NPC Roll Call

Captain Yann Kovoag

Captain of the Bird of the River, a ship that plies annually up and down the Don River. Known to have access to the legendary Golden Liquor of the Marn, which is created by drones of the insect-like Marn.

Gulshan

Ill-fated sailor on the Bird on the River, who stood with the PCs against giant beavers, but fell victim to a giant spider when the ship passed under the 407 Bridge.

High Druid Dugald Oakhand

Leader of the Druids of Woodhall, in Baker's Wood. Unreasonably (!) upset by PCs carving on the Grandfather, an ancient burl-covered tree where the druids worship. The High Druid required restitution - the offending weapon which had profaned the Grandfather!

Branwyn

Lesser druid of Woodhall, who intervened between the party and the High Druid.

Emperor of Granbreton

Seeking to expand his domains, the Emperor of Granbreton sought to reopen the ancient Transmat Station near Kensington Gardens in ruined London. His mantis-masked, green-armoured soldiers used a group of rabble in an attempt to discover the dangers of the overgrown park - like using sheep to clear a minefield, they said. The PCs managed to find the Transmat Station and return it to working order, escaping via Transmat to Union Station in Toronto. The way for the forces of Granbreton is therefore clear, but what that means for the future has yet to be seen.

The Great Pan

Flying semi-divine (?) being who leads the Lost Boys. The Great Pan was encountered in the overgrown Kensington Gardens in ruined London.

Dragora

First encountered in the lost city of Parhok, Dragora was the erstwhile "dragon's concubine" who turned out to be controlling a green-scaled fire-breathing dragon in order to loot the hidden ape city. 

Dragora escaped Parhok with a group of PCs. After encountering the Spore Brothers, she journeyed with the party to the Silver Tower in the desert, and then on past the deserted Denny's on an ancient road. 

Eventually, the group encountered a small number of erstwhile raiders mounted on giant mutated kangaroos. Dragora left with these, on her way to Denethix and (presumably) some future score.

Phil and Terry

Met in Chelmfordshire, Phil and Terry had been guards for a caravan that was attacked by Moktars. They sought the PCs' aid in recovering a massive gold-filled chest, but did little to regain apart from taking the party to the site of the ambush. When the gold was recovered, the PCs attempted to trick the duo into entering a space that could be sealed, trapping them within. Instead, Terry trapped half of the party below, and sought to deal with the other half - if they just waited, there would be fewer to share the gold with! In the ensuing action, Terry was slain when a mace crushed his head, and the disarmed Phil fled from the party, out of the Moktar's lair.
