The Party (player group) is the group of player characters at the center of the Aenarch: Last Winter campaign, whose choices in play — mercy, violence, and backroom deals alike — ripple through the world around them. ^{[last-winter#286 · last-winter#537]}

Overview

The party's recorded actions in play span a botched mercy killing and a criminal affair in which they were drawn into a frame-up, a break-in, and a deal with a local crime boss. ^{[last-winter#286 · last-winter#537]}

The mercy killing

While traveling with a target who was in very poor condition, the party attacked him intending a mercy killing, but he resisted and fought back, and the party ended up truly killing him. ^{[last-winter#286]} The target was a fiend, but a newly transformed one whose only real sin had been making a pact with a devil he did not even understand. ^{[last-winter#286]}

The Ironwood factory affair

The party met goblins who were wanted for a killing; the goblins said they had not committed the crime. ^{[last-winter#537]} Investigating the matter, the party searched a factory at night, triggered a trap, and one of the party's members was spotted by guards and attacked one of them. ^{[last-winter#537]} The party fled afterward, and the assault on a city guard created further chaos for them. ^{[last-winter#537]} The party then struck a deal with the Goblin Gang Leader: the party would help him secure the factory's land, and he would protect them from the guards in return. ^{[last-winter#537]}
