Deep within an uncharted forest where trees reach the sky and silence speaks louder than words, a halfling infant was left behind. No one came looking. No one called his name. Wrapped only in a coarse [[Thola's Blanket\|blanket]] embroidered with ancient faded runes, the child cried beneath the canopy—until the forest answered.

	From the shadows emerged a wolf—enormous, gray, and silent—with eyes that shimmered not with hunger, but with understanding. But this was no ordinary beast. It was Elaren, an old druid who had long ago shed civilization and taken the shape of a wolf to live in balance with the wild. Elaren knew who the child was—and why he’d been left behind. But he kept his true form hidden from the halfling.		From the shadows emerged a wolf—enormous, gray, and silent—with eyes that shimmered not with hunger, but with understanding.

Elaren knew who the child was—and why he’d been left behind. But he kept his true form hidden from the halfling.

	The Halfling never learned to speak. He learned from the world around him: the way vines creak before a storm, how the wind shifts before danger, how a flick of an ear or twitch of a tail can speak volumes. He stalked, hunted, climbed, fought. His senses sharpened. His thoughts became instincts. He was not raised by a man, but by the law of the forest and the rhythm of the pack.

	For the next couple of weeks the boy returned daily to the orchard and the man would wait for him. It took him a couple of days to notice the man, but when he did, he did not run or try to hide. He looked at the man with a curious eye, analyzed the man’s behavior. The man was calm, stayed at a safe distance, did not move or approach the kid. After this first encounter and every day after the man would be sitting at the fence of the orchard closer to where the boy would enter. The boy would notice the man, but focus on his objective. Until one day the man spoke to him: “What is your name?” The boy got spooked, showed his teeth and growled at the man. The man directly understood that the boy did not understand him, nor spoke in common tongue. The man looked at the Halfling and spoke: “Oscar… I will name you Oscar” while pointing at the young boy. After a short hesitation the boy fled back to the forest. While enjoying his well earned “stolen” apples he repeated the words of the man in his head: “Os-car”. It made him curious… He decided that the next day he would return to the orchard and find to the old man again.

	The next morning, something felt wrong. Oscar crept toward the orchard—but the old man was gone. He did not smell, see, nor hear the man. No scent. No sign. No breath on the wind. His instincts screamed flight—but something deeper urged him forward. He wanted to find the man. Learn from him. During this moment of hesitation, he heard a whistling sound, and before he knew it, a bola had struck his legs. Instantly, Oscar drew his spear, started growling and hissing, and looked around him. Within seconds, a group of men on horseback had surrounded him—clad in bright, rattling metal that clanked with every movement. One man looked different though... A thin man in dark leather armor was among them. The man misses a tip of his left ear and holds a bola in his hand. He speaks to the others: "Seize him!". In a brief moment, he saw the old man in the background being held by one of them. The man holding him looked similar to the others. Before Oscar could act, a mace struck the back of his head—and everything went black.		The next morning, something felt wrong. Oscar crept toward the orchard—but the old man was gone.

	When Quinton points out the safe to Oscar the only thing on is mind is "Mystery Crate". When the rest of the party is distracted by something Oscar quickly picks the safe's lock and grabs the bag of coins that is in it. The thrill of opening the lock and finding something in the safe for him to take makes him super happy. When Darius sees Oscar taking a bag of coin from the Safe he points and whispers to Oscar to put it back in the safe. Not fully understanding Darius, Oscar mistakenly seems to think that Darius wants some of the coin and hands a handful of coin over to him. When Darius does not respond in the way Oscar hoped he used Heart Sight to connect with Darius. Darius seems upset, but this time the emptiness and sorrow that he feels from Darius is much less than the last time they connected.

Sitting by the fire, Oscar reflects on the last few days and how strange they have been. The only familiar thing to him was probably the of rats that he ate...Why did they take him away? What happened to the old man? Who are these people? Where is he? He has had so many impressions over the last couple of days from a civilized, yet unknown world.

	~~Why did they take~~ him ~~away? What happened~~ to the ~~old~~ man~~? Who are these people? Where~~ is he?		So many things are going through his head that he finds it hard to focus on one particular thing. He looks around at the other people around the campfire, one by one.The well-dressed human who offered him grapes on the ship seems to have good intentions... When the man slipped off the trapdoor on the sea, Oscar instinctively reached out to him and pulled him back up. Oscar is not entirely sure why he did it... He even gave Oscar a spear that he had found in the cave. Oscar looks at the spear next to him, grabs it, and examines it. It feels very balanced, yet unnatural. There is something about it that Oscar just cannot place.

