C2 Ep.1 Session Zero!

—Eric

The cast sit down to give a preview of the player characters, some NPCs that will be joining them, and some of the new mechanics that will come into play.

## Player Characters

### Milo Kegbottom

A slightly below middle-aged halfling, Milo used to own a small bar, and believes it was intentionally burned down. His wife died in the fire and he escaped, but with a nasty wound on his head. He's a mage that has just aquired his powers, and he's obsessed with finding out who the arsonists are.

### Hob

He big, he strong, he protect. Hob is a goliath who left his clan and took up with the Blood of Vol. His nickname was given to him by the Boromar Clan; they thought it would be funny to give him a halfling name because he's seven feet tall. He's fiercely loyal to whoever takes him in, and thrives on a sense of belonging, which sometimes leads to recklessness.

He was checking up on everyone on his protection racket when he came across Milo's burning bar. He feels a sense of indebtedness to Milo because it happened under his watch.

Hob has a bounty on his head. He went to collect some debts from a powerful person, and in the process embarrassed this person who did not want to be embarrassed. It's a low level bounty; not necessarily for his head.

### Erys

Erys is around twenty years old. She's small and wears a big long coat with plenty of pockets. It's dull in color but has a lot of bright decorations she's added on. Her hair is dyed a dark blue, and she carries a magical crossbow that uses a bound elemental to operate instead of anything mechanical. She's a Cyran refuge; as a much younger person she was taken in a goblin raid and enslaved. Her owner took her on a voyage, but their ship was attacked by a Lhazaar pilot named Ulfan Morcret. He brought her to Sharn, where he retired and opened up a restaurant. She rents a room above it.

She got caught up in the Boromar Clan because she had no where else to go. Milo was her initial contact, and he set her up with her under the table mageright lessons. Her day job is repairing slot machines at the Lucky Nines casino.

She's by nature scared, though she attempts to conceal it. She's independent, doesn't warm up to people quickly, and a bit flighty. She has a tendency to cut and run, which can make her inconsiderate at times. In the group she feels safe, especially with Hob, whose shadow she's very happy to hide in. She's highly artistic, and a musician. She's theater buddies with Reynard.

### Reynard Turnvale

Reynard is an elf from a wealthy family. He abused their wealth, and his family excommunicated him. He still longs for his old life, so he likes to pickpocket guests at the casinos and theater. He loves the theater, which is where he bonded with Erys. He dresses ornately to give off an air of being wealthy, even though his home is kind of a shoebox appartment.

## Non-Player Characters

### Sigil

Sigil is a warforged with an affinity for magic. They're soft-spoken and not interested in fighting, much less battle or war. They have beliefs that some would label as off-kilter.

### Kath and Sana

An interesting pair of siblings, Kath and Sana are a half-orc and a half-elf. They are extremely adept when it comes to combat, and when they're on the job, especially if it's with Sigil, they're the ones looking out for everyone. They're undefeated in the Burning Ring, a fighting ring in Sharn, whether they're going up against other competitors or a monster.
