Evangeline O'Miranda
One of the ladies of the House of the Golden Eyes , Evangeline has dedicated her time and attention to assisting the Unders Ecological Institute both in town and on the road.
The Ambush
Alongside a merchant caravan a single wagon belonging to the Unders Ecological Society travels through the tradecaves. It is often the safest way to travel in the caves and tunnels here. Out in the wild a wagon alone could be on the menu for some of the great and terrible creatures that reside here. With a few citizen scientists in the back, the War Chameleon drawn wagon is piloted by Evangeline O'Miranda. The wagon caravan must be about ten vehicles strong. Most carry only material. Marble from deeper quarries, raw fungalite in bulk, foodstuffs fished from the subrivers and seams of the earth. Evangeline ducks her head into the back of her wagon to check on her 'team'. They are really just passengers, but paying their way by helping with research. "How's the data coming? Does it make any sense?" Fernando, the tallest and mouse moustachio'd of the citizen scientists looks up abruptly "Oh yes! We are just about finished." Hanging off the back is dwarf with goggles that seem to be made entirely of opaque stone. He's using something that looks akin to a stethescope. At every stop he has simply gotten out and listened to the stone, writing in a little slate slab notebook. But he finally speaks up. "Ground is rumbling, sounds like its bubbling and ready to go. We've found fault." He nods as though that is an alert. The other scientists don't know better, but Evangeline looks alert and turns forward again. "Good work Seismologist" She takes the reins and immediately turns, not off the path, for there is no way to leave this singular narrow cave. Rather she leads the chameleon up the side of the wall. Just before the quake. THE VERY GROUND BREAKS! The 'road' beneath begins to crack. The lizarddrawn wagons behind the Ecologists are able to turn off in time, following the lead of Evangeline, but the five wagons ahead, they don't know it until it is too late. They are crossing a fault line and their caravan is being cut in twain! The floor opens and swallows them up. Not dead, the cave opens below and they are crash. But separate. Locked away. And that was when the Koa Toans attacked. They must have somehow known about the earthquake, or caused it. With the caravan split the front half made for easy targets and fell to capture. Evangeline leading the escapees. They had another destination in mind, but it looks like Sanctuary is the heading now. She's going to need help if she's going to rescue those folks. And the moustache isn't going to cut it. The tall one asks desparately "Where are we going 'Geline?" Evangeline narrows her eyes, one glinting of gold in the light of a fungalite lantern. "We need some badasses. I'm going to the Institute."Relationships
History
They met after Evangeline’s escape from the Koa Toan ambush. Dawk was the first person to receive her when she came looking for help and he was somewhat dismissive. More than somewhat. However, professional courtesy keeps them in regular contact at the Institute.
