Harvey Quinn

**Harvey Quinn** was a troubled young man from Thay. His parents pressured him to excel in all things in his life and pushed him to become a doctor. This pressure led to Harvey becoming a talented gymnast and an exceptional student.

Jester's circus came to Harvey's village and he saw true freedom for the first time in his life. These were people who loved what they did and had fun doing it. After meeting Jester, Harvey decided he needed to run away to be with him. The two slaughtered Harvey's hometown, including his parents. The two entered a very toxic relationship where Jester often beat Harvey and emotionally abused him.

When the Acquaintances With Weapons found the Jester's Circus in Azul, they tried to help Harvey break free of his violent relationship. This failed to work and Kataro, Peggy, and Neuriel killed him.

## Magical Prowess

Harvey met Jester and learned how to become a bard from him. He used his magical abilities to empower Jester and their carnival. Harvey also learned how to use his magic to undercut the performance and ability of his enemies.
Cordelia Bonum

**Cordelia Bonum** is a human warlock who serves Cthulhu and is the apprentice of Clementine Jones. After the Best Friends Caravan defeated Tiamat and the Cult of the Dragon, Clementine founded a Cthulhu coven in Waterdeep to mentor other warlocks. Cordelia was the first to join this coven and became Clementine's personal apprentice.

Cordelia helped Clementine summon the Strangers With Weapons when several BFC members were kidnapped by Jamna Gleamsilver. Cordelia took part in the Kiki after the BFC were rescued.

Cordelia was out of town when the Reverie made a heart-shaped dome over Waterdeep. When she returned, she realized she couldn't reenter her city and teamed up with Danny Dwarfito to lead the refugee camp of New Waterdeep. While Danny provides the security, Cordelia provides most of the strategic leadership.

When the Arcane Brotherhood came to investigate the Reverie, Cordelia was resistant to work with them. She knew they helped her Supreme in her time of need, but she saw the Brotherhood as too controlling of the Waterdeep citizens. Thanks to the Acolytes in Sexy Tights' machinations, the Arcane Brotherhood became much more accommodating partners to Cordelia and her people.

After the Acolytes and Clementine Jones defeated Tasha Nightshade and Bedlam, Clementine ended the Reverie and reunited with her apprentice. The Acolytes discovered Cordelia was a servant of Chaotic the Queen of Demons. When Dead Amy confronted her about this at Clementine's bachelorette party, she admitted that her parents sold her soul prior to her birth. She joined Clementine's Cthulhu cult hoping to find a way to sever her connection to the demon queen. A zone of truth spell showed she was being honest about this and that she had nothing to do with Bedlam or Tasha. She also confessed to having feelings for Clementine. Her supreme let her down gently and she remains in her service.
Nylea

**Nylea** is worshipped as the goddess of the hunt. Hunters invoke her name to track and kill their prey.

## Myth

Nylea is one of the original deities of Theros. When Therosians were still nomadic hunters and gatherers, they prayed to her to track game and for the strength and aim to kill it.

## Influence

In Theros, it's believed dogs and cats became domesticated by the grace of Nylea. She is seen as the best archer in the world, and contests of archery are often held in her name.

## Worship

Those who hunt their own food for survival pray to Nylea for success, and Nylea blesses their natural predation.

Poachers and those who kill for sport, however, know that she loathes such activity, and they try to stay hidden from her at all costs. Nylea has personally slain many of those who killed wantonly in her sacred Nessian Wood.

She is closely associated with her sister, Karametra, the goddess of agriculture and fertility.

## Piety

#### **Earning and Losing Piety**

Valindra Shadowmantle

**Valindra Shadowmantle** was a former red wizard who served Emperor Szass Tam directly. She was so impressive and high up that the emperor personally assigned her the mission to investigate the Death Curse in Chult. Her soldiers kidnapped Neuriel and kept him in the Heart of Ubtao. When the Strangers With Weapons showed up and freed him, she posed as a prisoner as well. She gave the party some lore about Ubtao and Chult and took her leave.

She and her squad made it to Omu while investigating the Death Curse. However, her red wizards were eliminated by the Yuan-Ti and their zombie dragon. The SWW found her again when searching for the puzzle cubes to open the Tomb of Annihilation, which housed the cause of the Death Curse - the Soulmonger. After being captured with the SWW and taken prisoner in the ancient Omuan castle by the Yuan-Ti, she betrayed the SWW by stealing the Ring of Winter from them and going back to Thay to start a rebellion to make herself queen.

She allied herself with the Sewn Sisters and focused on collecting the pieces of Tiamat that remain in the material realm to bolster her armory against Szass Tam. This effort proved to be a failure. The Acquaintances With Weapons drove her away before she could take the Tiamat talon blade from them. AWW killed the Sewn Sisters when they tried to retrieve the Tiamat scale armor. And AWW defeated Tigress, securing the Tiamat fang wand.

