Toil in Silence, Sing at the Feast. These are the words of Beggar Dane, advising hard work until the job is done. The Swords of Liberty have many supporters hidden along the villages of the Border Road, and could field a larger force with the statistics of Bandits, Guards, or Scouts. But numbers alone are rarely useful for the work that has to be done. This is an elite squad prepared to do hard work—kidnapping a Brelish envoy to Droaam, striking a blow against Count ir’Blis, killing a Droaamite ambassador. They fully believe that the Brelish monarchy is working against the interests of the common people—that Breland could have won the Last War, and that the monarchs are in league with the monsters. The leader of this cell is Uthar Roole, an exceptional war-mage who served on Argonth during the Last War. In addition to his personal prowess, Roole is adept at the use of arcane artillery and can create makeshift Blast Disks. His younger brother, Orsen Roole, was a sergeant on Argonth, and he keeps the three Veterans in line. The final member of the squad is Isti Smyth. She served with the King’s Dark Lanterns until she was dismissed for insubordination. She is an exceptional Spy, and has a +2 bonus to all skill checks. She serves as a scout for the squad, helping them gather information and avoid threats.
