Gwenlinn

Gwenlinn is a female, half-elf ranger.
On Day 4 of the campaign, Gwenlinn approached the Sleeping Giant in Phandalin and planned to confront the Redbrand Ruffians at the same time as Conor McGregor, Herb Stoner and Sildar Hallwinter planned to do the same. Rayphlárd happened to walk up to the Sleeping Giant at the same time. The group of five entered the tavern and got into a fight with Seth Redbrand-Deceased; the Redbrands were killed in the fight, and the tavern owner Grista-Deceased escaped.
On Day 5, Gwenlinn then joined the party in invading the Redbrand Hideout under Tresendar Manor. After surviving that battle, Gwenlinn decided to go back on her own and let the party continue their quest.
Due to the ongoing troubles in Phandalin, Gwenlinn decided to leave the town and head north to get into the wheat business. Gwenlinn asked Qelline Alderleaf if she knew any good locations to farm wheat up north. Qelline told Gwenlinn that she doesn't know, but her friend Reidoth would know.
Gwenlinn traveled north to Thundertree, looking for Reidoth. When she arrived, Reidoth took her in, but he warned her that she just walked into a dangerous situation. He was monitoring a dragon that recently claimed a tower in the village as its lair.
The next day, the dragon (Venomfang) surprised Reidoth and Gwenlinn and intimidated them into a deal where they would work for him. First, they agreed to go to Mount Hotenow to learn more about tremors happening there and report back to Venomfang, but then a Cult of the Dragon faction arrived. Venomfang noticed them and changed his mind, and he forced Reidoth and Gwenlinn to stay in Thundertree to torment and scare the cultists for his amusement.
On Day 12, as Reidoth and Gwenlinn were planning a way to escape Thundertree without Venomfang noticing, Conor, Herb, Rayphlard and Shinzon arrived. After discussing Venomfang, Gwenlinn and Reidoth joined the group in attacking the dragon in his tower. The group wasn't successful in defeating Venomfang, but Reidoth did help them escape by casting treestride. Reidoth then offered Gwenlinn an opportunity to join the Emerald Enclave as his trainee. Gwenlinn accepted, and the following morning they headed to Neverwinter to start their new mission for the enclave.
