Follow the link for <a href="http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30161" target="_blank">Part I</a> (and here is the <a href="http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/news/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=302" target="_blank">PDF of the narrative-only</a>), in which our heroes get their start, or read on for their current stories. The character sheets can be found in the <a href="http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34223" target="_blank">Rogues Gallery thread</a> along with heavy mechanics/crunch questions. Finally, here is <a href="http://seasong.home.texas.net/sh/index.html" target="_blank">the Theralis website</a> (updated far less frequently than this thread will be), with the house rules, info on the gods, etc.In brief summary:Our heroes, Athan, Greppa and Merideth, are citizens and former soldiers of the city-state Theralis. A frontier nation, Theralis is slowly getting embroiled in a bitter battle for its own lands against orcs invading from the east. The major battles have been occurring in the summer, the primary orc migration period, and although Theralis has done well against the outer tribes, the city-state is beginning to falter against the older and tougher tribes now making their way into the valley region.As we start, the PCs are on a self-imposed mission to rescue roughly a thousand slaves (former citizens of Theralis) from the Uhkamah tribe, or at least those who are still alive now, two years after their capture.For more details, see Part I!Our heroes:Athan of Little Lake: Physically ideal, Athan is a powerfully built young man of 18 years, with close-cut blond hair and cornflower blue eyes. He bears a birthmark in the shape of Allas on his left shoulder, a triangle scar on the right, and three thin scar stripes from the top of each shoulder to his thighs. His face is handsome, if unassuming, and many people tend to assume he's a bit slow. He wears an ankle-length tunic and rich coat, and a white silk cloak clasped with the symbol of Allas. He carries a brace of throwing spears slung on his back, and a slightly heavier spear of incredible quality in his hands. He moves with the easy grace of a career soldier, and speaks Taest and Orc fluently.Greppa of Tartwater: A fragile-looking ellini barely topping five feet, Greppa looks to be sixteen years of age, but in truth he is an arcanist of professional calibre, already the equal of many arcanists twice his age. He has caramel skin, auburn hair, and dark, intense eyes. He bears the same birthmark as Athan, but placed on his upper right chest, just below the collarbone. He is dressed in a dark, ankle-length tunic, a finely stitched coat, and a white silk cloak. He bears no weapons save a knife.Merideth of Southbottom: A slender, pale woman with short, black hair and wide, dark eyes, Merideth has blossomed into a powerful and attractive mindworker whose servant background is rarely suspected. She bears the same birthmark as the other two, but on her left calf. Merideth wears a practical knee-length tunic and coat, both dark brown, and the white silk cloak and clasp of Allas. She carries a single spear, of the same make as Athan's throwing spears.</blockquote>
