allowing time for the ground troops to effectively close.Captains Jibran and Utu human FTR 2/ PAL2The acting captains of the company typically split shifts assigning watches and issuing general orders.  Jibran is a cousin of the disgraced Gallowglass family and has found the righteous path as a way to restore his family’s good name.  Utu is an escaped Chultan slave and former adventurer who took up the good fight to help those who could not help themselves.  ‘Quick and Nimble’ halfling RGR 4These twins and native Tethans are the scout masters of the force and have help from an additional (2) 2nd level human rangers.  They are archery specialists and masters of moving quickly and quietly in the wilds.  They also tend to be a bit mischevious and can sometimes be a distraction if kept cooped up too long. Jarous Thome human EXP 2 – ProvisionerJarous is an ex-merchant and caravaneer who handles the mundane affairs of keeping a small army equipped, well fed, and on the move.  He leads a staff of 30 (level 1) craftsmen and commoners, some of which include: cooks, bakers, armorsmiths, blacksmiths, groomsmen, stablehands, hunters, shepherds, teamsters, coopers, cobblers, leatherworkers, carpenters, and wainwrights.The remainder of the force is broken down as follows:(60) Heavy Footman FTR 1, (6) Corporals FTR 2, (3) Sergeants FTR 3, (5) CLR 1(20) Heavy Cavalry FTR 1, (2) Lancers FTR 2, (1) High Lance FTR 3, (1) CLR 3(20) Longbowmen FTR 1, (2) Flight Leader FTR 2, (1) Flight Cmdr.
