Samwell Staxford is a human zealot and paladin of the Cult of the Absolute found on the Rosymorn Monastery Trail. Having accidentally stumbled upon hostile githyanki youth, he raised a group of undead Death Shepherds and Ghouls to assist but ultimately perished in the ensuing fight.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Following the capture of Duke Ravengard from Waukeen's Rest by nearby goblin forces loyal to the Absolute, Samwell Staxford was amongst those tasked to bring the duke to the Absolute by General Ketheric Thorm. He and his party presumably escorted the captive duke through the Mountain Pass and into the Rosymorn Monastery Trail, before unwittingly encountering a group of githyanki youth who have been training outside the Rosymorn Monastery.

Samwell Staxford's party left him and another zealot[1] behind to fight the githyanki,[2] forcing him to summon the undead to help but ultimately perishing in the attempt (X: -91 Y: -116), covering the rest of the party's flight with the duke. His body can be found surrounded by two Death Shepherds, a Ghast, and a handful of Ghouls.
