Black Pyramid Adventurers

A group of four adventurers that set up a tourist spot at the Tomb of Sati the Everlasting. They consist of Modifto Highblade, a dashing skaven bard; Mooneye Groinkicker, a cheerful goblin tinkerer; Tharzek Hollowwanger, a brooding dwarven mutant; and Kruk the Death-touched, an orc necromancer with a skeletal left forearm.

Bonnie Woodworker and Guzzle Treecutter

A pair of halfling cousins returning to Mercato with the team. Part of an entwood heist perpetrated by Grabit and Smiley.

Bounce Biddy

A wasteland fairie mailwoman that rides on a miniature pogo stick.

Cess

Cess's mother comes from a line tracing itself back to a primacer free of the diaspora mental limitations, her great-grandfather, though only a portion of his descendents inherited his lack of limitation due to them intermingling with ogres who weren't so fortunate. Cess, like her mother, was one lucky enough to inherit this freedom, and was taught what she knew of ogre primacy. When Cess's village was conquered by a band of marauders, she was separated from her family, but expects they are likely dead.

She worked as a war engineer and architect in the far eastern badlands when the army employing her came across the outskirts of Ul’s territory. After an encounter with insects both small and large, identifiable as the products of primacy, she set out to find what she could, which ultimately led her to the trade in fragmented bone and through that Smash.

Over time on their shared adventures, Cess and Smash became close and eventually married.

She has a snotling familiar named Iggy.

Warductor Metashok
