Non-Player Characters

Cirilli Finla, who changed her last name to Loravaris, is a fierce, independent teenager, throwing herself passionately into her goal of becoming a ranger. She has become the ward of the ranger, Atalaya, and
is like a daughter to her. She was rescued by the Class of '81 when they found her imprisoned by an evil cult (Against the Cult of the Reptile God), and she swore she'd never go back to her abusive and brainwashed family. 

Vasilya "Boz" Boswell is the de-facto chieftain of his small caravan. A Gur from the Western Heartlands, he possesses his family's trait of precognition, although he has not been trained in how to control it.  

A crime boss put a price on his head in Waterdeep of 500 gp for pulling a sizable score on the turf of a local syndicate without cutting them in. 

The Waterdeep constabulary put a 500gp price on his head for the exact same offense. 

Boz doesn't go to Waterdeep anymore. 

Inman Sutter is a Daggerford War Wizard, and the grandson of Rufus Sutter. He was Nevil's lover before she was married, and thanks to Seraphina and her machinations, has been reunited with her. He has also maintained his loyalty to the Harpers, and must tread very, very carefully given the dangerous potential conflict of interest of those two factions. 

Sorrow Telenus is a popular Tiefling
g Lore bard from the city of Baldur's Gate. As a teenager, Sorrow went to study under Master Elaria Feywing, along with his best friend, Joan of Gell. Later, he divested himself of his oppressive family and headed back north to Daggerford, where he and Joan befriended Vasilya Boswell and his small caravan of transients. The friendship blossomed into more of a family, and the travelling life suited him, so he stayed on. 

Seraphina Greenbottle is the halfling den mother of the group. A halfling from the village of Shining Falls, she has taught Grinda a lot about cooking and gardening. She happily takes the youngsters when they are in need of supervision, and always makes sure something is cooking when the group returns home. 

However, no one except perhaps Boz really knows all that much about her. She disappears on mysterious errands and seems to be more in the know regarding political intrigue than your average halfling mom ought to.

The Crew

Atalaya Loravaris is a half-Elven ranger from the High Forest. She is stern and no-nonsense. Inheriting her Wood Elven father's restless nature, she followed in his footsteps and became a ranger, though she also learned much from her mother, a human healer and midwife. 

Atalaya is played by an old gaming friend of the DM's, and though they've played in two other campaigns together over the years (one complete homebrew and one Boot Hill), it's the first time playing 5e.

 

Nevil de Crouse is a human paladin and Harper whose fortunes have lead her path to cross with Atalaya's in Saltmarsh. Nevil's association with the Harpers is what very possibly led to her husband and family being killed when her village was raided. She has vowed to learn who was responsible and bring them to justice. 

Nevil's player is married to the GM from a long-running Land of Azurth campaign, being run by Trey of  From the Sorcerer's Skull, which is how this campaign's GM met her. 

Regina, the Dungeon Master, learned to play Advanced Dungeons and Dragons back in High School. She learned a little over 40 years ago, from an amazingly cool math teacher named Paula Hough. She's since learned 5e through playing for years in  Trey Causey's (From the Sorcerer's Skull) Azurth campaign. 

As a kid, she read in the paper that business about the kid "playing games in the sewer and then going nuts and killing himself." 

Even as a kid, she knew something about that story was horseshit. 

She also knew she needed to find someone to teach her that game.
