Harvo — Inventory at Death
Inventory for Harvo (full name Harvalent Irsaron of Arcanthes, Howville) at his death in session 9. Mordane’s first character — a half-elf artificer sent by Sevryn via letter in s2. Killed by a hand-axe critical from a Succubus-dominated Hugo (23 damage) on a reduced max HP from spectre necrotic drain. Last words: “Well, fuck.”
Equipment at time of death
- Eldritch Cannon (Artificer summon) — Force Ballista, Flamethrower, and Protector modes used across the campaign. Cannon destroyed in the s6 Titan fight (Titan threw a boulder at it for 21 bludgeoning, destroyed); Harvo summoned a second cannon later in the same fight. Lapses on death — Artificer Infusion gone.
- +1 wand (his own gunblade-like Artificer Infusion) — lapses to non-magical at his death.
- Rapier (or standard artificer melee — specific not enumerated).
- Reinforced leather (s2 introduction).
- Alchemist’s supplies — used heavily for identifications (s2 dryad-pouch potion, s5 unidentified vials, s6 Gloom-Touched Buckler in 10 minutes, s8 Charlatan’s Die identification, vial extractions).
- Healer’s kit + Battle Medic feat — used s5 (1d8 hit-die healing into Vasquez via Battle Medic + healer’s kit), s8 (rolled 16 healing on two hit dice into Vasquez), and elsewhere.
- Crossbow / hand crossbow — implicit.
- Brewer’s supplies / Tinker’s Tools — implied for the s2 egg-carrier construction; tinkered a metal-plate spade for Vasquez s8.
Items he built or carried (most pre-death)
- Sevryn’s Egg-Carrier (built for the egg pre-s2; gifted to the party [1] — stays with the party (in Caelumn’s backpack); eventually lost s15 with the Egg.
- Vial of acid (s3 cultist loot) — lost at his death.
- Bio-gloom mushroom-cap-jar (s6 Maelis’s desk; “trying to bind to me through the glass”) — traded s7 to the Whisper Coil Emporium dwarf for 5 healing potions (Harvo got the better deal).
- Healing potion off his body — taken by Hugo at the pyre.
Personal coin at death
- Roughly 1gp + 50sp + 80cp from the s2 bandit haul; share of subsequent splits not formalised.
Death
Killed in s9 by Hugo under Succubus domination. The succubus pointed Hugo at Harvo: “Kill that one.” Hugo’s first hand-axe hit. The second was a natural 20 critical for 23 damage [2]. Harvo’s reduced max-HP from the spectres’ necrotic drain (s8) meant he could not survive the crit. Last words:
Funeral at the pyre outside the Black Vein Quarry. Vasquez cut a small piece of metal from one of Harvo’s weapons and turned it into a charm to wear (carried by Vasquez post-death). Hugo gave a brief eulogy: “you were smart, probably smarter than a lot of us here” [3]. Caelumn said burial rites and lit the pyre. Terry attempted his people’s Rite of Returning to bring Harvo’s soul into the harmony, rolled badly on Performance (he is not yet proficient), and took a permanent -1 Charisma [4].
A sealed letter from Sevryn appeared at the pyre confirming Sevryn foresaw the death and sent Harvo anyway [5]: “the path you’re on only stays open if the wrong thing happens at the right time.”
