Snerz Character in Galfin | World Anvil

Snerz

A young batgoblin who was injured in the jungle on Eidon. His friends left him with to die with holes in his wings from being gored by the wild boars.   He had no real drive in life until he met the party. After that chance encounter he decided he would join his best friends and study to become a Druid.   In the Blindbat Jungle, Snerz had fallen at a boar hunt and had his wings mangled. He was able to climb up an old guard tower but was severely wounded and dehydrated. His friends abandoned him as he waited for death in the jungle.   Sossori met Snerz, a batgoblin whose family all was taken by cultists. He could not fly as he had holes in his wings. Cortez did not die by the hands of some wild boar, he survived but was angry with the party. Christopher was the only one who helped. Christopher and Cortez met Henry the Ghost Pirate on the Eastern Shore (near the burnt down statue where Diggory's son was found). Christopher, Cortez and Henri find Sossari and Snerz. Located the turtle boat, the Tortuga.   When Sossari sought to help Snerz, they discovered that his friends had actually been captured by tridate cultists working with Sootha.   An old temple of Sootha was being used to restart her storm, a step needed to expedite her entrance back into the mortal realm. You find a clearing with a Mayan-esque temple and a ton of cultists in masks. Eelisma was at the top of the pyramid throwing batgoblin sacrifices into a pit of fire. Party interrupted ritual, attacked Eelisma and then ran. Fish-eyed woman shoots a life-draining beam and almost killed some people. Made it back to Eidon, informed Diggory, and went back to the clearing with 15 mud guards. Beat up some cultists and stopped some ritual drummers. Jumped into a fire portal to the underworld. Fought some Grimlocks, found a desecrate statue of Sootha with imposter written on it. Defeated some kuo-toa. After making their way through they found Eelisma at the end, she activated an old totem using the Pearls of the Stormblood that Sossori had been collecting and released the sea goddess from her sleep. As they made it to the surface, a large hurricane was beginning to form in the distance. Diggory and his people had been slaughtered by a new adversary. Lord Thormund, Stormblood of Typhon, the island with the largest army. As Thormund firebombed the island, the party ran to Diggory's Tortuga. They were then attacked by a goblin pirate by the name of Captain Scruffybeard. After a short fight and snap of the captain's neck, the party took the ship and dubbed it the Gobsnapper. Cortez took this moment to flip off the party, not join them and take the Tortuga as his own. Had a goblin death match to decide who would stay on in their ship crew. Dickard and Martholomew won and stayed as shiphands.   The crew then made it to Kyra, the ship building island. Their ship got impounded and due to the party ignoring the guards, some of your crew was taken to the gallows. You meandered around town meeting some magical shopkeeps. Two Eyes and Boris Silverstaff. Two Eyes gave you a prophecy of “Beware the Basilisk”. Captain Dublin called Iona ugly. Two-Eyes runs an enchantery named Wizbops but is threatened by the new man Boris Silverstaff. Boris is the cousin of the legendary Remus and Boto Silverstaff. Boris is an undercover member of the Seekers and is close with his cousin.   You meet Quinn for the first time as she announces the public execution of Mart and Dikard. You distract them in time to save Dikard the goblin. Due to some evil machinations and lying to Captain Dublin, Iona accidentally caused the arrests of Two-Eyes and Boris. Boris was wearing Seeker garbs when he was taken down to the gallows. The two wizards were hung in front of the town. Iona had a kill order placed on her head by her old faction for her misdeeds.   Henri learned from Quinn, the Stormblood of Kyra, that 30 years ago the strong nations teamed up against the weak and took up a fascist control of the islands.   A young sailor named Mortimer started a revolution, the Great Mutiny to rally the weak to defeat the strong. Quinn told that her mother died in that war. Talk to Jonathan McIncharge who is the Marina Chief, it gets you nowhere and you discuss stealing the Golden Fleece, Quinn’s mother’s legendary ship that fought in the Great Mutiny. After some shenanigans (such as putting gunpowder in all the guards’ pockets) and finding your ship being upgraded in the auction yard, the party breaks their ship out of an auction yard with a ship builder by the name of Mako.   During the battle Snerz got roped up on the docks. A drowning guard pushed a flaming barrel in front of the escaping Gobsnapper. Snerz picked up a cannonball and jumped into the water to neutralize the gunpowder. The remaining guards took aim on the Gobsnapper and aimed the mortars. As the ship was about to be fired upon, Snerz revealed that he had retained the teachings of Sossori and wild shaped his way into the hearts of the party. He was their best friend. They traveled back to Mako's island of Hydri, the island of the wayfarers. Before they got back Moira and Sossori decided to hook up with the handsome Mako in the bottom of the boat. Snerz was unconscious within 10 feet of them. As they arrived the hurricane storm that started as they left Eidon was getting worse. A tsunami could be seen on the horizon. Mako ran off to find his mother who lived outside the village. You met Mother Maggie who fed you while the winds picked up. The Stormblood and his son, Magnus and Maximus helped seal people home from the storm with an ancient Pacuran rune. Magnus, the Stormblood of Hydri, sacrificed himself to seal the catacombs as the tsunami crashed into the city, saving the party and his son, Maximus.   You explore the catacombs to discover that this is the resting place of the Ocean King. As you enter the record room of the catacombs, you find the gravekeeper murdered and the bones of the ancient ruler taken. Chris finds the Hydri Book of the Dead and Henri finds a history of the Fleet of the Stormblood and the beginnings of the Mutiny. You encounter a specter and a gelatinous cube. Sossori’s body is starting to be pulled back to the realm of her god. Eelisma took the bones to Milos to perform another ritual. Diggory’s son did not have a strong enough bond with the sea goddess. The specter was the angry spirit of Oceanus Tempest, the Ocean King. The spirit disappeared when his bonse left the tomb. As Hydri's new ruler, Maximus asked you to retrieve the bones of his great ancestor. Max reveals that the prophetic Stormblood Kricia of Milos is almost due with his unborn child. He fears Eelisma will sacrifice his child to try and bring Sootha back. He offers you riches once he becomes the Ocean King to protect his unborn baby and his fiancée Kricia. You prepare to head to Milos, the island of seamstresses and sail-weavers. Kricia and Maximus’ child would have the strongest blood connection to the claim of the Ocean Throne. The old lines of 30 years previous were drawn, the weak nations decide to rally against the strong once more. Typhon had the largest army, Zephyr had the largest fleet and Gyaron had the best fighters. All 3 were called to arms when the sea goddess awoke, even though all 3 leader had ulterior motives than just serving the sea goddess.     You are sling-shotted by Maximus' ship, the Howling Porpoise through the gusts of the hurricane. The Gobsnapper is more or less wrecked but you make it through mostly intact, Henri lost an eye. You arrive to find the baby has been born and Eelisma was trying to transfer the sea goddess into the baby atop a black ivory tower in the centre of Milos. You learn how the sea goddess and Ocean King were in love, having 9 children centuries ago. As Sootha grew more crazed, Oceanus Tempest had to kill his wife. Unbeknownst to him, she was with child. Their 10th child became the grotesque Eelisma and she spent ages plotting how to bring her mother back. You have an honor fight with Tayne, Stormblood of Gyaron, which Sossori wins by turning into a bear and he concedes what he is doing is not honorable. He pulls his Viking horde from the battle. After an obelisk puzzle and a battle atop the spire, the party embarrasses Lord Thormund using a charm spell. A Zephyr soldier takes the baby in a carriage and rides for the docks. Moira needed to finish her pact or her soul would be lost for eternity, Moira kills Snerz as the battle with Eelisma nears its end. He still thought of the group as his best friends and family.
