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.''
