Ever since the premiere of Campaign 4, fresh DM Brennan Lee Mulligan has kept viewers on edge with deep backstory, a diverse cast of personalities, and a exciting storyline featuring divine entities, evil spirits, and malevolent powers growing in strength within the city.
Warning: Spoilers for the third episode of this adventure are included.
The Soldiers Table Revealed
Episode 3 ended with a huge suspense moment and presented the first table of adventurers who will separate from the main group to embark on their independent quest, apart from the remaining groups.
This warrior group features Teor (brought to life by Travis), Thimble (the talented performer), the strong-willed figure (the cast member), Wicander (Sam Riegel), and Kattigan Vale (Robbie Daymond).
Dividing the Cast
Considering 13 cast members, it was evident from the beginning that keeping everyone at one table would be unworkable.
That’s why, the opening chapters of the new season serve as an Prelude, weaving together the characters’ stories before dividing into three separate parties: Soldiers, Strategists, and Questers.
Characteristics of the Combat Party
Per Brennan Lee Mulligan, the Soldiers table is for adventurers who enjoy a typically action-packed battle-oriented narrative style where peaceful solutions are rare.
Initially, figures such as the hesitant healer Wicander might look mismatched, but the actions of episode 3 show why these five characters are perfectly fit for the warrior group.
Reasons to Leave
For one thing, the party has a clear idea where to go next after a brutal initial meeting with the antagonists.
A former ally of Thjazi—whose demise kicked off the narrative’s action—exploited The Crow Keepers for his personal gain, entering the hidden lair, assaulting the rogue, and swiping all the enchanted items to sell off.
The traitor then settled his obligations and fled to a Halovar stronghouse in Gormalay, Timmony, beyond the city, with Cyd Pridesire close behind.
Personal Motivations
Additionally, each character has a specific drive to exit Dol-Makjar:
- The agile hero, as the close ally and best friend, desires revenge.
- The knowledgeable figure is familiar with the northern area and warns that it is a hostile place.
- Tyranny and Wicander, having defied his family’s wishes to eliminate the target and instead saved him, have no safe haven.
- But, their reputation as prominent individuals in the powerful family could assist the group reach places they normally couldn’t.
- Furthermore, The fighter swore a unbreakable promise to The cleric for his rescue and will now go with him wherever.
Pursued by Authorities
In addition, all of them are sought by the powers that govern the city for a variety of reasons, making staying in the city dangerous:
- The agile adventurer and The hero are known criminals.
- Tyranny and The cleric betrayed House Halovar and the horde of evil beings they are partnered with.
- The fighter is targeted for elimination by the family.
This leaves them few options but to travel to Timmony in search of Casimir.
What’s Next?
Based on episode three’s post-show segment, we discover that the combat party will be absent in the upcoming installment, leaving the rest of the participants to form the Questers and Planners parties.
Fans can anticipate discovering which adventurers will be assigned to which table in Campaign 4’s concluding setup installment, streaming live on next week.
