Kieroth

Summary
Kieroth was a villager and survivor of the Millwood massacre. He was first seen inside the inn, along with the other adventurer's. During the orc raid, he ran outside the burning inn and followed the adventurers outside the south gate. Once the party reached the Shadowfog forest, they entered the cave. Upon seeing the statue, he was one of the party members who wasn't feared by it. However, when the goblins attacked the party, kieroth was struck in the neck by an arrow and fell into a pitfall, dead.

Relationship with the Party
Though his time was brief with the party, his presence was notable in the beginning of the adventure, especially during the flight from Millwood and the beginning of the cave.

Dufrain
Kieroth felt something odd about Dufrain, especially during the flight from Millwood. Dufrain attempted to become friends with Kieroth and have him follow the party when the orcs were chasing them out of the town, something he was already going to do. Outside the town, when he tripped, Dufrain managed to trip over him while trying to help him up, which incidentally saved him from a stampede of boars that were running from the fires and the fighting of the orcs and peasants. When the party reached the inside of the cave, Kieroth was slightly intimidated by Dufrain's constant attempts to learn what the statue was by head butting it, even when blood began to run down his face.

Valen
Having separated himself from society to focus on his martial training, Valen had obviously lost most of his social skills. Valen didn't really interact much with Kieroth. Valen just wanted to hit things with sticks. A lot.

Ellen
Kieroth spoke to Ellen once, and it was a short talk at that. He asked Ellen's name, as the two had not been introduced, to which she replied a curt "Ellen". Not responding to any further inquiries about a potential last name, Kieroth eventually gave up and stopped trying to pester her. In his opinion, Ellen seemed to be a distant person, far removed from the rest of the party, separated by her cold exterior.
