Black hair dye

As the party travelled from Senneborn to Kaarst by boat from 1 Thelliea to 10 Thelliea, Anrel attempted to create a disguise for himself in order to remain unrecognized by anyone he'd previously known there. He attempted to complete his disguise with black hair dye and makeup, but the end result was not terribly convincing.

Buying more hair dye

On 14 Thelliea, the party prepared to leave The Copper Roost for Kaarst City Watch Headquarters to interrogate the members of the Knives of Mystra they'd captured the night before. Vichthart mentioned to Anrel that he wanted to visit Kade Sirrine Kathedrale that day to ask why magic is banned in the city, and knowing that Anrel is trying to go unrecognized by members of the church, suggested that he could find something else to do at that time. Anrel mused that he needed to buy some new black hair dye because his previous application was starting to fade.

When the party finally departed together, Anrel was immediately distracted by a cosmetics shop and entered to buy black hair dye. Everyone else waited outside, especially Mira who had just seriously upset the shopkeep that morning by attempting very badly to haggle down the price of various items that he wanted to create a disguise for Uthan.

The owner told Anrel that the price of black hair dye was 5 gold pieces, causing Anrel to remember that he doesn't carry any money, so he excuses himself from the shop saying he had left his wallet at home. Outside, Vichthart gave Anrel the 5 gold pieces, and Anrel returned inside to purchase the black hair dye, saying it turned out he did have his wallet on him after all.

Losing the hair dye

Shortly before sunset on 15 Thelliea, the party found themselves fighting a bone devil underneath Kaarst. After being at the receiving end of Grokko's Bend Luck spell, and failing to smash barrel of ashfire oil against it, Anrel grappled the devil and forced it over the edge of the cobble island and into the raging waters below. It retaliated by stinging him and filling him with poison, causing Anrel to sink into the water.

While unconscious, Anrel held a conversation with what seemed to be Zaheer, which resulted in his waking up feeling strong, with electricity coursing across the surface of his armour. He used his strength to grow luminous wings of crackling lightning from his back, and used those to fly himself (and Grokko) into the air, where he dealt final devastating blows against the bone devil, finally killing it.

Although Anrel then passed out, lost his wings and fell to the ground, when he first came to his body had been changed in a few ways, not all of which he immediately noticed. His arms were covered in spiderweb scars, his eyes previously bright yellow had acquired a blue tinge, and the black dye had been burnt out of his hair.