The Ring of Winter and her pact with devils amassed her enough power to conquer the Wytch Elms thalmont and the Lazarus thalmont. AWW infiltrated her flying castle when it hovered over a newly conquered Zelena, the capital of the Wytch Elms. Fern discovered Valindra's diary in her bed chambers and discovered she had a bad relationship with her mom, loved going on juice cleanses, and that the ice castle was her phylactery. Wet Dick was able to work the castle's control panels. With his knowledge, Bigsby had his invisible servant crash the castle into a nearby battlefield. AWW escaped with a few scratches. Valindra came out of the wreckage badly injured. Voloth's maul tore off her arm, separating her from the Ring of Winter. His second maul attack killed the now completely mortal Valindra.

## Animal Companions

* Valindra had a white dragon under her command. It died when AWW crashed her castle.

## Magical Equipment

* Valindra wore the Ring of Winter, which granted her immense magical powers. She could control arctic creatures, like her white dragon, generate ice, summon snowstorms, drop temperatures in her surrounding area, and convert elemental energy into ice.
Highfather Zitembe

**Highfather Zitembe** was the head of the Church of Savras in Port Nyanzaru. His church required a very high tithe for membership. The old Merchant Princes and Port Nyanzaru's elite would pay top coin for Highfather Zitembe's divination abilities.

The Strangers With Weapons first met Highfather Zitembe soon after arriving in Port Nyanzaru. They witnessed him deny Dinah Lance a divination spell to find Artus Cimber, who she claimed was her father, because she didn't have the coin. He did grant the SWW a vision, "I see three hearts. One of stone. One of ice. One of blood. I smell death on an elf. I hear a woman screaming. I taste a viper's poison. I feel the rush of a great fall."

After Queen Maxima took the throne in Port Nyanzaru, Highfather Zitembe started protests against her reforms. He preached that she was denying Savras' will. He would later become the founding member of the new Merchant Princes, which he served as de facto leader and as the Merchant Prince of Magic.

When spies reported that Vladimir Pudding was unhappy with the Acquaintances With Weapons, it was Highfather Zitembe who invited him to become First Knight of the Merchant Princes. The paladin reported directly to him.

After killing all the other Merchant Princes, AWW battled Highfather Zitembe on the Isle of Ubtao, which was off the coast of Port Nyanzaru. The party killed the 20 soldiers guarding him. Highfather Zitembe wielded dangerous spells that were often light based. After Stzu San decapitated him, he was able to utter one last transformation spell, turning himself into a beholder. Even in this form he couldn't overcome AWW's power and he succumbed to one of Calypso's lightning bolts.

## Titles

* Highfather
* Merchant Prince of Magic

Tiamat

**Tiamat** is worshipped as the greater god of injustice, greed, and trickery. She's primarily worshiped by dragons and draconic humanoids.

## Myth

Many believe Tiamat and her brother, Bahamut, are the original dragons. Tiamat was evil and used her vast power to build dangerous armies and amass incredible fortunes. Her brother was often seen as a hero who used his power to help others and defend the weak. She created chromatic dragons while Bahamut created metallic dragons. The two battled against each other until they left the material realm. Their deeds and creations led to reverence and their godly ascension.

Tiamat reigned over Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells, as its Overlord. The only beings equal to her were the eight other Overlords. Asmodeus, the Archfiend of Hell, is the master of the Overlords. Her duplicitous nature and hunger for power led her to betray Asmodeus and try to usurp his throne. Her rebellion failed and she was locked away in Avernus. Bhaal was then appointed Overlord of Avernus by Asmodeus.

## Influence

Nearly all chromatic dragons believe they descend either directly from Tiamat or the chromatic dragons she created. They continue her war against her brother by battling against their good counterparts, the metallic dragons.

## Worship

Tiamat's followers include chromatic dragons, chromatic half dragons, and chromatic dragonborn. They fight an endless feud agains their metallic brethren in her honor. Many seek out riches and build armies in her name in the hope she will reward them with godly power.

The Cult of the Dragon was an organization that worshipped Tiamat and wished to bring her into the material plane once again in hopes she'd destroy the world and install her most faithful as kings and queens of the ashes. The heroic group called the Best Friends Caravan spent the better part of two years fighting the dragon cult. The cultists were able to summon Tiamat, but the BFC defeated in her in battle. The half-orc fighter named Bragga Warhammer landed the blow that forced the dragon goddess back to hell.

After her defeat, some of her cultists created deadly weapons out of her broken off fang, scale, and claw. These were eventually found and locked away by the Acquaintances With Weapons.
Skios Istos

**Skios Istos** is a drow warrior. He's a member of the Spellfire Club, serving as the Amber Pawn. Despite his low ranking in the organization, he's a deadly combatant. He knocked Codnus Bearbody out with just two swings of his blade.

