Dren is the group’s reliable frontliner: the one who takes space, soaks pressure, and keeps enemies busy while everyone else does the “clever” stuff. When things go bad, he’s still standing—or standing on 3 HP and pretending that’s normal.

• Unyielding: Repeatedly framed as a “hold the line” presence in combat.
• Direct problem-solver: Less talk, more impact (as reflected by his repeated frontline highlights).
• Quietly hard to kill: Survived the sewer fight with 3 HP and stayed in the mix.

• Session 1 — The brain-eaten incident: Dren was found being tortured in the sewers alongside Floon Blagmaar (torturers included a wizard, a Mind Flayer, and an Intellect Devourer). The Intellect Devourer consumed Dren’s brain, incapacitating him.
• Session 1 — Back from the brink: The party got Dren to a temple; Floon funded a Wish spell that restored Dren’s mind.
• Session 2 — Legal consequences: Dren was imprisoned for 10 days, fined 32 gold, and placed on 3-month probation. (Reason for arrest: Not stated.)
• Session 3 — Fireball aftermath investigation: After Silas identified the blast as magical, Dren confirmed the Necklace of Fireballs was what it appeared to be.
• Session 3 — Sewer ritual fight: Held the frontline with maul (and unspecified spells), surviving with 3 HP.
• Session 4 — Gralhund Villa bloodbath: Cleared rooms and fought side-by-side with Captain John through multiple ambushes inside the villa.

• Floon Blagmaar: Key turning point: Floon funded the Wish spell that restored Dren after the Intellect Devourer attack.
