| 9 | [[folder:Party as a Whole]] |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * ActionGirl: With a party of 5 women, this trope applies to varying degrees, but Rhen probably fits it the most |
| 12 | * AntiHeroTeam: Aster being the main exception |
| 13 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Most of the party in some way |
| 14 | ** [[spoiler: All of the party.]] |
| 15 | ** The gods take advantage of this with Theia and Hope |
| 16 | * DarkSecret: DM encouraged all players to come up with dark secrets about their characters that only they know. Plays heavily into the overarcing plot. |
| 17 | * DeadpanSnarker: The party has various amount of snark |
| 18 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Most members are relatively new to adventuring. They quickly become stuck to each other because they have no chance otherwise |
| 19 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: An inverted example, where Aster is the only male |
| 20 | * SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: From Idealistic to Cynical |
| 21 | ** Aster |
| 22 | ** Rhen |
| 23 | ** Hope |
| 24 | ** Jaima |
| 25 | ** Ari |
| 26 | ** Theia |
| 27 | * TrueCompanions: Working on it. [[spoiler: Getting better after Theia opens up]] |
| 28 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: Sometimes the party is its own worst enemy |
| 29 | |

| 32 | [[folder:Aletheia "Theia" Ondolire[[spoiler:/Barnes/Caemian]]]] |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ->''(Gives an ugly (stolen) statue to Calypso the Sphinx) “It’s modern art.”'' |
| 35 | ->[[spoiler: "'Talking to you as an equal is the only way I can show I respect you'"]] |
| 36 | |
| 37 | The half-elf bard. Mysterious, dignified, and unpredictable, Theia almost always acts for her own benefit. Though relatively new to Yale City, Theia has quickly developed a network of awed peers and infatuated nobles. Yet, she tells so many lies, one has to wonder if she believes them herself. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | * AloofAlly: Initially reluctant to join in on the team's plans, claiming, for example, that she had a date when the rest of the team planned to investigate the Bronze Rat Tavern. Seems to be coming around, however. |
| 40 | * TheBard |
| 41 | * BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Theia outploys Caemian |
| 42 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished |
| 43 | * Brainwashed: Very minorly. The orb is compelling her to visit the location in her visions |
| 44 | ** The orb almost makes her touch it in the penultimate battle, but she is blasted away by Hope's water |
| 45 | * CharacterDevelopment: Several instances, some genuine, some not |
| 46 | ** In session 4, appeared to be opening herself up the rest of the party about her past |
| 47 | *** [[spoiler: Not actually her true history and a bit of a sympathy ploy, but at least it makes the party feel closer for a bit.]] |
| 48 | ** Selflessly gives gold to the bandits that attacked the party and opened up to Hope |
| 49 | ** Actually cares for the party at the end. Attacks Hope to stop her and makes sure she's okay |
| 50 | * TheCasanova who ReallyGetsAround: Labels aren't her thing though |
| 51 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Keeping Rhen focused |
| 52 | * ChildOfTwoWorlds |
| 53 | ** A bit of Theia's childhood was shown by Vecna. She lived with her parent in a small house |
| 54 | ** Common human mother, noble elf father |
| 55 | * CombatPragmatist |
| 56 | ** Likes using flammable oil with a simple prestidigitation spell |
| 57 | * ConsummateLiar: With both the important and the mundane |
| 58 | ** Tends not to lie to Rhen. |
| 59 | * ConvenientlyUnverifiableCoverStory |
| 60 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Theia's dinner with Andy Starwind |
| 61 | ** Her journey into the labyrinth with Rhen |
| 62 | * EarWorm: Theia's songs can get stuck in Hope's head. |
| 63 | ** Hope humming Theia's mandolin rendition of "Dirty Little Secrets" greatly amused Seth |
| 64 | * HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Noble elf and lowly human]] |
