Biography
Tormack's Trap
Rava first appears being chased by the Gurzas. Galtar finds her and, with help from Goleeta and Zorn, rescues her, and they soon start to bond, much to Goleeta's jealousy. Unbeknownst to them, however, Rava is Tormack's niece, and the Gurza ambush was set up to lead the heroes into a trap. Rak and Tuk overhear this and tell Goleeta, who then tells it to Galtar. However, Galtar simply brushes it off as jealousy.
Rava leads Galtar, Goleeta, and Zorn into a trap set by Tormack, but when Tormack reveals his plan to kill Galtar, Rava is horrified. She goes to Rak and Tuk and enlists their help in freeing Galtar, Goleeta, and Zorn and helping them get the Golden Lance back. As compensation, she gives her armband to Goleeta, enabling her to summon Raven's Claw.
Love of Evil
Rava is drugged by Krimm to fall in love with Yogoth, the lord of the Slorgs. Yogoth turns Rava into a servant for him and his sister, Agleta, and feeds her more of the potion when it starts wearing off. Galtar, Goleeta, Zorn, Rak, and Tuk disguise themselves as beauty peddlers to rescue Rava. They eventually succed in their quest when the potion starts wearing off.
Yogoth, enraged, tries to drown Galtar and Zorn, and when they escape, he tries to simply kill them with the Golden Lance. Fortunately, Rava pretends to still be in a trance, whereupon Yogoth gives her the Golden Lance, only for her to immediately destroy his bath with it, whereupon he dries up.
The Return of Rava
Rava returns to usurp control of Bandisar from her uncle. She disguises herself as a Gurza and captures Rak and Tuk, whom she paid to masquerade as her. Tormack sends her to trap Galtar and steal the Golden Lance, and she agrees on the condition that she becomes a princess.
Rava meets Galtar, Goleeta, and Zorn after the dwarves fall into a trap set by Zorn. She tells them that she sent Rak and Tuk to tell them about the Golden Convoy and she is also after Tormack. Rava promises that upon becoming the ruler of Bandisar, she will give Goleeta the Sacred Shield. She tells a plan where Goleeta pretends to be a prisoner and finishes Tormack. Galtar feels ready to trust Rava, but Goleeta and Zorn are not.
Rava challenges Goleeta to a challenge to see who Galtar goes with. At Nightmare Bridge, they swing on vines, but Rak and Tuk cut Goleeta's vine, causing her to fall until Galtar savers her with the Golden Lance. Rava goes with Galtar and takes him to a cavern with other people who were overthrown by Tormack.
The group goes to the Valley of the Volcanoes to destroy Tormack's fire furnaces. When confrontred by Krimm, Rava explains that it is only to gain Galtar's trust so she can spring the trap. Meanwhile, Goleeta and Zorn, having caught on to Rava's treachery, wait at the entrance with Rak and Tuk. Rava's crew goes in and overthrows Tormack, but at Tormack's command, Rava steals the Golden Lance. However, she refuses to give it to her uncle and instead locks him in the dungeon.
Rava offers Galtar half of Bandisar if he will become her husband. Galtar refuses, prompting Rava to ask if it is because of Goleeta. When he does not answer, she gives him to her crew to do as they please. Goleeta, Zorn, Rak, and Tuk try to sneak into the castle disguised as gypsies, but a Gurza sees through their disguise, prompting them to run off. However, they end up locked in a dungeon with Tormack. Goleeta manages to get them out with her armlet so they can seek Galtar.
Goleeta and Zorn find the Golden Lance, only to themselves be found by Rava. Goleeta throws the Golden Lance to Zorn and then takes Rava on in combat. Zorn throws the Golden Lance to Galtar, who then uses it to defeat the last of Rava's crew. Galtar, Goleeta, and Zorn escape, while Rava is locked up alongside Rak and Tuk.
