Outsiders

Buddy

outsider · aliveWary

Rayna

Korlok's second, and the one actually running the raid on The Rock.

Riswynn

outsider · alive

A broad-shouldered dwarven engineer with a tool belt full of wrenches, sent to walk the crew down to the Reclamation Center.

A rogue synthetic ND-E has hunted for years: he sold out the gnome mercenary Onerous to the men he owed, killed him, and vanished with the money.

Scraps

Owner of the Slag Pit, said to know everyone and everything on Forge Home and to be one of the few people worth trusting there.

The Slag Pit Ruffians

Jax

prisoner · aliveWard

A boy of maybe thirteen, with ears that stick out, new to The Rock and scared out of his mind.

Korlok

prisoner · aliveThreat

Self-proclaimed captain of the Rust Tide Pirates. Nobody knows if the title is real. Everybody knows he's a grade-A asshole.

Mira Doss

A hulking tabaxi in a shirt several sizes too small, who claims to know the back ways out.

Old Greg

An east-wing prisoner and a source of the block's more elaborate rumors.

One of two friendly faces from the yard, stranded on the wrong side of a collapsed catwalk.

Red

The other of the two, stuck on the same ledge and shouting for the same help.

Guards

Corporal Wexel

A guard of maybe twenty who locked himself in the guard tower and cried, with his thumb near the button that floods the block with riot glass.

Hale

A cruel, heavyset guard the party found being beaten to death in the library, and left there.

Staffs

Dr. Voss

staff · deadThreat

Project lead on The Rock's research wing, found wearing her own nurse's coat and wiping the servers.

Nurse Pellen

A massive four-legged smelting crane, weaponized by St. Crow's virus, that nearly killed Vyakti Nau before the crew burned it down.

Sidekicks

Onerous

Sidekick · aliveAlly

ND-E's familiar: a volleyball-sized drone he built for company and casework, named for the gnome mercenary who once saved him. Speaks in angry modem noises and repeats people's insults back two pitches higher.
