The Ruins <strong>of</strong> Achelos<br />

They are waiting for Morur to provide <strong>the</strong>m<br />

an escort. They can be hired by o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

parties in <strong>the</strong> meanwhile, but <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

contract with Morur is such that 90% <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> rights to any mining site discovered<br />

will go to <strong>the</strong> Goldsmiths’ Guild.<br />

Sandor Ladic (T5/Greater Wererat 1, C),<br />

Marcus Coponius (T5, N), Meg<br />

Trencherman (H4, L) and Eleriel (E4, N)<br />

are all adventurers looking for parties<br />

willing to hire <strong>the</strong>m as specialists, or fellow<br />

adventurers willing to form an adventuring<br />

company. Sandor is actually a wererat,<br />

though he presents himself as an<br />

“underground exploration specialist”. He is<br />

truly an adventurer, he just discounts his<br />

lycanthropy as a minor hindrance and is<br />

unscrupulous enough to avoid mentioning<br />

it. Marcus is a Karameikan <strong>of</strong> Thyatian<br />

origins. His previous adventuring company<br />

floundered with <strong>the</strong> death <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir leader, a<br />

Knight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Griffon, who was killed by an<br />

Owlbear in <strong>the</strong> Dymrak forest. Marcus is as<br />

reliable as Thieves go, but has developed a<br />

phobia for Owlbears. Meg comes from <strong>the</strong><br />

Five Shires. Like many Hin, she downplays<br />

her experience and will relate anything she<br />

gets to know to <strong>the</strong> Krondar as soon as<br />

she is back in <strong>the</strong> Shires. Eleriel is a<br />

beautiful elf maiden from <strong>the</strong> Callarii clan.<br />

She has remarkable horsemanship skills,<br />

and knows well <strong>the</strong> area between <strong>the</strong><br />

course <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Piva river and <strong>the</strong> Radlebb<br />

Woods. She is curious about <strong>the</strong> new<br />

settlement, but will get bored soon unless<br />

opportunities for wilderness adventure<br />

arise.<br />

Arkady Ivanov (C4, N) is a wandering<br />

Priest <strong>of</strong> Zirchev, loosely associated with<br />

<strong>the</strong> Church <strong>of</strong> Traladara. He is interested in<br />

joining an adventuring party for <strong>the</strong><br />

opportunity to explore <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cruth</strong> <strong>Lowlands</strong>,<br />

though he will not fight against fairies and<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r opponents that could be negotiated<br />

with. He is an expert ranger, with <strong>the</strong><br />

Tracking, Alertness, Survival (Forest) and<br />

Survival (Hills) skills.<br />

Basco Trius (MU7, C) is a Sons <strong>of</strong> Night<br />

Darker, posing as an adventuring Magic<br />

User from Thyatis City. His alias is <strong>the</strong><br />

anagram <strong>of</strong> “Obscuritas” (Darkness).<br />

Basco is very careful about hiding his<br />

affiliation, but he may sometimes let his<br />

cover slip by referring to anagrams or<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r word-plays. His mission is to observe<br />

<strong>the</strong> progress <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nova Achelos effort,<br />

analyze its pivotal figures, and relate all<br />

information to Grand Darker Anna Exoter.<br />

However, Basco, like all members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
