Drandy Savage
Played by: Donovan Bollard
First appeared in: Keeper of the Ways
Drandy Savage is a black dragonborn paladin with a shield, a red cape, boots and a holy symbol around his neck. In 3.501: Under a Strange Sky he first announces himself as "Dragon Bee Daddy, fire breather from the north" before remembering his real name. He swears a lot for a paladin, peppers his speech with "hell yeah, brother", and uses his Divine Sense as the party enters Evanstone.
In 3.502: Monster Squad he offers his services as a paladin to the shopkeeper Alam in Evanstone and asks why nobody goes out at night, shares a vision of another place with Tim, and uses his Divine Sense in the alleys to pick up presences that are neither quite undead nor quite fiend.
In 3.503: Polterheist he turns a dead light's tendril aside with his holy-symbol shield, which glows with white light, and leaps the rooftops of Evanstone to reach the mayor's manor. He smashes a window with his sword to get the party inside, and later slices into one of the stone creatures in the master bedroom with his longsword.
In 3.504: Gleaming the Cube he searches the desk in the mayor's study and turns up twenty gold, a pouch of keys and a ring of jumping, which lets him cast jump as a bonus action. He offers to jump down the hole and volunteers his acid breath against the gelatinous cube.
In 3.505: Lighting the Way he lights the lantern in the mayor's study and sees two boys at a window, one of whom falls through it, and then a man in glasses performing a ritual that sends five minds across the void. The DM tells him that he is Dr. Simeon, whose consciousness crossed over into a dragonborn's body in search of his lost brother. He also calls Tim "brother" and plans to fetch him home.
In 3.506: Brother's Keeper he holds the front line behind his shield against Shen's ghouls, lands a Divine Smite that nearly cuts one in half, and charges Shen across the hilltop, ignoring his eldritch blasts. His acid breath melts Shen's face and kills him, and he says that he has to get his brother Tim home. With the book readable, the party finishes the ritual that opens the way.
