish MP, Baron Curzon ir'Dorn, gave Dashiell a Dragonmark pimp cane, and allowed the party to make use of his home in Sharn when they arrive (having been called to extraordinary session by the Regent, Prince Kor ir'Wynarn, the Sharn home was available).

Captain ir'Kemble returned to New Cyre to a new assignment as the Brelish Army liaison to the new Governor, Oargev ir'Wynarn. She and her soldiers helped defend New Cyre from the Swords of Liberty attack in early Eyre, for which she was promoted to Major.

Background: The ir'Kemble family owns a dozen tracts of land in Yedan's Expanse, originally leased to tenant farmers on generational contracts. Many of these tenants died or relocated during the Last War, and the land went fallow. It is hoped that Cyran refugees might make the lands productive again, and Narcy has been meeting with Governor Oargev to make arrangements.


 * Update, 10 Eyre 998 YK:** Oargev ir'Wynarn made public his betrothal to Narcy ir'Kemble just before an attempt was made on their lives by an escaped Dwarf prisoner casting a //fireball//. The blast killed Oargev's Changeling body double.
