===== Personality =====

Initially introduced as inept, Jeremy over time grows somewhat more capable and confident, eventually fighting nobly for [[nalos|Nalos]] in the final battle at [[brizoor_waal|Brizoor Waal]].

Lady Dorothea Duntum, Jeremy's mother, knows him best;

>//Jeremy is half as clever as his sister but twice as confident. [[annabelle_duntum|Annabelle]] has a sharp mind but a soft heart. She agrees with everything Jeremy says, no matter how ridiculous. I fear he will not be wise enough to rule, and she does not have the will or the discipline. But one of them must sit on the throne in [[castle_carleval|Carleval]] when their father and I are gone.// - Lady Dorothea Duntum, Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest (RPA-ADV7)

After being restored to [[human|Human]] form, it does not take long for the sibling rivalry between [[annabelle_duntum|Annabelle Duntum]]and Jeremy to return;

>//[[annabelle_duntum|Annabelle]] and Jeremy are inseparable at first, each singing each other’s praises, desperate to spend every waking moment with the other.//

>//Before too long, however, you notice signs of an old sibling rivalry resurfacing. Though the youngest, [[annabelle_duntum|Annabelle]] is better at just about everything, and Jeremy grows irritated and resentful. The rest of the[[Duntum family| Duntum family]] take sides, whispering gossip about one sibling into the other’s ear.// - Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest (RPA-ADV7)

>//Jeremy was a bit of a clutz and a wayward son, but he loved his family and went to great lengths in an effort to find and restore his sister, [[annabelle_duntum|Annabelle]], who was lost to a cruel curse.// - Gate of Brizoor Waal (RPA-ADVF)

==== Taron's Trophy (RPA-ADV2) ====


Appearing first in [[jolev|Jolev]] as a disheveled [[human|Human]] in a hanging cage, captured for allegedly stealing a [[annabelle_duntum|prize pig with a notable spot shaped like a swan]], Jeremy pleads for his freedom:

>//“Get me out of here,” he cries. “It wasn't me! I swear!” He shows you a few gold coins he’s somehow managed to keep with him. “Look,” he says, “they’re all yours if you let me out.”// - Tome of Encounters (RPA-ADV2)

  * Free him, and he will pay you for your trouble, running off into the hills.
  * Leave him be and he will spit at you, later seen being taken to [[kulbak_prison|Kulbak Prison]] in a jailer's cart.

==== Outbreak in Undercity (RPA-ADV3) ====


If you released him in [[jolev|Jolev]], Jeremy is next found fending off a group of children with knives in hand in [[undercity|Undercity]], his finger caught in a trap box.

  * Move to scare the children away:
      * If you succeed, they scamper off.
      * If you fail, they take Jeremy with them.
  * Attempt to remove the box:
      * If you succeed, they scamper off.
      * If you fail, they chase Jeremy away.

==== Crack in Kulbak (RPA-ADV5) ====

If you allowed him to be taken away in [[jolev|Jolev]], Jeremy is next found within [[kulbak_prison|Kulbak Prison]] playing a game of dice with Finchy and some of the other inmates.

If you offer his next ante he will walk away with more than 100 gold;

>//“Maybe I'll melt it down and make myself a golden suit of armor.” Lord Duntum laughs. None of the other prisoners appear amused.// - Tome of Encounters (RPA-ADV5)

==== Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest (RPA-ADV7) ====


Encountered again at an encampment set up by the [[abandoned_watchtower|Abandoned Watchtower]], Jeremy and his cousin [[emilia_duntum|Lady Emilia]] attempt to bring his sister back to her human form and reclaim [[castle_carleval|Castle Carleval]] in the [[forgotten_forest|Forgotten Forest]] from the [[satyr|Satyrs]].

