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 />
