Description

Session 16 added white, black-striped Gloves of Thievery to Bodius’s equipment, described as capable of a puffy or sleek white driving-glove appearance.

Bodius is a tall, lean, 25-year-old high elf with white skin, brown hair, and black eyes. His normal bearing is refined and watchful, but his at-will disguises let him replace that appearance entirely when misdirection is useful. His fingers are stained in many colors from constant work with Cassidy’s rainbow inks. He wears the Hyperspectral Peddler’s Cloak, keeps potions and jugs lined across his belt, carries the Pipe of Smoke Monsters, and straps the crystal-framed family painting across his back.

In Wyrmheart’s forge he used Disguise Self to appear as a horned mining cart, with Bonzo scouting in raven form as shown above. The disguise changed his appearance but did not turn him into a load-bearing vehicle. His spellcasting often centers on his hands and fingers, from scribbling with stained fingertips to firing Eldritch Blast through the cart illusion’s glowing eyes.

In Session 16, Bodius traveled with a hovering firenewt spirit raised through Accursed Specter and disguised himself as the first slain warlock to deceive the shrine warlock. The spirit is temporary, not a new permanent companion.

In Session 17, Bodius confirmed the puffy Mickey Mouse-like appearance of his gloves and bought iridescent seahorse-skin armor, a close-fitting tunic with small pauldrons. His original firenewt specter expired during a long rest. During the same journey he received a small tattoo mark beside his left eye, like a teardrop tattoo (DM-confirmed owner).

• Flea — ship hand, very talkative; Mosquito’s kid
• Throbbin Mistwillow — bard ally and occasional chaos agent
• Old Fence or Patron of the Lower City — underworld connections, smuggling routes, intelligence
• Arcane scholar / mentor figure — possible future help deciphering planar techniques in Bodius’s art
• Survivors from the family network — loyal to Bodius’s family memory, cautious but potentially helpful

Current Notes

• Ritual components written on the sheet: heart of a dragon, tears of an angel, and milk of a faerie. These are for curing Mina Aubrey’s vampirism, not the Death Curse.
• Party note: Isilrod Gurglestrom is the dwarf bard; Bonzo Nutley is the monk / bean-farmer’s son; Faf D’Gnarwol is the fighter/cleric of Vergadain (total level 6; split awaiting sheet).
• Map/quest note: find Throbbin’s friend Syndra Sylvane; “Syndra please send Clarky, I have a message.”
• The arrow shaft that killed Throbbin bore the same algiz rune: “of the Symposium.”
• Bodius owes “Bombitduuhm” / Balm Bitdoom.
• Magic faerie clue: “trust the numbers”; the location of the Death Curse lies within Chult.
• Death Curse location sequence from the sheet: red dragon, medusa, eagle.
• Sheet note: “Light a candle to the milk and that will show him (Dr. Aubrey) the way.”
• Session 14 dream: during a long rest in Wyrmheart Mine, Bodius saw his family roughly ten years earlier. His father taught him the stars, his mother served Sunday boiled hot dogs, and they watched a ball game until a rumbling scream woke him.
• Hours later, Siegfried’s hoard contained the Bodius Family Painting, depicting that exact hearth, meal, and reflected ball game.
• Bodius used Hexblade’s Curse and Hex before throwing the Jug of Living Lightning into Siegfried. The DM later confirmed the jug did not survive.
• Session 15: wore the family painting across his back, then slept beneath it and repeated the dream of home. The DM allowed using it as a shield and spellcasting focus “at your peril,” but its dimensions, durability, and exact mechanics remain unresolved.
• Session 15: used the horned-cart disguise to scout the active Wyrmheart forge with raven-form Bonzo, freed two chained pale dwarves with Eldritch Blast, and helped clear the firenewt encounter before reaching level 6.

Personality

• Observant and measured. Rarely speaks without first understanding who holds power in the room.
• Refined manners, Lower City instincts. Knows how to behave in salons and how to disappear in alleys.
• Creative under pressure. Improvises rather than panics when cornered.

Ideals

• Control through understanding. Power is most dangerous when wielded blindly; knowledge is how it is mastered.
• Cultural preservation over possession. Art belongs to the people who live it, not those who merely own it.
• Vengeance with purpose. Revenge without truth is just noise.

Bonds

• Family legacy. Their names were erased, but their work will endure.
• Book of Shadows. Contains more than spells; it is a record of unfinished works and stolen futures.
• Patron’s promise. They know who destroyed his family. He intends to hold them to that knowledge.

Flaws

• Distrust of institutions. Wealth, authority, and tradition failed his family once; assumes they will again.
• Selective honesty. Reveals only what serves the moment.
• Fixation on the past. Sometimes chases answers that offer no immediate benefit.

Backstory

Born into a well-regarded High Elf family of art dealers in Baldur’s Gate. Raised among priceless artifacts, private collections, and carefully curated lies. Meant to inherit the business, but drawn to the Lower City instead: its living cultures, hidden markets, and the subtle skills needed to survive there. Learned the trade of thieves, fences, and forgers alongside the language of fine art.

Possessed a strange talent: creating works infused with a form of dimensional magic he barely understood. Word spread.

One night, a powerful figure attempted to steal both his creations and him. He escaped. His family did not. Their home, legacy, and names were burned in a single night.

In the aftermath, something found him. His patron knows truths about who orchestrated the massacre and why his work matters. They promised power to survive, learn, and eventually take revenge. In return, he continues developing his craft and accepts commissions whose purpose he does not fully understand.

He does not yet know why his creations are coveted. He only knows someone killed his family to possess them.

Session 16

In Session 16, Bodius stole a treasury key and 33 gp from the sleeping warlock, then executed him after interrogation in memory of Simon. Disguised as that warlock, he persuaded the shrine warlock to drink brandy until unconscious. He helped recover the Imix Gold Statue for shared storage. The specter remained available at session end; no long rest was recorded. Bodius received the white, black-striped Gloves of Thievery in the final split confirmed by Reed; Isilrod received the Gauntlet of Moradin.

Session 17

Session 17: Bodius painted the party emblem, fought the zombie tyrannosaurus with curses and Eldritch Blast, and bought four healing potions, four sets of thieves’ tools, two jugs, a water-breathing potion, and seahorse-skin armor using crawfish. The statue was offered for sale but retained. His prior specter expired; the later proposal to raise the swallowed skeleton is not a permanent companion. One explicit death-curse maximum-HP loss applied; the older sheet total is not recalculated.