	He ~~has had so many impressions over~~ the ~~last couple~~ of ~~days~~ from ~~a civilized, yet unknown world~~.		The female elf seems very hurt, yet she looks strong and determined. Oscar looks over to the gnome, who just wrapped his head, and notices that his eyes have changed colors. Something feels very odd, and it frightens Oscar. He grabs the necklace that he found. There are numerous teeth. Oscar recognizes the shape of the teeth and quickly determines they are from big cats such as tigers or panthers. It definitely holds magical capabilities.

	~~So many things are going through his head that~~ he ~~finds~~ it ~~hard~~ to ~~focus on one particular thing~~. He ~~looks around at~~ the ~~other~~ people ~~around~~ the ~~campfire, one by one~~.		As Oscar's own necklace was taken away from him, he seems very content to have found a new one. With a smile, he puts it on. Oscar reaches over to his pouch and opens it. He is relieved as he sees that the blanket is still intact and only slightly damp and dirty. It's time to rest now, who knows what tomorrow will bring... For now Oscar is determined that staying with these people increase the chances of his survival..

As Oscar lies in his bed in the Grey Minstrel Inn, he takes a deep breath while looking out the window. He sure is happy to finally be on solid ground and well... above ground again. Sleeping indoors with a roof above his head is still a strange thing, but the comfort of a bed is surely warm welcome.He is slowly getting more used to the company, their rituals, their way of interacting and living around eachother. It is a shame the spear that he was given by Quinton broke so quickly, it must have been of very poor quality if it breaks after a single attack...

The Necklace is now missing a tooth after Oscar used it to fight the creatures underground. He looks at his hands, which look normal to him. The Necklace seems very powerful to him. Everything that happened underground still confuses him, the runes, the interaction with the Halfling, the environment... A big mystery to him.

	~~The female elf seems very hurt, yet she looks strong and determined.~~		Atleast, with the golden tooth that he found on the market stall Oscar was able to buy a new spear. He has seen plenty of people trading shiny objects for food, materials or weapons. The man he traded the golden tooth with for a new Spear sure seemed happy with the deal!

-As the days turn into weeks, Oscar’s world has expanded beyond the trees, though he still views these "civilized" companions through the lens of a pack animal.
+During the encounter with the Harpies Oscar had used his bow in combat for the first time. And to his delight it was even quite effective. While fighting the harpies the runes on Oscar's Blanket started to glow faintly and gave Oscar additional properties. Properties that he would find very useful in the future.
-After the adventure where Oscar and his companions killed the Ogre he has become obsessed with the bow and arrow. After their return to the city he was able to explain he wants to have a bow in addition to his spear.
+He has grown to trust the tall ones in his circle. Quinton and Dauphine have shown him a kindness he didn't know existed in the world of stone and metal. They do not growl or strike when he is confused; instead, they offer patience, they help him, offer food and drinks, teach him things. Dauphine, in particular, has found a way to bridge the silence between them. She created marks on parchment, drawings of food, water, danger, and shelter and many more. When the words of the common tongue become a buzzing hive in his ears, Oscar can simply point to her sketches.
-In the hours the party was resting or when Oscar found a moment he practiced with the bow.
+Then there is the gnome, Darius. Oscar watches him with a wary curiosity. At night, when the others sleep, Oscar’s sharp eyes have seen the gnome’s form shift and blur.

He often runs his calloused fingers over the faded runes, feeling the rhythm of the embroidery even if he cannot read its meaning. It smells of the deep forest—of damp moss and the ancient wolf, Elaren. To anyone else, it is a ragged scrap of cloth; to Oscar, it is his only proof that he belongs to something, or someone, beyond the cage he was found in. It is his anchor in a world that moves too fast.
-While fighting the harpies the runes on Oscar's Blanket started to glow faintly and gave Oscar additional properties.
+His instincts were put to a different kind of test during a dark trek through the city's veins. While moving through a narrow, grime-stained alley with Darius and the woman named Jinnie, a sound sliced through the humid air—an agonizing, guttural cry of a woman in pain. Oscar’s ears twitched, and his muscles coiled, ready to spring toward the source of the distress. Every animal instinct screamed to investigate the predator or the prey. However, he looked at Darius and Jinnie. They did not break their stride; they carried a weight of purpose that did not include the shadows of that alley. For a heartbeat, doubt gnawed at him—a flicker of the forest law that says one must heed the cries of the woods—but he saw the determination in his companions' eyes. He was part of a pack now, and the pack was moving forward. Oscar pushed the doubt into the dark corners of his mind and followed their lead, leaving the cry behind in the cold stone silence.
 To Oscar, Jinnie’s death was not a "tragedy," but a sudden, violent transformation. One moment, she was a source of heat and movement; the next, she was as still as a fallen log. He watched the blue shadow creep across her skin, a color he recognized from the venomous things that crawl in the deep brush. When they reached the clearing to burn the body, Oscar’s attention shifted to the gnome, Darius. Oscar Notices a change in Darius, he has become more silent, his posture is different than usually. After some days, using his '''Heart Sight''', Oscar reached out, his hand brushing against Darius’s cloak. The connection was a jolt. Through the blanket, Oscar didn't just see the gnome’s sorrow; He felt everything.....

