#Vengeance of the blood ravens free

Joining Lucas was his old highway man partner Bill, Giney a reckless and destitue young woman whoвЂ™s father had been crippled and ruined by injuries sustained under OllaineвЂ™s command and finally, Weisel, a local cut throat paid through the last of LucasвЂ™ savings. The four of them met and made their plans to kill Ollaine. Lucas called together some of his underworld contacts to aid him in his plan for vengeance (my Frostgrave thieves in actual fact)! The following evening, he called some of his old contacts together and in the basement of the SheepвЂ™s Head tavern, they made their plot. Hearing his comrades openly praise her was the final straw for his embittered mind. Since her admission to the Ravens, Lucas had been furious, not forgetting how his cousin Toby had died under her command and the insult that not only had she been pardoned but the king himself had added her to the ranks of the Ravens! Over the last few weeks, his anger had tempered and grown into a poisonous and murderous hatred.

As the drinks continued into the night, no one noticed Lucas slip away his blood boiling with fury and indignation. Johrn, his old friend, properly drunk now, nudged him and tried to draw him out of his silenceвЂ¦ вЂYou have to admit Lucas, sheвЂ™s more than made up for past misgivings! SheвЂ™s a Raven through and through that one!вЂ™. Lucas sat in sullen silence, the cold and distant Ollaine had been an unpopular addition to the Ravens, but things seemed to be changing. As the evening continued the conversation turned more and more to Ollaine and her heroics at Tor Varden. Sir Bors, Johrn and Roderick all praised TerrinвЂ™s bravery but he was quick to deflect the praise, вЂњYou want to see bravery, why you should be praising that Ollaine! She fights like a demon! You should have seen her in action against those gnolls!вЂ™. Fresh from several hours of interview with Arrin and the KingвЂ™s council, Terrin, a guard from Tor Varden who had bravely fought the Shadow Demon alongside Freja recounted the tale. News had reached them of the recapture of Tor Varden and that Freja and Tristan had set off on a mission into the Shadow Deep itself. In the days following the recapture of Tor Varden and the temporary victory over the forces of the Shadowdeep along the border, several of the Ravens sat in the main hall of RavenвЂ™s keep, celebrating their victory with ale and sharing their war stories. Embittered by her admission to the Ravens he secretly plots revengeвЂ¦ Unbeknownst to the ravens, Lukas cousin was one of the soldiers lost to OllaineвЂ™s reckless command several years ago. Lukas, nicknamed the redfox, was a former bandit who earned his redemption as an advance scout for the military. During the assault on Tor Varden, she personally slew several gnolls, including two chieftains! Lucas вЂRed FoxвЂ™ вЂ“ pictured here on the right, next to fellow rouge Mattheas.

Ollaine is an unstable and berserk fighter,who is met with mistrust by the rest of the soldierly which forms the core of the Ravens.

Despite the petitions from the widows of her former comrades, young king Arethic has sensed unspent valor in Ollaine and has chosen to free her from her bonds and assign her to the Ravens in their time of need. Returning with the head of a Gnoll warchief and only a few bloodied comrades, Olliane was court martialled, flogged and thrown in the dungeons of Tallis. Defying her superiors orders, she marched her soldiers deep behind enemy lines on a bloody revenge mission. During the campaign against the gnoll warbands of the North, her unit suffered an inglorious defeat. Ollaine was once a foot sergeant in the Alladore military. So why does Lucas hate Ollaine so much? HereвЂ™s a recap on their back stories from my first post: Ollaine Thatchwright I started with describing the story to Sarah before we continuedвЂ¦

The companions have lives all of their own and things of consequence happen whilst weвЂ™re away on mission! In particular, the rogue Lucas and our disgraced former Foot Sergeant Ollaine Thatchwright, who after her deeds at Tor Varden has become one of our firm favourite companions!ДЄs a quick mini-game in between major missions, I came up with a simple scenario that could be played through in ten minutes or so to add to the internal drama and reinforcing the idea that the world doesnвЂ™t just revolve around our main characters. Back when I first created the back stories for all our companion characters, I wanted to create some inner tension and turmoil between the cast, by making some of them have reason to hate one another.
