The Party

Ghast

Human wizard (abjurer), apprentice exorcist of Clan Bone-Ward

Ghast is an apprentice of Clan Bone-Ward, a family of traveling exorcists who ward and destroy the undead as their trade. Someone paid his family to send him to help this particular party. He doesn't know who, and his future with the family rides on how he does.

He walked out of the ruins of Berez with a head full of local history, set his own bonfire underneath himself in his first fight, and lost the myconid negotiation on a natural 1. At the Vistani camp he was refused a place by the fire and answered the insult with an offer to make peace.

He read the ritual that made the bullywugs' standing stones sing, and found the torn journal page hidden in the scroll. When the road turned bloody, he had no attack spells ready, so he became the ambulance: Ireena, then Helliax, then Gesch, dragged out of the fight by the ankles. In Barovia he cast remove curse on Gesch and lifted the witch's hold on him. At the caravan, among Vistani who hate his clan, he kept very, very quiet.

First met in Failure to Communicate.
