Veks

"Ah! Visitors. Rare to see in this cold damp dungeon."

~Veks

Veks was a kobold sorcerer in the service of Taqtrekis' cult. He was imprisoned by his master after manifesting magical abilities, despite Taqtrekis' plans to empower his followers through his blood. Veks helped the adventurers' group progress through the Dragonsbeard Tunnels after he was freed from his prison.

Early Life
Little is known of Veks' early life, except for his service as a scribe for his draconic master.

The Events Before Mirrorpoint
The adventurers found Veks imprisoned with Sydrin Havenwood beneath the ruined town of Dragonsbeard. Though he asked for the adventurers' help, they were initially skeptical. He identified Sydrin Havenwood (whom the players had been asked to find by Germund Balderen) as a member of Taqtrekis' cult, much to the party's surprise; however, they decided to open Sydrin's cell first. In doing so, they awakened the Warden Frog from the pond made by the dilapidated stone floor.

Opening Veks' cell, the players found the sorcerer instrumental in defeating the monster. Veks, recognizing the poisoned and badly wounded Dran as a fellow member of the cult, rushed to his aid, shaming Arcene and Badu into sharing their antivenoms. Veks would join the adventurers in fighting his former master.

In the wake of Taqtrekis' and Dran's deaths, as well as Sydrin's capture, Veks decided to travel with Plikpluk to Nightingale, mentioning a need to find answers.
