Cohorts: Dala Hablininbay, Strike, Ezekiel, Gowla
Gowla's adventuring party suffered the loss of two members, and she almost died. Saved by the crew of the Ayres, she now travels with them. She helps by crafting items, supplying them with infusions, and occasionally joining them on their myriad adventures.
She wants to investigate the town where she grew up, but it is overrun with monsters. It was adjacent to a gem mine on the main continent, but she had to abandon it with her father and move to Boulder many years ago. She knows of a cache of gems left behind, and she has unfinished business against the creature that took her mother's life who still inhabits the area, preventing retaking of the mine.

Infusions
Cloak of Elvenkind
Item: A cloak
While you wear this cloak with its hood up, Wisdom (Perception) checks made to see you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide, as the cloak's color shifts to camouflage you. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.
Enhanced Weapon
Item: A simple or martial weapon
This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it
Many Handed Pouch
Item: 2-5 pouches
The infused pouches all share one interdimensional space of the same capacity as a single pouch. Thus, reaching into any of the pouches allows access to the same storage space. A pouch operates as long as it is within 100 miles of another one of the pouches; the pouch is otherwise empty and won’t accept any contents.
If this infusion ends, the items stored in the shared space move into one of the pouches, determined at random. The rest of the pouches become empty.
Wand of Secrets
Item: A wand
The wand has 3 Charges. While holding it. you can use an action to expend 1 of its Charges, and if a secret door or trap is within 30 feet of you, the wand pulses and points at the one nearest to you. The wand regains 1d3 expended Charges daily at dawn.
