Since the launch of the fourth campaign, recently appointed game master Brennan Lee Mulligan has kept viewers on edge with deep backstory, a wide array of heroes, and a exciting storyline showcasing angels, fiends, and malevolent powers growing in strength within Dol-Makjar.
Note: Revealing details for Episode 3 of Campaign 4 follow below.
The Soldiers Table Introduced
Episode 3 finished on a dramatic pause and introduced the premier party of adventurers who will split off from the primary party to begin their independent quest, distinct from the additional parties.
This warrior group includes the determined fighter (portrayed by the voice actor), Thimble (the talented performer), Tyranny (Whitney Moore), Wicander (Sam Riegel), and Kattigan Vale (Robbie).
Dividing the Cast
Given an extensive roster, it was obvious from the outset that keeping everyone at the same party would be impossible.
Hence, the opening chapters of the new season serve as an Prelude, weaving together the characters’ stories before splitting into three distinct groups: Warriors, Schemers, and Questers.
Characteristics of the Soldiers Table
According to Brennan Lee Mulligan, the combat-focused party is for adventurers who enjoy a classically intense fight-heavy gameplay experience where peaceful solutions are scarce.
Upon first impression, characters like the squeamish cleric Wicander Halovar might look unsuited, but the events of the latest installment demonstrate why these five characters are ideally matched for the Soldiers table.
Reasons to Leave
For one thing, the group understands precisely where to head next after a violent opening clash with the enemy group.
A former ally of Thjazi Fang—whose passing kicked off the story’s plot—manipulated The Crow Keepers for his personal gain, entering Thjazi’s hideout, assaulting the rogue, and stealing all the magical artifacts to dispose of.
The traitor then paid off his debts and escaped to a secure base in Gormalay, Timmony, beyond Dol-Makjar, with Cyd close behind.
Character Drivers
Moreover, each member has a specific drive to depart the urban setting:
- The agile hero, as Thjazi’s partner and closest confidant, desires revenge.
- The knowledgeable figure has experience in Timmony and cautions that it is a hostile place.
- Tyranny and The cleric, having defied his family’s wishes to execute the target and instead saved him, have no safe haven.
- However, their reputation as key figures in House Halovar could assist the group enter places they typically wouldn’t be able to.
- Furthermore, The fighter vowed a life debt to Wicander for his rescue and will now follow him everywhere.
Wanted and Hunted
Lastly, all of them are wanted by the powers that govern the city for a variety of reasons, making staying in the city dangerous:
- The rogue and Kattigan are notorious outlaws.
- The strong figure and The cleric turned against the powerful family and the horde of evil beings they are aligned with.
- Teor is targeted for elimination by House Halovar.
This leaves them little choice but to head to the northern region in search of Casimir.
Upcoming Developments
According to the latest episode’s Cooldown, we find out that the warrior group won’t be around the following episode, leaving the rest of the players to round up the Explorers and Planners tables.
Audiences can expect finding out which characters will be where in the season’s concluding setup installment, streaming live on October 24.
