The Clown

Kenneth Chase performed as Jeffrey Hawk, but his father had already found the cigar box in the crawlspace back in 1954, with feathers, animal paws and a man's finger inside. The Afterpiece Tonic slows anyone caught in the cloud, and Pop Goes the Weasel turns a hook into lost generator progress.

The Oni

Kazan Yamaoka killed his own father in a duel while hunting men trading on the samurai name, and was beaten to death by farmers in a stone mill. Yamaoka's Wrath builds from the blood he collects, then hands him a charge nobody outruns, and Blood Echo keeps the survivors bleeding.

The Dredge

The Dredge came out of The Fold, a 1960s island commune whose leader Otto Stamper sacrificed a journalist on a wooden stage and set off the massacre that followed. Reign of Darkness lets it teleport between lockers and drop the whole map into night, and Darkness Revealed reads every locker at once.

Vittorio Toscano

Vittorio Toscano found a Roman bronze dodecahedron in Hungary and the third piece of his artefact under the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, before the Knight put him in a cell. Fogwise and Potential Energy both pay off patience on a generator.

Aestri & Baermar

Aestri Yazar and Baermar Uraz are two bards out of Oerth who travelled to the Free City of Greyhawk to put the balance right, and were taken by the fog after Baermar read an incantation aloud in the Rotted Tower of Vecna. Bardic Inspiration rolls a die for the whole team, and Mirrored Illusion leaves a copy of them behind.

Dead Dawg Saloon

Dead Dawg Saloon is the frontier outpost of the Grave of Glenvale, modelled on Monument Valley. The Hellshire Gang rode into Glenvale after the Mason Kelly Gang took five of their own, and the town was never cleaned up afterwards.
