## King Bach (The Mayor) Current mayor of [[Everdour]], successor to [[Lord Lorenz]]. ### Description - Lives in a massive, desolate house - Has a Tabaxi consort - The Tabaxi has a winged white cat (possibly a Tressym) - Thought he was picked for his strength ### The Succession Previous mayor Lord Lorenz died, raving mad near age 100: - Lorenz told Bach: "You will succeed me King Bach, it has been decreed, they will come soon, sorry" - Lorenz lingered for 2 days after this pronouncement - Death is infrequent in Everdour (nobody lives past 50 due to [[Euphustis|The Baron]]'s tributes) - The mayor's job is to watch for the madness coming ### Visit from The Baron One night, Bach awoke to find wine being poured: - Pale hand in the moonlight - Voice "cruel as knife's edge" said "come sit and drink mayor" - The Baron spoke cryptic words like recalling a dream - Bach was struck dumb as if spelled - The Baron's presence was terrible yet captivating - When Bach woke, Lord Lorenz's body was gone - The Baron seemed melancholy, as if "everything pale memory of greater days" ### The Assembly When the heroes defied the Grooglemen, Bach called an Assembly at midday and demanded the party (seven strangers) be offered as tribute to absolve the city. [[Eladan]]'s speech convinced the citizens to defy him and stand with the heroes instead. ### Sessions - [[DoJ Session 19]] (Assembly) - [[DoJ Session 21]] (visit from The Baron) - [[DoJ Session 26]] - [[DoJ Session 27]] - [[DoJ Session 28]]
