The Leadbuster Lads are a group of four hot–headed dwarven brothers who wreak havoc wherever they go. They perform acts arson and sabotage throughout the Otari region, with the help of various monstrous allies from the area. Hargrit Leadbuster, the oldest brother, is also a follower of Asmodeus with the ability to bring infernal creatures to their aid.

Their latest employer is the Kortos Consortium, a lumber company based in Diobel that seeks to regain its control over the Isle of Kortos lumber industry. Although the company hired the Leadbusters to evaluate and undercut Otari's lumber operations, the brothers took things a step further to advance their employer's goals through kidnapping, sabotage, murder, and planning a raid on the Inkleholtz lumber camp.

Members

Each of the four brothers has their own strengths. Kotgar Leadbuster is a skilled fighter and a smooth liar, accompanied by his pet leopard. Morgrym Leadbuster is a wizard who experiments with alchemy and necromancy. Omblin Leadbuster is the smallest brother, using his size to his advantage as a stealthy rogue. And Hargrit Leadbuster is a fervent cleric of Asmodeus, capable of summoning hell hounds and brimstone rats through diabolic rituals.

Sites

The Leadbuster Lads discovered the long–forgotten Maunder Castle, located roughly six miles (9.7 km) from Otari and two miles (3.2 km) from the Inkleholtz lumber camp. Thick forest shrubbery kept the castle hidden for generations, until the Leadbusters moved in and began using it as their base of operations following its discovery. Its presence remains unknown to others despite its proximity to the lumber road and the frequently used Maunder Bridge, which belongs to the castle's defensive complex.