| 65 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: Theia experiments with the obviously evil Orb of Vecna, but she was trying to gather information to help the party. |
| 66 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: Emphasizes her eccentricities and elf heritage. Contrast with Hope's IJustWantToBeNormal |
| 67 | * ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Has a cloak that can magically create holes and dogs, among other things. Unfortunately, it's so unstylish. |
| 68 | * IronicName: Aletheia literally means "truth" |
| 69 | * IShallTauntYou: Frequently fights using "vicious mockery" |
| 70 | * HeroicBastard |
| 71 | * HeroicNeutral: One of Theia's end goals is to be left alone. At least from all these gods and politics |
| 72 | * HiddenDepths |
| 73 | ** Theia isn't easily tempted by Vecna's offer of immortality, but it could just be due to the potential drawbacks |
| 74 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: Deliberately hides the fact that she gives enough money to the bandits to pay off their debts |
| 75 | ** She tries to use the Orb of Vecna to help fix her friends' problems |
| 76 | ** Tells the party that Hope was lying for her, and after a talk, offers Hope a place to stay |
| 77 | ** Wakes up early and makes breakfast for the party |
| 78 | * KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Armour is uncouth and unstylish |
| 79 | * LeaningOnTheFurniture: Notably she puts her feet up on the table. Theia tends to dominate the spaces she is in. |
| 80 | * LetsMockTheMonsters: Vicious mockery |
| 81 | * MagicMusic: She also plays mundane music for Mufasa tavern |
| 82 | * [[spoiler: NouveauRiche]] |
| 83 | ** [[spoiler: Or at least that's one of her cover stories. In actuality, her father's aristocracy, her mother's a commoner, and she doesn't seem to have much money, so probably not really an example of this trope.]] |
| 84 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: When she gets honest]] |
| 85 | * OddFriendship: With Rhen, considering their demeanor and backgrounds |
| 86 | ** Continues to become odder as it is revealed how close they are |
| 87 | ** [[spoiler: Turns out they were secret childhood friends all along]] |
| 88 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Theia seems to start out this way. [[spoiler: She actually wants to build legitimacy and notoriety for her fake nobility]] |
| 89 | * PetTheDog: Gives gold to the bandits that attacked the party. |
| 90 | * PowerAtAPrice: Not very well defined by Vecna |
| 91 | * PragmaticHero: Flirts between pragmatic and selfish sometimes |
| 92 | * TheRockStar: In her own mind if nothing else |
| 93 | ** One of her last moments in the campaign is playing an enrapturing experimental song |
| 94 | * QuirkyBard: Well done example. Theia balances quirky and serious |
| 95 | * SafetyInIndifference: Theia seems not to care about issues that don't directly affect her, but is this out of true indifference or cynicism about caring? |
| 96 | * SecretKeeper: For Rhen |
| 97 | * ShipperOnDeck: Has notes on party member sexualities for ''reasons'' |
| 98 | * [[spoiler: SmallNameBigEgo]] |
| 99 | * SticksToTheBack: For tactical and personal reasons |
| 100 | * TrashTalk: Theia's basic method of attack |
| 101 | * TroubledBackstoryFlashback: Vecna gives some insight into Theia's past |
| 102 | * RefusalOfTheCall: Theia sometimes needs to be dragged to start an adventure, but will quickly start running with it |
| 103 | ** Seems pretty eager to refuse Vecna's offer of immortality |
| 104 | * UnreliableExpositor: Has difficulty identifying magic objects |
| 105 | * WasItAllALie: A question in everyone's mind when she reveals something about herself |
| 106 | * WeNeedADistraction: Theia's speciality |
| 107 | ** Tried to distract the guards of Sterling by saying someone else was attacking |
| 108 | [[/folder]] |

| 111 | |
| 112 | ->''“I would generally rather avoid people with glowy red swords.”'' |
| 113 | ->[[spoiler:'"What's the damage like? Are people okay?"']] |
| 114 | |
| 115 | The human wizard. She's a noblewoman with a rather large gambling debt owned by an "asshole elf noble", as the party calls him. |
| 116 | |
| 117 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl |
