Remember the five Heroes of Theomachy, known as The Awakened Vanguard (according to Sir Rosmon), or The Glorious and the Angry (according to Raziya) playing strip poker in a tavern after a dangerous quest to oppose the warring gods of Naam? This is the outcome of their game!
The Players:
--Sir Bertin Rosmon, Half-Elf Paladin of Forgiveness (Oath of Redemption)
--Raziya, Half-Demon (Tiefling) Fiend Warlock (and her imp, Flick)
--Dulcedina, Half-Angel (Aasimar) Divine Soul Sorceress
--Karn Steelfoam, Sea Dwarf Champion Fighter
--Lyammus, Elurian (Tabaxi) Thief
The Game:
Raziya lost the first few rounds on purpose to ‘distract’ her opponents before methodically taking them down one by one with the help of her trusty imp, Flick. Sir Rosmon and Dulcedina were the first to lose, and even Karn, who is a seasoned gambler who loves huge stakes, lost to Raziya’s tricks in the end, and tossed away his catilus-pattern underwear in good spirits. Lyammus is angry he lost and Sir Rosmon is secretly glad he left the Order of the Pure Mind to join the Order of Forgiveness…
About the Heroes:
Sir Bertin Rosmon is a theomachist (anti-god) half-elf paladin who recently left the Order of the Pure Mind to join the Order of Forgiveness. His quest of penance (also known as a suicide mission) that would be his final task as a paladin of the Pure Mind and his first task as a paladin of Forgiveness was to bring to justice a sinister and devilish heretic of Seramis, the warring god of beauty. After months of perilous journey he caught up with his quarry, only to discover that she’s no heretic of Seramis, but just an ‘innocent’ half-demon girl by the name of Raziya, tormented by the gods as much as any steel-clad theomachist paladin.
Raziya truly is a misunderstood individual. Her mother is a demon who loves to mingle with mortal nobles, while her grandmother (also Raziya’s otherworldly patron) is a demon who actively seeks to depose Seramis, the so-called god of beauty. Raziya’s precarious position between the politics of mortals and the schemes of demons have put her in a lot of trouble with devout followers of the warring gods, as well as fanatical theomachists who would smite her just because of her infernal lineage. When Sir Bertin Rosmon finally caught up with her, she pleaded innocent and asked to join him in his idealistic quest to end the Theomachy, using him and his allies as a means of protection against those who would seek to harm her.
Dulcedina used to be the lady-in-waiting of Lady Prosperia di Gianluca, a powerful noblewoman of Vernoa, one of the most prosperous city-states in the entire Naam. When the empire of Moredus invaded Vernoa, Lady Prosperia was taken prisoner and Dulcedina had to rely on her celestial magic to escape. The Emperor of Moredus seeks to legitimize his position by having as many nobles of celestial heritage in his court, so Dulcedina is on the run and has to rely on the few trusted friends she’s made after her escape from Vernoa.
Karn Steelfoam is a proud son of Clan Steelfoam, which is known among the sea dwarves for their strong warriors. He is a skilled navigator who loves a good joke and enjoys gambling as much as he enjoys sailing in rough weather. He has lost many good brothers to the agents of Okeanos, the warring god of the sea, and mentions of Okeanos are the only things that can sour his mood. His Catilus-pattern underpants were a gift from his auntie Bonri Steelfoam.
Lyammus is an elurian thief on the run. Having amassed a huge debt to several shady criminals from all over the continent of Narllas, he escaped being sold to slavery by stowing away on a sea dwarven vessel where he met Karn Steelfoam. Lyammus is slow to trust others, but very loyal to the people who didn’t sell him to the elurian slavers who are after him.
