The time has come, our faithful listeners! It’s our finale, Coups & Contracts! Our merry band of adventurers has found their way into the biggest battle they have ever faced! The journey ends here at the very place it began with the characters we met in our very first episode. Don’t miss this exciting battle as we roll dice, take and give damage, and greatly enjoy our time together. Did our characters live or die in this battle? You must listen to find out!
Many thanks to Evan for writing this original Pathfinder story. The Keeper of the Dead proved to be a fertile learning ground for those of us unfamiliar with pen and paper role-playing games. I feel much better versed in the mechanics of the game but still feel like I have a lot to learn about active and engaged role-playing.
As always, we love your feedback. Let us know in the comments about your first role-playing campaign and what you learned during that journey.

Until next time, get your geek on!

The Characters
Hargath (Mark)
Human Cleric
Alignment: Neutral Good
Hargath is a reformed murderer/thief. He became a member of Sarenrae’s order after a cleric from the order showed him mercy. At 36, he started his Cleric teachings older than most and his blond hair has begun to grey. Recently he had a falling out with the church he was based out of due to discovering the chief priest there embezzling gold for his own purposes. He now looks to find adventurers that he can travel with in the hopes of finding a new church and helping anyone he can along the way. Whether that means healing people, bringing evil-doers to the light or smiting evil that won’t makes little difference to him.
Sevarka Sunseeker (Dante)
Gnome Sorceress
Alignment: Neutral Good
The cheerfully optimistic, orange skinned, green haired gnome called Sevarka Sunseeker describes herself as a professional nomad. Friend to all she comes across, her delightful facade hides a family secret. Generations ago, a dragon assumed gnomish form bedded one of the Sunseeker family progenitors. The eldest born daughter of each Sunseeker generation manifests aspects of the dragon and inherits its magical talents. Sevarka is the first born daughter of her generation, and wanders to discover the the origins of her draconic blood and what that means for the legacy of the Sunseeker clan.
Neraden Runka (Regina)
Dwarf Barbarian
Alignment: Neutral Good
Neraaden (Nera like Vera for short) is the middle daughter of a large dwarf family. With 10 siblings, she feels underappreciated and overlooked by her family. She leaves her family with dreams of finding success on the road but encounters disaster almost as soon as she leaves. She persevered as she journeyed farther and father from home, hoping one day she might return home a celebrated hero.
Freya Redsun (Isabela)
Half-Elf Ranger
Alignment: Neutral Good
Freya is a half-elf that is striking out on her own after clashing with her elfish mother one too many times. She wants to find out who she is without the influence of her family. Freya’s mother was born into a royal elvish family but gave up the luxuries of that life to be with the human man she came to love. Freya carries the weight of her mother’s sacrifice with heavy resentment.
