Dramatis Personae: OSE Campaign
Our Heroes
Jessamine Febland: Lawful Cleric. A reckless, redheaded tornado, Jessamine is a cleric on the run. She joined the Church of the Healing Goddess in an attempt to flee retribution for unpaid gambling debts. Her experience has left her as paranoid as she is faithful. She has distinctive frosty blue eyes and a smattering of freckles across her cheeks.
Oglum Hardwick: Lawful Fighter. Former houndmaster to a wealthy nobleman, Oglum had a happy, if solitary life before being accused of murder. When the nobleman's son disappeared, Oglum fell under suspicion, his only alibi a pack of dogs. Seeing the writing on the wall, Oglum stole a sword and shield along with some chainmail from the barracks and fled. He has wild, greasy hair and a drooping mustache.
Fitzhugh Gruewater: Lawful Magic-User. A former member of the respected Royal Cartographer's Guild. When the guild discovered a magical map to the legendary City of the Dead, Fitzhugh was one of the few guildmembers adamant that such an artifact should be destroyed rather than exploited. In a last ditch effort to stop the guild's clamoring for power and immortality, Fitzhugh attempted to destroy the map, but its magic protected it. Failing to destroy the map, he stole it, devoting himself to the arcane arts in order to find a way to end the madness once and for all. He wears his hair in a loose afro and keeps a close cropped beard with grey creeping in. He appears older than he is.
The Scene
Our protagonists met in the treacherous mountain pass, the only way to the city of Uorek passable without booking fair on a sailing ship. The pass in known as Hangman's Noose because of its reputation for being the last hope of criminals. In Uorek Jessamine hopes to find solace and safety with her Order, Oglum seeks a chance to disappear into the streets, and Fitzhugh wants to join the famous Magician's Academy. But all is not peaceful in Uorek, and simply getting there through the mountain pass, the Ancient Forest, and the many rivers criss-crossing the valley might prove their doom.
