Barry Well

Barry Well is a halfling Divine Soul sorcerer. He is a courtier to the noble family of Tallyrand, in Eastern Talevir. Sometime around the year 899, Barry began to express innate magical powers, apparently of some divine source. The sudden realization of these powers took Barry and the family Tallyrand by surprise. In an effort to gain better understanding, Barry set off on an excursion to find the source or meaning behind his new powers.
Barry's journey took him to the mountaintop Galewind Monastery, in a chance to meet with the monks of the Centrum Zicht. On the ascent, Well's traveling companion perished to the harsh elements along the Shorn Cliffs. Once at the monastery, Barry found that the source of the monks' Ki powers was not only impossible to grasp, but was quite clearly unrelated to the divine powers erupting from his form. While waiting for weather to clear for a safe descent, Barry met fellow visitors to the monastery, Reine and Fario Surel. The three became familiar and cordial, eventually agreeing to leave the monastery together and share the road.
After leaving the monastery, the group was shortly joined by a fellow traveler...

The Tiefling flew down on the Shadow Monk and appeared to shift into a blur, as her staff spun and landed multiple blows to the monk. She flew back to a safe distance, leaving the foe stunned, but still alive. "Barry Well, I've got this covered," Barry Well says as he pulls his sleeves back and opens himself to the Divine wellspring within himself. Heat roils from his center as his arm snaps forward in the direction of the Shadow Monk. Flames erupt from Barry's hand and concentrate into a single bolt of fiery destruction. The firebolt makes a violent impact to the monk's chest, and erupts into a deadly bonfire of burning robes and flesh. The horror of the moment is offset only by the relief that the victory may signal a respite from their pursuit, even if only for a brief time.

When it was time to depart from the monastery, Barry suggested that Reine and Fario may appreciate his warm company on the road. The three moved down from the mountaintop monastery and were about an hour down the trail when they were surprised by the appearance of the monk Tenzen, with the young Faith in tow. Tenzen explained that the monastery was unsafe for Faith to remain and implored Reine and the party to take her to the west of Talevir to avoid the clutches of a sect within the Order of the Centrum Zicht, known as the Shades, who appear to have dark plans for the young monk. The party agrees and takes Faith in under their wing, making their escape as Tenzen distracted a member of the Shades.
After the better part of a week traveling southwest, off-road, the party returned to the road to navigate passage through Driver's Gap. Upon their return to the road, a Shadow Monk of the Shades catches up with them and attacks, trying to obtain Faith. The party fends off these attempts, burns the monk's body and hides him along bushes near the river bank, for good measure. They make their way to the relative safety of the town of Farhill. Once in Farhill, the party enters into the Two Door Tavern and participate in a few rounds of Sheepskin Dodge.
