Raxl, the Slith Rogue

Raxl’s fast.

His reflexive speed with his favored blade has saved his life countless times. His sharp tongue is usually what endangers him to begin with. His metaphorically sharp tongue, that is. His literally sharp tongue is just part of being slith.

Raxl was plainly lost in Meridia, the clifftop city central to Flowcliff, when he accosted a passerby for directions. Specifically, he said, “You! Yes, angry-looking dwarf. Where d—” before said stranger grabbed him by the armor and threatened to “throw him so hard off the city’s edge that his scales would follow him through the air like a comet’s tail.” It was one of Olgur’s more poetic threats.

Apologizing a dozen times over in as many seconds and promising a dozen ales as recompense, Raxl somehow talked Olgur down. The dozen ales would be split among them that night, and the two came to realize they had a common goal: making names for themselves.

This, of course, was all long before he was known as Rapid Raxl. At this time, he was barely known in his hometown of Stillwater as the middle of 13 siblings.

The newly formed duo endangered themselves more often than not, charging headfirst into situations with such confidence that onlookers couldn’t tell if they were witnessing hubris or idiocy. It was the natural, nervous skepticism of Aloria that finally tempered their lack of wisdom.
