Derek

Derek is a farm boy living in Old Town who went out on a supply run and ended up several days overdue. In the Homeless Heathens first job together as professional adventurers, they sought him out, finding that he'd been captured by goblins and held captive at the goblin cave near Old Town. Derek would be the only member of his party to survive, though during the rescue attempt, his throat was slit by the goblin leader, staying alive only through the adventurers' use of healing spells.
