PSEPHA - Human priest. A very charismatic character, not well favoured by the gods, but a useful leader for S.S.. His favourite weapon is the
Heavy Crossbow, for which he has a skill of 100 (ACE)
MORT - Human Fighter. Highly skilled with his favourite weapon, the Flail
CUTWELL - Elf Fighter. Simply a master with his +3 Magic Sword
RICEWIND - Elf Mage. Has a cousin that has been immortalised by the great
author Terry Pratchett . Unlike his cousin his spells are both powerful
and effective.
CAT ROASTER - Halfblood Thief. There's always something for this chap to
spot, and if it's not nailed down, then it will very quickly be added to
his list of posessions.
CHALESTRIM - Elf Mage. Although not as skilled as the others Chalestrim is
proving to be a willing learner. At his rate of improvment he will soon be
able to cast the same devastating spells as the others.
WIPHROS - Human Priest . Another priest currently out of favour with the
gods. However his great skill is in talking the others in the group into
not kicking him out. He also begs the gods for food, and in this
respect is always rewarded.
GRANITE - Dwarf Fighter. Some say he was not born, but carved from the
rock of his home. This fighter fears no one or nothing on the island of
Kharne. His toughness is renouned, as is his skill with his +1 Axe.
QUARZT - Dwarf Fighter. Another whose feats of Axe Twirling have made the
renouned 'Dwarf Tossers' of Kharne shake in their boots.
IGNEUS - Elf Mage. The third of the mages in the party, his ability to
cast fire makes him the ideal companion on those cold winter nights.
However take care not to stray too close. He used to have a pet Anklet
until one sad night when it cuddled up to him inside his armour.
Still it made a nice breakfast (ready cooked).
MARLEB - Dwarf Fighter. The last of the dwarven fighters recruited.
Marleb was tempted to join with us after receiving copious amounts of gold
and a new suit of +3 Armour. His recruitment has been proved worthwhile as
to date he has most kills to his name . Hey it's early days yet.
MISTWEAVER - Elf Mage. Not very tough, not very skilled, runs from a fight
(could be a member of the Fluffy Bunny Cult ?) Mistweaver is the groups
entertainer. You'd keep him if you saw what he pulls out of his hat!
The battle having been faught and won with no serious casualties the companions moved on their next target, three Giant Apes, residing in the nearby mountains. Upon ariiving at the site they found their quarry gone, but there were six of their kind just waiting to be slaughtered. It was a quick decisive confrontation with the Mages doing their job with four succesful Black Voids (to go with the one used earlier to rid Kharne of Charmicael). The other two apes were quickly dispatched by the fighters and we collected 145 gold pieces from the dead. From here it was on to the nearest Town, Grive(27) where we spent the night indulging in Drnk(603), and where Igneus lost 1,000 gold playing Poker(sob !).
