Hey everyone! Time to meet the wild new trio from the City of Chains — Guild members who sparked a proper brawl in the tavern! I’m thrilled with how their personalities turned out, and today I’m sharing their first art pieces. Ready for another taste of the Valley of Hem? Let’s dive in! 😎

In our prelude, Alric spends a day in the City of Chains, where charming cottages and flowerbeds mask the harsh reality of the Slavers Guild’s auctions. One of his choices is to hit the tavern, where a fight might break out. And here’s the crew that started it:

Papa M: Looks calm and level-headed, but his stare screams, “Uh, what’s that supposed to mean?” This guy doesn’t pick fights, but he’s ready to throw down if pushed.

Mashka: Not a goblin, but an orc — in our setting, the difference isn’t as big as in classic fantasy. Her sly grin betrays a master of cussing, outswearing not one sailor, but a whole crew of 20!

Hunter: A polished thug who loves dressing sharp. You can tell he’s always up for a scrap, but he does it with style.

This trio may be side characters, but their vibes bring the City of Chains to life. In the tavern scene, built on Ren'Py, you might face them in a fighting-game-style mini-game, where Alric’s choices shape his path.

Check out the art and share your thoughts! More scenes or lore coming soon. Which of these three speaks to you? Want to know more about their role in the brawl? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
