Adventuring Party

Mercenaries. Troubleshooters. Rag-tag heroes trying to get by—except “heroes” might not be quite the right word. Your characters have banded together as an adventuring party, a haphazard group of individuals traveling the realm with a common goal. Though you might not be the most diplomatic or noble of groups, you get the job done when it counts. It just might be a bit ... messy.
