This Guild works under the direction of Skull Hierophant Autumn-Sky-Topaz. The Avatar Hand seeks out threats to humanity and snuffs out eldritch horrors in the name of the God-Empress and Her Oracle-Avatar. They are people of faith, of righteousness, and of the will necessary to do what must be done.

Archfaction Guild aligned with the Free Tribes

A fellowship mired in cooperation, self-interest, and a little bit of controlled chaos, the Freebooters Guild is granted first glance to the mercenary and grey market contracts of the Scavvers, Cartels, and other Free Tribes. The Booters like to operate in the light and the shady spaces of local law, which grants them no small amount of scrutiny from the Peace Makers and other lawful individuals.

Those Freefolk without a Guild may find camaraderie and some profit therein.

KNOWN DELVES:

MAR 100 BTF: KING'S GUARD was quickly debriefed on the situation and they sprung into action! Their mission was the activation of a beacon/relay point and then guarding it. The group was assigned to "Point 1" out of 5 available points. There were no issues with the activation of the beacons. But without skipping a beat, they were come upon by several threats. The group braved through waves and waves of monstrosities and eye-stalks and even several of them being teleported away. But they fought and they fought on through the night. Once the dust had settled and the last of the creatures were banished. The group stood victoriously. KING'S GUARD first mission together was a resounding success. The hordes were fought off and all the beacons remained lit. Mission accomplished. Another win for Snakewater.

MAY 100 BTF: KING'S GUARD received mission orders to procure a sample from one of the Chemist's own monstrosities. Their employer had requested assistance from the Devilhook fleet due to their expertise in monster hunting, Captain Talin would be their point of contact. He would inform them that the target was a Matriarch Owlbear, a mutated one no less. With the gift bestowed to them by their employer, the Devilhook Ace would give them an upper hand in the mission ahead. In search of their target they were ambushed and the battlefield was chaotic. Even ambushed and up against the wall, they rose to action. With guns and blades roaring lightning and biting with fire they fought on valiantly and incapacitated the monstrosity. They had succeeded in capturing the target and it would be sent back to their employer. "Bag 'em and tag 'em." Mission accomplished.

JULY 100 BTF: KING'S GUARD received a mission to assist with hunting another great monster in the area. Captain Talin made landfall to Snakewater and immediately sought out the KING'S GUARD and debriefed them on the mission.

(Captain Talin was also accompanied by a small adorable piglet companion that the mercenary company was enamoured with.)

The mission at hand was to utilize and try out different hunting tactics to help capture or slay the grand beast. The hunting tactics included in using meat as bait, the meat was infused and marinating in tranquilizer solutions. Once the beast was immobilized, Captain Talin would then use [REDACTED] to break through the beast's mighty hide. The beast was put to sleep and the trap was sprung! But the terrifying large beast was awoken from its slumber! The KING'S GUARD and with great aid of the Captain were able to subdue the monster swiftly and after a vicious fight. "Naptime Desserts" went off swimmingly. Mission accomplished.
