Sanskreet was on a trip of bad luck. The young aarakocra had been offered a chance to guard a caravan. He did not know the caravan was heading straight through Eldarrich to his dismay, 3 templars found him in the back of the caravan. He gave a spirited fight using his hocatch and papiks, but in the end, he went down to an obsidian blade. Later they searched him and found some strange weapons...
