The Juggernaut Three

The Juggernaut Three are a roving band of three seasoned adventurers who investigate Demon Doors and the ruins and legends surrounding them. Their number is Duralin, a towering armoured warrior of sword and shield; Onger, a tattooed spear-fighter forever turning over a wooden puzzle-box; and Talna, a hooded yuan-ti scholar of hidden and dangerous lore.

Though small in number, the company possesses powerful magic and appears wherever old mysteries and sealed places overlap. They trade information, but place particular value on knowledge of Demon Doors, strange magical disturbances, and rare beings or artefacts.

Talna’s apprenticeship of Nessa Gorin has also made the trio notable among adventuring circles beyond their own exploits, since Nessa returned from that tutelage as a markedly stronger caster.

History

Little reliable history is publicly attached to the company. They have been seen at the Pine Way Inn, in Arashez, and on the road to Kios, following reports of Demon Doors and other magical phenomena.

Goals

The Three openly seek to locate and open Demon Doors, recovering whatever treasure or lost information lies beyond them. They are guarded with what they know and prefer exchanging information of comparable significance to giving it away.

Methods

Duralin generally handles conversation, while Talna evaluates lore and magic and Onger observes. The group readily trades useful intelligence, especially for information about Demon Doors or unusual magical events.

Membership

Members

  • Duralin - front-line shield-and-sword bruiser, loud in both battle and company.
  • Onger - mute goliath spear specialist, known for his tattoos and ever-present puzzle-box.
  • Talna - hooded yuan-ti mage and scholar of serpent lore and collapse-era secrets.

Process of Joining

The Three are a closed, long-established company rather than a recruiting adventuring guild. Talna has nevertheless accepted at least one personal apprentice, Nessa Gorin.

  • Pine Way Inn - a forest waystation where the Three exchanged information with another adventuring party.
  • Arashez - one stop on their search for Demon Doors.
  • Kios - the site of a Demon Door that resisted their attempts to open it.
