Ever since the premiere of Campaign 4, fresh DM Brennan Mulligan has kept viewers on edge with deep backstory, a colorful mix of heroes, and a exciting storyline featuring angels, demons, and sinister influences expanding in influence within Dol-Makjar.
Warning: Revealing details for Episode 3 of this adventure are included.
The Soldiers Table Introduced
The third episode finished on a major cliffhanger and presented the first table of heroes who will branch out from the main group to embark on their separate journey, distinct from the other two tables.
The Soldiers table consists of the determined fighter (played by the voice actor), the nimble rogue (Laura Bailey), the fierce warrior (Whitney Moore), Wicander Halovar (the player), and Kattigan Vale (Robbie).
The Reason for Division
With 13 cast members, it was clear from the start that having everyone at the same party would be impossible.
Hence, the first four episodes of Campaign 4 serve as an Prelude, weaving together the individual narratives before splitting into three smaller tables: Fighters, Strategists, and Explorers.
The Nature of the Soldiers Table
Per Brennan Lee Mulligan, the warrior group is for players who enjoy a classically intense battle-oriented gameplay experience where non-violent answers are rare.
Initially, characters like the reluctant priest Wicander Halovar might seem out of place, but the developments of the third episode show why these five characters are best suited for the combat party.
Motivations for Departure
First, the team has a clear idea where to proceed after a intense initial meeting with the antagonists.
A former ally of the deceased character—whose death started the narrative’s action—exploited The Crow Keepers for his own means, entering the hidden lair, striking the character, and stealing all the powerful objects to dispose of.
The antagonist then cleared his debts and escaped to a secure base in the remote area, above the city, with Teor’s brother hot on his heels.
Personal Motivations
Secondly, each character has a individual motive to leave the city the metropolitan area:
- The agile hero, as the close ally and trusted friend, desires retribution.
- The knowledgeable figure knows Timmony and advises that it is a dangerous environment.
- The strong character and The cleric, having disobeyed his relatives’ demands to eliminate the target and instead saved him, have nowhere else to go.
- But, their position as prominent individuals in House Halovar could help the party reach areas they typically wouldn’t be able to.
- Furthermore, The grateful character swore a life debt to Wicander for his deliverance and will now accompany him everywhere.
Fugitives
Lastly, all of them are hunted by the powers that control the city for a multiple motives, making lingering locally no longer safe:
- The agile adventurer and Kattigan are recognized lawbreakers.
- The strong figure and The healer betrayed the influential house and the horde of evil beings they are partnered with.
- Teor is wanted dead by House Halovar.
This results in them little choice but to head to the remote area in quest for the traitor.
What’s Next?
Based on the latest episode’s post-show segment, we find out that the Soldiers table won’t be around in the upcoming installment, leaving the rest of the players to form the Seekers and Schemers parties.
