T HE R EPUTE FOR AN A VATAR WILL GIVE THE READER A FAIR IDEA OF HOW LONG THE CHARACTER WA S

PLAYED BEFORE BECOMING INVOLVED IN THIS SAGA . All participants listed in alphabetical order.

murder. The Dwarf and his family knew that he was innocent of such a horrid

accusation. Because a person is guilty until proven innocent under the laws of the

Principality of Oleniss, Orkrist was unable to provide enough proof of his alleged

wrongdoings.The Dwarf had his parents as an alibis, but this was not acceptable

to the judges. As punishment, Orkrist was exiled from his homeland. Now the

Dwarf will not rest until he seeks vengeance upon the person who set him up for

the false murder charge, thus bringing shame to him, his family and clan too.

When first exiled thus, the deity Amadan Mors appeared to Orkrist, offered him a

chance to gain renown and possibly restore his reputation by accepting an adven-

turing quest. That offer was accepted, so now the Dwarf is part of the band seek-

ing to find and free the hero bard MacGregtim.

MIKE JOHNSTON: Chahlor, the mighty Prince of the Iron Invoker clan of dwarfs.

He is a great mystical warrior, who left the Maledicted Plateau in the heart of the Banir

Wastes for a most noble quest. At the request of the academicians of Arajeray, he

has traveled far—to Ludnum, then on to Cimbernia, and from there all the way to

Varan’s North to help a great band of heroes in their hunt for the lost Daneen demigod

MacGregtim. He will need all of his prowess in battle as well as the magical arts to

help solve the mystery of what greater forces are responsible for that deity’s disap-

pearance. Chahlor is widely renowned in the Key of Sand area, and even beyond.

Repute on commencement of play in this module: 9.

DAVID PODESTA: Artimus, a swift and talented young rogue who hails from

the southern coasts of Hazgar. As the oldest son of the famed escape artist,

Magnus Ferratus, he learned his father’s art at an early age. He spent three years

in the King’s army as a soldier, where he honed his skills in combat. Once his duty

to the crown was fulfilled, Artimus traveled the continent offering his unique skills

(inanimate or otherwise), to whomever would pay. He now joins this band of

adventurers to seek fame and fortune—and wherever that may lead him...

JOHN SEIBEL: Deogolf, an Enchanter Order avatar formerly of Gothendland,

who had tired of cramped spaces, dusty tomes and scrolls, the smell of burning wax

while doing research and menial tasks for his superiors so had come to seek adven-

ture in Ludnum, decided to join a band of fine heroes to help the beautiful Lady

Rowina in the her quest for the lost demigod MacGregtim. He now wonders if this

was good idea after all…

PETER TROIA: Cephas Lengota, an Ecclesiastic Order Avatar hailing from the

island of Oaken, trusted his faith of Lodur above all else when joining the band of

heroes on their adventures. Cephas had always found solace in the paths that his

faith had steered him in. After experiencing but a few dangers down this path, he

knew he was being tested by Lodur. Cephas knew it would take all the willpower

and determination in his being to survive the dangers of “the Pipe.”

BILL WAGNER: Harold MacEwan, a member of the Rogue Order so an expert

impostor. While escaping a mob of angry villagers Harold fell into a sinkhole

leading to a hidden cave. He awoke to the pleading of a beautiful woman, “Find

my beloved MacGregtim, please.” In agreeing, he found himself joining a group of

adventuring heroes on this adventure.

KRISTY WAGNER: Rebecca, a minstrel formerly of Randsland Island, who

performed on her pan pipes all over the island, yet wanted more. So an older

gentleman told her to try to master his pipe. Now she has joined up with a band of

heroes in their search for the demigod MacGregtim. Perhaps she should have

listened to her mother after all....

BRAD BURKLOW: Tayvin MacDonough was born on a small island off the coast

of Hynall to a poor farming family. Tayvin’s future seemed quite simple, until a passing

Elementalist named Honrek the White journeyed through his village. Noticing Tayvin’s

slender build and curiosity for study, something that none of the other farmer’s sons

seemed to have, Honrek decided to take Tayvin with him to Barbacus’ School of

Elemental Education, a reputable college for aspiring Elementalists. Tayvin fit right in

when it came to studies and lectures; but, in order to graduate, the headmaster (the

ancient Barbacus himself) told him that he must first complete a journey of explora-

tion, into an unknown place, joining strange companions and complete a noble quest.

