Institutions of Orm- The Container

-


 The Container 


Part group-home, part make-shift library - the Container opens its doors to any Vat Spawn that finds themselves in need of support and any information that interests them. Some (but not all) Vat Spawn choose to offer their unique skills to adventures in the Complex in exchange for information or items relevant to their particular interests. 

Currently the Container is home to:


Hate PIt - (skills include: taking on the properties of any surface temporarily, having hallucinogenic (but +1 WIS modifying) spit. They also have venomous snake fangs.)

No Legs - (Former soldier for Valtropis, no notable skills, can see in the dark, has no legs)

Star Eyes - (Former soldier of Valtropis, thinks Sergio Cankersore is the best)

Glow Pit - (skills include: being very shiny so very good at dance parties, ichor can transmit psychic messages, ichor glows.)

And hosts the following “collections”:


HATE PIT’S TOUCH LIBRARY - a place for adventurers to bring pieces of different surfaces. Vat Spawn who are able to temporarily take on the properties of any surface are able to check out and take different surfaces into the Complex with them, so that they might more effectively use their skill. They are also able to check out the surfaces for personal use. Hate Pit recommends borrowing water. 

GLOW PIT’S GOSSIP CORNER - Tell Glow Pit all the hot goss from the Complex and they will write it down so that other adventurers can learn about it. Sometimes adventurers need a central place to spill the juicy details of certain happenings. If Glow Pit has good stuff, they will offer a Surprise Reward for hot goss shared.  

THE ITEM LIBRARY - A lending library of unusual items. Currently contains an Everburning Candle, a Beaver Fur Tunic enchanted to repel insects, and a Ring of Fire Resistance. Those using the library please record lending history here. If it is not filled out, the item is not checked out (or returned).

Coming Soon to The Container- Glow Pit's Glowing Fabrics and Ropes

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
