childhood incorporated into her as Finder had done
with Alias. Flattery took advantage of this in the
hope that he could bind Cat to him as a servant that
could move about in public (unlike Flattery’s undead).
The mage said he possessed a magical memory
crystal with all of Cat’s (nonexistent) missing
memories and he’d give it to her if she married him.
She reluctantly agreed.
In truth, Flattery wished to use Cat as his tool to
gain the Wyvern’s Spur, a magical device that allowed
certain members of the Wyvernspur family to
assume the form of a great, red wyvern. As his
“father” was a Wyvernspur, Flattery hoped to use the
item for himself. He married Cat so that she too
would be a Wyvernspur and could enter the family
crypt, where the Spur was kept, and not be killed by
the crypt’s guardian that was said to kill all non-
Wyvernspurs who entered there.
Cat entered the crypt, but the Spur was already
missing; she met Giogi Wyvernspur while there. He
also was searching for the Spur. Cat told him of her
mission and how angry her master would be if she returned
without the Spur. Giogi offered her his protection
from Flattery.
Later, Flattery, frustrated with Cat’s lack of success,
kidnapped Giogi’s newborn niece as ransom for
the Spur. Giogi (with the Spur), Cat, the halfling
Harper Olive Ruskettle, and the Wyvernspurs managed
to defeat Flattery. The final battle found Giogi
in wyvern shape and Flattery in the form of a
dragon; clutched together in a precipitous dive,
Giogi pulled out before striking the ground, Flattery
didn’t.
Motivations/Goals: Flattery ultimately wanted
power, power enough to show the world (and his
father) that he was worthy of respect and love. Unfortunately,
Flattery took the road of evil, and that
course never leads to true happiness.
Campaign Uses: If Flattery survived the crash,
he’d want revenge. If he returns during the time
Finder is in the Realms, Finder would become Flattery’s
target. Otherwise, any Wyvernspur might become
Flattery’s quarry. Perhaps a PC (one who owns
some potent magical item) is a long-lost cousin of
the family and Flattery discovers this fact.
