Shalelu (Local Guide)
per Ameiko Kaijitsu
Shalelu has been a friend to the town of Sandpoint ever since she arrived in the region almost ten years ago. She and Ameiko Kaijitsu founded a close kinship during the time they adventured together and have continued the relationship ever since. Shalelu's primary task as self-appointed warden of the Lost Coast has been to keep watch on the various goblin tribes in the region and, when necessary, cull their number. Both Sandpoint and the settlements in the surrounding area rely on her for news as well as protection and she is welcomed by any and all civilized folk who make their home in the region.
Shalelu lost her father when she was very young to the attack of a bugbear assassin. Her late mother was called Seanthia, who took a human, Jakardos, as a second husband whom Shalelu treated as a stepfather. After Seanthia was killed when a green dragon attacked their home town of Crying Leaf, however, Jakardos left Crying Leaf and Shalelu out of heartbreak and did not return. This left Shalelu questioning the nature of her mother's and stepfather's relationship, and wondering if Jakardos had been taking advantage of Seanthia. This abandonment left a deep impression on Shalelu, and eventually drove her to her solitary lifestyle as a ranger and bounty hunter.
Shalelu eventually settled in the wilds around Sandpoint, occasionally passing through the town for supplies but rarely staying long. She developed a strong enmity with the goblinoids of the local hinterlands, and spent several years fighting against the local goblin tribes. She developed a particularly personal enmity with the bugbear Bruthazmus, whom she fought on several occasions.
per the party's first meeting
“Belor’s told me of your work against the goblins—
well done. I’ve dedicated the last several years of
my life to keeping them from causing too much
trouble around these parts, but they’re tenacious
and fecund little runts. Like weeds that bite.
“There are five major goblin tribes in the region,
and, traditionally, they’re pretty good at keeping
each other in line with intertribal squabbles and the
like. Yet from what I’ve been able to piece together,
members of all five tribes were involved in the raid
on Sandpoint. A fair number of the Mosswood
goblins I dealt with yesterday were already pretty
beat up, and there was a lot of chatter about the
‘longshanks’ who killed so many of them. Now
that I’ve met you, it seems obvious from their
descriptions who they were talking about. Seems
like you’ve made an impression.
“In any event, the fact that the five tribes are
working together disturbs me. Goblin tribes don’t
get along unless they’ve got something big planned,
and big plans require big bosses. I’m afraid that
someone’s moved in on the goblins and organized
them. And judging by these recent raids, what
they’re organizing seems like bad news for all of us.”
