description
Skellna Archbane is the only remaining daughter of the Archbane family. She never (openly) goes in the Pit, and thus is not known there, and even in the rest of Runeheim she hasn't drawn much attention. She is actually a talented illusionist who seeks help to lift a curse on her older brother Eldhyl, a member of a dark cult in the Pit called the Blood Daggers. She's the one responsible for the substitution of the characters' bag, with the intention of getting their help by involving them in the schemes taking place in the Pit. Skellna, Nell and Kalseln are the same person and have the stats of a Mage.
Nell, a strange young woman who wanders in the Pit, apparently knows many of its shortcuts and secrets. She is one of Skellna's alter egos.
Kalseln, also called "Kals" is an elusive sorceress leading a band of thieves that recently appeared in the Pit called the Grey Rogues. She is actually another of Skellna's alternate identities.
Mage: Mages spend their lives in the study and practice of magic. Good-aligned mages offer counsel to nobles and others in power, while evil mages dwell in isolated sites to perform unspeakable experiments without interference.
