Adventures of the Drinking Crow Session #13- Dragon Slayers!!!

-
Last time the adventurers from the Drinking Crow entered the Complex, they came back with a literal mound of treasure. This seems to have lead to a bit of decrease in their sense of urgency planning their next delve. As they walked across the harbor, the following party could be heard still discussing plans:
  • Bors Redbeard (Level 2 Dwarf)
  • Fredrick Featherstone (Level 2 Vestigator)
  • Malagath Finbaros (Level 1 Elf)
    • "Aldopho" (aka Many-Faced Gene Level 1 Assassin hireling) 
  • V'Naïss Two-Face (Level 2 Vatspawn)
  • Willow the Wisp (Level 1 Illusionist)
    • Mr. Fantastic (dungeon terrier)
The party returned with a cart piled high with treasure and a one-armed Brothers known as "No. 47" in tow. Bors' armor was scorched and his beard singed.

The following scrap of paper was found on the ground next to the cart after it was emptied:

V’naïss Two-Face’s To-Do List:
1. Pay someone to research Huugal Aereth (the guy whose skull I found).
2. Listen to some red mosquitoes talk about communism.
3. Meet some dwarves.
4. Agree to slay a dragon who’s a real dick all the time (and save the dwarves’ friend).
5. HELP SLAY THE DRAGON WHO’S A REAL DICK ALL THE TIME!!!
6. Get an unbelievable haul of treasure.
7. Get the dragon’s fire glands.
8. Incorporate the dragon’s fire glands into my throat!
9. BE ABLE TO BREATHE FIRE!

After a few days unseen, Many-Faced Gene is spotted in a few backroom games of chance around Orm. He gloats about being a "Rutterkin" now as he tells an outlandish tale involving him disguising himself as a pile of treasure and how a terrier killed a dragon. He also shares that he knows a secret way into Level 3 of "The Complex". Luck seems to favor Gene as he comes out of his tear of carousing and gambling with a deed to a small house in Orm.

Loot

  • 11,000gp
  • 1,000sp
  • 2 carat stone of citrine worth 50gp, 18 carat bloodstone worth 500gp, 2 carat fire opal worth 1,000gp

Experience Points

  • 12,650xp from treasure
  • Young fire dragon defeated 1 x 725xp
  • Dwarves rescued 1 x 100xp

Player Character Cut

  • 1897gp 5sp ea. (minus 1265gp finders fee to Lt. Sam along with a 1/2 share each to Many-Faced Gene and No. 47)
  • 2695xp ea.
Reminder: Characters are only able to advance one level per session. If enough experience is acquired to gain two levels, the character obtains experience equal to just 1xp short of that second level.

Session write-ups, art, or maps are worth 100 x level xp. Let me know what each of you are doing with all that gold (i.e. how are you making it safe/where are you putting it because it is too much to carry) along with any downtime activities down in the comments.

    Bors is going to invest 1500 gold into the Drinking Crow, he was also going to see if Gabby will hire 47 to help around the bar, or help 47 find meaningful work. I'll have to get home to my dice to roll with a+1

Adventuring in the Twilight Age

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

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. we

Downtime in the Twilight Age

-

Outside of sessions at the table, time in the Twilight Age moves at a pace that matches our own. So one week passed in our world = one week passed in the Twilight age. This, combined with the proscription of ending each play session outside of danger, will mean players will find their characters with time to kill back in Orm between adventures at the table. What Is There Even To Do In Orm? Below is a list of downtime activities players can pursue between sessions. Most take one week to perform and those that don't will say in their rules (like magical research). Details for each activity are linked into the action title below. They are: Building an Institution - Form a gang! Build a theater troupe! Invest in a bar! To develop these and other similar enterprises, describe how you are going to develop the institution (often involving the spending of gp) and roll 2d6 for your level of success. Carousing -  See below for rules for partying it up between adventures. Carou
