The First Fruits of Advancement

Scene
The party emerges from Richten House transformed by its experiences: Carver as an Artillerist accompanied by Chip, Ignatius as a salve-bearing Warrior of Mercy, and Rage as a barbarian whose drums channel his new bardic magic.
Artistic interpretation
This is a symbolic ensemble portrait rather than one literal instant. The visible magical effects represent the characters’ level 3 abilities. Rage’s greataxe is intentionally outside the composition but remains part of his canonical equipment.