Skios was assigned the mission of overseeing the capture of a mysterious box. He contracted several bounty hunters to find it. This plan almost succeeded as a mage bounty hunter stole the box from Puke Wilson. However, Codnus Bearbody stopped her and this led the party to Skios' drop point location. He was rendered immobile by Holy Lady Labya and the party escaped him with the box and the fake gold he was going to give a successful bounty hunter.

When King Varik Heliodson met Antonin Scalea to recruit him into the Spellfire Club, Skios accompanied the Obsidian King. While the two crime lords met, Skios gambled in Secretes' casino. After losing in a brawl against the party, he swallowed a poisoned pill so he couldn't be taken prisoner or interrogated.

## Magical Prowess

Thanks to his drow ancestry, Skios is immune to magical sleep and resistant to being charmed. He also wields magic that can manipulate light and darkness.
Moira Rosé

**Moira Rosé** is the half-elf headmistress of The Luters bard college in Meletis. It's Theros' most influential and elite bard college. They teach all kinds of bard specialties.

Moira's main rival was Barda Stryzand, who lost out on the headmistress position to Moira. When Barda started her own bard college, she trapped the muses to prevent other bards from performing. Moira recruited the party to investigate this lack of talent and inspiration. They were able to defeat Barda and release the muses.

The headmistress is very dramatic and prone to extreme emotional outbursts.

Moira joined the army of the living at the battle of the Field of Pyra. Her bardic skills healed many troops and kept fighters inspired. While she survived the battle, she is currently in a full body cast.

## Magical Prowess

Her half-elf ancestry grants her resistance to charms and an immunity to magical sleep.

Moira considers herself a very well rounded bard. She can act, sing, dance, play instruments, and recite poetry. Her magically infused words and performances can inspire others, cause psychic damage, and charm her enemies.

Her bard abilities are so strong she defeated Aryan Grande in the Iroan Games performance contest and won the gold medal.

## Titles

* Headmistress of The Luters bard college
* Iroan Games performance gold medalist
Queen Wavera Saedra

**Queen Wavera "Misty" Saedra** is the triton queen of underwater city Cerulean. She's young and new to the throne. Unlike her predecessors and other triton communities, she isn't and isolationist. She believed in working with the surface world. As part of that endeavor, she's building colonies on deserted island off the coast of Theros. The main colony is Procan and Poseidra's Island - aka PnP island.

Not many were happy with her outreach to the surface world. Buoyoncé Shoals led an insurgent group against the queen in hopes of dethroning her and keeping Cerulean beneath the waves. His plot failed when the queen had the Acolytes in Sexy Tights kill him in his lighthouse base. She's now an ally in the war against Queen Nekros.
Maccath the Crimson

**Maccath the Crimson** is a tiefling wizard and the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood. She was previously the director of their S.T.A.F.F. division.

Maccath was always interested in dragon lore and relics. This intrigue led her to joining the Arcane Brotherhood so she could learn more about dragon magic. Maccath decided to seek out Arauthator, a white dragon that lived in the Sea of Moving Ice, for her research.

Arauthator normally killed intruders but he saw that Maccath could be useful. The wizard could explain to the dragon all the lore and uses of the magic items in his treasure hoard. Maccath was so intrigued to learn the dragon's magic secrets that she agreed to be his captive. Eventually she was rescued by the Best Friends Caravan who sought her knowledge to help them fight the Tiamata's Cult of the Dragon. With Maccath secured, so was an alliance with the Arcane Brotherhood.

When Waterdeep was imprisoned by the Reverie, Maccath was assigned to monitor the situation, find a way inside, and secure the Undermountain - a large cave system below the city. She had a contentious relationship with the refugees of Waterdeep until the Acolytes in Sexy Tights showed up and helped them work through their differences (mostly by lying about being established Arcane Brotherhood allies). Thanks to Maccath's intel, the Acolytes were able to enter the city via the sewers.

Maccath and her Arcane Brotherhood agents were able to gain entry into the city themselves some time later. They experimented on Waterdeep citizens to understand the nature of the Reverie. Maccath was able to locate Lord Vecna, the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood, in Tasha's Bedlam temple. All that remained of her master was his hand. Tasha destroyed Vecna's body and cursed the lich so he couldn't regenerate. Vecna tried possessing Maccath but she was freed from his influence when the Acolytes destroyed the hand and trapped Vecna's soul. Angry at her former master, she abandoned him and became the Archmage of the Arcane Brotherhood.

## Titles

* Archmage of the Arcane Brotherhood
* Director of the Arcane Brotherhood's S.T.AF.F. (formerly)
Cyric

**Cyric** is worshiped as the greater god of deception and strife. He caused the Spellplague, which eliminated magic in the material realm for a decade, when he killed his sister, Mystra, the goddess of magic.

