The Ribald Band

Making its first appearance in Character Journals for Fun and Profit, published in Campaign Magazine #3, this adventuring company has had a colorful past to say the least. They are based out of Scornubel and are oftentimes in the employ of Earlani, a notable fine items dealer with shops in most of the larger cities in the Western Heartlands.These characters are not played by our regular players but are used in game conventions or as archetypes for articles. Their personality is jointly developed by us and the players who run them at conventions. If you ran one of these characters, keep the character sheet and let us know what further adventures he has.

Thadius - "Not Yours! Stop taking things!" [said by the thief?]
DM - The room plunges into darkness. The serving girls start screaming. Marcel: "I start screaming!"
Gorvan: "This brings a whold new meaning to, 'Let's scare us up some lunch.'" - said of shadow mastifs using fear to hunt fellow party members
Durran: "If its not dwarven, its crap!"
"Did we just walk into a bugbear porn theatre?"
"First sign of naked bugbears, I am out of here!"
"I'm not talking to naked bugbears!"
"Less talking, more running!"
Thadius's mantra - "Not going to kill the bard. Not going to kill the bard. Not going to kill the bard. Not going to kill the bard."
"Worse case scenario, there are 15 naked bugbears."
"I'm just sitting on my prized kill."
"The stupid frogs ate all our flowers. For that they must die!"
"Why be in a hurry? When you are last, everyone knows what you are doing."
Upon seeing the remorhaz: "I could probably do more damage from inside him."
