The Thrappled Lemmings have been a staple of my gaming since I GMed a Palladium FRP campaign back in the mists of the Stone Age. It was a campaign typical of a bunch of slackers looking for some structured socialising and storytelling: long on fun, short on common sense. Since then, I have used the name for a bunch of warbands. My Rangers of Shadow Deep warband has that name. Now the group gets a new incarnation for my Five Leages from the Borderlands campaign. The key thing is that each of these groups embodies the values and spirit of all that have proudly borne this name before.
This post sets out the team at the start. They will get their own page on this blog where their progress will be tracked
Region: Utavoll
Location: Somewhere near Utstein Marknad
Gold Marks: 3
Story Points: 3
Lysanthir Dawncloud (Avatar)
Origin: Fey Mystic (Level 1)
- Ag: 1
- Spd: 4/3
- Cbt: +0
- Tough: 3
- Will: 1
- Cast: +1
Proficiencies: Foresight, Aura of Winter, Cursed

Equipment: Congealed Strands (2), Bastard sword (+0/+1), Staff (-1/0, Parry), Ring of Protection (Light armour 1)
Lysanthir is the leader of the The Trappled Lemmings. He is an Elven wizard and a great one for ideas. Unfortunately, he is not so much of a doer, and it is up to the rest of the Thrappled Lemmings to finish what he starts. The shenanigans started this time because he found an old map in the archives while researching a spell for perfect poached eggs every time. The map points to a dungeon full of treasure in the newly discovered land of Utavoll. All they have to do is get there and find it.
Sir Thiebault de Faicterau
Origin: Human Noble (Level 1)
- Ag: 1
- Spd: 6/3
- Cbt: +0
- Tough: 3
- Luck: 2
- Will: 2
Proficiencies: Driven
Skills: +1 [SPEECH], Leadership, Wilderness
Equipment: Bastard sword (+0/+1), Chain armour (Partial armour 2), Shield (+1 vs Ranged, Parry), Helm
The third son of a third son, Sir Thiebault has been living on his wits since he was born. He hopes that his involvement with the Thrappled Lemmings means that he can live off Lysanthir's wits. Thiebault is the doer of the group. He makes Lysanthir's ideas happen, although he does admit in his quiet moments that he is unsure about this new plan or the veracity of Lysanthir's map.
Drogo Durjardins
Origin: Human Frontiersman (Level 1)
- Ag: 1
- Spd: 6/3
- Cbt: +0
- Tough: 3
Proficiencies: Driven
Skills: +1 [SPEECH], Speech, Expertise
Equipment: Two-handed axe (+0/+1), Chain armour (Partial armour 2)
Drogo was born on the margins of Thiebault's estate, son of a poor woodcutter's daughter. One day, Thiebault and Lysanthir rode through town and Drogo grabbed his axe and joined the Thrappled Lemmings. He has regretted it ever since.
Onésipe De Quincey
Origin: Human Townsman (Level 1)
- Ag: 1
- Spd: 4/3

- Tough: 4
Proficiencies: Driven
Skills: +1 [SPEECH]
Equipment: Crossbow (24", +1/+0, Bulky, Limited ammunition), Light weapon (-1/+0) Light armour (1)
Onésipe was always looking for the main chance, and then Thiebault rode through town looking like a million gold pieces (It had been a lucky week, and few were like that ever again). Onésipe joined up immediately and is now heartily sick of the gruel they regularly eat.
Fulrad

- Cbt: +0
- Tough: 3
Proficiencies: Driven

Fulrad needed a job and the Thrappled Lemmings hired him. As long as they continue to pay him, he will stay with them.

Wido needed to leave his job with the city guard in a hurry. 'Luckily' the Thrappled Lemmings were recruiting.
