But as a band they were something more, something perfect in its own intangible way.” “As individuals they were each of them fallible, discordant as notes without harmony. I loved that she was a bounty hunter, and I loved her path to redemption then deception. I have played a warlock in World of Warcraft for over ten years there was no way that this Daevas/Succubus wasn’t going to be my favorite character. ➽ Larkspur/Sabbatha, who wields Umbra – a scythe acquired from killing a very deadly foe. Ganelon has spent the last nineteen-years alone in captivity. ➽ Ganelon, who wields Syrinx – a massive battle axe made from the stuff of nightmares. Moog is living in a wizard tower, trying to find a cure to a deadly disease. ➽ Arcandius Moog, who carries a Bag of Holding – filled with a vast array of weapons, and a hat that conjures refreshments on a whim. Matrick is now a King and in a very unhappy and unfaithful marriage. ➽ Matrick/Matty Skulldrummer, who dual wields Roxy and Grace – now royal daggers. Gabe hasn’t made the best choices in life, but now is in the dire need for help. ➽ Gabriel/Golden Gabe, who wields Vellichor – a sword that is much more powerful than humanly imaginable. Clay is working on the Watch, and is happy with his simple life as a husband and father. ➽ Clay Cooper/Slowhand, who wields Blackheart – a wooden shield made from a very famous battle with a Treant. Not only do they have a reputation that precedes them, they also have some pretty legendary weapons. Yet, even though they are older, slower, and softer, they all did their fair share of leveling up and did an even bigger share of killing dangerous monsters in their pasts. This mercenary band, Saga, was once the greatest band in all of the five kingdoms of Grandual, but after almost twenty years of no longer adventuring, the members find themselves a little older, much slower, and, for the sake of kindness, their bodies a lot softer. And these towns are filled with, and surrounded by, every type of fantasy creature and monster that you could ever wish for: Centaurs, Treants, Owlbears, Direwolves, Ogres, Goblins, Kobolds, Gorgons, Wyverns, Chimeras, Gnolls, Harpies, Daevas/Succubus, Trolls, Cannibals, Dragons, Phoenixes, Gremlins, Giants, Slimes, Nymphs, Blood Eaters/Vampires, Moonies, Rakshas, Shifters, Golems, Gargoyles, Demons, Death Knights, Minotaurs, Cyclops, and so much more. This is such a beautifully crafted adventuring mission that surrounds a charming band of mercenaries, as they travel from town to town, on foot or sky ship, prepping for what is likely to be their last tour.
