Burning Witch Adventurers Session #12

-
Two new adventurers joined the table of some proven explorers of seaside dungeon often referred to as "The Complex". The quickly came to a consensus that after a quick detour to the market of the Brothers, they would plunge on into the depths of underground structure in seeking of treasure. The party consisted of:
  • Avreml Oofnik (Level 1 Thief)
  • Castora (Level 1 Knight of the Order of the Dragon)
  • Dingy (Level 1 Dwarf)
  •  Feeble Finn (Level 1 Dwarf)
  • Thea Noir (Level 1 Thief)
Castora, an armiger and member of the Order of the Dragon

A third dwarven adventure that has arrived in Orm.

Castora lost an eye and Dingy survived an explosion.

Loot

  • Four iron trunks containing: 3000 gp, 3000 ep, 5000 sp, 40 strange metal chips (10 gp ea.)

Experience Points

  • 5400xp from treasure
  • Members of the Order of Illuminated Eye 7 x 13xp
  • En'Wni, the Prophet of the Illuminated Eye x 75xp

Player Character Cut

  • 600 gp, 600 ep, 1000 sp, 9 strange metal chips (worth 1080 gp in value, counts as 11 item slots towards encumbrance if not banked, hidden, or hoarded away somewhere).
  • 1113xp ea.

The Elfin Prisoner Known as the "Nighthawk"

From the chambers of the Prophet of the Illuminated Eye (also called En'Wni), the party saved an elfin lady. She bored signs of torture under the hands of members of the Order of the Illuminated Eye. She introduces herself as the thief known as "The Nighthawk". The party does not inquire as to why she is currently being tortured by the Order and she offers no answers. While she is grateful for their aid, she is eager to return to her fellow members of the Crooked Hand on Level 3 of Zeress tel Mor (what she uses to refer to what is commonly referred to by adventurers as "The Complex").

The party was eager to follow "The Nighthawk" to Level Three-- the deepest any adventurer would have delved yet--but heavily injured laden with four heavy iron trunks filled with coins, they instead asked how could they visit "Nighthawk" and her band of thieves in the future. The thief quickly drew a rough map guiding them to the foyer of the 3rd Level and instructions on how to called forth the Crooked Hand on that level. Before handing the map over, "The Nighthawk" says, "Don't trust the thieves in Orm that say they are the Crooked Hand. Their tongues wage backwards. These instructions can never fall into their hands."

With that, "The Nighthawk" silently slipped into the darkness of the hall of the dungeon complex.

Downtime

Let me know in the comments below if you have any downtimes you would like to pursue. I know that Feeble Finn has paid the loan bank 1000gp to pay off his new prosthetic leg (Rob--he still can take a downtime in addition to this)

Jesse: do you still want to have Avreml steal the beets? If you want to develop a beet farm, this is the way you'll do it. Hiring two porters (Broham and Ballum Lugh) and two mercenary guards (Ervis and Shira) is 6gp per month.

Downtime Activity- Find the Right Buyer

-
Image
  Dungeons are packed with treasure. After all, isn't that why adventurers decide to plumb their depths? While treasure finds of items that spend easily like coins of precious metals, gems, and jewelry often make up the winnings of successful adventuring expeditions; they are not the only items of value a party will haul back to the surface world.  Eager to make the most out of a group's expeditions, they often grab anything that looks like one could turn over for a quick coin or two. To turn such items into gold, though, adventurers have to locate an interested party to sell these art objects, non-magical tomes, trade goods, and other valuable dungeon oddities. Below is a new downtime system for locating buyers for dungeon treasures not inherently valuable like coins or gems or easily pawned off due to being made of inherently high-value items (like jewelry, items made of precious metals, etc.). The activity is based on some of the other downtime systems designed by Ben L. w...

Adventuring in the Twilight Age

-
Image
Welcome to the Twilight Age Ever since the Empire-That-Was receded, no human endeavor under the fading red sun has reached its heights. Some say humankind no longer possesses the know-how to reach such grandeur. Others claim that confronting daily a sun that could fail them at any moment has filled folks with a spirit of defeat. Regardless of the reasons, it is in the face of such apocalyptic ennui that we find the peoples of Ur-Dun. Just south of the fallen Imperial capital city, this series of towns have become petty city-states just as embroiled in squabbles as they are in desperate dependencies fundamental to their survival. These human-led settlements are not the only civilized peoples in Ur-Dun. The mortal regents possess delicate treaties with distant Elfin Courts. The Gloaming Hills below the Slumbering Mountains are populate with small pastoral settlements of the hill dwarf (re: gnome) descendants of the folk that built the Imperial-era structures that litter the r...

Red Riders of the Drinking Crow Sessions #81-85, 87-89, and 93- The Black Pyramid

 Back at the dawning days of autumn, a group of the Red Riders left from the Drinking Crow to journey into the Complex. They aimed to join a pair of lunar elves, Aureal and Ruitat, on their spiritual quest give to them by their Dreaming Tree: journey into the plane-hopping dungeon called the Black Pyramid. Visions of this foreboding structure had plagued the citizens of Orm for over a year. They grew more ominous and vivid with each passing day until it had materialized within the Great Cavern. What would they find within the pyramid? The Red Riders that had lived among lunar elves had been told it contained wealth beyond their wildest dreams. More importantly, the structure was a spiritual trial that could result in profound understandings. This view was not shared by others. The Phantomorians who had been staying at the Lazy River warned of the existential threat posed by the Black Pyramid. They preach that it is the embodiment of the left hand path that stands in opposition of t...
