Bimpnottin's Task Force

Bimpnottin's Task Force were the first major Errant party after the Age of Titans, Bimpnottin himself would regularly take responsibility for the positive actions of the party without the other members stopping or correcting him, and as such, became the face of the party, for better or for worse. Their methods of accomplishing the tasks they set out to complete were... questionable to say in the least, they committed numerous crimes and downright immoral acts that were largely unpunished. It was because of this that the Guild Errant was formed, so that the adventuring parties to come could not get away with such things.

The party was most well known for allying with Seishin, the great spirit of the forest surrounding Irontown, and their crusade then eventual assassination against the town's leader, Patience St. Pim, which followed because of their alliance. Immediately after the assassination; Gordon, Rork, and Bairn would charter a boat and travel West, never to be seen by Amaref or its inhabitants again.

This boat would not get far however, as once Amaref was just out of view, strangers speaking a strange language would teleport onto the ship, intending to rob them for everything they had. The three fought back and split the giant man's head in half, which he laughed off, and told them they were worthy to fight alongside him and his men and teleported them to his home continent: Gelida. The party wanted nothing to do with this foreign war, so they snuck away the next day and stole a longship.

The three had no way to know what direction to sail in, and zero experience in seafaring, so they then picked a random direction and began sailing, using create food and water, and mending as needed. This continued for a maddening five and a half years, eventually landing on the shore of Khan the inhabitants of which were not fond of outsiders to their land. So the party sought to prove themselves by eliminating major sources of evil in the land. But lost a member after doing so with the other two ending their lives soon after for their own reasons.

## The Party

### Gordon LeGoop

150 AG -

A Myconid Druid of noble caste from the Myconid kingdom of Yorpministan. Before Gordon encountered the party, he had traveled for some time, and being that his true name is unpronounceable by non-Myconids, he was dubbed Gordon LeGoop due to his affinity to slimes and oozes. In his travels, Gordon had a revelation on the circle of life, discovering not only that death is a part of life, but life can spring from death as well. As such, he believed that death should be celebrated just as life is, and sought to spread his revelation to whomever he could. But the reason of his travels was to create new colonies of Myconids, so he also spread his spores in any location where they could take.

The party's travels brought them back to Gordon's hometown of Yorpministan. There they discovered that the current Sovereign, Cubensis, was deathly ill under mysterious circumstances. Normally, the colony would select a new Sovereign unanimously as a hive mind, that selection was Muscaria. However, another contender who had not been taking place in the colony's mind meld for some time, Phalloides, believed that they would be better suited for the role. Muscaria would see to it that Cubensis' legacy would continue, whereas Phalloides believed the Myconid's peacefulness would be their downfall. Confronted with a non-unanimous decision, an unprecedented situation to the Myconids, progress within the colony was brought to a complete standstill. After confronting Phalloides, the party discovered that it had communed with a demon, which had planted something within the Myconid. Initially turning to violence, the party recalled that the Myconids could mind meld with them and see past any deception they laid, so the party had Phalloides mind meld with the rest of the colony to explain itself. After doing so, the majority of the colony voted for Muscaria, but some saw the method to Phalloides madness. So it was decided that those who wished to follow Muscaria would go to the Shelter the party had discovered within Seizan's forest, while those who sided with Phalloides would remain in the more dangerous Yorpministan.

## The Untimely

### Kurt of Bane

141 AG - 162 AG

A Satyr Bard and grand nephew to the King of Daturia at the time. Kurt cared not for his royal lineage, instead wishing to play music reminiscent of that which was played in the old world. The new sound was generally disliked, though this did not discourage him, the inverse was the truth, he only delved deeper into his music. This did lead him down a path of debauchery and drug use, because of which he was pushed away by his family until he could stand it no longer and left Daturia, traveling to Terrestria where he encountered the other members of the party.

The group's travels took them back to Daturia, where they discovered a secret plot in motion, a group of doppelgangers was seeking to replace the members of the royal family one by one. The party rooted out and killed two of the doppelgangers, driving the others away, even then Kurt's family showed little to no thankfulness or even acknowledgement for his saving their lineage, merely rewarding them and driving them off. This only increased and cemented Kurt's resentment, so he returned to Terrestria to make a name for himself.

But Kurt would leave for Terrestria alone. Kurt slipped away from the other members of his party and traveled all across Terrestria, seeking an audience that would actually appreciate his music. But no matter how far he traveled, he could not escape Jericho, a vengeful revenant created from the corpse of a human slaver who regarded Kurt as a friend due to a spell Kurt had cast on him before killing him. After being hunted by Jericho day after day, Kurt could no longer live peacefully, he had to constantly look over his shoulder and never got a full night's sleep. The stress took it's toll, and Jericho got his hands on an Old World weapon capable of launching multiple projectiles from one contained explosion, then turned it on himself. Though his life ended, his legacy did not, before he did this, he acquired a simple magic item capable of storing sound so that it can be heard again. On this item, he stored the sound of his final performance, a single song played by Kurt and his lute, withdrawing from several different drugs, driven half insane by paranoia, alone in a dark room in an unfamiliar land and yet, he was relieved. This song was recovered only days after Kurt's death, and quickly grew in popularity, as it was adopted by several bards to be played in various taverns across the continent, and the magic item itself was replicated so that it could be heard as played by Kurt himself. The influence of this song can also be seen in much of the music that came after. Kurt's popularity would never be known to him, due to it's posthumous nature, and it is a topic for debate as to whether the song's popularity comes from it's quality, or it's history.

