It's that time of year again when the citizens of Waterdeep come together to celebrate Ahghairon - the first Open Lord of Waterdeep. But this year the Champions don't have time to join in the festivities. The current Open Lord of Waterdeep has an important mission for them, and when Laeral Silverhand calls - the Champions will [i]always[/i] answer! [i]Ahghairon's Day 7[/i] has arrived and we're doing things a little differently this time around! Today, you can unlock a reworked [b]Rust on the Harbour[/b], the Tabaxi Rogue from the Oxventurers, played by Johnny Chiodini. Then, next week on August 14th, you'll be able to unlock a reworked [b]Ellywick Tumblestrum[/b], the Gnome (greatest) Bard (in the multiverse), from [i]Wild Beyond and Witchlight[/i] and Magic: The Gathering. Both of these Champions received updates to their mechanics to better fit your formations. You can learn more about Rust in his Champions Spotlight linked below and Ellywick's Champion Spotlight that will go live this Friday, August 9th.

His deadly skills are in contrast to his sweet nature and short attention span, and he enjoys seeing others succeed even if they are supposed to be antagonists. Now trying life as an adventurer on land, he'll lend his roguish skills to anyone who can give him that which his heart desires most: one gold piece.[/i][/list] Rust is a Support and Gold Find Champion whose excitement to find coin helps the rest of the formation increase their gold find. When you need his assistance in the formation, he'll be counting his coin in seat 11 opposite Jamilah. We are fortunate to get to work with a huge variety of liveplay D&D series, but it's a rare treat to be able to include the Dungeon Master as one of the Content Creators who bring a Champion to our game. So we're very happy that this Champion from [url=https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoid6oOAGqMcZ3YWFqABFXbx9l5edm6XK]the Oxventure crew[/url] from Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra comes from DM [url=https://twitter.com/johnneh]Johnny Chiodini[/url]! They created Rust as their character for a Saltmarsh campaign, and brought the supportive tabaxi in as an NPC for Oxventure to enjoy. Along with their impressive DM skills, Johnny has made content for Eurogamer, GameSpot, and Dicebreaker, and currently creates videos about tabletop and video games for their [url=https://www.patreon.com/johnnychiodini]Patreon[/url].

Her magnificent music has dazzled beings across many planes, including royalty from the Feywild. The Summer Queen and the Queen of Air and Darkness were so moved by her performance that they gifted the bard her exquisite instrument, the beautiful lute Morningmist. She tells tales of her amazing adventures at the Witchlight Carnival, aided by her frog companion Groak.[/i][/list] Ellywick is a Support, Gold Find, and Healing Champion who uses the Deck of Many Things to augment her abilities. When you want her bardic skills to inspire your formation, she can be swapped out with Tyril in seat 10.