| 118 | %%zce* BigSisterInstinct: Especially around Jaima |
| 119 | * BlueBlood |
| 120 | * BoringButPractical: Spends a lot of time casting Detect Magic |
| 121 | * BrainyBrunette |
| 122 | * BrilliantButLazy: A talented Wizard, but didn't put that much effort into school |
| 123 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: Gets drunk very fast after hearing that Tris will be king |
| 124 | * CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler: Slowly realizing to not play with fire. Literally and metaphorically]] |
| 125 | ** Jaima helps Ari realize that she needs to tell her sister about what's wrong |
| 126 | * TheComicallySerious |
| 127 | * CoolBigSis: Does a lot to care for her sister |
| 128 | * DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: Exchanged her gambling debt with favours to a corrupt noble]] |
| 129 | * DefrostingIceQueen |
| 130 | * DirtyBusiness: [[spoiler: She ends up helping her sister in ways the crown can't approve of explicitly]] |
| 131 | * {{Familiar}}: Ari's weasel, Perspicacity or "Percy" |
| 132 | * {{Fireballs}} |
| 133 | * {{Foil}}: To Jaima's rough demeanor. Leads to...disagreements |
| 134 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Much more of a party girl than her sister |
| 135 | * TheGamblingAddict |
| 136 | * GentlemanWizard |
| 137 | * GlassCannon |
| 138 | * GoodBadGirl |
| 139 | * HardDrinkingPartyGirl: It's implied she spent relatively little time in college actually studying. |
| 140 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: Ari's deal to keep her sister protected]] |
| 141 | * IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer |
| 142 | ** Mentioned when Theia went out of her way to befriend her sister (knowing Theia, to potentially dubious ends). Ari gave her mad shade |
| 143 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: Ari is very surprised when she nails a bandit in the head with the hilt of her dagger. |
| 144 | * ImpoverishedPatrician: Is adventuring to earn enough money for her sister to maintain their family's estate |
| 145 | * KillItWithFire[=/=]KillItWithIce: Ari's elemental spells of choice |
| 146 | **Ari and Theia's oil+fire spell combo is particularly devastating |
| 147 | * LightemUp |
| 148 | * MySisterIsOffLimits |
| 149 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Tries to support her sister, but ends up getting into a bigger mess |
| 150 | * NotAMorningPerson: Compared to the rest of the party |
| 151 | * NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught |
| 152 | * PlayingWithFire: Her preferred method of attack. |
| 153 | * {{Protectorate}}: To her sister. Even keeping the truth of the situation from her |
| 154 | * PowerCrystal |
| 155 | * SquishyWizard |
| 156 | * SpellBook |
| 157 | * TrappedByGamblingDebts |
| 158 | ** Note that this doesn't stop her from continuing to gamble |

| 162 | [[folder:Aster Bumbleflick and Puppy]] |
| 163 | -> ''"I want to ride it!"'' |
| 164 | -> [[spoiler: '"Are you sure you're okay?"']] |
| 165 | The halfling paladin. He thinks he's intimidating. People are just running from the hungry mastiff right behind him. |
| 166 | |
| 167 | * ABoyAndHisX: [[spoiler: Aster became a paladin after saving Puppy from bullies]] |
| 168 | * AdorablyPrecociousChild: Aster is only 15, but has a lot of responsibility |
| 169 | * AnimalBattleAura: In the final battle, he is surrounded by the aura of a lion. |
| 170 | * AttackAnimal |
| 171 | * BadassAdorable |
| 172 | * BadLiar: {{Subverted}}. While one would think that Aster couldn't lie, he's actually quite competent at it, if the reasons are just |
| 173 | * BerserkButton: Don't hurt Puppy |
| 174 | ** Aster is growing increasingly frustrated with the party's lies |
| 175 | * BewareTheNiceOnes |
| 176 | * BigFriendlyDog: Emphasis on big |
| 177 | * BlackAndWhiteMorality |

| 179 | * BrattyHalfPint: Others' view of him |
| 180 | * BullyHunter: Primary motivation |
| 181 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: According to the [=DM=], Aster would get drunk after about one tall drink |
| 182 | * CheerfulChild |
| 183 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Most likely a terminal case |