## Myth

Many believe Cyric was the realm's first tiefling. He and Mystra were siblings in their mortal lives. Jealous of his sister's natural gift for magic, Cyric sought out infernal beings for power. They granted him his request and it turned him into a devilish looking humanoid.

Cyric rules over Haranae, the eighth layer of Hell, which is mostly desert in nature.

## Influence

When a random act of violence occurs or a person becomes paranoid, it's said they've been touched by Cyric.

Most do not know Cyric killed Mystra so they think she abandoned the material realm and revoked their use of magic for a time.

## Worship

The open worship of Cyric is taboo in most cultures on Toril due to his chaotic evil nature. Secret cults exist and often cause political, financial, and personal conflict in his name.
Spyral

**Spyral** is the son of a satyr woman and the god Phaenax. He was one the run from a cult of Klothys that believed he and his father were abominations, threatening the natural order of the universe.

One night, he was partying at the Wet Hole in Stellanus. He met Dikarus Bottombane, Aryan Grande, Sprocket "Ballsy" Gnoman III, Juxxtina, Sybil Ringwell, Muchomucho M. Amor, and Rory "The Mane Attraction" Sharptooth. The group partied with him and protected him from Klothys cultists that ambushed the tavern.

At his behest, the heroes went to a temple of Kruphix to get him a cloak that would make him invisible, undetectable, and untraceable.

The satyr is a frequent customer of Secretes.

Spyral partied on Regina Isle not fully realizing what kind of club the Spellfire Club was.

## Magical Prowess

Spyral didn't really like to fight. He preferred to use his magic to party and amuse (or seduce) others. Being nyxborn, means Spyral's body constantly shimmers with starlight. His hair often moves as if a breeze is tussling it.

Spyral could collect the starlight his body produced in the form of a fine power. He called it stardust and would often give it to others to snort so they could get high.
Lacie Suzan

**Lacie Suzan** was a half-elf from Verse Sai. They were a member of The Tea political party and was their candidate for the Cuntcil. They ran against Atilla the Huntie and Anne Tifa. After the Acolytes in Sexy Tights started a write-in campaign for Rory Sharptooth, the drag luchador quickly became the favorite to win. When Lacie realized they were going to lose, they teamed up with Atilla and attacked the drag ball, hoping to kill their political enemy and his supporters. Their plot failed and the two candidates were defeated by the Acolytes. Rory later won the seat on the Cuntcil

## Magical Prowess

Lacie Suzan was a warlock who made a pact with an archfey. This granted them several abilities like the power to summon fey creatures and enchant others.

## Policies

* Pro fighting the undead
* Primary deity is Ephara
* Increase brunch taxes to fund local astrology and cosmetology schools
* Allow all queer people to claim citizenship
* Allocate resources to fight internalized homophobia and bigotry
* Normalize external relations
* Universal self care
Karen Pinterblog

**Karen Pinterblog** is the newest member of the Acquaintances With Weapons. She's a "druidinfluencer" (a term she coined herself, and it's totally gonna catch on)- a member of the druidic Shepherd Circle. The group found her wandering the Purple Sands Desert in Thay, after an ayahuasca bender at Orcoachella sent her out alone on a vision quest of her own making. While surprisingly competent in battle, she spends most of her time livestreaming on her selfie crystal and doing DIY projects of questionable quality, like her crocheted shawls (it's totally good enough for Anthropologie and can be found on her Etsy site: Karen's Kalamities). Her background is somewhat of a mystery, but honestly nobody cares to know more.

After AWW defeated Szass Tam, the potion Karen drank that turned her skin green turned her into an actual plant. Neuriel planted her in Queen Maxima's gardens. Unfortunately, Karen is an invasive species and her spores are spreading all over Chult and Thay.

## Magical Prowess

Karen probably gets her magic from appropriating other cultures' spells, rituals, and traditions. She's shown particular skill in summoning creatures and spirit guides. Being a druid allows her to shape shift into various beasts. After drinking a potion found in Belladonna Suprema's vault, Karen now has green skin and can photosynthesize instead of consuming human food.

## Magical Equipment

* Selfie wand
	+ A wooden wand with a crystal at the tip. The crystal can capture and store a magical illusion that depicts a specific moment in time.
	+ The crystal can send verbal messages and reveal what's going on around it to people who atune to it.
* Clay companion
	+ The clay can be shaped into a humanoid or beast figure that stands up to 12 inches and weighs up to 5 pounds.
	+ The figure's personality is determined by the facial expression carved into it.
	+ It follows the commands of its creator and is sentient for up to 1 hour per day.
* Fearless sunglasses
	+ If Karen fails a saving throw that would make her afraid, she can reroll. She must use the second roll.
* Fire-resistant gimp suit
	+ While wearing this bright-orange gimp suit crafted from the skin of a salamander, Karen has advantage against fire damage. Failed saving throws cause only half damage and successful saving throws cause no damage.
* Sending stone earrings and bracelet
	+ These communication magic items allow the user to covertly speak with other members of their team as long as they're on the same plane of existence.
Duchess Una

**Duchess Una** is the Archfey of Beasts. She was appointed by Queen Titania to rule over the Sylva Court's territory called Animalia. She has a strong kinships with wild animals and often prefers the company of beasts to humanoids. She's very shy and is the least literate when it comes to the Sylvan Court's rules and etiquette. She attends all meetings and royal parties, however, she spends very limited time inside and often wanders into the king's gardens.