### Bimpnottin Timbers

136 AG - 162 AG

A Deep Gnome Sorcerer from Irontown, or to be more accurate, an ex-slave of Irontown. Slavery is forbidden within Irontown, but this did not stop some slavers residing in the town from owning slaves and working them in mines outside Irontown without Pim's knowing. Bimpnottin was one such slave, and as a diligent and quiet worker, he soon earned the respect of the slave master, who recognized that Bimpnottin possessed latent magical abilities. Out of respect for Bimpnottin, or perhaps fear of his developing magical ability, the slave master brought Bimpnottin before a respected Warlock within Irontown, who helped to hone Bimpnottin's magic. This warlock was also a hobbyist brewer, and taught Bimpnottin the hobby, which he quickly grew to enjoy. Because of this Bimpnottin joined Irontown's Brewing Guild and soon rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the treasurer. However it was soon discovered that much of the Guild's funds were being "misplaced" once this was discovered, Bimpnottin determined it was about time to leave Irontown.

Though none of this information was actually shared with the other party members. Upon returning to Irontown in order to use the poison they had concocted to kill Pim, they took a route that led them through the mine that Bimpnottin was once enslaved to, here they found the slave master burned to nothing with an acid, and a pile of slave corpses. Bimpnottin only looted the matching shoe to the one he had stole previously and said nothing. Then at the gates of Irontown, he was declared guilty of two counts of murder and captured for execution while the other party members stood idly by.

### Xios Longtooth

87 AG - ? AG

A Leonin Barbarian who fought against the dragons in his prime during The Age of Titans, then went into retirement when that age came to an end, decades later, this peace came to an end when his village was raided, his family killed, and he was captured by Orks. The same Ork klan that Rork was once from.

Xios was "saved" from Rork's Ork klan by Rork, who had killed the slave runner for his belongings in Ork tradition. Xios was granted his freedom seemingly at random from amongst the ten captured, the others were treated as fodder by Rork until they escaped in the chaos of an ambush by a tribe of Humans within the surrounding forest.

Xios tagged along with the party partially because he had no where else to go, but mostly because this party would lead him to danger, the type that could bring him a warrior's death via combat, which he desired so deeply. During the assassination of Pim, Xios was momentarily knocked unconscious, upon being healed by Pim, he immediately attacked Pim, unaware that she had conceded. After turning his back to leave, he was impaled by Rork's sword, who was enraged that Xios claimed a kill he believed to be rightly his. He was healed once again by Gordon shortly after, evading the death he sought once again. Unable to travel with someone who had quite literally stabbed them in the back, Xios parted ways with the group and traveled alone.

### Bairn Goldfinder

107 AG - 168 AG

A Dwarf Rogue who joined the party just before the party's assassination of Pim and her advisors. Bairn was raised on the continent of Eurafrasia, as one of the only Dwarves on the continent, he and his family and clan lived as nomads traveling to whatever they didn't have enough of and, usually, stealing it. When the actions of his clan caught up with them, Bairn escaped to Amaref, where he joined a group of thieves near Irontown. But Bairn proved to be more skilled than the others, who only wished to steal only what they needed, so he moved along, in his travels he gained a bounty on his head from Irontown, which is how the party found him.

During the assassination of Pim, Bairn fell from the rafters and drove a dagger into one of the advisors' neck, killing them instantly and largely turning the assassination into their favor. But while fighting a giant skeleton within Khan, Bairn was picked up by the creature and decapitated by its' bite. The party attempted to resurrect him, but to no avail, Bairn's soul was unwilling to return to his body.

### Rork Nim

144 AG - 168 AG

A Half-Ork Paladin who's power is granted to them by Senescence. Much of Rork's past was forgotten to him he could not remember where he came from, why he was regarded as a hero, or how he attained the power that he wields, worse yet, he does not know why these memories have been lost to him.

While traveling with the party, their travels led to Rork's home clan. While there, Rork did little to unveil his past, leaving it to remain a mystery until Pim's assassination. During which, Xios landed the killing blow on Pim, which had enraged Rork, causing him to drive his sword through Xios' back. It was at this moment that Rork's mind was flooded with memories of his past, he was no hero, he was a serial killer, cruel even among the Ork's standards. He remembered that he had been sentenceed to death, but an order of Paladins serving under Senescence claimed that even he could be rehabilitated and gave him an option: swear an oath to Senescence, or accept his punishment of execution. Naturally Rork accepted the prior, and upon swearing the oath, all his memories prior were lost to him, but the moment he took a life for an unjust reason, the paladins would be made aware, and would track him down in order to hand deliver his execution.

While escaping his executioners, Rork would bring the party from Amaref to Gelida to Eurafrasia, and finally, to Khan. It was here that Rork would intentionally ingest a black goop-like substance, believing that it would grant him strength, which it did, but at a price.
