It has become painfully obvious that no one outside of our gaming group can tell
who the hell each character is, or what class they are, given the poor descriptions in the story
and my extensive use of nicknames for these people.  Therefore, I have created the
Cast of Characters, hopefully this will help clear up some of the confusion.