At the most recent Royal Ball, she befriended Muchomucho M Amor after bonding in the king's gardens and talking about their dislike for all the rules.

## Myth

Una was once a unicorn given a humanoid form by Queen Titania. She is considered to be the mother figure of unicorn. Despite her timid nature, there are many stories of Una viscously defending her land and the beings that call it home. Most poachers, traffickers, and polluters who enter never leave. This is something Baba Yaga's forces learned for themselves during the War of the Courts.

## Influence

Una's very presence seems to calm even the wildest of beasts. Her region of Animalia is the least populated in the Feywild but boasts the largest biodiversity in terms of wildlife.

## Worship

All Archfey are treated as gods by their citizens due being virtually immortal and wielding vast powers. Races in the material realm who hail from the Feywild often still worship the gods and rulers they left behind in their home world. Many beings in the multiverse seek out the Archfey for magical power. If an Archfey deems a person worthy, they will serve as their warlock patron.
Nyssa Pterratrov

**Nyssa Pterratrov** was a human vampire and the leader of the Zhentarim. She was a devout worshipper of Bane. The Zhentarim, or Dark Network, was a collective of criminals who desired world domination. They often sold stolen valuables, secrets, and pillaged treasures in a black market to fund their operation. They did offer legal services, often below market rates, to help cover up their schemes and undermine legitimate businesses. The organization was divided into four houses that each oversaw a particular unit.

Nyssa was based in the city of Waterdeep where the Zhentarim headquarters were. Dinah Drakescale, magistrate of Waterdeep and mother of Dinah Lance, investigated the group. She got close to defeating them, but Nyssa captured her and turned her into her vampire spawn.

When the Flaming Fist could no long police or guard Port Nyanzaru, the Merchant Princes reached out to the Zhentarim for security. Chult was rife with magical secrets and lore so Nyssa sent Tala Teague, a drow mage who oversaw the Zhentarim's magical division, to execute the contract. The Strangers With Weapons defeated Tala's forces and killed her. This was the battle that won Queen Maxima the city.

Nyssa ordered the rest of the Zhentarim heads to go to Chult to decide their next steps. Emma Diamondfrost, their high elf spymaster, took her magical flying pirate ship to the island. The SWW and Dinah infiltrated it and defeated Emma's forces. Emma exchanged information on the Zhentarim and some magical items for her life.

The SWW continued working with Dinah and eventually found where the Zhentarim leaders were hiding in Chult. They freed Helena Vertenili, the daughter of Zhentarim warlord Franko Vertinili, before she could be sacrificed to Bane for rebelling against the Dark Network. The SWW killed Franko and Cassandra Harkness, the Zhentarim's thief master. They then killed Nyssa. Dinah was forced to mercy kill her mother because she didn't want to live as vampire. Thankfully, they resurrected her as a human after the Death Curse was lifted.
Lord Barnstable Barkstaffe

**Lord Barnstable Barkstaffe** was a prominent nobleman in Port Nyanzaru. He was a businessman, adventurer, and a scholar. Five years ago, he had a dinner with Red Wizards of Thay who drunkenly convinced him to summon a demon. The group couldn’t control the demon so they locked it away in a magical diamond. The diamond required 10 humanoid sacrifices every year. He would host exclusive dinner parties where he murdered the guests to sustain the diamond prison.

The Acquaintances With Weapons were invited to Lord Barnstable's last shindig. Other party guests included:

* Lady Eleanor Goldwaves, a noble Elf from Faerun and an old classmate of Vulveeta’s. She was eaten by a mimic in her guest bedroom.

* Detective Emory Ember, a drunk kobold detective. He recently solved the case of the missing children in the well (he put them there). He’s currently investigating Jack the Ripper and the Boston Strangler. He died when he was pushed down the stairs.
* Amalie Lightfoot, a gnome jungle guide who led many of Lord Barkstaffe’s expeditions into Chult’s jungle. She had a heart attack and died after seeing Voloth bash Detective Ember’s body with his maul.
* Lord Caspian Von Gregor, a human noble from Port Nyanzaru. Invited himself to the party after hearing about it. An early suspect for the dinner killings. He was captured and restrained until someone snuck in and cut his throat.
* Lady Harriet Lockwell, a bigoted and mean old human woman from Port Nyanzaru. Her family owns a large bank in the city. She was stabbed to death.

