Party 13

Andar Patrone is a human cleric, and the leader of Party 13.  He once followed the teachings Allora, the goddess of guidance, but now preaches the good word of Any God That Will Listen.  He also has some anger issues.  Please do not mention them.  Please.

Sarah Stryker is a performer based in central Jersey, which does exist despite the rumors. She loves dressing up and playing pretend, so acting is pretty much the best job for that skill set. 


Benicio Markanti is a half-elf rogue with a heart of gold.  He is well known among the common folk for his heroic deeds and constant fight for equality and freedom.  He is also well known among the female common folk as "that weirdo with the terrible pick up lines".

Dan Keyser is a teacher and performer.  He chooses to believe that Benicio’s personality and adventures parallel his own life. In reality, he goes to bed early and wears a tie four days out of the week.


Thoven Battlebeard is a dwarven ranger whose speaking style is similar to the ways of the forest - mysterious and flowery and weird.  Nevertheless, he is an incredibly gifted tracker and warrior.
