The Bad Kids are a group of junior year students from the Aguefort Adventuring Academy who became a de facto adventuring party after they missed the official party-forming window because they were in detention.
Description[]
The Bad Kids are a group of six young adventurers of varying backgrounds, but they all get along very well. Towards the beginning of their career, they were very reckless and generally went into fights with the intention of killing everyone. After a discussion with Bill Seacaster, they began to work more collaboratively as a team "for the gold", or whatever end goal they had in mind. They are extremely trusting and loving towards one another, and see each other as family, partially due to several shared parent/guardian relationships. Overall, they are a kind, generous, and understanding group who believe in doing the right thing, though they often get into trouble and make a mess of things while doing it.
The party does not have a leader, as they agreed that they were all equal and therefore were more of a democracy. They also have a FantasyInstagram account @TheBadKidzz, of which Gilear is listed last in the bio.

Background[]
The group was informally named by Kristen Applebees on the first day of school when she noticed the five other kids talking to Vice Principal Goldenhoard about their detention: Fabian Seacaster and Gorgug Thistlespring received detention for getting into a fight first thing in the morning; Fig Faeth received detention for breaking into the teacher's lounge and attempting to steal a ghost steak; Adaine Abernant received detention for stealing a library book from the restricted section; Riz Gukgak received detention for breaking into Principal Aguefort's office and stealing one of his teabags. Kristen did not "officially" receive detention.
When Coach Daybreak, a fellow member of Kristen's church, approached her to ask what adventuring party she wanted to be in, she pointed to the five and said she wanted to be with "the bad kids". Daybreak suggested she join a group with other like-minded, religious individuals, but Kristen insisted he give her detention too. Coach Daybreak declared that she had 'bore false witness' (a religious offence, not technically a school rule) and gave it to her.
During their detention, they were drawn to the cafeteria by the scream of their lunch lady, Doreen. They arrived to find that she and the enormous corn ooze beside her had been possessed by something evil. They fought together as a team and defeated Doreen and the ooze. At the end of the battle, it became clear to them that something in the school wasn't quite right, and they decided to stick together from then on to get to the bottom of it.
History[]
The Bad Kids spent their freshman year at Aguefort Adventuring Academy working on the case that is later known as "the Kalvaxus Kaper". Kalvaxus, Emperor of the Red Wastes, was scheming to rise back into power by fulfilling a prophecy that had been given hundreds of years ago. Over the course of the year, the Bad Kids worked together to uncover clues and follow leads all over town and slowly discovered the true nature of his plot. On the night of Prom, and with the help of Ragh Barkrock, Jawbone, Sklonda Gukgak, and Gorthalax the Insatiable, they were able to successfully defeat him.
They became a more "official" adventuring party in their sophomore year, when Principal Aguefort assigned them an adventure: to recover the crown of the Nightmare King, which had been stolen from his office. This quest is worth 60% of their final grades, much to their surprise. The party tracks the crown to Adaine Abernant's mother, and they follow her tracks across several different countries and a floating pirate city.
For this adventure, they hired several of their friends and family to accompany them as hirelings. These hirelings include: Ragh Barkrock, Tracker O'Shaughnessey, Cathilda Ceíli, Sandra Lynn Faeth, and Gilear Faeth. Several days into their adventure, Cathilda renounces her position and payment to return home and care for Fabian's mother, Hallariel Seacaster. In light of the recent events and several mistakes that were made, rest of the party members also forfeited their shares/payments, though all continued to travel with them. Later, they meet Ayda Aguefort, who they befriend and she joins the party as well.
Around this time, the group also hires Gilear Faeth as an unpaid intern (later an official assistant) and get him to run many mundane tasks for the group like fetching coffee orders (without pay) as well as run their joint Instagram account @TheBadKidzz, of which Gilear is listed last in the bio.
During the summer following their sophomore year, the Bad Kids successfully seal the Night Yorb, bringing their list of world-saving missions to three. During this adventure, they make several more allies, including Balthazar, Duggan McCann, Ecaf, and Squeem, though none of them stay with the party after the adventure. While the quest ends in the Red Waste, the group alludes to having travelled all over Spyre.
After returning from the Night Yorb quest on the first day of their junior year, the Bad Kids meet a rival adventuring party at Aguefort: the Rat Grinders. Consisting of Kipperlilly Copperkettle, Ruben Hopclap, Mary Ann Skuttle, Buddy Dawn, Oisin Hakinvar, and Ivy Embra, the Rat Grinders seem to have intentionally became a parody of the Bad Kids, with their classes lining up perfectly, and also seem to be trying to get the Bad Kids expelled for currently unknown reasons.
Accomplishments[]
In their career as adventurers, despite not having even left school, the Bad Kids have racked up an incredible collection of world-saving exploits. These exploits include:
- Killing Johnny Spells and his gang, a group of small-time criminals in Solace
- Releasing Gorthalax the Insatiable from the Durinson Mithril Factory
- Killing Coach Daybreak and removing the Harvestmen's influence on Elmville
- Killing Kalvaxus, Emperor of the Red Waste, and preventing him from taking over Solace
- Stopping Occularia, Queen of Sight, from taking over Aguefort Adventuring Academy
- Killing James Whitclaw and saving Leviathan from his attempt at a coup
- Demolishing Calethriel Tower in Fallinel
- Discovering that Kalina is actually a plague
- Preventing Arianwen Abernant from reviving the Nightmare King; destroying Kalina; bringing back the Unnamed Goddess as Cassandra; returning Sylvaire to the people of Arborly
- Sealing the Night Yorb in an arcane sigil
- Killing Interim Emergency Backup Principal Arcturus Grix when he went berserk at a music festival
- Discovering the bodies of Yolanda Badgood and Lucy Frostblade, both having been ritual killed by the Rat Grinders
- Rediscovering the name of the god Ankarna and speaking it aloud (the consequences of this are currently unknown)
- Breaking a centuries-old curse on the Armor of Pride
- Properly sealing Bakur's soul gem with the raw arcana of said curse
- Creating a song so hardcore that it claimed dominion over Ankarna's entire infernal domain
- Being the first adventuring party to actually pass the Last Standard Examination
Additionally, the party's individual members boast some very incredible accomplishments. Kristen Applebees created a new god, revived another god, and is possibly the only cleric to have revived herself. Fig Faeth is the Archdevil of Rebellion, mistress of the Bottomless Pit, and a famous rock star. Adaine Abernant is the Elven Oracle, and as such, is the first person to successfully scry on Kalina. Speaking of which, Gorgug Thistlespring made the discovery that Kalina is a plague, as well as building the solar lasso used to restrain the Night Yorb. Riz Gukgak is a consultant for the Lower Planar Reconnaissance Task Force and a highly effective private eye. Finally, Fabian Seacaster is an incredible battle dancer, the oracle of dance and holds the honor of having killed Johnny Spells, Coach Daybreak, Dayne Blayde, and his own father.
Trivia[]
- If all of the Bad Kids' parents got married in their current relationships (Sklonda and Gorthalax, Sandra Lynn and Jawbone, Gilear and Hallariel), then Fig, Fabian, Riz, and Adaine would all be related to each other.
- This has already begun to happen, with Gilear and Hallariel's upcoming marriage making Fig and Fabian adoptive step-siblings.
