Background & Description:
Face kissed by a mace,
The former handsome guy
Looks for profit with sword.
Dark, damp places preferred.

Of course, he's misguided here. It was a cleric in full plate that "kissed him with a mace". That's also why he wears a warhammer, known as an anti-armour weapon, instead of a sword.
Fighting Style: Cautious, opportunistic, preferring defence to offence and exploiting the opponent's actions. Uses reach weapons to break charges, javelins if the enemy doesn't charge, he himself charges only a surprised enemy, fights in a shield wall against crowds, and kills off weaker enemies first.

Ganch of Pine

Class: Fighting Man
Alignment: Neutral Good
Attributes:

• Strength: 11
• Intelligence: 10
• Wisdom: 7
• Constitution: 11
• Dexterity: 15
• Charisma: 12

AC: 5 (+1 chain and shield) HP: 6/7
Level: 2 Total: 3536 +23 Needed: 464
Languages Common, Goblin
Equipment: Encumbrance Total: 502 cn

4. Treasure & Coinage: Eight 100 GP gems, One 50 GP gem, One 20 GP gem, 42 gold coins

Background & Description: Proficient with bows even from an early age, Ganch spent a few years in the militia of his hometown before setting out to make a name for himself. With mercy and charity high on his list of priorities, Ganch is often outraged at any apparent abuse of the weak or meager, and seeks to increase the lot of the powerless as often as possible. His long-term goals include establishing an economic reputation and repaying a little-spoken of debt to his hometown, one which Ganch feels personally liable for.
Fighting Style: Ganch is not the largest nor the hardiest of fighters, but he is among the faster of the team. Preferring his missiles thrown instead of fired where possible, Ganch nonetheless carries a bow, and will often loose a spear or some projectile at the start of combat, then eagerly join the front lines, where he trusts his plate to protect him long enough to deal precise, balanced strikes to an opponent. If possible, Ganch would engage in some form of wrestling or trip- and feint-oriented form of combat, but wearing heavy mail and traveling with a very large contingent of party members often restricts his options in battle.

Gworg the Unwise

Class: Fighting Man
Alignment: Neutral

4. Treasure & Coinage: 37 gp

Background & Description: Gworg is an upland savage from the Two-Step Tribe, pallid headhunters who dwell in the teeming jungles surrounding several ruined cities of the ancients. Gworg unwisely engaged in an axe-catching contest which resulted in the death of the shaman's son. For this deed, his face was mutilated and he was exiled. Heartbroken because he can never return to his people, Gworg lives for little now save the dance of flashing swords and the fleeting pleasures that gold can bring.

Fighting Style: Gworg's approach to combat tends to be straightforward. He rarely uses his bow and prefers to close to melee as soon as possible. He alternates between showy, courageous attacks and vicious, underhanded tactics designed to slay his opponents as quickly as possible. When in the dungeon, Gworg is fond of weaponizing lamp oil. Gworg favors killing opponents who will bring him the most personal glory & esteem in the eyes of his compatriots. He generally ignores his comrades during combat, but will go out of his way to protect magic-users, for instance by holding a shield over wounded wizards.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself near death amid the smoking, desecrated ruins of the priory. She alone survived, and barely. Of the night before, she remembered only fragments, colored by their foul magicks and mind-altering poisons. She dragged herself to the village, where a hedge witch nursed her back to health. Without a home, friends, or an occupation for the first time in her life, Megara set out from the village four months ago to seek fortune and adventure elsewhere. Description: Slightly above average height, athletic build, short brown hair, green eyes.
Fighting Style: Missile weapons first, then the mace. She's not able to heal anyone yet, so she does the best she can to contribute to doing damage.

Unaccrued XP

Here, keep track of the total amount of XP gained from slaying monsters on an adventure. Each time monsters are defeated, the referee will give an amount of XP equal to the value of the monsters divided by the number of PCs in the party. That amount shall be recorded here. When the PCs once more reach the safety of a town, each character will add that amount to the GP value of treasure they receive, and apply their prime requisite bonus, if any. That amount of XP will then be added to their sheet.

XP now assigned. Awaiting new additions here.

• The beastman assault in Edible Fungus: 200.

3rd trip to Renf's Tomb: Owlbear & Minotaur. 1907 for everyone, except (Megara & Esme: 752 XP, Paulus & Frederik: 1374).

New rule goes into effect: no splitting party exp & gold any way other than equal shares. (10-17-10)