  * If your previous run-ins with Jeremy were negative, he will engage you in combat:
      * Overpower them, and they abandon their camp, running off into the [[forgotten_forest|forest]]. You find a worn parchment.
      * Be overpowered, and you are saved when a [[ghost-eater|Ghost-Eater]] startles the camp away. You run off into the [[forgotten_forest|forest]] with a worn parchment in hand.
  * If your previous run-ins with Jeremy were positive, he will try to assuage his wary cousin on your behalf.
      * Succeed, and convince Lady Emilia of your usefulness.
      * Fail, and [[emilia_duntum|Lady Emilia]] descends an attack upon you:
          * Overpower them, and they abandon their camp, running off into the forest. You find some worn parchment.
          * Be overpowered, but escape when a [[ghost-eater|Ghost-Eater]] startles the camp away. You run off into the [[forgotten_forest|forest]] with a worn parchment in hand.
      * Steal Jeremy's bag and the contents therein:
          * Succeed, and lose them in the [[forgotten_forest|forest]].
          * Fail, and engage the camp's forces in combat:
              * Overpower them, and they abandon their camp, running off into the forest. You find some worn parchment.
              * Be overpowered, but escape when a [[ghost-eater|Ghost-Eater]] startles the camp away. You run off into the [[forgotten_forest|forest]] with a worn parchment in hand.

Returning to the [[abandoned_watchtower|Abandoned Watchtower]], if you are still in good graces with Jeremy and [[emilia_duntum|Emilia]] and bring the [[annabelle_duntum|pig]] from the [[underwater_caverns|Underwater Caverns]] to them:

  * Attempt to return [[annabelle_duntum|Annabelle]] to [[human|Human]] form and succeed:
      * The siblings will be reunited.
  * Assist and fail and [[annabelle_duntum|Annabelle]] grows to a half-[[human|Human]], half-animal hybrid, running away into the [[forgotten_forest|forest]].

At [[castle_carleval|Castle Carleval]], if you helped the [[Duntum family|Duntums]] reach [[castle_carleval|Carleval]], they will come to your aid fighting the ghostly enemies that ambush you and [[taron|King Taron]];

If you helped neither the Duntums nor the [[satyr|Satyr]] reach the [[castle_carleval|castle]], then you fight alone:

  * Swiftly defeat the opposition:
      * You have the chance to forge a new peace with the [[satyr|Satyr]].
          * If you are able to broker a peace between the [[Duntum family|Duntums]] and the [[satyr|Satyrs]], the two will coexist for the next one thousand years.
      * If you fought by yourself, you keep [[castle_carleval|Castle Carleval]] to yourself.
  * Fail:
      * If you fought the Ghost-Eaters, the rift grows too large and [[castle_carleval|Castle Carleval]] implodes.
      * If you fought the ghosts, [[castle_carleval|Castle Carleval]] is lost to the [[forgotten_forest|Forgotten Forest]] forever.

In reading the diary of his mother [[Dorothea Duntum|Dorothea]], it is revealed how Jeremy found himself in [[jolev|Jolev]]:

>//I have asked my son, Jeremy, to take his sister to the [[halfling|Halfling]] town of [[jolev|Jolev]]. Several years ago, a witch’s curse turned [[annabelle_duntum|Annabelle]] into a pig. She still bears the swan-shaped mark she was born with, but she is otherwise unrecognizable as my daughter. [[jolev|Jolev]] is rumored to be home to a powerful healer. I pray to [[azema|Azema]] that they can help her.// - [[Dorothea Duntum|Lady Dorothea Duntum]], Ghost-Eaters of the Forgotten Forest (RPA-ADV7)

==== Gate of Brizoor Waal (RPA-ADVF) ====


Jeremy fights with floating, multicolor spheres against the [[ogre|Ogre]] [[tog|Tog]] and the [[halfling|Halfling]] [[rose|Rose]] within a vault in [[mikto|Mikto, Plane of Secrets]]:

  * If you side with the [[king_s_guard|King's Guard]], you will fight alongside him:
      * If you defeat the opposition and are favored by the [[human|Human]], he will greet you warmly. You claim the site, and find a green rune.
      * If you defeat the opposition and are disfavored by the [[human|Human]], you will be subjected to his ingratitude and claim the site, finding a green rune.
      * If you fall to the opposition, you stumble through a rift back to [[elsifor_s_tent|Elsifor's Ten]]t at [[brizoor_waal|Brizoor Waal]] in defeat.

>//Jeremy Duntum stands atop a glass case, surrounded by several floating, multicolored spheres. He lets out his battle cry and slips from the case, falling to the floor.//

>//“Defend me!” he shouts, and the spheres light up, encircling him with flashing multi-colored light.// - Gate of Brizoor Waal (RPA-ADVF)
