The Party Arden De Vere, Bard of Apollo ~ Half Elven Noble Magrim Axetooth ~ A hulking half Orc Barbarian with a fetish for Axes. Kara ~ Human Scout and sharpshooter with her longbow. Ghesh ~ A Dragonborn Battle Wizard with paired swords and heavy armour. Sparkeye ~ Dragonborn Sorcerer who likes illusions.
