AL PC Update: Thox(ina)

Post-Season 7 Play
Thox is no longer Thoxina, thus for AL purposes Thox(ina) Darkvale. Before playing level 5, I decided to go with a thief rogue build with a future multiclass into barbarian. That way she could wield a rapier, but use strength and guarantee getting advantage (for sneak attack) via recklessly attacking each round.

Adventures
After Season 7 play (DDAL05-2 The Black Road, DDEP07-02 Drums of the Dead, and DDAL05-12 Bad Business in Parnast), she enjoyed Season 8 with...

DDEX1-10 Tyranny in Phlan
During this adventure, she was staying at an inn when a dragon's army attacked. She helped the people of the city fight back, organize, and get the commoners to safety. Her Harpers contact came in handy and she fought off an evil wizard on a wyvern.

DDHC TYP: White Plume Mountain
By far one of the best modules ever, White Plume Mountain is always a fun adventure. Normally I make sure I bring a character who can fly and cast spells to get around the traps, but not this time. Thoxina had to rely on her team and quick thinking to get through all of the puzzles. She was also there for the combat!

DDAL08-13 The Vampire of Skullport
She joined a team in Waterdeep fighting off vampires. Again, she mostly focused on the combat in this one.

DDHC TYP: Tomb of Horrors
Everything changed as a result of the Tomb of Horrors. When Thoxina went in with the others (including Kilrath), she never expected the magic of the place would turn her into a man and change her alignment to evil. Once she went evil, she started hanging at the back of the group and letting the other party members risk getting killed by the traps. In the end, it took barely any effort on her part and she got access to lots of great treasure as a reward (including a belt of fire giant strength).

As a man, the character is now going by the name of Thox (and looks remarkably similar to her/his twin brother).
