Kella Darkhope

Kella Darkhope is a human who the party encountered holed up in the Inn in Nightstone

Kella says she'd like to head on to Daggerford, as one of her associates works for the merchant's guild there, the Sword Coast Trader's Bank. She says that they accept deposits from merchants and allow them to receive these deposits in other established branches around Faerûn. She mentions that nobody knows where the gold is actually stored, and it is speculated that it is kept in pocket dimensions.

Kella also mentions that she has a friend Xolkin who can escort her, and that he's on the way, and that the flying snake is named Smitty, and is a messenger from Xolkin. Given the option to stay or come with the party, she offers to wait in the inn and keep a lookout from the windows.

After the battle with the Orcs and the death of Stats, Xolkin agrees to send Kella on to Daggerford to continue her business there as well as try to find some help for Stats.