			After weeks of working and spending time together with the party Oscar is getting used to the loudness of the city, to people speaking. Certain sounds and words repeat and begin to stand out. He does not understand most of it, but he starts to recognize that some words belong to people, actions, objects.

			He stays close to the others more often. Their names are often repeated. Darius, Dauphine, Quinton. They call him Oscar. The same name he was given by the old man at the orchard. He did not think much of it how they learned that name, but he started to get familiar with it.

			When Oscar finds time to spend on his own he practices the names, simple words, tries to listen to conversations from the party or even other people. Sometimes standing a little too close so people shoo him away. Quinton has taken Oscar to practice some simple words in the park. Words that match the symbols Dauphine gave him on a sheet. He learned the meaning of the words Yes and No fairly quickly.

			After the event with Darius and the killed woman Oscar finds himself often near Darius, the connection they made through Heart Sight has kickstarted a mutual trust between the two. Even though words are not fully understood, the connection is still there.

			Oscar recognizes the pattern of the party receiving jobs through various people that in turn reward him with gold coin. Usually he follows the rest of the party blindly when he does not understand what the job is, but he constantly checks with them to understand if there is something he needs to point his bow at.

			On a later trip the party encountered a man with a bunch of crates. One of the party members handed over some gold pieces to the man and got a crate in return. The contents of the crate was a mix of various objects. Being intrigued by this Oscar handed over some gold and was given a crate. After opening it his crate contained a different assortment of objects. Both confused and excited he looked at the two other party members that had not gotten crates yet and Oscar handed over some more coins so they also got a crate. This Mystery crate concept excited Oscar so much he handed over even more coins to everyone in the party got an additional crate. This feeling, this exciting feeling was completely new to Oscar. He just wanted to buy more and more of the crates until his ran out of coins. Fortunately for him (Oscar doesn't know) Quinton pushed the party away from the man. The only regret Oscar had that they is that he didn't buy more crates for him and his friends.

			After arriving at the destination Oscar's mind was still with the Mystery Crates. The party stayed the night and ventured into the cellar, looking for something of which Oscar has no idea. The party went down through the tunnels and encountered Skeletons. Instinctively Oscar follows the party with destroying the skeletons. Oscar notices Darius is extremely focused on destroying the undead and is determined to help him with doing exactly that. When they encounter a flaming skeleton Oscar does not hesitate and fires directly at it. When stepping backwards Oscar is being engulfed by a Gelatinous cube. After a fierce battle both the cube and the flaming skeleton are brought down when a Child appears. The child holds a a large disk and when the party approaches a wave of energy flies out and downs Oscar. When being brought back Oscar feels nothing but Anger towards the kid. It's a target, an enemy, but the party members do not seem to attack the boy, instead to try to reason with him. Oscar fires a warning shot in an attempt to scare off the kid, but that unfortunately does not help as the boy readies itself to defend himself.

			Oscar does not understand much from the conversation that follows, but he does understand that the ring holds some kind of power. Afterwards the party ventures deeper into the tunnels, but it seems they do not find what Dauphine is looking for.

			A new job is presented by a halfling with a missing hand to find a missing object. Oscar is determined to help the party find whatever this "Bust" is. After following the party to a building Quinton seemingly disappears and appears inside to open the door for the rest of the party. When the party moves quietly through the building Oscar is handed [[Phlegethos’ Pick]] by Darius. With a simple instruction from Darius, Oscar manages to open the door rather quickly. The pain from the Pick is quickly forgotten by the joy and price Oscar is experiencing from opening that lock.

			When Quinton points out the safe to Oscar the only thing on is mind is "Mystery Crate". When the rest of the party is distracted by something Oscar quickly picks the safe's lock and grabs the bag of coins that is in it. The thrill of opening the lock and finding something in the safe for him to take makes him super happy. When Darius sees Oscar taking a bag of coin from the Safe he points and whispers to Oscar to put it back in the safe. Not fully understanding Darius, Oscar mistakenly seems to think that Darius wants some of the coin and hands a handful of coin over to him. When Darius does not respond in the way Oscar hoped he used Heart Sight to connect with Darius. Darius seems upset, but this time the emptiness and sorrow that he feels from Darius is much less than the last time they connected.

			Darius went back to the safe to put the coins back as Oscar walked towards the door of the office to check on the others. Not being able to see the others Oscar Beckons Darius and speaks his first word: "Da-Rius" and points towards the others. And it's only the beginning...
