Shadow of the Ancients / Run 009 / Setup

Cast

Halie

Cleric

Halie is a weary human cleric driven by compassion and moral conviction to hold her adventuring group together. She speaks with measured authority, her gentle face belying a core of stubborn resolve. Halie's holy symbol serves as both faith and focus in the face of ancient evil, especially when allies must navigate cursed gates and eldritch bindings.

Jeane

Sorcerer

Jeane Cromwell, the Demon Sorceress: Pale-skinned and winged, Jeane is a tall, aristocratic succubus with long white hair and crimson eyes. Her dark leathery wings and voluptuous build command attention as she moves in her black-and-crimson occult attire. Dangerous and controlled, Jeane values loyalty and occult power above all else. She joined the adventure to reclaim an ancient tower's secrets and expand her magical influence.

Merrin

Rogue

Merrin Quickstep is a wiry halfling scout and lockbreaker who moves with cautious energy and a mischievous smile that fades fast under pressure. Observant, nervous, clever, she looks for traps, exits, hidden motives, and profitable opportunities, but isn't heartless. Speaking quickly and lightly, Merrin masks her fear with jokes when the darkness presses too close.

Seraphine

Wizard

Seraphine is a sharp-eyed female elf scholar of forbidden histories. Curious yet analytical, proud but quietly afraid of what ancient magic can cost, she seeks knowledge for magical advantage while recognizing some powers are prisons wearing crowns. She speaks with precise, elegant restraint, choosing her words like spell components, and has a refined bearing marked by travel and sleepless study.

Varrika

Fighter

Varrika Thornwake is a battle-scarred dwarf warrior who has seen her share of danger. Pragmatic and slow to trust anything ancient or magical, she speaks in blunt sentences often seasoned with dry battlefield wisdom. Though grim by nature, Varrika's loyalty to her companions is unquestionable. She will put herself between them and harm without hesitation, but never mistakes bravery for foolishness.
