![[VendettaKressPathfinder-v1.png]] # Vendetta Kress _Tiefling Courier | [[Baldur's Gate]]_ ## Summary A wine-and-spirits courier for the [[Oathoon]] patriar family and a friend of [[Char]] from [[Baldur's Gate]]. She was seized in the [[Lower City]] and tortured in the [[Dead Three]] dungeon until she gave up the Oathoons' security arrangements. The party found her shackled and near death; [[Docktor]]'s healing brought her back, and she told them what she had seen and heard below. %% ## Now Rescued and traveling with the party after [[Char]] swore to protect her. Shaken from the torture but able to guide them — she pointed them at the heavy stone door to the north. ## Appearance A young tiefling, cut to ribbons and barely breathing when found, shackled beside an old man in the torture chamber. ## Personality Tough enough to survive the knife and still be useful afterward. Loyal to [[Char]], grateful for the rescue, and willing to fall in behind the party rather than flee. ## Connections **[[Char]]** — friend from [[Baldur's Gate]]; recognized and rescued her, and swore to protect her. **[[Docktor]]** — healed her back from the edge. **[[Oathoon]]** — the patriar family she couriered for; gave up their security under torture. ## Background **The Capture:** Attacked in the [[Lower City]], knocked out, and dragged into the dungeon to be tortured for what she knew about the Oathoons. ## Key Info - Witnessed the interrogation and death of [[Effinax]], who was questioned about the [[Jhasso]] family. - Heard a heavy stone door grind open and shut to the north, with splashing footsteps beyond — the route the party then took. %%