| 184 | ** His outlook compels him to fix others' problems. This comes into conflict with Hope's desire to fix her own problems by herself |
| 185 | * [[CoolHorse Cool Dog]]: Aster rides Puppy as a mount |
| 186 | * CuddleBug: Aster is always ready to hug a distraught party member |
| 187 | * DualWielding |
| 188 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Aster's carefree attitude causes others to disregard his actual competence and abilities |
| 189 | * FluffyTheTerrible: Puppy is a large and at times intimidating mastiff. His name is literally Puppy. |
| 190 | * ForGreatJustice |
| 191 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Dogs, bears, and mini gryphons all seem to love Aster |
| 192 | * GoldenSnitch: Aster has a literal one. |
| 193 | * TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin |

| 197 | * HeroWorship: A little bit with Bjorn |
| 198 | * [[{{Hobbits}} Halfling]] |

| 200 | * InterspeciesAdoption: Taken in by the human Bjorn, despite not being an actual orphan |
| 201 | * LightEmUp: His holy infused banishing of the demon was particularly impressive use of holy magic |
| 202 | * KidHero |
| 203 | * KnightInShiningArmour: Aster fights bullies and protects the innocent |
| 204 | * MoralityChain |
| 205 | ** Hope tries to make him promise to kill her if she becomes evil. He agrees to intervene |

| 207 | * MundaneUtility: Aster uses Speak with Animals to chat up Puppy |
| 208 | * OneSizeFitsAll: Aster has a shield that literally changes size |
| 209 | * ThePaladin |
| 210 | ** Aster's ability to detect evil allows him to discover Bjorn's secret |
| 211 | * PaperThinDisguise: Aster's red hair. Justified in that Aster wasn't trying to hide from Rag just other agents |
| 212 | * ParentalAbandonment: PlayedWith. Was mistaken for an orphan by his mentor, but actually has a loving mom |
| 213 | * ParentalSubstitute: Bjorn. Despite not being an orphan |
| 214 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: As is to be expected of a halfling |
| 215 | * TheTalk: Aster has yet to receive The Talk from Bjorn. Hope offers to give him the religious version of TheTalk. Theia offers the talk with Minor Illusion for diagrams |
| 216 | * TeamPet: Puppy and/or Aster |
| 217 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal |
| 218 | * SquareRaceRoundClass: Bucks the usual Halfing Rogue Archetype |
| 219 | * UndyingLoyalty |
| 220 | * WalkingTheEarth: Wandered and trained with Bjorn |

| 222 | [[/folder]] |

| 224 | [[folder:Failarhen “Rhen” Miyatal]] |
| 225 | ->''"A date is when two people drink wine together I think."'' |
| 226 | ->[[spoiler: '"This is it. I found it"']] |
| 227 | The wood elf rogue. Instead of just taking objects, she swaps them. A ring for a pretty feather, a candle for a magical orb. The party no longer trusts her with plot [[MacGuffin MacGuffins.]] |
| 228 | |
| 229 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Only when Rhen isn't being serious |
| 230 | * BackStab |
| 231 | * BewareTheSillyOnes |
| 232 | * ConstantlyCurious |
| 233 | * CloudCuckoolander: Rhen can be serious when she wants to, but this is her default state |
| 234 | ** This caused her quite the problem when Rhen accidently [[spoiler: stole a major magical artifact of her people]] |
| 235 | * [[spoiler:TheCuckoolanderWasRight]]: Rhen thought she saw an extinct Drow. [[spoiler:And she was right]] |
| 236 | * CombatPragmatist: Rarely gets into an up-front fight |
| 237 | * CombatParkour: Rhen's preferred method of fighting. Especially prominent in session 5 when she flips onto the bandit captain's shoulders. |
| 238 | ** Dives from the wall and knocks Lamora prone with lightning daggers |
| 239 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: It's a mistake to take her Cloudcuckoolander attitude lightly |
| 240 | * DrunkenMaster |
| 241 | * TheExile: From the forest. Compare to Hope |
| 242 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Subverted. Despite Rhen loving animals, animals don't love Rhen |
| 243 | * HumanPackMule: Thanks to the bag |
| 244 | * InTheHood |
| 245 | * KleptomaniacHero: PlayedWith. Rhen usually does not take objects out of greed but rather momentary interest, and swaps the new items with random ones in her bag |
