There have been many characters in the game and not all of them made it through alive. Some made it back from the dead and some just made it into the history books. This is a retrospective on some of those exits.

 

Belltath's Castle (Scenario 2)

​

​Gunthor - Died 1154. Was poisoned and drowned in the moat of Belltath's Castle whilst trying to rescue Maerdan. Buried outside of the castle.

​

Voth -  Died 1154. Peppered with arrows by undead archers outside Belltath's Castle. Charging was a poor plan.

He was resurrected later by his father Aeson after Yimuradict recovered his body. He was then commanded to join The Strange Company, taking on his identity as Whiteflight again. This is his third death.

Robbing Hood (Scenario 22)

Taekmor - Killed 21st Longday 1160. The very annoying thief who stole from her own party as much as from anyone else. So good at sneaking Igelkordok didn't spot her in the midst of battle and caught her with a Fireball. It wasn't a noble death but it was a noble battle: against Pilus Prior Rattian Elf Slayer and his skeletal army at Rew.  The fireball took out 20 undead and 2 Decurians. Silanus reincarnated him.

​

Aspen Darkfire - Killed 21st Longday 1160. In the same battle against Pilus Prior Rattian Elf Slayer, Igelkordok managed to kill Aspen. This time by dropping a Sheet of Ice on his head. Aspen was a prisoner along with Nero and both were going to be executed. Misjudging their health, Iggy dropped the ice which killed 200 undead archers (as intended) but also his ally. Silanus reincarnated him but Aspen came back as a woman.

​

Taekmor - Killed 11th Early Summer 1160. Eighteen days after being reincarnated last, Taekmor was sold out to Aragorn. She tried to escape, hitting a guard and running but Qaisetor Rathlin of the Praetorian Guard killed her with a Lightning Bolt. This one is special as it's the first time a character has died twice in the same scenario.

​

Whiteflight Died 1156. Killed in a drunken brawl in Blackmar whilst on a secret mission, which he failed at. He was reincarnated by the goblin Nardik seeking a true heir to the goblinic throne. Goblin again but this time their king - Larenthug. His human/were-bear body would be on Blackmar, disposed of by the City Guard.

​

Descending Evil (Scenario 23)

​

Aspen Darkfire - Killed 3rd Midsummer 1160. Thirty eight days after being reincarnated, Aspen was taken hostage in the Drow city by Maelstrom Darmore. Maelstrom threatened to slit her throat if the party did not surrender. He kept his word when the party refused. His third and final death.

​

The Plan (Scenario 234)

Roan - Died 28th Freshyear 1167. Roan carried a keg of gunpowder to a corrupted sylvan tree. Knocked unconscious by shadow boars he was blown up when Sir Corwin (controlled by Marc at this point) loosed a fire arrow at it. It killed hundreds of undead pixies, the corrupt tree and a priest of Mallus. Only a tuft of his hair remains with Skarra. 220 points of damage were too much for the unconscious fawn. The group had known him for only five days.

​

​

Character of note

Whiteflight has had three in game deaths, matched only by Aspen Darkfire, though Whiteflight has come back again so retains the Yo-Yo King title, as well as being King of the goblins. Unfortunately their average life span is about 40 so he's rapidly approaching an end point that's harder to dodge. Of course that average may include factors such as propensity for wars and fighting, poor diet, low education and such, which Larenthug is keen to overturn.

​

Whiteflight the Gay Blade - "The Unflushable Turd" - Initiate Skarra

Despite his multiple identities and, at times, requirement to keep his identity hidden, his companions only ever referred to him as Whiteflight. Until he became a goblin at which point they distanced themselves from him quickly.

2) Died 1154. Whiteflight was killed on the Gon'Wrath Moors by demons after a fight in their temple where he killed the high priest of Mallus. Whiteflight was reincarnated as a dwarf by Silanus. His companions robbed his body. He took the name Kalos. His original body was buried on the moor.

 - changed to were-bear (going by the name Ardam) after bet with Griss

3) Died 1155. Arndam was killed by the frost breath of Bapheus, a dragon necromancer. He was resurrected later by Yimuradict to join The Strange Company, taking on his identity as Whiteflight again.

4) Died 1156. Whiteflight was killed in a drunken brawl in Blackmar whilst on a secret mission, which he failed at. He was reincarnated by the goblin Nardik seeking a true heir to the goblinic throne. Goblin again but this time their king - Larenthug. His body would be on Blackmar, disposed of by the City Guard.
