The Dandies

The main adventuring party and the founders of the Dandy Rose

Meet the Party

Captain Konguq

A Battle Wizard, she came up from the south to learn more about being a wizard to help her tribe guided by her penguin companion Agratok. She grew up a merchant and is a shrewd negotiator. She killed the Pirate Captain Oleander Bloodblade and gained the Blade of the Aurora, making her Captain of the Dandy Rose. During the Test of High Sorcery she traded her memories of her lover and first mate Morris to never forget her spells. At the end she donned the black robes to gain the power she needs to protect the people she cares about.

Quartermaster Achius "Ace" Ravenwing

A Courtier Rouge, he fled Solamnia after his master was killed in a heist gone wrong. He is a deft smooth talker with a tumultuous relationship with religion. He became Quartermaster because of his way with people, aided by his loyal puppy Callum. While he does rely on his cane, it contains a sword inside. While in Crossing, he gained the trust of Alaban Blue Cloak and his son Cyrus, offering him sanctuary in Crossing from Solomnia.

Nightwatch Ryai Olaris

An elven Spellblade, Ryai fled his home after an incident with his fiance that he isn't keen on talking about. He is intelligent and passionate, if not a little clueless. With Ryai's abilities to see in the dark he takes the Nightwatch on the ship to make sure the crew can sleep safely at night. During the Test of High Sorcery, he altered his body to present more like the gender he identifies with rather than the one he was born with. He donned the white robes to prove a point to other elves.

Healer and Navigation Vodren

A Nature Cleric, and a Devotee to Habakkuk, Vodren is one of the first Cleric in 300 years. He grew up in a goblin colony very close to nature. Inevitable the Bone Tortoise helps him commune with his god while he prefoms incredible feats of healing and resurrection.

Battle Master Bron

A Shield Fighter Dwarf, he took an oath to never used another weapon again after killing his brother. He served his time and joined the group after the Burning of Solace. He makes sure the crew is in fighting shape for whatever dangers they might come across.

Brother Vorlo

A Hobgoblin apothecary and ship's helmsman, he is an unusual hobgoblin and is extremely friendly and warm towards the group. He partakes and creates a multitude of vices, but is supportive figure in the group.

Barbarian, looking over at the dwarf:

"So.... hypothetically, how hard do I have to throw him to have him phase THROUGH the door?"

[lavellaned]

Why is no one talking about the letter Antoine wrote for Evka which is supposed to be delivered to her if he dies? I feel like I’m going insane

[ellatamara]

What’s this? More Orc Time epilogue content?

Roseberry managed to bring her boys back to life (with much help from the player characters, and from the easter egg appearance of Evelyn Marthain). And what a good thing that she did, because Hope and Quest are having a kid. Can’t be dad if you’re dead.

Speaking of tiefling kids, is that Quiet? It sure is! In-game it’s been almost two years, and irl it’s been almost six years since her last appearance, but following a natural disaster, she decided to seek out her first real protector Magret Twice-Orphaned.

New plate armor for the lil lady. Also it is cursed to never come off :( but the +1 plate is worth it, along with +1 claws.

Also taking a gift from Themberchaud gave her red hair.

Posting them separately from the session recap

Doodles of the highs and lows of the festival, some party members fairing better than others. I kinda thought there was an interesting parallel here.

Ace who lives for the thrill of it is bolstered by his criminal past and thriving in it. While Bron, struggles with his and the crime he committed.

Konguq, having the night of her life experiencing the fun and excitement of a new relationship, and Ryai dealing with the fallout of one gone wrong.

I didn't think of it at first when I doodled these up, but I am now and I kinda love it.

“I throw the noble at the orc.”

“You what?”

“I throw the noble.”

Our barbarian proceeded to roll a 2, throw the unsuspecting noble headfirst into a wall, and render him unconscious for the rest of the battle. (Despite the obvious fact that it was more of a disadvantage than a strategy, the party decided to do the same thing repeatedly throughout one whole leg of the mission. Now it’s an ongoing joke to reply to everything with ‘throw the noble’)
