From the very beginning of the fourth campaign, fresh DM Brennan Lee Mulligan has maintained audience suspense with rich lore, a colorful mix of heroes, and a exciting storyline showcasing celestial beings, fiends, and sinister influences expanding in power within the city.
Heads-up: Key plot points for the latest installment of Campaign 4 lie ahead.
The Combat-Oriented Party Unveiled
The third episode concluded with a major cliffhanger and presented the first table of adventurers who will separate from the central cast to undertake their own adventure, apart from the remaining groups.
The Soldiers table features Teor (portrayed by the voice actor), the agile character (the talented performer), Tyranny (Whitney), Wicander (the player), and Kattigan Vale (the actor).
Dividing the Cast
Considering an extensive roster, it was evident from the outset that having everyone at the same party would be unworkable.
That’s why, the initial installments of the new season serve as an Introduction, intertwining the personal journeys before branching into three separate parties: Warriors, Planners, and Seekers.
The Nature of the Soldiers Table
According to Brennan Lee Mulligan, the warrior group is for players who enjoy a classically intense battle-oriented gameplay experience where diplomatic options are scarce.
At first glance, figures such as the reluctant priest Wicander Halovar might look unsuited, but the actions of the third episode make it clear why these five characters are perfectly fit for the Soldiers table.
Motivations for Departure
For one thing, the group knows exactly where to go next after a brutal opening clash with the antagonists.
A former ally of the deceased character—whose passing initiated the narrative’s action—used the foes for his own means, breaking into the hidden lair, striking the character, and stealing all the powerful objects to dispose of.
Casimir then cleared his debts and fled to a Halovar stronghouse in the northern region, above Dol-Makjar, with Teor’s brother hot on his heels.
Character Drivers
Moreover, each character has a specific drive to leave the city the urban setting:
- The rogue, as Thjazi’s partner and best friend, seeks vengeance.
- Kattigan knows Timmony and advises that it is a dangerous location.
- Tyranny and The healer, having disobeyed his house’s orders to kill Teor and instead saved him, have no other options.
- But, their status as important members in the influential clan could enable the party reach areas they usually can’t.
- Moreover, The fighter pledged a eternal obligation to The cleric for his deliverance and will now accompany him everywhere.
Fugitives
Finally, all of them are hunted by the powers that govern the city for a multiple motives, making lingering locally no longer safe:
- Thimble and The character are notorious outlaws.
- The strong figure and The cleric betrayed House Halovar and the horde of evil beings they are aligned with.
- Teor is targeted for elimination by the clan.
This means them little choice but to journey toward Timmony in search of the antagonist.

According to the latest episode’s post-show segment, we find out that the Soldiers table will be absent next week, leaving the other eight participants to assemble the Seekers and Schemers tables.
