Anth Pakahit 1/4 Lizardman. Big scar across his cheek (in honor of Scarface). He's the boss, lives in a mansion, tells obscene jokes, laughs big, always serious eyes. Bodyguards, pretty women around. Typical line: "If he doesn't open the gate for you then we'll rip the legs off his boy. Just kidding!" Demands his cut.

5

Steena Rosetender 1/4 dryad. Her Dryad features make her obsession with exotic plants seem natural. It is easy to ignore her introverted and dark composure - easy to ignore her entirely as she goes about her business in the garden courtyards of the wealthy. A strange sickness has been going around...

Davijd "mindtwister" vi Andern Age 21, a genius dropout of a prestigious magic school. He's not particularly gifted, unless we're talking about mind manipulation magic. Dave has the unique ability to alter the fragments of conscious thought in a radius of 30ft around him. Implanting, reading, altering or extracting memories is his business. Sentient entities without magical abilities don't notice his intrusion at all. The magically gifted can feel his mental touch and try to resist it. (Char or int check dc 15).

He does a lot of different jobs, mostly on a personal whim or if he gets sober enough to remember to fill up his purse again. He has no affiliation to any guild or country, no one has ever seen his real face. He always works alone. Because of his ridiculously overpowered ability, he has gotten smug and self-centered. His love of gambling is his biggest weakness, he can't resist the temptation of a good game. "Nobody ever caught me cheating", he would say innocently with a smirk on his face. From helping a random old lady, forgetting a traumatic event of the past, to stealing a nobleman's fortune who didn't want to pay the bill for Dave's work (the noble is a mindless vegetable now btw).

If his thirst for power and fame would be as strong as his love for gambling, women and wine, he could be one of the most dangerous people on the continent. He is travelling from city to city and will definitely be found in either a casino, tavern or brothel. He is a wanted man (because of the unfortunate state he left that noble in), some court magicians are currently searching for him and the money. When you have a problem where Dave could use his talents and is in the mood for work, he will approach you.

In the underground she is known as "the bloody mother". As she treats her little workers well, they are extremely loyal and would never go against her.

Balfour Jan A plain common thug. Not smart or calculating. No redeeming features. Just a string of mugging, theft, intimidation, extortion and random violence. Has a transient band of lesser thugs that he controls as much through intimidation as charisma and leadership. If things go wrong they will fade into the night faster than you can blink. Refused to be a henchman of some greater villain preferring his own big fish in a small pond lifestyle. You are as likely to be injured by him for sitting in the wrong tavern seat as for anything of value.

(The reality is he hates the taste of alcohol, and every bar in the city knows him and keeps his secret by serving him non-alcoholic drinks so he can pretend to be drinking with the gang)

44

"Randolph" frequently roots out a suitable victim ahem the evil perpetrator with incriminating evidence and detect evil spells.
