Toby

Stub-class article

Toby is the player whose character is Caelumn, the draconic-sorcerer with a fire-only spell list and a complicated relationship with the Platinum Order. He has been at the table the full recorded run (s2-current). The character’s canonical spelling, Caelumn, was confirmed against D&D Beyond.

Characters played

  • Caelumn (s2-current): Draconic Sorcerer, fire-themed on the player’s side (“he just wants to be a fire dragon”, as Chris has put it to the wiki), origin within Vhal’Zarim’s Platinum Order. Carries a draconic bloodline tied to Bahamut’s flame; exact dragon type unresolved (per the DM’s post-s17 ruling, which does not confirm red). The fire spell list sits awkwardly with a Bahamut-aligned organisation; Caelumn’s status with the Order is left unstated by the player at the table and treated by the wiki as effectively a former or rejected initiate. Holds the Soulbinder’s Packed Ring, Maelis Dirn’s ring, which Terry passed to him in s7 [1]; its one soul on record is an owlbear’s, taken in s11 [2].

At the table

Toby’s Caelumn voice is pompous, devout, draconic-sorcerer cadence, with persistent self-deprecation about his own bad rolls and the fire-only build’s narrowness. Recurring tells: “I shall fire a Fire Bolt.” [3] and “I’m going to cast mage armor preemptively” [4] as opening combat moves, “I have the utmost faith in Gwen.” [5], and the “Nick’s a dick” jab when the dice or the encounter design go against him (“I want to have a look around the room, but it’s fucking pointless because I’m exhausted because Nick’s a dick.”, [6]).

His self-introduction came at the start of s2: “I am Caelumn, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” [7]. Notable real-world tell: “hello sorry i was muted um so i’m eating a burger” [8].

In session 23 the DM’s d4 picked him for the table recap, which doubled as a briefing for the new player Jon, and the DM rewarded it out of character: “Toby, for that brilliant recap, I’m going to give you a magic item.” [9][10]. The item, a Cap of Water Breathing, went onto Caelumn’s sheet; the award was a one-off, and no find is narrated in the fiction [11][12].
