Player Write-Ups for Drinking Crow Session #23

-

Here are two player reports from the Dragon Slayers of the Drinking Crow Session #23. First up is another To-Do List from Copra's player Avi:

 Copra Kään’s To-Do List:


-Watch helplessly as a comrade becomes stone-hearted. 

-Defeat a Gorgon and a level-stealing corpse. 

-Shed my skin and get harder. 

-Free some Sphinx riddlers. 

-Set a Water Weird on fire.

Second is the latest entry in the journal of Bors Redbeard:

 

Bors’ Journal

Entry fifteen:

        We’ve (hopefully) temporarily lost Fredrick and Gregor, but we did manage to kill the bull and ghoul that made them into stone.  Lefty mentioned after the fight that he seemed weaker than before. He wasn’t able to pinpoint the feeling, like he wasn’t as experienced of a fighter as he used to be. No muscle weakness or anything like that.  But we were able to make it out with some fine treasure and the stone remains of our friends.  We need to figure out how to turn them back.  Kopra took some of the flesh of the bull beast and grafted it onto his own skin, I’m hoping to commission the rest of it to make as a fine suit of armor for the Great Hero Malagath. A hero such as him deserves a suit of armor benefiting his station.

        We went back in after bringing our friends back out, we brought with us Zamir.  My friends had adventured with him before while I was out sick with Yellow Fever.  I still don’t trust the man, something about him rubs me the wrong way, something shady. Anyway, we found two sphinxes that were being trapped by the Imperial Mother.  They had been stuck in there for millennia! They were completely emaciated, such cruelty shown towards these clever beings.  We freed them and they are currently taking up residency in the Drinking Crow. I fear this is stretching the limits of Gabby and mine’s relationship, but he was willing to put up with it for now. Hopefully we can find a better solution for them. Although I think Byxas and Evamena will be helpful to all in Orm.

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...
