Screech Sagg

Identity

• Name: Screech Sagg
• Gender: Male
• Class: Bard
• Tribe origin: Unknown — not recorded in available sources
• Player: Thomas

Roster Note

Screech Sagg was not present from session 1. He is not a Licktoad — his tribal origin is unrecorded. He was found cocooned in a spider cave during the 30.11.2024 Sandhausen session and joined the party there. His boots had been stolen by spiders before the party freed him. He is first confirmed in FoundryVTT on 1/18/2025.

The campaign account (our-campaign-story.md) is a narrative retelling that puts all eight together from the start; this is literary license. Source-hierarchy.md takes precedence: Screech joined in late 2024, not at the beginning.

Physical & Personality

His early signature is humming something that was almost music — a bard whose craft is present but unpolished at the start. His performance at the Birdcruncher celebration was received better than it deserved. His songs improved under fire — a canonical character-growth beat across the campaign.

Screech Sagg, cocooned in the spider cave corridor — found by the party on 30.11.2024

Notes

• His tribal origin is not recorded. He was found in isolation, cocooned — no tribal context given in T1–T3.
• "Songs improved under fire" is a canonical character arc from the primary source (T4). Preserve in narrative use.
