Melodia "Mel the Rat Eater"

During their first mission as an adventurer Melodia was a Bard,   they had taken a simple (though low paying) job to clear a basement of rats.  things did not go as planned, as the job was a trap, a powerful undead  was using it to lure in easy to kill people. Melodia barely managed to escape with her life, though the necrotic magic of the area left her heavily maimed, and too injured to make it far (and the cleric of the group already dead) she was forced to struggle back to town.

Since then Melodia has stayed in the guild, only taking on jobs for clearing rats and similar low level jobs, hoping for her chance to meet the monster that killed her companions.
