Since the launch of Campaign 4, fresh DM Brennan Lee Mulligan has kept viewers on edge with rich lore, a colorful mix of heroes, and a thrilling plot featuring angels, evil spirits, and malevolent powers increasing in strength within the urban setting.
Warning: Revealing details for the third episode of the new season follow below.
The Combat-Oriented Party Unveiled
The third episode ended with a huge suspense moment and introduced the initial group of heroes who will split off from the central cast to undertake their separate journey, distinct from the other two tables.
This warrior group features the determined fighter (played by the voice actor), Thimble (the talented performer), Tyranny (Whitney), the cleric (the player), and Kattigan Vale (Robbie Daymond).
The Reason for Division
With 13 cast members, it was evident from the beginning that maintaining everyone at the same party would be unfeasible.
That’s why, the opening chapters of the new season serve as an Prelude, connecting the personal journeys before splitting into three separate parties: Soldiers, Planners, and Seekers.
Characteristics of the Combat Party
Per Brennan Lee Mulligan, the Soldiers table is for participants who prefer a traditionally charged fight-heavy gameplay experience where diplomatic options are scarce.
Upon first impression, characters like the reluctant priest Wicander might seem out of place, but the actions of the third episode show why these specific adventurers are best suited for the combat party.
Why They Must Go
First, the team understands precisely where to head next after a violent first encounter with The Crow Keepers.
A former ally of Thjazi Fang—whose death kicked off the story’s plot—used The Crow Keepers for his selfish purposes, breaking into the hidden lair, assaulting Thimble, and swiping all the enchanted items to auction.
The antagonist then paid off his debts and fled to a fortified location in the remote area, north of Dol-Makjar, with Teor’s brother pursuing him.
Personal Motivations
Additionally, each member has a individual motive to leave the city the urban setting:
- The agile hero, as the close ally and best friend, desires vengeance.
- The adventurer is familiar with the region and cautions that it is a dangerous place.
- The warrior and Wicander, having defied his relatives’ demands to execute Teor and instead rescued him, have no other options.
- But, their reputation as key figures in the powerful family could assist the group enter locations they typically wouldn’t be able to.
- Additionally, The fighter pledged a life debt to The savior for his deliverance and will now follow him anywhere.
Pursued by Authorities
Lastly, all of them are wanted by the powers that rule Dol-Makjar for a variety of reasons, making lingering locally dangerous:
- The rogue and Kattigan are recognized lawbreakers.
- Tyranny and The cleric betrayed the powerful family and the horde of evil beings they are allied with.
- The target is wanted dead by House Halovar.
This means them little choice but to head to Timmony in search of Casimir.
What’s Next?
From the recent installment’s Cooldown, we find out that the warrior group will not appear next week, leaving the remaining eight players to assemble the Explorers and Schemers groups.
Viewers can expect discovering which characters will be assigned to which table in the season’s concluding setup installment, streaming live on October 24.