AWW quickly discovered something was amiss when party guests started disappearing or ended up dead. After an investigation, the party confronted Lord Barnstable and defeated him in a fight. Since his ritual went unfinished, the demon was released from its diamond prison. Vulveeta slayed the demon, however, it's body exploded upon death and that killed an unconscious Lord Barnstable.
Sir Lancelot Morewood

**Sir Lancelot Morewood** is a human paladin of Torm. As a member of the Best Friends Caravan, he fought against the Cult of the Dragon. He developed a reputation for being a brave warrior. Despite his paladin tenets, Lance was often drunk and known to give into lust. In order to help secure an alliance with the metallic dragons, Lance slept with a dwarven collector to retrieve a metallic dragon's family heirloom. He competed with Bragga Warhammer to see who could be the physically strongest member of the party.

During his travels with the BFC, Lance became a member of the Order of the Gauntlet. Lance went to Chult with a contingent of the Order of the Gauntlet led by Niles Breakbone. Their mission was to gather resources to help Faerun rebuild from the dragon cult war. Niles became overzealous and started raiding Amazonian sites. The Chultan Amazons fought back and injured many of Niles' forces, including Lance.

The Strangers With Weapons soon arrived at Gauntlet camp. Neuriel helped treat Lance and his comrades. Lance warned Neuriel that Niles was dangerous. The SWW then defeated Niles in combat and took back the Amazonian relic he stole. The Gaunlet went back to Faerun after this without Niles who was determined to get revenge. SWW would later kill him in battle.

Lance was later saved by the SWW again after he and several BFC members were kidnapped by Jamna Gleamsilver.

He was seen training new paladin recruits at the Salty Clam when the Acquaintances With Weapons stopped in Waterdeep on their way to Thay.

## Magical Prowess

As a paladin, Lance is able to tap into righteous magic that heals himself and others, wards off the effects of being charmed or scared, and empowers his weapons

## Magical Equipment

* Angelic lance
	+ +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls
	+ 1d10 radiant damage
	+ Additional 1d10 radiant damage to fiends
* +1 Longsword

Valentina Lovemoon

**Valentina Lovemoon** was an eladrin who worshipped Karametra. Their radical faith in the god of agriculture and fertility led her to believe Queen Nekros and secret societies like the Spellfire Club represented the apocalypse. They believed that humanoids needed to procreate to stem the upcoming extinction. Their partner was Hedonia Hartz who was similarly crazed in her devotion to Phaenax. Together, they tainted the well water of Erodys with their party potion that made humanoids lose their inhibitions and want to bang.

Hedonia and Valentina built the Phallus Palace together to serve as their temple of love. The Acolytes in Sexy Tights stormed through their temple and confronted the pair in their personal chambers. The lovers were no match for the Acolytes. Valentina was killed by a crossbow bolt fired by Aryan Grande.
Elvirus

**Elvirus** was a Returned centaur named Odion Nighthoof. Queen Nekros tasked him with creating a plague that could eliminate humanoid kind. He successfully transformed himself into a sentient virus thanks to magical research he stole from a centaur druid named Frazzle Dazzle who worshipped Pharika.

His first victim was Mr. Sphinxter. He and other Returned soldiers turned into virus cells infected the sphinx's body through his anus. From there, they went into the organs located in the abdomen. They lost a lot of forces to white blood cells and the sphinx's liver and kidneys. Since this was their initial infection point, Mr. Sphinxter experienced stomach distress first.

Elvirus and his forces moved beyond the sphinx's stomach. Inside his lungs, they created a black ooze that made it difficult to breathe. They successfully shut down one chamber of his heart and corrupted his cells making them malformed. Elvirus took final refuge in the sphinx's brain where he tried to learn how to replicate himself. The worst symptoms he caused there was a fever and neuron destruction.

The Acolytes in Sexy Tights confronted and destroyed Elvirus in the brain before he could learn how to replicate himself and spread his plague for Queen Nekros.

## Magical Prowess

As a Returned, Odion Nighthoof demonstrated great skill as a druid. He was powerful enough to understand Frazzle Dazzle's potions and how to use them to make himself into a virus.

As the Elvirus, he could extend spiky tendrils to attack cells and latch onto biological materials. While in Mr. Sphinxter's brain, he could tap into the sphinx's natural psychic abilities, which he used against the Acolytes. This dealt a great amount of damage to SBG3 and even made him forgetful for a time.
Kassandra Bellator

**Kassandra Bellator** was the sister of Amazonian Matriarch Lezos Bellator. She died protecting the Amazonian city of Desmos from a harpy attack.

