A merchant, seeking an adventure of her own after being inspired by a journal. A cleric, taking up her sister's role in a holy pilgrimage after their father fell ill. A former knight, struggling to find his place after his country had fallen. A huntress, pursuing a beast who had turned her master to stone. An apothecary, following his dream to help others while asking nothing in return. A scholar, following forbidden knowledge while being completely blinded to the many swooning women he left in his wake. [ She sounds amused, at least. ] And a thief, who stole from the wrong home and was coerced into stealing their treasure back for them in order to win his freedom.
