Tyffial Wase

Tyffial Wase is an elven blood hunter and a member of the Tombtakers.

Description
Tyffial is an elven woman with long dark hair that tumbled down past her shoulders. She carried a longsword and a shield strapped across her back and wore half plate armor.

Before Campaign 2
Tyffial Wase was a blood hunter of the Claret Orders. She left the organization with Lucien and Cree Deeproots, who felt that the Orders were "clouded" in their path, and went with them to Shadycreek Run. There, in about 829 or 830 PD, they formed the Tombtakers and worked out of the city as mercenaries, performing work ranging from theft to bodyguarding.

They were also hired for a number of expeditions into the ruins of Molaesmyr and other locations; on at least one expedition, they encountered hags and made it to the tower of Caes Mosor. Vess DeRogna hired them to accompany her on expeditions, and the Tombtakers accompanied her to the ruins of Aeor in Eiselcross and to the exterior of Molaesmyr.

In 833 PD, two years before Campaign 2, Lucien sought to go Aeor's Cognouza Ward, now in the Astral Sea. He contacted Vess to perform a ritual, but she instead sabotaged it to kill him. Having been told by Vess that it would be difficult to tell if the ritual succeeded, the Tombtakers waited until dawn. With no change in Lucien's condition, they followed Lucien's instructions to get rid of any trace of the ritual should it go wrong and buried him near their hideout. The group then disbanded.

By 835 PD, Tyffial was working in Nogvurot as a bodyguard.

Campaign 2: The Mighty Nein
She is first mentioned in the campaign after Mollymauk Tealeaf, who came to inhabit Lucien's body, met Cree in Zadash in 835 PD. Cree said that she knew Tyffial was in Novgurot and that they could meet her there or that Tyffial can be instructed to come meet them. Several months later, in 836 PD, Tyffial and the other Tombtakers gathered at Mollymauk's grave on the Glory Run Road to resurrect Lucien into the body.

Tyffial followed Lucien to Eiselcross to collect threshold crests from various Aeorian ruins; Lucien hoped to use them to bring the Cognouza Ward from the Astral Sea into Exandria. She was present during the entire the expedition to Aeor proper. While the Mighty Nein were forced to travel with the Tombtakers, Tyffial said little to the Nein and was apathetic to their attempts to befriend her, and she was more interested in the food provided by Widogast's Nascent Nein-Sided Tower.

As the Tombtakers rappelled into the ruins of Aeor, Tyffial was incapacitated by a trap set by the Nein and fell around seventy feet into a second trap of three intuit charges. She was unconscious when the Nein found her and decapitated by an unspecified member of the party. Caduceus Clay took her head with him as the group pursued Lucien and Cree deeper into Aeor. He disguised himself as Cree and spoke to Tyffial's head through Speak with Dead to inquire after details of the Tombtaker's previous trip into Aeor. He attempted to ask what the red eyes (of the Nonagon, from which Lucien received his power) meant to Tyffial, but her head laughed until he used the Decompose cantrip on it.

Abilities
Tyffial has at least 14 levels in blood hunter and at least two levels in fighter, making her at least a 16th level character. Before her appearance in the campaign, Matt's notes for described her as as a rogue multiclass rather than a fighter.
