'''Throwing bonus:''' +3.<br /> Jhula has briefly reviewed '''numerous books of power'''.<br /> She's got in her mind<br /> 1. The Book of Bones and Flowers<br /> 2. cast-iron hinged cover with embossed man-figure. Pursuing Colossus<br /> 10. Silent Song of Choking Flowers.<br /> Stored in her house: ''Jhula grew up on the streets of Antali, a city on the coast over a hundred miles from Sargolis. Orphaned young by the last war, she fell in with the local Legitimate Businessperson's Mutually Agreeable Cooperative (a brutally run thieves' guild and crime syndicate also known as the Mackers). She graduated from petty larceny to head-cracking and enforcement, then finally organisation, strategy and problem-solving. She's one of the lieutenants of the First of the Mackers, who is gradually dying from the effects of the spices he's addicted to.''<br /> ''She has been sent to Sargolis in search of anything that might hold back the reaper, whether ancient healing alchemy or blasphemous necromantic tome. Privately, she's happy to be on the road and away from the pressures of her work.''<br /> ''Looking at Ricky's vacant bedroll, she felt guilt, something she hadn't felt in a long time. She resolved to see if she could put another team together in Sargolis and retrieve his body, perhaps even complete their mission?''<br /> ''After much danger, Jhula and her companions Saray and Munson found Ricky hanging up over a grim altar. They got him down, and he rejoined their group as a revenant seeking revenge on the archlich of the Deeps. Eventually that was achieved, and Ricky passed. Jhula, saray, and Munson then found Ostienne, the vampire God Queen of Sargolis, in a gravity-inverted boudoir atop a tower over the Deeps. They parlayed with her, and departed.''<br /> ''Jhula left the Deeps with some books of power, some of which she studied. Others were stolen from their camp. She summoned a Pursuing Colossus to retrieve her stolen property, and it led the group to a sorcerer's townhouse where they encountered the Song of Choking Flowers. Jhula entreated the sorcerer to return her books, and became acquainted. With the sorcerer's good will, the group tracked down the original thieves and punished them.''<br /> ''After settling matters in Sargolis, Saray became the motivator (if not the leader) of the group.'' === Saray: indebted lady knight === '''Stats:''' 10 of 10 Health, 9 Breath, 4 Brute, 1 Skulker.<br /> '''Gear:''' 1. backpack(a.

Sack (week's rations) '''4 out of 4''' Fresh Breath.<br /> '''Combat bonus:''' +5 with torch, +6 with shield.<br /> ''Saray is a knight of moderate age, skilled in battle and accustomed to comfort. She's the Lady of House Rannier, an estate south of Sargolis on the northern frontier of the southern city states. Recently rents have been short and her comfortable life (plus a gambling problem) has brought debt. She had planned to plunder the Deeps to get funds to get the lenders off her. Munson looked like a potential patsy, someone she could use and drop ... but she wanted a third to round out a crew. She had heard the Deeps were deadly. Now after plundering the Deeps under Jhula's leadership, Saray has returned to Naltis with her new crew to learn that her cousin has overtaken her indebted estates. Entering the city of Naltis in search of more information, and ingredients for Jhula's potion to cure her master's addiction, Saray get the troupe entangled with a coterie of vampires who want them to kill an elder vampire. After depositing some of the group's treasure into Saray's family vault, the group enters a catacomb through a floating blue portal, and wanders about for a while before eventually stumbling upon the Bloodless ("Master Sanger"), killing him, and discovering the unusually large young girl he has been guarding under Vivostasis for the past ninety years. It turns out the girl is the lost heiress of the royal line, and the Harsh Lady (who took over ruling in Naltis ninety years back) probably would like her to disappear.''<br /> Stored in Jhula's house: 1. Sack ( b. Book #1. pale grey leather binding with pink and purple flowers and skulls inlaid. The Book of Bones and Flowers, c. Book #3. silver-hinged cover of smoothly polished beech wood. The Ineluctable Movement of Volcanic Glasses, d. Packet of green spice) 2. Pillowcase sack (Book from Naltis #6-#8) 3. Sharpened gravedigger's spade 4. Sack (silver dagger x3, pamphlet #12, book from Naltis #5) 5. Pillowcase sack (gold, Book #8. faded red-pink cloth with oily stains. It's another copy of The Transcendent Beam of Loathsome Oil)' Book #7. brown leather with red-inked lettering. Potent Wine of Enervation Book #6. black burlap. The Soul and Other Deceptions Quantity of Master Sanger's remains in a silver tureen Quicksilver Smokeweed === Munson: down-at-heels adventurer === '''Stats:''' 11 Health, 7 Breath, 2 Brute, 1 Skulker, 1 Erudite.<br /> '''Gear:''' 1. Breastplate, 2. axe, 3. backpack (a. torch, b. 2x matches), '''droppable''' . '''droppable''', '''5. Tired''' 6. Sack (containing <br /> a. rope<br /> b. stake<br /> c. gold<br /> d. gold<br /> ). '''2''' Fresh Breath.<br /> '''Combat bonus:''' +2 Brute +2 (breastplate, axe) = '''+4''' total.<br /> ''Munson is an adventurer with a dented breastplate, a notched axe, and a sound shield. He spent a while loitering in Sargolis, waiting for someone with whom he could enter the Deeps - he was wise enough to know it was suicide to go down there by himself. After encountering Jhula and Saray, he assisted the two ladies in plundering the catacombs, dispatching the lich king, and interviewing the vampire God Queen of ruined Sargolis. Then he guided the group to his old home village, where they visited with his ghostly parents. Now they're in Naltis, exploring an ancient vampire's Catacombs.''
