The Steelport Refugees

The Steelport Refugees
Bound for sale on the slave market by Luxton "Uncle Lucky" Fetch, this disparate group of captives were rescued by Denavir and secreted to the Temple Helm, under the care of Father Danbrook, for protection until the Uncle Lucky matter could be resolved.
 * Merry Stonecrusher - a dwarf from the Silverfang Mine in the Dragonspine Mountains, Merry left the home mine to try and build an independant life.  Unfortunately, Merry was captured by marauders and ended up being acquired by Uncle Lucky for the slave trade.  Upon achieving freedom, Merry decided it was time to defy dwarven custom and live the personal truth that she is a woman.  She formed a strong bond with all the refugees, especially Kiliel, and gladly adopted Kessa, the half-orc girl.
 * Kiliel Landara - a half-elf from the edge of Dannanwood Forest, Kiliel's village was laid to waste by marauders, leading to his acquisition by Fetch.  He and Merry formed a strong bond, and the pair of them vowed to provide a happy home for Kessa.
 * Darvin and Darabella Tavish - Halfling siblings who ended up being sold into slavery over a debt owed to a criminal much like Fetch.  Former dancers, they took quickly to the self-defense lessons Denavir imparted to the refugees.
 * Kessa - a little half-orc girl who lost her entire family to marauding warlords.  She took an immediate liking to Chops, and it was mutual.  Chops even gifted the young girl a helmet to keep as a reminder of her heritage and those no longer with her.  Happily adopted by Merry at the end of the Steelport arc.
 * Klyve Kandu - a human teenager who grew up in poverty and ended up being sold into slavery by the one who was supposed to be his guardian.  He has shown an knack for stealth and quickly picked up the knife-fighting lessons Denavir imparted.  He and Denavir grew especially close, seeing something of themselves in each other.  As a parting gift, Denavir left him with a stone on a necklace, carved with the word "Rogue" in Drowic.  Despite his youth, he intends to make good on his promise to watch out for the other refugees, especially Kessa.
