Happy Halloween from all of us here at Hellbent & Saving Throw! 

In Hellbent, the undead are just one faction that is ever-present on the frontier. It takes a hardy bunch to combat the forces of evil. Help us outfit this posse (and beyond) by pitching in https://store.savingthrowshow.com.

Shino's a well-known itinerant farmer, though few truly know his whole story. He travels from town to town helping people heal & maintain their land. Guided by the legend of Shennong the Divine Farmer, he secretly turns dying lands into bountiful harvests in an impossibly short time.

To twisted men, he's a gift. To broken hearts, a saint. He scraped by in the underground, purging Corruption from those who suffered its effects. He’s seen the way of magic - how it saunters in, sets up shop, and simply asks you to pay prices you cannot fathom. Their debt is now Zeyvah's burden.

Mei's a demonologist & anthropologist who seeks knowledge above all else. She wears a small vial of blood around her neck & several scars on her body - effects of Corruptive magic. Her journey has come to this - uncovering the truth about the House of Yhargoth and how they’re involved with her past.

Vincent's a preacher's son, but for the last 20 years he's been a hunter. He hunts the worst things the Corruption leaves behind. Lately business has been booming. He's after one monster in particular, forever haunted by the ghosts left in its wake. He won't stop until he sees it put down.
