Mercenaries in Crestwold

The Baron does not like to keep a large retinue of soldiers, and relies instead on mercenaries which can be expenses from his tax collections. Typically, there are 20-80 mercenaries/adventurers at any given time in Torrelsons Ford.

  1. The Jalesmen > They will appear only if the party turned down the champion of Crestwold’s offer at the beginning.

    Background: They are from wherever the party was. They will have the same number in their party as party# and be half the party’s average level (add a level if the party is really powerful). They will have normal goods and the items from the dead last champion Krillian.

    Killing Them = REPUTATION -1
  2. Troll Hunters of Sweetwater > A seasoned band of freebooters

    Background: From Sweetwater in Loamwald – Dwarves, half elves and halflings a – a dozen. Down to 3! They are more an adventuring band, not mercenary. Been around for 14 years together (a couple almost double that time before merging with larger group), seen a few come and go, very successful, ready to retire.

    Expertise: way above average /favored tactics: ambush /origins: Adventurers – Loamwold malcontents, not mercenaries /allies: none /enemies: everywhere they go – but not welcome in Loamwold ever again apparently /leaders: keeps this secret mostly, present multiple faces

      The Furflung Killers

      They had been fighting for the halflings on the western shore of Loamwold against small landings by the Gwinnish marines for a few years. Their overland speed through the forest made their small band perfect as a strike force against marine landings.
