In this post I will quickly go through a part of my warband for the upcoming campaign that I am running. The previous post laid out some backstory for the campaign and gave a short introduction to the Greensway Isles (a location completely fabricated by yours truly) and now it's time to introduce some of the warriors accompanying the rather somber veteran sergeant that the Hegemony is sending to retrieve the stolen cargo (whatever it may be).
Veteran Sergeant Cassius Tiberian
Stone-faced and utterly dedicated to carrying out his orders, Sergeant Tiberian is not a man one would describe as the most compassionate of believers. Although highly religious, as is common among the low-born of the City of the Golden Horn, Tiberian's approach to life is nonetheless pragmatic and matter-of-fact. These qualities make him a man often called in to clean up the messes of those higher up. If the Hegemon needs sergeant Tiberian's blade in the sewers under a brothel in order to extricate a certain bishop's personal relics from said establishment, Cassius Tiberian shall be the last to ask why.
Brother Marcus, Paladin Defender
A sworn brother of the Sacred Silence, Brother Marcus is a stoic veteran of the recent wars against the marauding abyssals. Rumor has it that he was captured momentarily by the devils and that his tongue was cut out before he could escape. No one knows whether the rumor holds true, or if the Brother holds silent of his own volition.
Veteran Sister Drusilia
Quick to laugh and naturally gregarious, Sister Drusilia has been with the Bluecoats since she was released from the priory of the Modest Maiden after being taken to task for muttering profanities during prayer for the 38th time. Regardless of her foul mouth, her forthright manner has pried many secrets from loose tongues and won the Bluecoats out of almost as many a trouble as her flail has.
Sisters Artemisia and Actaena
Though the youngest of the Bluecoats, the twin sisters have earned their keep as tireless scouts, often ranging ahead without rest while the rest of the company is marching up behind. Despite their young age they recoil from no danger and they both bear an impressive array of battle scars, worn with the pride of young warriors.
Mistfang
Trusted companion to the twin hunters, Mistfang is a ferocious beast indeed. Neither eager to please nor patient, she is not the easiest of creatures to deal with for the other members of the company, but her sharp senses and claws have earned her the respect of the others. Once a battle is joined, Mistfang's feline instincts often drive her to protect even the less-esteemed members of the company.
Scipio, Gaius and Titus
It is not always easy to appreciate the honor of being chosen to serve in the Bluecoats, as the missions tend towards the more peculiar (which is to say deadly) type. The Hegemon's Finest, however, are always at the disposal of a Veteran Sergeant in need. Thus it is that these brave warriors find themselves on the rain-washed docks, boarding a vessel in the early-morning gloom. Join the Army, they said...
