The Ravens’ Gambit

Branwynn Sinclair: As leader of the Ravens, Branwynn takes care of logistics, strategy and human relations. She is extremely adventures and is sometimes seen as reckless by some members of the group. However, she always seems to come out on top and has everyone’s best welfare in mind. Branwynn had a very privileged childhood growing up in a wealthy human family. The scandalous nature of her being half-elven caused her “father” to allow her more freedom than would otherwise be available to a young lady of her standing. It came as little surprise when she ran away, using her expensive fencing lessons as the basis for a career in swashbuckling banditry.

Lucian Fletcher: The shy, grounded member of the party. Lucian offers not only his top-notch archery skills and unerring sense of direction, but also a keen eye and a heavy dose of common sense. The son of a fletcher, he learned how to use a bow at an early age. He mastered his weapon and knowledge of the woodlands as a youth hunting in the woods near his home. He journeyed with none but his faithful canine companion, Abby, before joining up with the Ravens.

Dorahven Ahmrindel: A young wizard with a strong drive to increase her collection of magical talents. Dora, as she is commonly referred to, left her elven homelands upon graduation from an unnamed prestigious wizarding school. With her on her quest for adventure and knowledge she brought Alexander, her uncommonly intelligent weasel. As a member of the Ravens she lends her many magical secrets and quick thinking. Also, having known Branwynn the longest and being the only other girl in the party, she is immune to Branwynn’s more suggestive forms of negotiation. Always willing to give an informed opinion, her insight is always valuable, even if not always asked for.

Jasper Thistlefoot: Standing at an underwhelming three-and-half feet “tall”, Jasper has a knack for sneaking into locations he aught not to be. His specialized skill set includes lock picking, stealthy nocturnal movement, purse recovery, and general wealth acquisition. His best friend since childhood and constant companion is Thomas. Being one of the “little folk”, his charm and biting wit may be easily overlooked, but his custom made repeating crossbow seldom is.

Thomas Rutten: Being imposing in stature, Thomas is the Ravens’ brute force. As much as his strength is appreciated, his most important contribution to the party is his ability to reign in Jasper, and serve as the group’s moral compass. A classic farm boy, Thomas still retains the values and easygoing nature of his youth. Less interested in adventure than the others, he remains to protect his friends.
