The Goblins: Several goblins have been tracking you since Brinestump Marsh.  Most likely, they are remnants of the Licktoad tribe.  Why they are hunting you is a mystery. They have at least one, most likely two, spell casters shielding them from scrying. They are cunning and devious and have avoided Shelalu and Kyres's best capturing efforts. The elf and the half elf have found plenty of evidence to suggest the goblins have gotten close to the caravan, within ear shot. Suggesting they are spies but not necessarily thieves or murders (any more that goblin kind are).

The Dream Hunter: An enigmatic hunter that sends dream messages which can be read in the stars.  He (she?) has an attachment to the Eye of Destiny and clearly knows (or understands) the Storm. Possibly a shape changer or an invisible, or ethereal traveler, or all. Obviously, a powerful spell caster or some sort and clearly, malevolent. 

Kikonu: The half birdman / half human oni from Brinewall Castle.  The creature with the ability to steal your voice.  A shapeshifter.  You killed it below Brinewall Castle but were unaware of it's regenerative power.  Kikonu recovered and has been hunting you ever since.  You have not seen any evidence of Kikonu hunting you, in fact, you only became aware of it when you were contacted by his wife, Zaiobe.

Zaiobe: A harpy ranger. She is married to Kikonu but hates him for too many "sexless years" too much abuse and far, far too much "art".  She can not kill Kikonu on her own and stuck a deal with you.  She will help you find the "men in dark clothing" who lair in the forest and in return, you will help her kill Kikonu.  She assures you Kikonu is close, shifted into some other form.  Zaiobe broke your pact and swore vengeance against you after you asked her to follow "Thorborg".  Zaiobe followed the women, not knowing Thorborg was actually an oni.  The oni shifted into it's true form and nearly killed Zaiobe, who barely escaped.  Now Zaiobe hates you all as much as she hates Kikonu!  

Thorborg Silverscorr: The human disguise of the Oni, Kimandatsu, the Storm General of the Frozen Shadows.  She ran the Rimerunners Guild and commanded the ninja clan, "The Frozen Shadows".  Her agents reached out all over Kalsgard and the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. Their mission, to find the last survivors of the Amasatsu family and wipe them out. You battled her on the streets of Kalsgard but she escaped.  She served as the Five Storms’ chief hunter, chasing down any enemies that the oni marked as targets. You have no doubt she will hunt you to the end of the world.
