Background

Perhaps it was the influence of her best friend, the tomboy Laurie Weathermay, or being the only girl of her generation, but Audrey grew up with strong individualistic ideals that did not quite conform to what was considered "proper" for a Mordent lady. Whilst many ladies followed on Foxhunts, Audrey was not content with merely following and participated - eventually learning how to train horses and foxhounds, and earning the "Pink" of the Master of Foxhounds. According respect to her sharpshooting skills, her father gifted her with one of the new "Rifle" firearms.

When her brother Nathaniel disappeared, her family fell into gloom, blaming the "Halloway Curse" and taking him for dead. Without a body, Audrey was unwilling to take him for dead, and against her family's desire left to search for him shortly after ending her university education. When normal means failed, she sought out the Vistani and mystical sources to locate him. Several years later - she found him in Barovia; displaced in time as well as space. Although it had been years to Audrey since his disappearance, to Nathaniel it has been just a few weeks, which explained why he had been lax in sending a message of his wayward mist travel to his family. They travelled together awhile adenturing, but after Nathaniel inherited the mayorship of Leiksburg, they quarelled over his decision to move the family to the backwards realm of Barovia. Regardless, she followed his instructions and they returned to fetch the family - only to find them gone and the family mansion full of only restless ghosts.

Nothing left for them in Mordent anymore, they began their return journey to Barovia but whilst on the ferry crossing the Arden River they were attacked by the dread mist ferryman. Engaging the ferryman, Audrey was badly wounded and her brother ordered her to flee as he protected her, and she reluctantly did so - nearly drowning in the process were it not for her foxhound who dragged her to safety. The last she saw of Nathaniel was him being greviously wounded by the ferryman as the mists clouded her vision.

Believing herself to now be the last of the Halloways, Audrey is resigned to her fate. She believes its only a matter of time before the curse comes for her too, but she is determined to face it with courage, and do as much good as she can in the time that remains. After all, her family motto is "Only by action does any man succeed" - who knows, perhaps by action a woman can succeed where so many men failed?

Signature Equipment

Armour & Weapons

• "The Pink": Audrey's master of foxhunt riding outfit, elegant and providing reasonable protection for those on a hunt (masterwork parade armour).
• "Black Bess": Audrey's signature dragoon musket rifle, made of near-black darkwood, making it deceptively light but durable (+1 ghost touch, seeking, darkwood dragoon rifle).
• Dragoon Pistol: Audrey's backup weapon for close-quarters or other times when she cannot rely on Black Bess.
• Halloway Rapier: A masterwork rapier with the Halloway family crest on the guard. It is made for left-handed users.
• Bayonet: an elongated dagger that Audey uses often as a utility knife, but can be fixed onto her firearms for use in close quarters.

Magic Items

• Far-Reaching Sight: This magical sight greatly increases the impact power of Audrey's aimed shots, hitting distant targets with the impact power her firearm would normally do at close range.
• Endless Belt: This magical belt has small loops that look like they can hold 20 cartridges but due to a subtle bending of space can actually hold

up to 60 cartridges. Additionally, the six thin pockets on the belt are extradimensional spaces meant to hold extra guns and gear. The four small pockets hold a one-handed firearm, 1 pound of ammunition, and two powder horns. The two large pockets are large enough to hold a two-handed firearm or a similarly sized object. This belt means that all of Audrey's firearms are stored away weightlessly until they are needed.
