== | == Personality == | ||
Despite his tenacity in combat, Halsin is a gentle, honest elf, and treasures the sanctity and beauty of nature. Though a powerful healer with a lofty title, Halsin is humble and patient, but willing to act with force if the need arises. He views carnal pleasures as a natural calling and is willing for open relationships. On occasion he is known to have sex in animal shapes, he even got his scar from trying to have sex with a she-bear while wildshaped. | |||
==Background== | |||
A long time ago, when Halsin was a young foolhardy druid he went to the [[Underdark]] to see the beauty of its local unwordly fauna, where he was taken by a Noble [[Drow]] House as something between guest, prisoner and consort. The house matron and patron took an interest in him, a novelty. He was chained to their bedroom for nearly three years. | |||
Halsin did what was necessary to survive, though he does not look upon this experience negatively, as he tried to find a way to enjoy his stay there. While he feared for his life, he was waiting for a moment to win his freedom back. [[Deities#Lolth|Lolth]]'s noble houses are constantly at each other's throats and eventually his captors' rivals attacked. While the drow were distracted in a chaotic battle of drow against drow, he escaped, never having learned the ultimate fate of his hosts. | |||
Halsin | == Personal Quest == | ||
Halsin does not have a [[:Category:Companion Quests|Companion Quest]]. He is however deeply tied to [[Lift the Shadow Curse]], making this quest incompletable without his assistance. | |||

== Act One == | |||
{{SpoilerWarning}} | |||
Halsin can be found in the [[Worg Pens]] within the [[Shattered Sanctum]], held hostage and harassed by nearby goblins. [[Nettie]] will request the player to find him in order to be helped with the [[Tadpole]]. The player can either decide to join the goblins or release him. | |||
If released, Halsin offers to help the party in curing their Tadpole problem, but first asks the player to [[Defeat the Goblins|defeat the goblin leaders]]. He starts the fight [[Wild Shape|Wild Shaped]], unable to hide or take other discreet actions, but can be returned to human form at will. | |||
If the player chooses to help Halsin defeat the goblins, he will return to the [[Emerald Grove]]. Once there, he will confess that though he cannot cure them, he knows of a place where the tadpole could be removed. Providing leads on the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], Halsin offers to accompany the party on their way to [[Moonrise Towers]], so that he might lift the curse afflicting the area. | |||
