The Future of Clan Lampo, the political climate of Any How Town


Resolu Lampo is one of the youngest members of Clan Lampo, but is fiercely dedicated to their cause in AHT, he is often found delivering loud speeches in the town square. Incredibly intelligent for his age he is definitely a person to watch. Resolu is not happy that his Uncle (--Don't have my notes in front of me-) Lampo, lost the last town election to The Phipps Double (see entry, coming soon) and has sworn to do anything to restore the honour of the Clan.

The First Good War, Heroes (Cont'd)








Handelin Games of Birthplace Mighty and Secure - Handelin is the most decorated hero of the First Good War, a living legend, unfortunately the brutality of the events of the F.G.W led him to seek solace in the Osolin Sugar Monastery, and he hasn't been down to AHT since, but occasionally was consulted for advice during the LGW (Last Good War), his answers were cryptic at best.

Cold Offering- is the oldest member of the Green Points Tribe, another hero of the LGW, responsible for fending off Gardan raiders along the coast, unfortunately he often didn't descriminate against the who were attacked, so guard patrols were also attacked by Green Points Natives, they were just protecting themselves. He wears his hair in the style of Handelin Games as Handelin is the only "white" man, that Cold Offering respects.
Inforina Skane- Inforina was a chemist during the FGW responsible for the creation of "The Zieglar Fluid" an elixir that helped soldiers regain their strength and heal faster than normal, unfortunately her long term exposure to the chemicals that created the fluid have destroyed her lungs leaving her incapicitated and kept alive by strange devices of her own making. She really is a kindly old woman, but children rarely walk across her doorstep due to her appearance and the sound of the pumps and gears that keep her breathing.
Ketchum Contagious- Not much is remembered about Ketchum, even his identity is a mystery, he walks through Any How Town in his shroud and keeps to the dark corners behind the buildings. He claims that he was a soldier in the FGW, but records from back then have failed to identify him and he is never seen without his "fort". His name was given to him by the citizens of AHT and he happily will answer to it - and then run away.

Been a long time, you're looking good.





At top: "Lucien Dentatus" the manager of the Orrow Water Bottling Plant, one of the slickest operators in town Lucien fiercely protects the interests of Orrow and most importantly, his own interests, he's got dirt on everyone in town. Also at top is the first sketch when I was trying to design helmets for the Gardan Infantry but quickly abandoned the idea, I was at the Done Right Inn and realized I needed a gas mask reference to successfully create the head gear.

Second Page First Sketch of "Remover Jacobs" who looks entirely too healthy for what I had in mind for the character. Jadis Adee, local celebrity novelist is also pictured and Sebastien Lampo of the Clan Lampo
Last Page Here are some of the folks who spend most of their time at "The Monday Hatred", Merriman Harrigan has his own character "card" here at the site, Hasher Hatstand, former sniper and cardsharp is always present, playing cards and Rettling "Midnight" Headon, occasionally acts as a doorman for the busier nights.
If you're wondering where I've been for so long (so sorry) check "the mad craft shoppe" site (see links) I hope to post five more characters this week and then start doing all the thumbnail work for the first story, which has been scripted and has languished since late February in the dedicated "Any How Town" sketchbook.
