We're getting through it faster than I thought, they just finished taking the lighthouse and opening the gate! We'll start with the defense of the tower next time; but I'm going to have to think up a few encounters to stretch it out!Dramatis Personae:Doctor Jacob Smith (Male Half-Elf Synthesist Summoner 1): A middle aged Engineer, Doctor Jacob Smith used to be something of a recluse; as he worked on his inventions, until he was badly injured during a train robbery and derailment. After recovering most of the use of his legs (he now walks with the aid of a cane), he turned to the arcane arts to regain his youth; and discovered the means of bonding a creature to his physical form; vast increasing his strength and stamina. He joined the RHC in hopes of stopping crimes like the one that crippled him.Kellinos (Male High Elf Wizard 1): Born to one of the few free high elf woman in a Vekesh Enclave, Kellinos was exceptionally intelligent and easily mastered the arcane arts and took the teachings of Vekesh to heart. However, he also felt that an alliance with humanity was the best hope for the High Elven people; something many in his enclave disagreed with. They hoped the rituals would change his mind; but after enduring the pain and horrors in the dreaming; he was still convinced; and left for Risur; hoping to prove that his people and humans could work together.Lady Adoraa (Female Human Gunslinger 1): Adoraa was the only child of a noble family; and thrust into lessons of etiquette and manners and the skills a proper lady should learn from an early age. Naturally, she hated it; and preferred to spend her days in her father's studying; reading his books on firearms. Eventually; after she was injured by bullies at her academy, her father (a prominent member of the RHC), relented, and allowed her to undergo training in firearms and combat and to apply to the RHC.Bonk (Male Half-Orc Barbarian 1): An adopted member of a clan of Orcs in Ber; Bonk learned how to use the warhammer and Klar from a young age; to compensate for his somewhat lessened strength as compared to his Orcish brothers. When the last Yerasol war happened; Bonk and his clan stood with Risur, but many of them perished during fighting on and around Axis island. Bonk was the only survivor; and has spent the past seven years as a war hero in Flint, under the guidance of Adoraa.Dorian Lowe (Male Aasimar Druid 1): An ancient Aasimar, Dorian witnessed the Great Malice in person; and was gifted (or cursed) with immortality. He's served Risur for a very long time now, living in Flint for several incarnations (he's even on a first name basis with Governor Standfield); and was part of the RHC in his previous life; until he was shot by Danorish guns smugglers off the coast of Flint. He has a lion companion, Pangor Ban, that accompanies him wherever he goes.Sebastian of the North Avery Coast (Male Human Cleric 1): Growing up on the North Avery Coast; Sebastian had the tenets off the Old Faith, community, service, respect for all living things firmly ingrained in him from a young age. And then his father sent him off to war at the age of sixteen; following the family tradition of military service. Armed only with the family longbow and quarterstaff, the war scarred him deeply; and he turned to his faith for answer.Junior Detective Marcus Holmes (Male Human Rogue 1): A skilled investigator and spirit medium, Marcus serves the RHC as a specialist in both investigations and unarmed fighting; preferring to bring in enemies of the state alive for interrogation and imprisonment.Varlet De La Grange (Male Human Rogue 1): A young man from a rich family, Varlet grew up full of contradictions. He acted as if he wasn't part of his family; learned how to sneak, pick locks, steal and fight. He was constantly getting in trouble in his father's manor; for trying to take jewellery and other items. During the last Yerasol War, out of a burning curiosity to find out what war was really like; he wound up on a major battlefield between Danorish and Risuri forces; and through a sequence of events, wound up the last living man on the battlefield; with the relief forces under the impression that he'd managed to kill the enemy commander; cementing his status as a war hero.</blockquote>
