Finnegan

Finnegan was an elderly male Enutrof who lived on the World of Twelve.

Description
Finnegan was an elderly Enutrof man dressed in tooled leather with a visibly hunched back. Though the top of his head was completely bald, he had a thick, scruffy white beard and was incredibly wiry save for his potbelly.

History
In 150,082 CMT, Finnegan died and was sent through Incarnam to be reincarnated into the World of Twelve. The only memories Finnegan retained from his former life came from the two weeks leading up to his death, during which he was a member of a mining crew. Once Finnegan's journey through Incarnam was complete, he was deposited at the Brakmar Outpost, where Master Barney of the Council of the Wise informed him what had happened to him and helped him come to terms to his reincarnation. Because Finnegan also retained his expert knowledge on rocks and minerals, Barney told him that there were rubies in the flooded plains of Astrub that might interest him. Finnegan departed the Brakmar Outpost with the intention to scope out the plains of Astrub for rubies on his way to see Master Owlboss at the nation's center.

Finnegan made his way to the flooded plains of Astrub, where he was attacked by a number of Demon Roses. Before Sarasim could step in to help, Finnegan used a Meteor spell to cause bits of rock and dirt to coalesce into a dense chunk of stone above him, which then lit ablaze with fire and crashed down into the Demon Roses, burning them all to cinders. Sarasim felt somewhat disgusted when she realized that Finnegan was an Enutrof - a famously greedy race who were also known for their bad hygiene. Finnegan assured her that he wasn't as bad as the rest of his mining crew, but promptly remembered that he had left them behind in his former life. Before Finnegan could continue, he was attacked by a group of Evil Dandelions, but Sarasim came to his rescue and destroyed them. The adventurers then properly introduces themselves to each other and decided to travel together because they were both headed to the same destination.

At one point in their travels, Finnegan stopped and hacked at a stone formation with a pickaxe for twenty minutes because he thought that, from the way the stone was formed, it was bound to contain Astrubian rubies. In her frustration, Sarasim recalled the stereotype that the Enutrof did horrible things to gain riches, which offended Finnegan and led him to recall the stereotype that Ecaflips were hedonists who would gamble their lives away for the same reasons. Sarasim saw Finnegan's point and apologized for her behavior towards him, explaining that she had not gotten to know any Enutrofs as people before she met him. In a gesture of good will, Sarasim fought off another group of Demon Roses while Finnegan continued to mine the rock. As Finnegan had predicted, he found rubies in the rock formation and gave the largest to Sarasim.

Finnegan and Sarasim then journeyed to the town of Old Astrub, but found that it was almost completely deserted. Finnegan decided to look for a blacksmith that he could sell his wares to and continued into the town as Sarasim tagged along behind him.
