Characters

Brother Todd

Todd is the youngest of the tailors and a Runekeeper initiate whose world is turned upside down when one of the others turns up dead.  He takes it upon himself to master the SpellCaster and seek out the remaining Runekeepers, who may be in similar danger.

Lorms

With a shady past and an unusually keen interest in the SpellCaster, Lorms claims he was transformed into a big blue tunk by a wayward word, but Todd suspects he may have something to hide.

The Hunter

A self-sufficient tracker who'll shoot you as soon as look at you, she's tangled with the spellborn and has a nasty scar to prove it.

The Bard

Just ... forget it.  If we give him a write-up, he'll probably break into an obnoxious song about it.  The less said about the Bard, the better.

The Barkeep

Resident gossip-monger at the Rusty Bucket, the Barkeep will serve you up anything that's to your liking, so long as your liking is throat-searing homemade hooch.

The Merchant

A trader of knicks, knacks, and the odd tchotchke, the Merchant wheels his wares around in a salvaged popcorn machine outside the New Mound city limits.

Tim Spooky

The most ancient resident anyone knows, Tim Spooky made his name mining in the Once, before permanently retiring to a chair on the stoop of the Rusty Bucket.

Father Carl

The wisest and kindest of the Runekeepers, Brother Carl is the key to understanding the SpellCaster's mysteries ... if only Todd could find him!