She was one of the many souls who followed Queen Nekros out of the Underworld. She adopted the name Umbra Lee when she was a Returned being. She had a one-sided rivalry with her Returned colleague Leonvari Boneclaw. He was jealous that Umbra was Queen Nekros' favorite and of her success. The pair were tasked to work together in order to complete the godkiller potion. Prior to leaving the Underworld, Leonvari stole notes on the potion from Erebos and his hags.

As Umbra, she visited Karametra's Grove in Desmos several times as part of her research into creating Returned children. Matriarch Lezos found her and recognized her as her deceased sister. She was held captive in secret by the matriarch. Her Returned allies attacked Desmos every night to try to liberate their general. When interrogated by the party, Umbra shared the Returned have no memory prior to walking out of the Cave of Phaenax. Queen Nekros is their leader because she's kept them all together as a family. They see her as their mother and the one person in the world who has given them a purpose.

After the party destroyed Leonvari and his troops, they pushed Umbra and her Returned children back across the gate to the Underworld. Umbra transformed back into Kassandra. She had no memory of her time as a Returned. All she could recall before that was being dead in the Underworld and following a woman who rallied spirits together to follow the Path of Phaenax so they could live again.

Her Returned children ceased to exist when pushed through the gate because they had no true souls.

## Magical Prowess

While alive, Kassandra was a druid who held a deep devotion to Karametra and Nylea. She was a caretaker of the Karametra's Grover - a sacred site where Amazons would make children out of natural elements.

While serving Queen Nekros as Umbra Lee, she was able to corrupt the Amazonian child birthing ritual so she could create Returned children. This was a major breakthrough in Queen Nekros' plot to conquer the world and eradicate all living humanoids.
Money

The Acquaintances With Weapons must stop Tinder from destroying Port Nyanzaru.

## Major Plot Points

* Voloth, Neuriel, Vlad, Dani, Stzu San, Sudsy, and Calypso continued searching for the poachers. On their way, Vlad heard a woman crying out for help in Celestial. The party found a unicorn named Violata who was stuck in a bear trap.
* After freeing her, they were ambushed by a few poachers and a dark druid.
* The group infiltrated the poacher’s camp, freeing several of the trapped animals. They then ambushed the poachers and dark druids in the chaos.
* Vlad convinced a triceratops to live with AWW.
* Grab Stab ate a lot of humans.
* The next day, a protest broke out on the street of the Queen’s Palace. Noblemen and women shouted that Maxima was a Beggar Queen and a Usurper.
* Vlad started a counter protest. Stzu San and Sudsy pickpocketed the crowd.
* Dani bought a hut she could turn into a brothel for 5,750 Gold.
* Grab Stab gave birth to twins Grabsy and Stabsy.
* Tinder, the red dragon, then attacked the city in search of her missing gold. She immediately burned down the Butt Hut. Dani dealt a lot of damage to the creature. Neuriel kept everyone alive. Stzu San was afraid a lot of the time. Vlad nearly killed the beast. Sudsy nearly died. And Voloth delivered the fatal blow.
* Queen Maxima gave her heartfelt thanks to AWW for saving the city. She named Voloth the greatest Fighter in Chult for killing the dragon. And for killing Varysss, she gifted him the philosopher’s stone. Neuriel remains first knight, Voloth is second knight, Dani is third knight, Calypso is fourth knight, Stzu San is fifth knight, Sudsy is sixth knight, Vulveeta is seventh knight, and Vlad lost his title for being disrespectful to the crown.
* The Queen refused the party’s suggestion that they attack the Temple of Savras as they know it is one of the Merchant Princes bases. She’s unconvinced every member of the temple is a Prince supporter and doesn’t want to risk the lives of innocents.
* Syndra Silvane’s spies located an operational mine deep in the jungle. They deduced it must be Tinder’s and that the Merchant Princes drove her away from there to steal her gold.
* Queen Maxima ordered AWW to shut down the mine to cut off the princes’ finances.
* On the way to the mine, AWW encountered:
	+ Leviathan who thanked them for sending people to free her. She gave AWW’s boat a push to speed along their trip.
	+ A frost giant still in search for the Ring of Winter. Vlad told him that Valindra stole it and took it to Thay.
	+ Three beautiful women playing in the river. Voloth and Sudsy had a wild night with them. They’re all pregnant with Sudsy’s children.
* The group easily took out the two guards patrolling the mine’s entrance.
* Inside a shack outside of the mine, the group found mining tools and an old ledger that kept a record of the mine’s operation. It was started by dwarves from Faerun and the last entry reported seeing a red dragon flying close by.
Ilmater

**Ilmater** is worshipped as the greater god of endurance, martyrdom, perseverance, and suffering. He's worshiped by subjugated people and freedom fighters.

## Myth

Ilmater is an old god. Unfortunately, most humanoid civilizations persecuted or marginalized groups of people throughout their history and even continue to do so. It's believed Ilmater sacrificed himself so that he could free his oppressed brothers and sisters in a now extinct civilization.

