Ruins, Castle, Manor
'The fiends must be driven back. And what better place to begin than the seat of our noble line?'
The Ruins are the crumbling remains of the Ancestor's estate. All that remains of its former glory is a black, shifting maze of corridors; Firmly under the control of the Necromancers. The walls of the Ruins are adorned with the fading emblems of the Ancestor and bookshelves full of old, leather-bound books. The cold air is filled with the stale smell of dust and abandonment. You can hear a faint chanting in the background, just gnawing at the edge of your mind.
Old Road
'Brigands have run of these lanes. Keep to the side-path, the Hamlet is just ahead.'
The Old Road is a poorly-maintained and bandit-plagued road that connects the Estate to the outside world. It is the only in and out of these plagued lands; Travelers often get beset by the bandits who made this place their home. New arrivals coming by the Stage Coach often suffer accidents because of the apparent madness of its drivers.
Hamlet, Village
'Welcome home, such as it is. This squalid hamlet, these corrupted lands, they are yours now, and you are bound to them.'
The Hamlet is a quiet, decayed settlement on the Estate's grounds where a handful of people still cling to a squalid yet relatively civilized existence. Two buildings are dedicated to easing the minds of its visitors: the Tavern, where heroes can drink, gamble, or visit the brothel, and the Abbey, allowing heroes to meditate, pray, or flagellate themselves. At the Blacksmith, weapons and armor can be bought for a hefty fee, while the Guild is more than eager to train with those that can pay their tuition.

Its otherworldly tunnels house an ancient race of fish-men, called the Pelagic, as well as the Drowned - undead sailors cursed to relive the moment of their death. The smell of rotten fish is almost unbearable; a constant reminder of the nearby sea. The sound of dripping water echoes through the Cove's passages. Eerie shimmering corals provide the only natural light around here, while unholy idols and the remains of destroyed ships lay scattered on the stony cave-floor.
Warrens, Aqueducts
'They breed quickly down there in the dark, but perhaps we can slay them even faster.'
The Warrens are an incredibly ancient system of aqueducts and tunnels built for an unknown purpose. It is a corpse- choked cesspit that houses the ravenous, disease-ridden beast-men known as the Swinefolk and their allies. The ancient walls of the Warrens are beginning to crumble, while the tunnels are littered with barrels full of foul-smelling liquids and carts filled with human half-eaten human remains. The stench of those corpses, mixed with the smell of refuse, permeates the air. Always in the background, you can hear the constant squealing and screeching of the pig-men.
Weald, Forest
'Corruption has soaked the soil, sapping all good life from these groves. Let us burn out this evil.'
The Weald is a stagnant, overgrown forest inhabited by bandits and the victims of parasitic fungus. The fruits and victims of this spreading corruption are the primary dangers faced when exploring here. In addition, the Brigands make their home in the Weald, backed by a powerful cannon that protects them from their enemies. The trees are misshaping and covered in the fungous infection spread by the local witches. The smell of rotting carcasses and the sound of rabid wolves howling fills the air.

/accompanied by [a-zA-Z]+, a male Man-at-Arms/
The Man-at-Arms is an old, battle-scarred veteran, who has seen enough war and bloodshed to last more than a dozen lifetimes. While he can no longer swing his great mace with the force he once could, no one should stand where he swings his mighty weapon. The Man-at-Arms is a seasoned veteran, and has been rewarded for his toil with haunting guilt and stoic resilience. The Man-at-Arms breaks down enemy lines with his mace, shield, and furious battle cries.
During combat, the Man-at-Arms protects his allies with Defender, redirecting an attack towards him. Bellow shakes the enemies resolve, giving your team the upper hand in combat. Rampart knocks back and stun an enemy, while moving the Man-at-Arms into close combat. Retribution activates Riposte, countering any attacks attempted at him with a solid smack of his shield.
/accompanied by [a-zA-Z]+, a male Leper/
The Leper is a ruined man, a warrior and a poet. Struggle, and futility — all one's days are a constant toil to shelter life's ember through one more night. The Leper not only knows but embraces such solemnity. Tortured existence has taught him to count not on the care of others. The Leper can gain strength others can but dream of, or the endurance to bear what no other could. And when his massive blade falls, death's call rings loud to all caught in its thunderous arc. However, such force falls not nimbly, and foes may lightly evade their execution.
During Combat, the Leper will face any opposition head on. Chop is a devastating strike with his execution's blade against a close target. Intimidate shakes the target's resolve. Purge knocks back an enemy back. Withstand gives the Leper increased resistances.
/accompanied by [a-zA-Z]+, a female Bounty Hunter/
The Bounty Hunter is a brutally efficient hunter. For her, planning is key - She has found that simply striking before thinking is an ineffective way to kill, so she has taught herself many ways to take advantage of her foe's vulnerabilities. At camp, like in combat, the Bounty Hunter is all about preparedness. She can take time to study her notes, bettering her odds against her foes.
During combat, the Bounty Hunter specializes in targeting a single foe to deliver its head for the reward. Mark for Death finds weak spots in her enemies' armor.

