Meet Kamist


As you walk into the Three Hills Adventuring Company building for the first time (as a member, that is), you see the common room is already full or people. The first person your eyes are drawn to is the tall Wizard in the corner talking to Elgan, Jerin, Tarin, & Sarin. Standing six feet four inches tall, he is wearing a green, pointed, “Wizard’s hat” that easily adds another eight inches to his overall appearance. A stylish green robe (probably bought in Waterdeep) hangs off his broad shoulders and seems to be concealing a strong, athletic body. He seems to want to announce the fact that he is a spellcaster by his choice in clothing alone. Lustrous, brown hair pours out from under his hat to cascade across these massive shoulders and as he glances your way to acknowledge your entrance with a welcoming nod, you can’t help but smile back because of the charming sparkle in his eye.

Of course you recognize him as Kamist Tirgan. He is a Diamond Lake resident who spent a few years in Waterdeep as an actor and comedian. In fact, you’ve caught his act at the Emporium several times. He’s hilarious, but what gets into an actor’s head to make him think he can become an adventurer?

As you walk across the room to Suzanna who is waiting here to greet you, she grins and motions over to Kamist, “He’s been telling that story for nearly a bell now, so don’t go over just yet. You want to hear this joke from the beginning.” Kamist’s arms gesticulate as his story draws to a close, revealing the ornate, green, glowing tattoo on his right arm. The tattoo extends all the way down to the tip of his pointing finger and disappears into the folds of his robe and probably rises all the way to his shoulder.

The only part of the story you hear is the very end, when he looks his audience right in the eye and says, “Fuck you, clown.” After a brief moment, you see the punch line sink in and four people burst into howling laughter.
