## Green and Mean

The Green Tide is a haphazard raiding party, roped together through sheer coincidence and dumb luck. After a horrible battle (that was caused by the minuscule Phlegm Snaggletooth) between an army of the Benzian Kingdom, the goblins of Camp Snaggletooth, an orc war band, a cyclops charged by a lightning strike, as well as a red dragon and his minions. This battle was not only horrible to write it was also poorly thought out, and somehow only left 4 survivors. Those survivors being Phlegm Snaggletooth, Nilghar, Captain Xilaskar, and one of the dragon's Kobolds. These lucky (and unlucky in Xilaskar's case) survivors stopped fighting, and decided to work together to create the most feared raiding party in Uvonor. Working as mercenaries for a magic school, The Green Tide made a name (as well as some coin) for themselves by defeating an ancient cult of ratmen and there god as well as rescuing some of the schools faculty (even if they did get other members killed). Now The Green Tide has used these boosts to purchase for them a cart and a horse, as well as a number of cosmetic upgrades. After hiring some new lackeys, Big Booger and Rook Rustle, they have headed off to the great city of Waterdeep to go after its treasure of 500,000 gold coins.

## Chain of Command

### Prince Phlegm Snaggletooth - Gobbo Big Boss: Da Smartest Git

The self-proclaimed leader of The Green Tide is none other than the sickly Goblin, Phlegm Snaggletooth. There was no formal election or giving of power, it's not even certain that he really is the leaader; but if one this is for certain he definitely acts like it. Phlegm's high intellect and shrewdness, as well as his obnoxious, rude, and self-serving attitude (due to compensating for his small size and years of child trauma: both emotional and physical), made the him built for the position of leader. Even looking at Phlegm it is obvious that his twisted mind fetishizes (not sexually... or maybe?) leadership, he wears the crown of a human lord and fancies himself for a noble. Trying to speak in the cant of high society, until his impulsiveness gets the best of him and he sinks back to goblin vernacular. Phlegm uses his position of leadership, mostly just to berate other; but his wisdom and intellect do help the Tide greatly when it comes to planning and operating. Because of this the other members of the Green Tide's high command due in fact refer to Phlegm as the leader and while they aren't as completely subservient as Phlegm would like to admit; they work to protect him and usually allow him to call the shots.

### Nilghar "Knower of Nuthin" - Ork War Chief: Choppin' and Slaughta

If Phlegm is the perfect leader for this band of rag tag adventurers/criminals, Nilghar is the perfect right hand man. He's as big as a troll, as strong as the odor of burnt hair, as tough as a mountain, and as dumb as his luck. Nilghar is basically just a nuclear warhead, whatever the Green Tide points him at is immediately terrified or decimated. His fighting style is brutal and beautiful, just like Nilghar: he's Brutiful. After swearing away learning new things, Nilghar is happy to not know exactly what the party is even doing; as long as he gets paid in coin and blood. But he also has a soft spot, that allows for the other members of the Tide to stop and appreciate the little things such as: bugs (Nilghars favorite little things), other green skins (WAAAGGGHHH), decapitation (isn't it wonderful), and bread (Yummy!). As well as things he likes Nilghar also hates some things that remind the party of their hatred for the world: birds (why are they like that), thoughts (there are words in my head), and pocket dimensions (he was trapped in one for months). This is why Nilghar represents the beautiful duality in the world, and the party. There is good and bad, bugs and birds, but as long as you have weaponry and drive to kill anything and everything; you'll be fine.

### Captain Xilaskar - Haf Ork War Chief: Taktikill Plannin' n Godstuffs

While it may sound cheesy, Xilaskar is the moral compass of the group; or at least he tries to be. The ex-military captain turned paladin knows a few things about law and order, and uses these skills to keep the Tide from turning to complete chaos. Xilaskar advocates for reason and thought, over the violent and angry tendencies within the other greenskin's blood. While in many cases he is a party pooper, what Xilaskar lacks in a 'fun-loving' personality he makes up for in tactical placement, heavy armor, and healing. He is an expert tactician, filled with the blood of a greenskin, that emphasizes loyalty and deals out swift divine Justice. He is a force to be reckoned with in, as well an excellent addition to the group. He makes sure the other members of the party eat their veggies (yuck!), go to church (even if it is in order to desecrate them), and go to bed on time. You may be thinking why would this upstanding citizen ever be seen with the rest of The Green Tide? After the great battle that brought our heroes (or villains) together, all of Captain Xilaskar's military company was killed in glorious combat. The goal of any good Torm worshiper, sadly left out and past his prime; Xilaskar needs the rest of the party in order to get into crazy dangerous scenarios where he can finally fall in combat and find peace.

### Rook Rustle: Musikal Numbah's

A mysterious Kenku dressed in green robes (technicality), that has a knack for music. Rook was recently hired by the Green Tide and is now a trainee. Besides his magical powers that can drive any sane person insane and the most courageous crumple in fear; Rook Rustle is really fucking adorable. He's a little crowman in oversized green pajamas, that sings songs and mimics Phlegm's foul mouth perfectly. This Crow man is a master at interrogation and breaking men as well as crazy hypnotism spells that tend to make even the rest of the party nervous.

### Big Booger: Big Teef

If being a 7ft tall bugbear with huge pointed fangs wasn't enough to get hired the fact that Double B is more nimble than an elk and can deliver more punches in a 6 second period than Bruce Lee makes him an excellent addition. While he isn't smart, wise, good looking, good smelling, well-versed in the arts, or even well thought out as a character. He does have one good thing going for him, he hates pigskins more than anything. He wants to make coin and kill anything that's in his way or that would be fun to kill. Double B makes a perfect foot soldier, name-less, void of any personality or defining features, and dangerous.
