Bryce Feelid

Watchmaster Bryce Feelid is a genderfluid half-elf guard. They serve as a watchmaster for the Crownsguard in Alfield. As an NPC, they are played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
They have elven features, shoulder-length blond hair, were adorned in somewhat ornate armor with a helmet when the party first encountered them, and wield a morning star in battle.

Background
When the Mighty Nein arrived in Alfield, Bryce was in their fourth year as Watch Master of Alfield.

They had at one point spent three years in the West Outersteads of Zadash, and it was from there that they had joined the crownsguard and sent to Bladegarden for training.

Arc 1: Come Together
 While exchanging volleys with the gnolls during the attack on Alfield, Watch Master Bryce sustained injuries to their midsection and thigh area. Hunkered down behind a wall with four crownsguard, they received medical attention, cursing in pain through gritted teeth as bandages were applied to their wounds.

Seeing the party approaching, weapons out and able-bodied, Bryce recruited the party to dispatch the gnolls, promising compensation at a rate of 30 gold pieces per gnoll ear. After the battle, they paid the party for their aid and arranged for their night's lodging at the Feed and Mead Tavern, guaranteeing that their stay would be paid for as long as they were helping deal with the aftermath of the gnoll attack.

 After discussing the events that led up to the gnoll attack and discussing information that they had acquired about the gnoll from research and scout reports, Watch Master Bryce tasked the party to go out and save the people abducted during the attack. They offered to pay 30 gold pieces per set of gnoll ears, 25 gold per survivor rescued and 10 gold for each dead villager recovered for families to bury.

Arc 2: The Bad Guys
 Returning to Alfield, they caught up with Bryce. They introduced them to Caduceus Clay, informed them about Mollymauk's departure and went drinking to hear about how Alfield was recovering and how the war was going.

Arc 3: The Bright Queen's Favor
 Briefly passing through Alfield, the Mighty Nein spoke with Bryce. They informed them about the recent attack on Felderwin. They seemed worried about Alfield's safety given its close proximity to Felderwin, but hoped the Xhorhasians would ignore it due to its small size and lack of tactical advantage to the Dwendalian Empire.

 The Mighty Nein needed a safe place for Edith and Luc to move to. They settled on Alfield where Bryce was serving as Watchmaster. Jester used Sending to contact Bryce, telling him that two people were incoming, a woman and a child, and asking Bryce to take care of them. Bryce agreed, but asked them not to send too many more.

 While in Rosohna, Jester contacted Bryce through a Sending spell. She asked about the possibility of them transporting Luc Brenatto to Marion Lavorre in Nicodranas. Bryce explained that they were still watching over Luc and Edith, but that they have responsibilities in Alfield. They did offer to send them to Nicodranas on their own, but the Mighty Nein decided against this plan.

Arc 4: Swords and Angels
 While travelling through Alfield on their way to Zadash, the Mighty Nein learned that Bryce was no longer located in Alfield. Instead, they had been relocated to Bladegarden for the time being, to aid in the war effort.

Post-campaign
In a post-campaign tweet, Matt Mercer confirmed that Bryce survived the war and was glad to be back to smaller townships and challenges after the stress of wartime.

Starosta Kosh
Watchmaster Bryce didn't like the "Dwendalian political bullshit"-type decisions that Starosta Kosh made in the aftermath of the gnoll attack.

Claudia Sheed
A friend of theirs from their time living in Zadash. She used to own a tavern called The Leaky Tap.
