Overview

The Goon Deeps of Sargolis are a rule/setting combo focused on a procedurally generated catacomb haunted by undead and evil cultists.

We conquered that, killed/released the arch lich boss, found and spoke with his vampire ex-wife (the "God Queen" Ostienne), looted the throne room, and started exploring the ruined city above the catacomb.

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.
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.
Looking at Ricky's vacant bedroll, she feels guilt, something she hasn't felt in a long time. She resolves to see if she can put another team together in Sargolis and retrieve his body, perhaps even complete their mission?

Saray: indebted lady knight

Stats: 9 Health, 9 Breath, 3 Brute, 1 Skulker.
Gear: backpack(Torch, rations), mace, shield. 6 Fresh Breath.
Combat bonus: +4 with torch, +5 with shield.
Saray is a knight of moderate age, skilled in battle and accustomed to comfort. But recently rents have been short and her comfortable life has brought debt. She's planning to plunder the Deeps to get funds to get the lenders off her. Munson looks like a potential patsy, someone she could use and drop ... but she wants a third to round out a crew. She's heard the Deeps are deadly.

Munson: down-at-heels adventurer

Stats: 11 Health, 7 Breath, 2 Brute, 1 Skulker, 1 Erudite.
Gear: Breastplate, axe, shield, backpack(rations, torch). 3 Ready Breath.
Combat bonus: +2 Brute +3 (breastplate, axe, shield) = +5 total.
Munson is a down-at-the-heels adventurer with a dented breastplate, a notched axe, and a small bag of rations. He's been in Sargolis a while, waiting for someone with whom he can enter the Deeps - he's wise enough to know it's suicide to go down there by himself.