## Influence

Ilmater's sacrifice was widely shared across the continent of Faerun. Those in bondage cried out to Ilmater to free them from their oppression. Most freedom fighters, rebel groups, and activists seeking justice, equality, and equity invoke his name in their pursuits.

Many oppressive regimes, like Emperor Szass Tam of Thay, outlaw the church of Ilmater. Underground churches tend to exist in these countries nonetheless.

## Worship

Most of Ilmater's worshipers are those looking to escape oppression. Many who have freedom pray to Ilmater to keep it. More kind hearted leaders will invoke Ilmater in hopes they are being just and fair to all.

Many churches of Ilmater assist groups of freedom fighters, refugees, and rebels as they see this as their highest calling.
Puke Wilson

**Puke Wilson** is a Yuan-ti rogue. Puke grew up with an affinity for snakes. He enjoyed experimenting with poisons and magical diseases. As he got older he learned that there a lot of people out there willing to pay good money to have their enemies killed. Never a squeamish one, he was happy to put his talents to use and make a pretty penny while he was at it. Since he spent most of his money drinking and gambling he was always one contract away from a life in the gutter.

Early in his career Puke met a brutish half-orc named Slapgug. They partnered up and spent a few years robbing, killing, and spending their ill-gotten wealth together. One night a gambling den operator hired them to find and kill a regular that had missed one too many payments. They tracked him down, but he was wily. He spotted them and made a run for it. He screamed for help, which alerted a passing band of guards. Puke and Slapgug tried to make a run for it but ended up cornered in an alley. Thinking fast, Puke stabbed Slapgug with a poisoned dagger, temporarily paralyzing him. When the guards rounded the corner Puke called out that he had stopped the brute. The guards thanked him for his service and hauled Slapgug off to the dungeons. That was the last time Puke ever saw Slapgug.

Since then Puke has preferred to work alone. He doesn't mind killing strangers, but betraying a friend and partner left a bad taste in his mouth, and he would prefer not to be in that position again.

Puke was present during King Demetrius' coronation. He attempted to pick the pockets of Condos Bearbody but was caught by the minotaur. After an awkward hug and conversation, Codnus gave Puke a gold coin. He later joined the rest of the heroes of the day to fight against the undead soldiers who attacked the coronation.

After helping the party keep Pansexual Dora's box safe, he took a long hiatus from The Acolytes in Sexy Tights. He reunited with them after winning big in a Setessan casino and then blowing his winnings on a bender. Puke helped the party drive Vanora Wake and her crew out of the Vault of Kruphix. Despite being told not to take anything, Puke wore the Helm of Forbidden knowledge. His mind couldn't handle its power and he was turned to dust.

The party collected his dust and paid tribute to Puke during a burial at sea. Queen Nekros later used the Puke dust they still had on them to create a zombified Puke. His undead form fell when Juxxtina killed the evil queen.

Avarice Niveus

**Avarice Niveus** is a tiefling wizard. Tieflings are known to come in a variety of colors with red being the most prominent. Avarice's pale white complexion is the rarest tiefling variation. At the age of 10, she was abducted by the WitchLight Carnival when they visited her hometown of Baldur's Gate. When she was given to Baba Yaga, she was conscripted to be a daughter of the Witch Queen and became a member of her Hourglass Coven.

Avarice eventually parted ways from Baba Yaga and her coven. She uses the magical education she received from Baba Yaga to steal and smuggle arcane items.

## Magical Prowess

Avarice studied magic under Baba Yaga starting at the age of 10. She practices magic that makes her job as a scavenger and thief easier. However, if she's forced to fight, she's been shown to wield dangerous spells like fireball.
Leonvari Boneclaw

**Leonvari Boneclaw** was a general of Queen Nekros' Returned army. He served his queen dutifully and yearned to have her favor. Before their escape from the Underworld, Leonvari stole notes on the god killer potion from Erebos. The undead leonin believed if they killed or turned enough mortals, gods would start dying from lack of faith. The god killer potion would serve to eliminate any other deities. Queen Nekros could then ascend to godhood with any domain she liked.

Leonvari's main responsibilities were centered around completing the god killer potion. He was partnered with Umbra for this endeavor, but her natural skill and affinity with the arcane arts only made Leonvari jealous and insecure. Queen Nekros clearly favored Umbra, especially after her breakthrough in creating Returned children using a corrupted Amazon ritual.

When Umbra was captured by Matriarch Lezos, Leonvari tried using the rescue attempts as a way to assassinate Umbra. When that failed, he contracted a killer to destroy her en route to Deuteros.

The party killed Leonvari after Matriarch Lezos had them track his forces back to the Pharika temple they used as a base of operations.

## Magical Prowess

Leonvari preferred fighting with his claws than with magic. His undead status made him immune to poison and resistance to necrotic energy. His intelligence made him a natural choice to oversee the operation of crafting the god killer potion.
