Latest News Around Orm- Yellow Fever Update #3

-

 The streets and alleys of Orm have been pretty quiet has Yellow Fever continues spread through the population. That hasn't stopped some gossip to spread about town. Here is some of what the citizens are talking about:

Under the advisement of healers brought in to Orm by messengers paid for by Bors Redbeard, the citizenry of the city-state have mostly locked themselves inside whenever possible. Those that can afford it have temporarily relocated as they wait for the outbreak to pass.

None of this, of course, has not prevented all transmissions of the illness. Several prominent community members including Orm Civil Defense Force Commander Ironside, the Bronze Knight of the Order of the Dragon Dame Galathea, and Lady Celestine Muirk of the Society of Coruscating Seal along with several more members of the 111th Company have all fallen ill. A member of the hireling organization 2 Paks and the adventurer Willow the Wisp have both died from Yellow Fever while Frim Frimerson has fallen into a coma. The news isn't all grim, however, as many are beginning to make a full recovery after grueling weeks including jar magnet Ivouri Vas, adventurer PakPak, and the pair of hirelings of the bard Fancy: Turq and Turwin.

Meanwhile, the Neophyte member of the Transcendental Congress of Aureate Precepts Kiddo is selling doses of insect repellant by the ounce. According to the previously mentioned healers, one ounce of the repellent will protect someone from contracting Yellow Fever for one week if applied daily. The magic-user is offering the doses for 100gp ea. though higher offers will be given grater preference.

 The adventurer Dogmouth has purchased a booth in the market near the Monument of the Old Gods and has set up a new business:

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

  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
