Dragon Slayers of the Drinking Crow Session #39- Back At It Again

-

 It had been a long time since any of the Dragon Slayers had stepped foot in the Complex or went off on a proper adventure. The magic-user turned goblin Crambo has been seen around Orm aiding the efforts to rebuild. The elfin Petra P. lightened people's hearts with street performances of daring feats performed along side her magical elephant Eloise. Willow the Wisp, on the other hand, used her illusionary magic to entertain Orm's upper crust. Copra Kaan had mostly been abscent. The vat-spawn antuar had spend most of his days protecting ships out on the Cerulean sea as he tried to discover more about an island filled with harpies. From time to time, they would all meet up at the Drinking Crow. Often with the retired Bors or Father Bert, the errant friar who helped them defend Orm during Worthy Dead's sacking of the city. Over their drink and tall tales, the part-elfin thief taker Amu Iben became a part of their circle. 

When the Rani allowed the 111th Company to open the iron gate to the Complex, the Illustrious Company of Khourau were granted first crack at a delve into the Complex (rumored to have been auctioned off at an invite only event at the Impossible Fortress). That soon followed by a hunt or two in the name of the Bronze Dragon of the Order of the Dragon. All of this talk of adventure stirred something in the Dragon Slayers and their new friends. The following party decided it was time to delve once more into that darkness deep:

  • Amu Iben (Level 1 Half-Elf)
    • Rex (Level 0 retainer)
  • Copra Kaan (Level 5 Vat Spawn)
  • Crambo (Level 3 Magic-User)
  • Father Bert (Level 1 Errant Friar of Arisham the Judge)
  • Petra P. (Level 2 Elf)
  • Willow the Wisp (Level 3 Illusionist)
The whole party returned an hour and a half later, only a few of them battered and bruised, from behind the iron door at the cliff side entrance. They were see paying the 111th Company their 10% to the Rani (3 silver pieces) before heading back to the Drinking Crow. A ragged gnome, giving the name Buddy B. Barksdale to any that would ask, was in tow.

Later, the following piece of paper was found at the party's table at the Drinking Crow:

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
