Aldric Rombobo(Aldric)

Aldric is a biology researcher manifesting as a human male with a head distinctly shaped like a schoolhouse. Rather than a typical mortal, he is a materialized thought born from the Materia Swamp, originating from the dreams or thoughts of an unknown person on the material plane. He views his own existence with gratitude, taking it as evidence that his unknown creator must have been creative, intelligent, and good. Research and Exploits Aldric became trapped in the Lesnina forest for ten days after attempting to circumvent a harengon camp near Elminster's tower on his journey back from Gossamer. While stranded, he dedicated himself to studying the forest, leaving behind a journal that documented his observations of Lunaryn, the forest's ancient elk guardian. He also managed to collect a blue liquid sample directly from the creature's hooves. Despite his scholarly focus, he proved to be deeply compassionate and brave. He saved a small fey hedgehog named Gaga and its family from predators by deliberately drawing the creatures' attention to himself so the hedgehogs could escape. Encounter with The Uninvited Aldric eventually stumbled upon The Uninvited while they were resting in ancient ruins. After he asked for their help to escape the forest, the party instead proposed using him as bait to lure out apex predators. Aldric found the plan highly illogical and became deeply angered by the suggestion. He was particularly disgusted by Greg's subsequent attempts to laugh off the situation and charge him 1,000 gold pieces for protection, viewing the cleric's behavior as sociopathic. Rejecting their help, Aldric chose to separate from the party and headed south to find his own way out of the forest.