Tayvin, being young and more than a bit naive in regards the real world, accepted

these terms brashly and was sent forth into a strange dimension. Now he is lost in a

world that is full of danger and magic far beyond his wildest comprehension, battling

the odds in a constant struggle for survival he only dreams of returning successful to

Master Barbacus, proving that he has what it takes to be a true Geourge...

JEFF BURKLOW: Otto von Grunwald a huntsman of some renown for his skill with

weapons and sharp wit. Otto has wandered far from the deep wood that was his

home. Having left the forest as yeoman to his noble liege’s son, Rothgar, during

Rothgar’s adventures in countryside and the City of Ludnum, Otto has realized there

is more to life than the chasing of game and wandering dim forest trails. The game he

now seeks is wisdom and enlightenment in the course of finding and freeing the hero

bard deity MacGregtim. Years of experience shine out from behind his dark eyes

which are set in his well-tanned face framed by shoulder-length black hair. Compas-

sionate, thoughtful, and fiercely loyal to his companions, Otto wields his magical staff

swiftly and crossbow with deadly accuracy if the situation calls for weapon play. Re-

pute on commencement of play in this module: 5.

ERIC CLAPSADDLE: Vendar, a stout soldier who grew up in the hamlet of Burrflint,

which is little more than a wide spot near the intersection of two major roads. He

worked in his parents’ tavern serving customer and stabling horses. He yearned for

adventure and travel and would listen to all of the stories, no matter how outrageous,

that the travelers told when they were enjoying a mug of his father’s fine ale. When he

was 15 years old he ran away from his parents and enlisted in a free company of

mercenaries. Finding that much routine duty and little excitement was to be had in a

mercenary band, Vendar left to find more exciting employment as a soldier of fortune,

came across a strange fellow who offered him the adventure of a lifetime, and in

accepting the challenge found himself in a closed mini-cosmos with a party of would-

be heroes seeking to find and free a captive demi-god.

ALEX GYGAX: Xagnar, a roguish hero indeed, who with others gained the highest

of all renown in the Banir Wastes and atop the mysterious Maledicted Plateau therein,

also went from the Town of Arajeray at the behest of the Adepts there to serve as a

hero in the band that is aiding the Lady Rowina in discovering where the hero-bard,

now a member of the Tuatha da Danaan, might be imprisoned. Having dealt with

demons, devils, and drakes, he believes this new mission is suited to his vast capac-

ity for overcoming foes. Repute on commencement of play in this module: 10.

LUKE GYGAX: Sir Hrolfgar von Grosschweinkopfstein, a tall and powerfully built

young knight from the lands of the Teonoric Knights in Varan, hero of the many

actions in the area of the Village of Taen, and other places in the Waldgraf Siegfried’s

lands, is in the forefront of the party. Hrolfgar disdains missile weapons and will only

engage his foes in hand-to-hand combat. For these contests he prefers a large falchion

or his two-handed sword. Hrolfgar has earned much renown by defeating a savage

cephalahorn giant, countless bestials and like subterranean monsters, and the dreaded

bandits that infested the waldgraf’s lands. Sir Hrolfgar is the third son of a minor noble

and was forced to seek his own fortune in life. After cleansing the caves near Taen of

the evil beasts that lurked there; Hrolfgar is financially well off. But he is driven to find

the answer to the mystery of the magical artifacts found in the caves. To that end he is

currently assisting the Lady Rowina to rescue the bard made a demigod, MacGregtim.

Repute on commencement of play in this module: 7.

BILL JOHNSON: Orkrist was a member of the Kilkarak Castle Guard where he

spent many seasons as a regular soldier. Being a good trooper, he was asked to

join the marshal’s private bodyguard, and thereafter Orcrist spent many more sea-

sons under the scrutinizing eye of that royal officer. One day thereafter when re-

turning from leave a when he visited his aged parents, Orkrist was accused of

BERKA “LOVIE” TAMROC, a surprisingly attractive (one of her Knacks, Sex

Appeal) Veshoge female is accompanying the team. She is a native of Apphir,

came upon the team in the city of Ludnum where she was a successful broker for

various “used” goods. She has a winning personality and friendly manner that

somehow makes Lovie a favorite with most people she meets and wishes to im-

press. She decided to accompany the heroic band when it was clear that they

needed advice in regards commerce and management of assets. Her aim (Quirk,

Humanophilia) is to become wealthy, return to her home in the Apphirian shores of

the Middle Seas with a handsome human as her husband. Repute on commence-

ment of play in this module: 1. (Gary Gygax filling in with a sort of NAC)
