Retainers

Here follows a list of local mercenaries, former soldiers and other ne'er-do-wells who have been active in the Black Peaks area:

Retainers for hire:

• Bella Clover, the tinyist little she-halfling you ever did see.
• Erol Offswing, Noted for his great strength, dexterity and (surprisingly) charisma, Erol likes to whistle while he works, and his work usually involves swinging his huge pick. Sometimes at rock, other times at orc genitalia. Erol was born without darkvision, and left his clan long ago. Nevertheless, he loves being underground, and affixes a fat candle to his spelunking helmet.
• Fazoom, One of the mysterious brothers from the southern desert realms, Fazoom is the oldest and is known as having the strength of a baby ogre (that's incredibly strong).
• Finn, One of the mysterious brothers from the southern desert realms, Finn is neither the strongest, smartest, nor most likeable of the three.
• Flann, One of the mysterious brothers from the southern desert realms, Flann is the the youngest of the three and the only one who drinks alcoholic beverages.
• Hattrick, Swaddled in a blood red cloak and befeathered hat, Hattrick's signature move is drawing his dagger, slashing his opponents throat, and sheathing the weapon in the blink of an eye.
• Heramphalmos, It's me, Heramphalmos!
• Hooky Yar, Hooky (formerly known as Handy) Yar lost everything in a game of lanterloo, including his shitty job on the galleon "The Harpy's Gallstone."
• Kai Ya, Kai-Ya is a hearty monk from the Order of the Beta Carotine, far to the east.
• Otto Man-at-Arms, This laconic man-at-arms is covered in scars from a fire, possibly related to his former career as a wizard's apprentice.
• Timtam, A dwarf of the bardish persuasion.
• Ulrick, A mercenary once hired by Sly Naptastic.
