History
Soup began traveling through the Scratchwood in early 989 IaC. He met with a group of adventurers known as the Cursebusters, sharing a meal with Caedali. He left a small bag of white powder with the group, and bid them farewell after a night of rest.
Soup later met up with his mercenary group, the Lonely Fingers, and protected the artifact the group had exhumed from the Eldag Dungeon, the Unknown. Later, the group was betrayed by the necromancer Nettleberry, and in the confusion, the Knocking Stone was stolen by Ayla Raddock as the Cursebusters distracted. Soup tried to negotiate with Kel Stevaen to convince her not to steal the artifact, but was ultimately forced to retreat after the deaths of many of his comrades. Some of his cooking supplies were stolen by Lambchop, along with a number of charcoal drawing Soup had made of people he shared meals with, including Cora Merrywine.
