AC 18, touch 9, flat-footed 18.
The noble crusader battles the forces of chaos, usually at the behest of a local monarch.
Oriedesme Eisbrin
Oriedesme is a crusader for law against the forces of chaos. As a minor noble, she frequently allies with other members of the nobility, who call her "Esme the Peacemaker." She considers it her duty to eliminate dangerous monsters and even peasant uprisings that threaten to turn bloody. She serves a good and just goddess and refuses to participate in evil acts such as terrorizing villagers, but frowns on acts of anarchy that risk plunging an area into war. She believes nobles are chosen by the gods to rule over others for the benefit of all, even if this means fewer freedoms for commoners. She is painfully honest, and reluctant to work with any noble who shirks responsibilities or abuses power.
Combat Encounters
Esme works well alone or in a leadership role. She might be an ally of a powerful character, using her neutrality to get things done for a good employer or moderating a nearly evil one.
Roleplaying Suggestions
Esme might ask for assistance in dealing with an undead or fiendish threat beyond her capabilities. She could serve as an important intermediary with the local nobility, especially if the PCs have preexisting conflicts with the nobles. Esme could also be cynically close to losing her faith, giving the PCs the opportunity to save her before she falls from grace.

1st-bless water, charm personD (DC 14), comprehend languages, detect undead, hide from undead
0 (at will)-detect magic, detect poison, guidance, virtue
D Domain spell; Domains Chaos, Charm
Tactics
During Combat The cleric tries to persuade living, intelligent opponents to stop fighting and discuss a peaceful solution over a drink, using calm emotions, charm person, or suggestion if necessary. When fighting undead, he casts eagle's splendor to improve his channel energy ability, and uses his potion and scroll if the battle goes poorly.
The carousing champion serves the god of freedom, bravery, and ale, and uses his significant abilities to bring happiness to common folk and stand up against oppression of all sorts.
Eggal Torkelson
Eggal is a friendly, outgoing young halfling, generous with his spirit, spirits, money, and affection—but not particularly bright. Fortunately, Eggal is so likable and headstrong that few ever try to take advantage of him, and those who do discover that his lack of "book learning" hasn't done anything to dull his innate cunning, and he remembers who has done him wrong every bit as well as he recalls who has done him favors, repaying both with interest. He wants to see the world and enjoy life, and doesn't particularly care whether people are good or selfish as long they don't try to hurt him or anyone he cares about—to him, his god's creed of freedom above all means accepting that some people were born mean-spirited, and are entitled to their pettiness and jealousy as long as they don't go out of their way to oppress others. For his own part, he'd rather help someone than ignore a request for aid, and has been known to expound at length upon the simple joys of helping others. He avoids killing unless absolutely necessary, even among those more "monstrous" humanoid races, but hates undead with a passion and goes out of his way to destroy such abominations.
Combat Encounters
Though he is hard to influence with magic, clever lies and subtle manipulation can easily turn Eggal against the PCs, and it's not uncommon for him to come into conflict with the lawful authorities in a region if he feels they are profiting at the expense of the common people. If he sees the PCs as agents of oppression, regardless of their justifications, he's likely to oppose them—with his mace if necessary. Because of his reluctance to kill, he is useful for an encounter where the PCs should negotiate or surrender instead of fighting.
Roleplaying Suggestions
Eggal can be a reliable feature of local taverns, even showing up in other cities where the PCs travel. Because he tends to help when asked, he might end up in over his head and need rescuing, or have friends in need of rescue. He can also help out the PCs as an ally against undead, as a backup healer, or as a contact in Cayden Cailean's church.

The vivisectionist cleric serves the god of pain and darkness, and can keep victims alive for weeks.
Melisai Hesani
Melisai is personable despite her arrogance, and considers herself a surgeon and a sculptor. When not adventuring, she works with poorhouse medics, embalmers preparing bodies, and torturers—anyone who gives her the opportunity to experiment. She prefers the company of like-minded adventurers, but if none are available, she animates zombies.
Combat Encounters: Melisai is useful as an enemy leader, member of a rival adventuring party, or servant of an important NPC or villain.
Roleplaying Suggestions
Though evil and disturbing, Melisai is easy to get along with. She is forthright, and has no problem helping the PCs if it achieves her own ends.

D Domain spell; Domains Destruction, Evil
Tactics
Before Combat The cleric casts protection from energy (fire).
During Combat The cleric casts divine power and shield of faith at the start of combat, then closes to melee distance. If combat starts and he cannot reach any opponents on the first round, he casts chaos hammer or unholy blight. If fighting creatures he knows are good, he uses his scythe of evil ability on his greataxe. If he has allies, he casts prayer.
The wrath priest serves the primordial god of disaster and destruction, striking down innocents and enemies with fire, blade, and hatred. He is a quintessential nihilist, and can not be bought or reasoned with except as it furthers his god's horrific ends.
Aznek
Aznek is cruel, violent, and destructive—a childhood bully given profane magic and physical might. He loves the screams of his victims, and smashes beautiful things for the fun of it. He likes having strong minions, and encourages them to challenge him for dominance, though none has succeeded. He lets these would-be rivals live, albeit with broken arms or legs as reminders of their failure.
Combat Encounters
Aznek makes a good solo encounter, boss of a group of raiders (especially orcs), or minion of a strong leader or powerful warbeast.
