Roger's Guard

Roger's Guard is an adventurer's organization, originally founded by a human named — you guessed it — Roger. Based in Rogerton, the jurisdiction of Roger's Guard extends for several kilometres east and west of the city, as well as in general to the north (there not being an abundance of urban centres farther north than Rogerton to bristle at this claim), with its southernmost boundaries ending around Red Deer.

The purpose of Roger's Guard is twofold: to provide an association for adventurers in the area that allows them access to resources and a steady flow of work, and to protect those who live within its jurisdiction by sending off adventurers to deal with any problems that arise. How helpful Roger's Guard is varies depending on what problem you have and how far from Rogerton you are — as one might imagine, an organization staffed primarily by adventurers, primarily to facilitate adventuring, is not necessarily as well-organized and fastidious as others might be. Is your town being besieged by a dragon? Great! They'll be right there. Are you looking for logistical support to ensure steady delivery of necessary supplies to make it through the winter despite adverse weather conditions? They will definitely consider sending someone to help you out with that maybe!

As Gulo can attest, having had the only family he's ever known wiped out by Roger's Guard members and angry miners, the justice the Guard exacts can often be disproportionate to the crime.

## Notable Members

### Wanangwa Abrey

One of the Roger's Guard members who helped carry off Sam and Piotr's charade to help free Rorrik; seems to be an ally of Sam's in whatever illicit business she carries out.

### Elfrieda Chad

Roger's Regent in Red Deer; a perpetually tired werewolf.

### Ravid Gauthier

One of the Roger's Guard members who helped carry off Sam and Piotr's charade to help free Rorrik; seems to be an ally of Sam's in whatever illicit business she carries out.

### Gin

The bestest half-orc herbo in the world. Elfrieda's second-in-command, responsible for mail delivery around town. Could read all your letters but doesn't.

### Greexuek

A goblin, largely based in Red Deer, who was called in to assist with babysitting our wayward heroes when they made Falk cranky.

### Martin Jones

One of the Roger's Guard members who helped carry off Sam and Piotr's charade to help free Rorrik; seems to be an ally of Sam's in whatever illicit business she carries out. Had to patiently explain to our heroes that he would like not to end up in jail because of their shenanigans, thanks.

### Avery Kennedy

A teutonic-looking nonbinary Guard member who had a very unpleasant time babysitting our wayward heroes and who would probably leave them dead in a ditch given the opportunity.

### Vosgi Lapointe

The Guard member who ended up in a stand-off with our heroes after they tried to impede Rorrik's belongings being picked up for delivery to the temple while he was in custody.

### Theodard Longhole

The handsomest, wisest, best guide in the whole wide world. Fearsome hunter. Tender lover. Jack of all trades and also their master. Great hair.

### Falk Mistsplitter

A high-ranking Guard member from Rogerton, Falk was sent to Red Deer to investigate the operations of the Mephistopheles cult and to evaluate Elfrieda's suitability to continue in her position as Roger's Regent there. Brash, boastful, and temperamental as all hell, Falk did not take kindly to our heroes and their backtalk.

### Moyrkus Smith

The true hero of this story. A one-man library. None of us deserve the pureness of his heart. <3

### Caitriona Wilson

A senior Roger's Guard member and Vosgi's superior, who came to investigate following his report of our heroes' attempt at hiding some of Rorrik's things. Much more level-headed than Falk, Caitriona worked with Elfrieda to clear our heroes' names and help get them out of Red Deer.

### Zohal

One of our heroes, a half-elf who found herself unexpectedly in Ki earlier this year and has been making the best of the situation ever since.
