Party Roster
The Party Roster lists every player character in the recorded campaign — active, departed, and deceased — with quick links to per-PC entity files, players, race / class, sessions of activity, and current status. The active party at end of session 17 is Terry, Hugo, Caelumn, Mike, and Steven. Vasquez and Althea were retconned at the start of session 17 as captured by Aurelians at the end of session 16 and are departed offscreen — their players (Polar and Maliwana) left the table between sessions 16 and 17, and the rescue is not an active campaign arc. Three named PCs have died on-screen: Cholmondeley (s3), Harvo (s9), and Ruin (s15). One PC (Earthwing the Owlin) was a one-session cameo never actually played in combat.
Active party (end of session 17)

| Hugo | Dylan | Barbarian (Path of Bloodfury, custom) | s2-s17 | Real name Corvin; Project Veilbreak survivor; Voidforged (race named on-transcript first in [1]; Black Mask pact bearer; Onyx Ring of Barbed Hooks. Pact terms renegotiated s17 — second attack-dog clause; Black Mask claimed she could help with Hugo’s mind-control problem and spoke dismissively about the Ascendancy (exact reason unclear). |
| Caelumn | Toby | Sorcerer (Draconic Bloodline, exact dragon type unresolved) | s2-s17 | From Vhal’Zarim, former / rejected initiate of the Platinum Order. Carries a draconic bloodline tied to Bahamut’s flame. Holds Soulbinder’s Packed Ring (Maelis + 1 owlbear soul). Backpack including the Egg stolen s15. s17 highlight: double-nat-20 Chromatic Orb bounce kill for 52 damage on a water wolf [2]. |
| Mike | Brian | Vedalken cleric / druid / wizard (Mizzium Apparatus) | s17 | Joined s17. Blue-skinned, partially amphibious (1hr underwater breathing). Lawyer-brained. Refused Hugo’s Black Mask contract on three legal grounds; replaced with verbal “one wish, eventually” commitment [3]. |
| Steven | Ash | Halfling Fiend Warlock with Pact of the Blade | s17 | Joined s17. Olive complexion, 3'9", chubby, charlatan background. Already nightmare-bound by a previous unspecified pact [4]. |
Departed offscreen (captured per s17 retcon; not an active rescue arc)
| Character | Player | Race / Class | Sessions | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vasquez | Polar | Half-Demon (Elf), Fighter, Mage Slayer | s2-s16 | Originally half-elf; transformed by Mharos s9. Custom gunblade. Aurelian Plate Armour with Nullstone Runes re-engraved with adopted dwarf family crest. Hat of Disguise attuned s16 — destroyed in the s17 retcon escape [5]. Aliases: Bruise, Cruz. Captured by Aurelians at the s16 sewer mid-point per [6], L785. Departed offscreen — not expected to return. |
| Althea Stormsoro | Maliwana | White-scaled kobold cleric/paladin of the All Hammer | s15-s16 | Joined as Mordane’s replacement in s15. Silver-and-gold gorget with burning gem (significance still unrevealed). Captured by Aurelians at the s16 sewer mid-point per [6], L785. Departed offscreen — not expected to return. |
The s17 retcon is in-fiction; the real-world meta (the Polar and Maliwana departures between sessions 16 and 17) is documented in their respective player handle articles. The rescue is not a campaign arc — the characters are departed in the same category as the deceased PCs below, not pending recovery. See also the s16 Retcon block and the session 17 recap.
Former party members
| Character | Player | Race / Class | Sessions | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Earthwing the Owlin | Chris | Owlin (cameo) | s3 only | Departed | One-scene cameo at Cholmondeley’s funeral feast; never played in combat. Replaced by Terry. Name reused for Terry’s owl familiar. |
Former players (departed s17)
| Player | Last character | Sessions at table | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polar | Vasquez (s2-s16; captured in s16 retcon) | s2-s16 | Departed between sessions 16 and 17. See Polar for the DM’s Discord statement. |
| Maliwana | Althea Stormsoro (s15-s16; captured in s16 retcon) | s15-s16 | Departed between sessions 16 and 17. See Maliwana for the DM’s Discord statement. |
Deceased characters
| Character | Player | Race / Class | Sessions | Death | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cholmondeley | Chris | Human (variant) Paladin, Pure Light / Aurelian-aligned | s2-s3 | [7]; killed by the yuan-ti woman’s bite during the Sunset is Nigh lair fight. | Last words: “I hate you all.” Funeral at Wyrmbough Grove. |
| Harvalent Irsaron | Mordane | Half-elf Artificer | s2-s9 | [8]; decapitated by dominated Hugo’s hand-axe nat-20 crit. | Last words: “Well, fuck.” Pyre at Black Vein Quarry. Terry’s failed Rite of Returning at the funeral cost -1 CHA. |
| Ruin | Mordane | Tiefling Warlock | s10-s15 | [9]; decapitated by Aurelian chain-master in scripted execution (no save). | Body not recovered. No funeral. The execution doubled as the in-fiction send-off for Mordane’s removal from the table. |

Replacement-PC pattern
Across the campaign, Sevryn has filled three PC vacancies via the same pattern: a stranger walks into the camp / scene at the right moment, carrying a sealed letter or a Sevryn reference. The recipients are noted by date order:
- Earthwing the Owlin — appeared at Cholmondeley’s funeral feast, [10]. Replaced within a session (off-screen) by Terry.
- Terry — appeared at The Still Current Inn in Mirestrand, s4. Active continuously since.
- Ruin — appeared at Harvo’s pyre, [11], with a sealed letter from Sevryn.
Althea Stormsoro is the one PC who joined without explicit Sevryn recruitment — she fled into the party’s clearing in s15 pursued by an Aurelian patrol.
The s17 newcomers Mike and Steven are a fourth variant on the pattern: not Sevryn-recruited explicitly, but found clinging to wreckage of an Aurelian-sunk ship in the Sapphire Sea and pulled aboard the party’s skiff [12]. Whether Sevryn engineered the rescue (per Hugo’s in-character speculation, [13] is unconfirmed.
