The Toad Gang

**The Toad Gang** is a group of adventurers that work within Valenwood. They're the protagonists of the current **Lorvyn Campaign**, taking up jobs **mercenaries**.

## Founding

### Name

The name “Toad Gang” came about as the result of an inside joke between the players: the main colors of the original three members (red, blue, and green) are the same as those of the toads of the Mario series.

The first real use of the name in canon was when they were asked by Lady Daturai the name of their group during a meeting of the Sisterhood. Vivion confidently exclaimed that they were known as “*The Toad Gang*”, to which Oliver requested he be excluded from said group.

### Initial Meeting

The members of the Toad Gang met in Roselake’s only tavern. Vladimir and Vivion had already joined together as a pair, meeting within the Fae Forest the day before and making their way into town. Here they found the divination wizard tiefling known as Zhervus, who hired them as bodyguards for an upcoming expedition to Roselake’s hidden underground ruins. In addition to this, the oracle had requested they find an extra person within the town to accompany them and their endeavors led them to Ren Lockson, who was willing to take up the work as a mercenary.

After the expedition, The Toad Gang became involved with the murder of a local shopowner, tasking themselves with finding the murderer and clearing the name of Governor Bren Daxio. They have continued traveling together since then.

Oliver is the most recent member of the party, being called in by Ren to aid in the takedown of Valenwood's northern thieves guild, The Silver Ragdolls.

## Members

As mentioned before, there were originally three members, Oliver being the latest addition, replacing Ren Lockson for a short period time as he was handling a Kossuth side mission at the moment.

### Main Members

* Vivion Helendove
* Vladimir Galanodel
* Ren Lockson
* Oliver

## Roles

Ren and Oliver are the main damage dealers within the group, Vladimir playing a more mixed role of both support and damage dealing and Vivion leaning more towards utility and pure supporting abilities.

Outside of combat, both Ren and Vivion have proven their abilities as the group’s Faces, though it is to note that Ren’s techniques usually end up being more successful than Vivion's. Vladimir likes to act as the conscience of the group, balancing the others’ more chaotic behaviors and pushing to choose the kindest option. In addition, Ren has shown himself to be capable of managing Oliver’s more violent outbursts.

Ren can be considered the group’s treasurer, though this is mostly because he’s the one who gets paid the most, and redistributes the earnings amongst the other members.

Vivion also has a passing interest in potion-making.
