Acen’s Angels Roster

Acen’s Angels Roster (past and present)

1. Apical Meristem *: A former halfling turnip farmer who spent the last 10 years in a monastery of the Self-Reliant faction, Apical is a monk who was sent to Sengazia to investigate some recent disappearances. This will allow Apical to experience the “real world” after a long period of isolation. Had his wisdom drained by an Allip while traveling to the East, making him insane. Recovered from hypnotism only to be eaten by Ghast. Reincarnated into a new but weaker Halfling body.
2. Big Jim Umbrage *: A cattle farmer from outside the city of Sengazia who has decided to seek adventure in the “big city” following the death of his father from tertiary syphillis, which caused his older brother Large Steve Umbrage to take over the family farm. Big Jim Umbrage is a trained fighter.
3. Gerna (man-at-arms): Helped us end the Kobold Breeding Project. He has since been promoted by the crusade.
4. Jernix *: Dwarven cleric of the Waiting who has been with us before we were Acen’s Angels. Left on a hurried vacation to the Dwarf city of Dorath, after witnessing the minor deatil of the party comitting arson, kidnapping and murder.
5. Skon (the strange) *: Capable thief who has had his mind scrambled by the Keepers. Now he continually re-introduces himself. Was impersonated by a Doppleganger and seems to have stopped introducing himself.
6. Mumbling Stranger: This mumbling wizard was an erratic torch-bearer until the clean up phase of the Kobold Breeding Project, where he whipped out a spell to killed a penned up boar. Between missions he wandered off.
7. Angry Man: Killed by kobolds while he was laying on the ground.
8. Ex-Whore: Survived a mission, earning enough money to cover her rash, allowing her to get back to the oldest profession in the world.
9. Outcast Orc: A protohuman with nowhere to go. We accepted this filthy protohuman before we solidified our resolve in Acen. He became seriously injured by kobolds and left the party soon afterwards to hide from the Crusade.

13. Stumbling Drunk: Mr. Negative Geo-Taxis. Became Nimble Ex-Drunk #26
14. Slum Dweller: A slums bully who was eager to lay the wood on someone, but after getting a taste of “adventure” he abandoned his post in the night. Apparently he preferred “punching his way into lean-tos every night” to fighting actual orcs with weapons.
15. Spandau Traskellion *: A druid who doesn’t like nature and did not seek out his powers, Spandau enjoys the finer things in life. He has also been known to mix up an unguent or two out of dubious ingredients.

18. Hostile Punk: Another fellow eager to lay a beating, but as with all of these overzealous dudes, he dropped unceremoniously by female Kobolds.
19. Slow Farmhand: Stupid hay-pitcher who was lost.
20. Lazy Oaf: This fat-ass purposely moved only 5 feet per round, pissing the group off, hence he was kicked out.
21. Stuart: Another capable rock-thrower. Went back to Fennelton to see if his parents were actually burnt to death after an off hand remark by Big Jim.
22. Quiet Burglar: When given the chance to showcase his thieving he fell far short. After finally gaining his footing to become a contributor, he was beheaded by Armored Fighter.
23. Ornery Ex-Cooper: Lost his shop due to an ill advised gambling bet.
24. Home Invader: Someone looking to leave town quickly. Wandered down a corridor and beaten to death by a Hobgoblin with a guisarme.

36. Geornas: Spandau suck-up. Torn apart by a horde of Zombies, much to the party’s amusement.
37. Thalax: Friendless pikeman who took a critical in the face from Bugbear Marauder as he charged into battle for the first time.
38. Zabi the Eunuch: Cleric of the Waiting with an attitude. Spandau kicked him in the groin by way of greeting. Killed by a wight when he left the group during watch and peered around the corner, possibly looking for treasure.
39. Heleth: Sister of Zabi the Eunuch, raised with a submissive attitude. After a pep talk on self-reliance by Apical, she decided to take up the ways of thievery.
40. Zaxin: A bold, young man, hired by Heleth as a bodyguard. He can surely spin a yarn, and has experience in bar fights. Zaxin was shocked into unconsciousness by a mage, then his unconscious body was thrown as bait for ghouls and zombies, while the party escaped.
41. Former Servant: Former loading and unloading industry insider who became a man-at-arms when he picked up a club. Died at the hands of Burn Team 4 and Heleth’s flaming oil.
42. Lazy Drunk: Former city guide from Ankara with the usual quest to turn his life around. Handy with a thrown rock. While the party was attempting to cross to the East, he had his Wisdom drained out of him by an Allip and was then eaten by a Ghast. Three days later his body was rasied as a super intelligent Ghast.
43. Castara: Female cleric of the Self Reliant. Saved the party from Bugbears with a Soundburst. She is nobody’s f*ck doll.

52. Big Tuna (Runaway, Parcell): Shortest serving memebr of the party. Runawa who wanted to leave the city becuase of the plague outbreak. Was given a sling to use, then, several hours later, Spandau pushed himto the front line in combat  and Big Tuna ran off.