| 246 | **The dragon's name for her implies being a Thief is an important part of her identity |
| 247 | **Rhen's secret is that she [[spoiler: stole the ring of her people accidentally. She gave it back, but the damage was done]] |
| 248 | * LuckBasedMission |
| 249 | ** [[spoiler: Not knowing where the ring would be or when it was last seen, Rhen's mission to find it is heavily dependent on luck]] |
| 250 | * MakingASplash: The ring has teh ability to control water |
| 251 | * MoralityPet: To Theia. |
| 252 | ** Rhen is really hesitant about Theia using the orb |
| 253 | * MsExposition: Rhen tells Hope all about the forest in her own Cloudcuckoolander way |
| 254 | * NatureHero: Experienced with the forest and prefers to sleep under the stars |
| 255 | ** She becomes really confused when Theia wants to buy a house and live indoors |
| 256 | * OddFriendship: With Theia, considering their demeanor and backgrounds |
| 257 | ** Even odder by being the only one Theia seems to trust |
| 258 | * TheOnlyOneITrust: Only Theia seems to know about Rhen's history |
| 259 | * RoofHopping: Favourite passtime |
| 260 | * TheSneakyGuy |
| 261 | * StealthExpert: Even moreso with the Hide Armor of Hiding. |
| 262 | * TattooedCrook: Rhen has a tattoo on her wrist and she is a thief, but otherwise doesn't play into this trope. |
| 263 | * WideEyedIdealist |
| 264 | ** Rhen seems to think that giving the other ring back to her people will redeem her. There is absolutely no guarantee to this |
| 265 | * YouCantGoHomeAgain |
| 266 | [[/folder]] |
| 267 | |
| 268 | [[folder:Hope/[[spoiler: Vaermina Poisonheart]]]] |
| 269 | ->'"I love this place. I'd do anything to protect Yale City."' |
| 270 | ->[[spoiler:'"Aster, pretend I was evil. What would you have to do?"']] |
| 271 | |
| 272 | Protector of the poor and the underprivileged, Hope strives to be all the good that the teachings of Dol Arrah promote. She is fiercely protective of the rest of the party, yet also relies on them to fight the battles she faces. But, not everything is completely clear with her. |
| 273 | |
| 274 | * BadLiar: Hope tells a terrible lie, but Theia covers for her |
| 275 | * BadPowersBadPeople: [[spoiler: Averted. Hope seems to use blood magic to heal others]] |
| 276 | ** [[spoiler: Hope tries to barter with Seth in order to protect the party]] |
| 277 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: Her powers until the very end of the game came from a chaotic evil god, but she used them to help her party and the people of Yale. |
| 278 | * ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Can't do magic without it being blood magic |
| 279 | ** [[spoiler: Heals Aster without any blood. This may be implying she is the source of her own divine magic]] |
| 280 | * BerserkButton: Insulting Dol Arrah derailed any attempts at diplomacy with Lamora. Theia seems to notice this now and keeps Hope under control |
| 281 | ** She doesn't take it well when she finds out who killed her sister and mentor |
| 282 | * BlackCloak |
| 283 | ** Stolen by Asteria and then given back |
| 284 | * BewareTheNiceOnes |
| 285 | * BloodMagic: Hope uses a suspicious amount for being a cleric of the light |
| 286 | * BrutalHonesty |
| 287 | * ChasteHero: Has taken a vow of celibacy. {{Foil}} To Theia. |
| 288 | * CreepyGood: Perhaps the most traditionally "good" (or at least most moralistic), but the blood magic is off-putting. |
| 289 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Red skin, Red eyes, Horns, BloodMagic, but made it a point to go back and heal others from the fire |
| 290 | * [[spoiler: DeityOfHumanOrigin]]: As of the end of the final battle |
| 291 | * DoesNotLikeMen: Speculation |
| 292 | * ExactWords |
| 293 | * TheExile: From the city. Compare to Rhen |
| 294 | * FantasticallyIndifferent: Completely unfazed by Aster's holy retribution |
| 295 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Despite wanting to help everyone, Hope can be rather tough to get along with |
| 296 | ** Hope is willing to sacrifice in order to protect the party |
| 297 | * HealingHands |
| 298 | * [[spoiler: HearingVoices]] |
