Since the launch of Campaign 4, fresh DM Brennan Lee Mulligan has kept viewers on edge with deep backstory, a diverse cast of personalities, and a thrilling plot showcasing angels, demons, and malevolent powers increasing in influence within the urban setting.
Heads-up: Revealing details for the third episode of this adventure lie ahead.
The Soldiers Table Unveiled
The latest chapter concluded with a major cliffhanger and presented the first table of characters who will separate from the main group to undertake their separate journey, separate from the additional parties.
This warrior group consists of the determined fighter (portrayed by Travis), the agile character (Laura), the fierce warrior (Whitney), Wicander (Sam), and Kattigan (Robbie Daymond).
Why Split the Party?
With an extensive roster, it was clear from the beginning that maintaining everyone at the same party would be impossible.
That’s why, the opening chapters of this story serve as an Introduction, weaving together the characters’ stories before branching into three smaller tables: Warriors, Planners, and Seekers.
What Defines the Soldiers Table
According to Brennan Lee Mulligan, the warrior group is for adventurers who prefer a typically action-packed combat and conflict-driven gameplay experience where peaceful solutions are scarce.
Initially, characters like the hesitant healer Wicander might appear mismatched, but the actions of episode 3 make it clear why these five characters are ideally matched for the warrior group.
Why They Must Go
For one thing, the team knows exactly where to go next after a intense initial meeting with the enemy group.
An old friend of Thjazi Fang—whose death initiated the narrative’s action—used The Crow Keepers for his selfish purposes, invading Thjazi’s hideout, striking Thimble, and taking all the powerful objects to dispose of.
Casimir then paid off his liabilities and ran away to a fortified location in Gormalay, Timmony, above Dol-Makjar, with Cyd hot on his heels.
Personal Motivations
Additionally, each adventurer has a individual motive to exit the urban setting:
- The agile hero, as the close ally and closest confidant, desires vengeance.
- The knowledgeable figure is familiar with Timmony and advises that it is a nasty environment.
- Tyranny and Wicander, having defied his family’s wishes to eliminate the target and instead freed him, have no safe haven.
- But, their reputation as important members in House Halovar could enable the team reach areas they typically wouldn’t be able to.
- Moreover, Teor swore a unbreakable promise to The cleric for his deliverance and will now go with him anywhere.
Wanted and Hunted
In addition, all of them are wanted by the rulers that control Dol-Makjar for a range of causes, making lingering locally too risky:
- The rogue and The hero are notorious outlaws.
- The warrior and The cleric betrayed the influential house and the horde of evil beings they are partnered with.
- Teor is marked for death by House Halovar.
This means them few options but to journey toward Timmony in search of the traitor.
What’s Next?
Based on episode three’s Cooldown, we learn that the warrior group will not appear the following episode, leaving the remaining eight cast members to form the Seekers and Schemers tables.
Viewers can expect finding out which players will be in which group in the season’s concluding setup installment, released on the upcoming Thursday.
