Shrapknell NPCS

Oleg
Owner of the Trading Post, husband to Svetlana. A hardy man in his mid 40s, a former soldier who wanted to settle down far away from the city. Not a terribly rich man, he is nevertheless harried by bandits. One week before the party arrived, the bandits trapped Oleg inside a burning storehouse while they attempted to sexually assault Svetlana. Oleg has severe burns to almost all parts of his body, but his bandages are cared for by his wife.

Svetlana
Wife to Oleg, and initial requester of help with the bandits. She enjoyed the peaceful life with Oleg until the bandits came. After suffering from a sexual assault, she does her best to mask her fear of outsiders by being overly welcoming. In truth, she was always a kind person, and does her best to take care of Oleg in this difficult time. During the assault, one of the bandits stole her wedding ring, but she hides this fact from Oleg for fear he will run off into the woods in a suicidal attempt to reclaim it.

The first party
Several parties were dispatched to the area in order to answer a summons to clear out bandits. One of them has all but disbanded already, the stragglers remaining at the trading post.

Kyoko
Hailing from the far off land of Lodone, Kyoko is a rare beauty, hiding her face underneath a semi transparent pink veil. A traveling merchant, she arrived in Shrapknell in order to barter exotic goods for quality metal. She rests at Oleg's after suffering a terrible accident, a bite from an unknown swamp creature has left her left leg black, and she is unable to walk. She rests inside the trading post, trading stories and playing her Shamisen, in hopes that a healer will pass through. Though she is likable, she speaks poor common.

Pascal
A scholarly Windling, fair in skin and well on in age, he traveled to Shrapknell in order to study the indigenous life. After one of his party members was torn apart by a Werewolf in the swamp, he has become slightly obsessed. In truth, he comes from a family of Druids who revere lycanthropes. Because of this, he sees the presence of a Werewolf as a fated opportunity to study them up close.

Colin
An elven martial artist, he came to the swamp in search of his missing brother. Both were raised by a master of a secret deadly ki based martial art. Nolan was never as strong of a fighter as his brother, but his cool head lead his master to declare Nolan the rightful successor to his art. In his bitterness, Nolan's brother stole the master's secret scrolls containing forbidden techniques, and absconded away to Shrapknell to study them.
