Sir Brenneth is a well-respected Knight of the Realm, someone who should absolutely be above reproach. He is earnest, pure-hearted, and absolutely cursed. His friendship is generous, his manner courteous, and his bravery visible to all- but something dark hangs over him. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot seem to shake others' doubt in him.
Statistics: Sir Brenneth is a Knight of about 8th level, as per the Monster Manual. Any method of alignment detection shows him radiating as being Strongly Good. Enough to cause paranoid adventurers to be quite suspicious, maybe. Anyone making Insight checks on Sir Brenneth gains advantage on the roll, but cannot tell anything other than that he seems to be telling the truth, no matter how high they roll. How you can use Sir Brenneth in your game: - The PCs might encounter Sir Brenneth while on a mission, perhaps investigating the same cult theyr're investigating themselves. He is no slouch, and definitely able to hold his own in combat, as well as defend the PCs honestly if they need a hand. When they reach the cult chamber, the acolytes try to imply that he is some sort of traitor, although nothing in his mannerism or bearing indicates this to be true. - Sir Brenneth might be sent after the PCs if they have been implicated in some kind of criminal issue. His unbending honesty might bring him into conflict with them, but he can be distracted by causing some kind of issue where others' safety is at stake. He may want to help the PCs 'come in' and be arrested safely, but then there are hints that perhaps Sir Brenneth himself is the one who has planted evidence of the PCs' involvement. When the rumour is eventually proven false, Sir Brenneth is the first to forgive the PCs' suspicion and assist them in bringing down the traitorous Chancellor, but that suspicion may linger. - Finally, Sir Brenneth's curse may come to light- as a child, a curse was laid upon him by a powerful Night Hag. Evidence of this curse might come to light through the PCs' endeavours, or Sir Brenneth's own, and even with this proof, members of his own knightly order resist aiding him in the quest to put it to rights. He seeks out his old friends to track down and interrogate the Hag as to why she cursed him, and to eventually lift the curse. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 5 June 2020. Comments are closed.
