Triq

Triquiis "Triq" Fenwyn. Mother of Innovation in Aduna. A founding member of the Chaos Legion, Builder of Squirrels, protégé to Muunc and best friend to Valadrath.

Early Life
Triq was born in Paria Village and lived among other Gnomes and Firbolgs. Even among gnomes, she was a bit of a runt and was often knocked around by others in the village, though a few were friendly. It made her feel weak and helpless. Once particular bully was a gnome boy named Kithin Pitchdock.

The Simic Scientists
Tarshak 17, 1346 Triq leaves her village and heads to the capital city, Fainarr, seeking to work under the careful hands of a Simic Scientist named Dr. Rayfield Smit, a human scientist who specialized in transformative brews

Ches 12, 1368 Dr. Rayfield refused to help Triq with her deepest desire: to become bigger and stronger, so she would no longer be bullied. Though he had notes about possible ways to enhance one’s strength and physical form permanently, he refused to give them to Triq, calling the formulas dangerous. Triq decided to steal the formulas and flee.

The Experiment
Alturik 9, 1369 Confident that she had perfected the formula concocted by Dr. Smit, Triq created a brew and drank it. At first she felt nothing, but then her coat tore, her body flexed, and fur began to grow along her arms. She began to thrash about in the hovel she had made for herself in Caldtown, far to the southeast of Aduna. When the transformation finished, Triq had turned into a bear. She destroyed her office and fled from it, then--in an uncontrolled rampage--slaughtered dozens of civilians in Caldtown before escaping the town and fleeing into Loc Crags, the terrible wasteland.

Bear Adventures
Alturik 17, 1369 In her bear form, Triq wandered for many days, struggling to find food and water. She seemed to be going in circles and was unable to escape this new form. Then, she fell unconscious. When she awoke, she was no longer in the bear form, but the resulting joy was short-lived.

Uktar 28, 1369 While exploring the fine elven city of Rasariit seeking working as a potion brewer, Triq’s form shifted of its own accord, turning her into a bear once again. For the second time, she went on a rampage, though she had some measure of control over her form. It was a bit like wrestling with a bear, though, and so her attempts to fight the bearish instincts proved unfruitful. Triq slew many people in the city before she was able to get the hulking body of her bear away from civilization. There, in the Mancaria Fields, her hulking bear form began to weep. Loneliness overtook her and, still in the bear form, she cried herself to sleep.

Uktar 29, 1369 When Triq awakened in the morning, she had reverted to her usual self. She decided that it was time to try to wrap her head around what was happening to herself and start learning to control it, at least to some degree. She began to focus hard on transforming into a bear. At first, nothing happened...

Alturik 24, 1370 It took quite a bit of training, but Triq did eventually manage to gain control over her bear form. While she didn’t have absolute control over the bear form, she did have the ability to swap between the bear form and her regular form (and vice versa) after a moment of concentration. This alone was enough to give her the confidence needed to re-enter civilization.

Marpenoth 20, 1371 Almost two years after learning to control her form, Triq had a well-performing traveling merchant’s gig. She brewed and sold various potions, crafted small enchantments, and more! She was really making a living and was doing well at it, even if she didn’t really have a place she could call home, yet.

Alturik 15, 1393 Her business still doing well and her control over her bear form having improved over the last twenty years, Triq ventures to Masca Village. She isn’t just here to trade, though… she’s here to meet a scientist named Muunc, who is said to be incredibly intelligent (if a bit crazed). Perhaps--and this is a very big perhaps--he can help her with her… bear of a problem.

Meeting in Masca
Triq walked into Masca with hope for the future in her heart. She decided to stay the night at the tavern before seeking out Munnc. While downstairs eating dinner she joined a human named Raemick and a elf named Esta. As they ate, they noticed a lone Drow being badgered by some locals. As a fight broke out the group jumped in to help the Drow. Triq discreetly cast a grease spell resulting in several people on the floor. The Drow joined the group. His name was Valadrath.

The group did not have long to bond however for the door blew open and the lights went out. In the tavern stepped the dark figure of a goliath. Breaking the silence Valadreth stood up and began to speak. What he was going to is lost to time for the Goliath swung his scythe out and sliced Valadrath from nose to navel. Triq slide to the floor. She did her best to hold her new friend’s gaping wound closed. The Golith leveled his threats then disappeared into the snowy winter night.

Triq was the first to snap out of it. Her panic rose as she watched Valadreth’s blood spread across the floor. She yelled for someone to put pressure on the wound and ran to get help. Help as it turns out was a healing potion at Varaj’s shop. She ran in asking for service. Varaj wasn’t fast enough. “I need a healing potion NOW!” she said slamming her hand on the counter in her panic. The calm firbolg gave her his aid and Valadreth lived to see another day. The group took it upon themselves to investigate. A child had been kidnapped. They were just the group to save the child and take down the villain.

In the House of Filch
The group arrived at their destination. They found pickled limbs, hearts and brains, and a ring in the home. Flitch arrived home and a fight broke out. Triq was frozen for the entire fight. She was carried by Valadreth as a preventive measure to keep her from being broken. Filch’s faithful hounds were slaughtered but the group could not overcome Filch. He fled, back to Masca for the last child. The group discovered the basement. With a large boiling pot and human size cages, it was where Filch carried out his acts. The boy was found in one such cage missing an arm. He passed out in fear after seeing Raemick, in a rage, kick open a barrel of human organs. The child was calmed by a small moving toy Triq made him. He took a liking to her and was very cooperative for the journey back.
