Submitted by: Blake Ladenburger bladenbu@tvsonline.net
Description:
Randal is a dark-skinned man standing about 5'9", 150 lbs.. He is in his
late 30's, with short curly black hair and piercing dark blue eyes. He
usually dresses quite lavishly in expensive dark colored suits and silk
shirts. He also wears a gold ring in his right ear.
Randal is a nice and generous man who will help anyone if he can. He
usually speaks his mind and never makes an idle boast or promise he can't
back with action.
Above all, Randal's first love is gambling and he wins more often than he
loses. On the occasions when he has lost, he has been lucky not to lose too
much. Whether gambling with friends or strangers he plays for keeps, and
always takes the game very seriously.
Randal grew up in the small town of Easting where his parents ran a small
inn. When he was growing up, his parents taught him how to run the inn
hoping in time he would take over, but Randal had different plans. He
didn't want to stay in Easting his whole life running some 'smelly old
inn'. So when he turned 18 he headed out on his own. He traveled throughout
the northern regions of the Realms. He saw everything from the great city
of Calimport to the horrors of Undermountain and survived to tell the tale.
He made and lost many friends in his travels but he never let that stop
him from adventuring. He saw many beautiful things in his day but of all
the places he had seen and explored his favorite place was the small town
of Arylon. Mid-way between the cities of Waterdeep and Calimport, Arylon
was a safe haven for Randal. It gave Randal a chance to get away from the
bustle of the world and a chance to relax in a place where he didn't have
to watch his back all the time. Every chance he got he would stop to visit
with his old friend Janus who owned the Golden Goblet, the best Gambling
hall in town. Ten years ago when Randal first visited Arylon he met Janus
and found the Golden Goblet. His love for gambling has drawn him back
repeatedly and he has developed a firm friendship with Janus. In fact, his
love for the Goblet, and for his friend, is what stopped him from
adventuring. One day Janus told Randal that he was going to retire and
wanted him to take over the hall. Randal wasn't sure at first, but he
eventually accepted, and has been running the place every since. Of course,
Janus comes in from time to time to tell him what he is doing wrong, but
Randal wouldn't want this relationship to be any other way.
As for Randal's past, little is known about him in the city of Arylon. He
refuses to discuss it, choosing instead to focus on the present.. His past
is left a mystery to his closest friends, barring Janus, and most of them
respect his wishes on this point and don't push for information. Randal's
reasons for being so secretive are focused around his adventuring days. He
blames himself for the deaths of some of his friends and doesn't like to
talk about this time period. In addition, he is ashamed of some of the
things he has done while acting as a thief and doesn't want to be reminded
of the follies of his youth.
