History[]

Division of Public Benefit - C3 intro

the Division of Public Benefit, by Kamille Areopagita and Kevin Areopagita from "A Gathering of Heroes" (3x76).[art 1]

After acquiring an advanced Aeormaton called Fresh Cut Grass, Dancer formed the Division of Public Benefit along with several of her friends.[2][3] They began by working out of Bassuras[4] and branched out into the greater Hellcatch Valley and beyond into the Oderan Wilds.[5] At some point many months before the beginning of Campaign Three, the group was hired by the Rayia Family[6] to clear out their silver mine near Evishi in the Oderan Wilds[7] from unknown monsters. The adventurers camped outside the cave to rest for the night. Sometime during the evening, FCG "broke", going berserk and killing the entire party except Dancer, who managed to escape.[8]