During combat, the Hellion will face any enemy head-on and can pick on even the furthest enemies thanks to his giant glaive. Breakthrough is a wide swing against multiple enemies. Bleed Out maims the target and inflicts them with deep bleeding wounds. These abilities leave the Hellion exhausted, reducing his effectiveness in long battles, and are crippling to him when overused. Iron Swan is an exquisite option to pick off enemies far in the back. Adrenaline Rush buffs up the Hellion's damage to help counter him exhaustion.
/accompanied by [a-zA-Z]+, a female Shieldbreaker/
The Shieldbreaker hails from the distant windswept dunes of the east. Deadly as a viper, her iron will has been forged in the heat of the blazing desert sun. Though outwardly demure, her emancipation from the barren wastes came at a price so terrible, it haunts her dreams even now... An unfortunate series of events forced the Shieldbreaker to cut her hand to survive, and the images of the past haunt her until today.
During combat, the Shieldbreaker gracefully moves about the battlefield, wielding a spear and buckler to keep herself out of danger while she swiftly decimates the enemy defenses. Her dancer's garb is better suited to the stage than the dungeon; she must be quick to survive. Pierce entirely ignores armor. Captivate pulls enemies to the front. Adder's Kiss is a devastating attack, that infects the target with blight. Serpent Sway raises the Shieldbreaker's defensive abilities and often gets her out of harms way.
/There is a place, beneath those ancient ruins, in the moor, that calls out to the boldest among them.../
Location: The Old Road, Beginning of Corridor
You are Dismas, a male Highwayman, and you ponder the nature of your profession and how you might best support your companion, Reynauld who is a Crusader.
You encounter a Brigand Cutthroat! He is hooded, and wields a pair of daggers with expert skill. Reynauld steps forward in front of you. "You should leave this place, stranger. This is no safe haven for you."
The brigand's eyes gleam under his cowl as he smirks. "Hah! You're new here, aren't you? I'm surprised you've got the nerve to speak to me like that, even if you are a pretty little thing."
Your heart beats faster. The dagger in his hand glints with reflected light.
> You lunge for the Brigand and make a Wicked Slice with your own blade.
─ Your Wicked Slice lands on the Brigand Cutthroat with a critical hit.
The brigand cries out and falls back, clutching at his chest. Blood seeps between his fingers and he grunts, "Aaaargh!"
> You yell "Now, Reynauld! Dispatch him with your Holy Smite!"
- Reynauld's Holy Smite incinerates the Brigand Cutthroat with holy fire!
Reynauld raises his hands and a blinding flash of white light envelops the brigand. His flesh boils and splits. A putrid smell rises from the corpse.
"Aaaaaagh!"
The brigand roars and staggers back, dropping one of his knives. The other clatters to the ground. The brigand's eyes roll back into his head and he collapses to the ground.
> You say "Well done, Reynauld, let's see what curio or treasure he has."
Reynauld kneels beside the body. He pulls off the brigand's cloak and then removes the brigand's belt.
As he lifts the brigand's arms, a silver ring glimmers on his finger.
> You ask "Ah, what is that?"
"It's a signet ring," Reynauld replies. "They used to wear them as badges of office. If you have a special ability, you'd mark it with a symbol."
"That must be a powerful item, then. What does it do?"
"I don't know. But I'll keep it for now."
Reynauld pockets the ring and stands up. He looks around, and then nods. "Let's move on."
> You move on.
Location: The Old Road, End of Corridor
You move on with Reynauld, and find a portal deeper into the woods. Stepping in, you are surprised by a Brigand Bloodletter, and a Brigand Fusilier! They stand guard over a large strongbox.

Punish is a merciless strike with her flail - inflicting the target with bleeding wounds. Reclaim heals an ally while opening the Flagellants own wounds in return.
