Dragon Slayers of the Drinking Crow Session #25- Revenge

-


The magic-user Crambo, usually an adventurer based out of the Burning Witch , had wandered over the Drinking Crow to see what the adventurers known as the Dragon Slayers were plotting. Around the common table of the Crow, the gathered adventurers could be overheard talking about needing a decent treasure haul but this was always a topic of conversation. The discussion when it turned towards revenge on the gargoyles guarding the elevator on Level 3, the group grew more lively. Somewhere, someone mentioned the idea that maybe they could capture one to work towards there "debt". This seem to be of some appeal to the mysterious being in white robes who had recently become a hanger-on of the Dragon Slayer's retinue-- Dwerleiro. The group discussed hiring on the vat spawn Ur-Kel to add addition magical arms to their impending conflict with the gargoyles. As the following party left towards the beach, it was noted by Drinking Crow regulars that Crambo seemed to possess a familiarity with the previous mentioned Dwerleiro:


  • Copra Kaan (Level 5 Vat Spawn)
  • Crambo (Level 1 Magic-User)
    • The Sargent (Level 0 Woman-at-Arms)
  • Malagath Finbaros (Level 3 Elf)
    • Ur-lek (Level 2 Vat Spawn Knight)
  • Petra P. (Level 1 Elf)
  • Willow the Wisp (Level 3 Illusionist)
The party returned dragging a bound creature with stone-like skin and wings. They sold the creature to the Dame Galatea of the Order of the Dragon. They also carried with them the body of a strange half-monkey and half-metal creature they hoped to sell to party interested in its study. It seemed to be the result of some alchemical process.

The following slip of paper was found in the stables near where the Dragon Slayers sold their hostage monster to the Dame Galatea:

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