| 299 | * HopeBringer: For many downtrodden in the city |
| 300 | * HopeIsScary: Ignoring the literal name, this trope still applies. Hope was banished from the city and was ready to give up hope until she found the party. Unfortunately, this now gives her something to lose. |
| 301 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Hides herself in her black cloak and doesn't seem to enjoy her magic. Contrast with Theia's IJustWantToBeSpecial |
| 302 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: Type B |
| 303 | * LettingHerHairDown |
| 304 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The only one of the party that uses one |
| 305 | ** Aster technically has a magical one, but he keeps it shrunk down and never uses it. |
| 306 | * MeaningfulName |
| 307 | * TheMedic |
| 308 | ** Though Aster also has some healing ability |
| 309 | * MoralityAdjustment: Hope's definitely still good at the end of the campaign, but she's abandoned a lot of her lawful ideals. |
| 310 | * MorningRoutine: Says her prayers at sunrise |
| 311 | * NoSocialSkills: Her pride can get in the way of negotiations |
| 312 | ** Her rudeness ruins her budding friendship with Theia |
| 313 | ** Gets into a really awkward hug with Theia |
| 314 | * TheOathBreaker: [[spoiler: She kills Malikos, summons an undead army, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and eats bacon]] in the last session]] |
| 315 | * NeverLiveItDown: Accidentally states: "Religion is uh...dumb" [[spoiler: Turns out she actually meant it]] |
| 316 | * OnlySaneWoman: Hopes plays it up, even if its not technically true. Other party members are quite competent and moral. |
| 317 | ** Not quite so true by the end of the campaign |
| 318 | * OnlyOneName |
| 319 | ** [[spoiler: Hope is revealed to have a second name]] |
| 320 | * OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank |
| 321 | * PowerAtAPrice |
| 322 | * {{Protectorate}}: Hope seems to really care about the party |
| 323 | ** Her zealousness comes in conflict with Theia. Though they are both working towards the same goals, Hope is weary of Theia's secrets |
| 324 | ** [[spoiler: enough to make a deal with Seth]] |
| 325 | * RealNameAsAnAlias: Uses the "alias" of Vaermina at the Temple of Dol Arrah |
| 326 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. Hope's eyes are red, but she is the only Lawful Good member of the party. [[spoiler: Some members of the party are still suspicious of her]] |
| 327 | ** [[spoiler: All the undead that she summons have glowing red eyes]] |
| 328 | * SamaritanSyndrome: Hope ''has'' to help people |
| 329 | * SupportPartyMember |
| 330 | * TechnicalPacifist: Has taken a vow to not kill. Doesn't stop her from healing the people that do |
| 331 | * ThouShallNotKill |
| 332 | ** [[spoiler: Tears Malikos limb from limb]] |
| 333 | * TokenMinority: Of the FantasticRacism variety |
| 334 | * TurnUndead |
| 335 | * WeHelpTheHelpless |
| 336 | * WronglyAccused: According to Hope. |

| 340 | [[folder:Jaima "Spitfire" Marsk]] |
| 341 | ->''(takes a swig)'' |
| 342 | ->[[spoiler: ''(Tries to punch Ari in the back of the head)'']] |
| 343 | The human barbarian. Quick to anger and reluctant to take orders. She moved to Yale to join the army. It didn't go well. |
| 344 | |
| 345 | * AHeroToHisHometown: Has the folk hero background, because she helped lead a militia in her hometown. Given that she hasn't been back in about 5 years (and has no plans to go back), it's unclear if she still has this status. |
| 346 | * AndTheAdventureContinues: Jaima's plot ends with her asking Sorensen if she can continue working with him and fixing the city. |
| 347 | * TheAlcoholic: PlayedWith Responds to the party's hijinx by drinking out of flask. Doesn't seem to negatively affect her life. |
| 348 | * ArmorIsUseless |
| 349 | * BadLiar: Occasionally lies by omission, but that's mostly due to forgetfulness |
| 350 | * BarBrawl: Jaima recalls breaking up a few, and likely starting a few as well |
| 351 | ** Started one in good fun in session 6 |
| 352 | * TheBerserker: She's a berserker path barbarian. |
| 353 | * BloodKnight: She really enjoys violence. |
| 354 | * {{Bouncer}} |
| 355 | * BruiserWithASoftCenter |
