Jon
Jon (handle) is the player who joined the table in session 23, taking the fifth seat after Trey left the campaign (Chris, 2026-10-10). His character is Kole, a changeling warlock from Arcanthys by Jon’s own statements in play, who enters the story as a manacled prisoner in the ridge temple and is cut free by Terry in the middle of a fight [1][14][19]. Chris confirmed the handle Jon and the spelling Kole on 2026-10-10.
Characters played
- Kole (s23-current): a changeling warlock from Arcanthys, all three by Jon’s own statements at the table [5][6][7]. Kole looks human but for his “ambery orange kind of eyes”, wears fine dark green and purple clothes under a travelling cloak, and carries a lute and no weapon [3][8]. He speaks mind to mind through what Jon calls his “awakened mind” [2], fights with Mind Sliver and a green-fire Eldritch Blast, and wears an Armor of Agathys that shattered a ghoul in his first fight [9][10][11]. Sevryn pointed him at the party about three days before they met, after “a very powerful individual”, unnamed, had sent him on his way [12][13]. His patron, his surname and his level are not stated.
At the table
Jon took the fifth seat in session 23. The DM brought Kole in as a rescue in progress: the party crept back into the temple and found him a cultist’s prisoner, in “rough-looking iron manacles”, on his way to be sacrificed [1][14]. Jon played the bound hands straight, ruling for himself that Misty Step would carry the manacles along and that he could not cast Eldritch Blast in them, and Kole asked first Father Thomas and then Terry to break the chain before Terry cut it [15][16][17][18][19]. The DM allowed the new character one uncommon magic item, as he had Father Thomas, and explained one house rule to him on the spot, that ranged attacks beside an enemy are made without disadvantage [1][20][21].
He described his character in full at the introductions, kept the reveal that Kole is a changeling for the moment the party began planning its way into Aurelia, and by the close was “making notes on everyone as to who who Kole likes at the moment” [3][7][22]. By his own account he had turned down a start at level five: “dm said oh you could set yourself to level five and i was like no no no it’s fine” [4].
