| Notes |
Gaedren’s right-hand man and his longestlived accomplice is Yargin Balko, a bitter human alchemist who’s served variously as Gaedren’s accountant, advisor, assassin, and fence for nearly a decade. Yargin is a perpetually sour-faced man with short blond hair and a fondness for expensive clothing. As the public face of the operation here, he takes pride in his appearance even though his taste in clothes always seems to be at least 2 decades out of style. Yargin is also the man responsible for seeing that Gaedren gets regular shipments of food, water, and entertainment through the hidden trap door, since the old man abhors going out in public and spends so many days shut into his den below. When Yargin is ready to send supplies, he knocks three times, then once, then three times on the trap door to alert Gaedren, who then removes the wedge from below so Yargin can make the delivery.
Yargin’s true obsession is acid, he carries several vials of the stuff with him wherever he goes. He has even concocted a weak acid that plays a key part in the rendering of fish into slurry (and is sometimes used to punish wayward orphans).
During Combat Yargin prefers to use his wand of acid splash in combat, but since he needs to roll to activate it with an attune roll, it occasionally fails—each time it does, he erupts into a loud burst of profanity and shakes the wand in frustration.
Once he fails to use the wand a third time, he gives up and switches to thrown vials of acid or his crossbow. He is deathly afraid of melee combat, and fights with his dagger only if cornered.
Morale Once he has used up his acid and his wand has failed him three times (or as soon as he takes any melee damage at all), Yargin shrieks in panic and attempts to flee to Gaedren’s side to warn him. That he might inadvertently lead Gaedren’s enemies right to him doesn’t cross his mind in his panicked state.
