Dragon Slayers of The Drinking Crow- To The Crystal Pear Tree

-

 The adventurers that gathered at the Drinking Crow were in a somber mood. Amu Iben was dead. His retainer Rex had made off with all of his worldly possessions. Father Bert has off preparing for Amu's final rites and burial. This is the state that a young green cleric of Danu named Armeen found the group. The acolyte was only now arriving in Orm on assign to take of the duties at the shrine founded by the deceased Rustam of the Twin Lakes.


The very average cleric of Danu: Armeen

The party was eager to introduce Armeen to the adventuring life. While they had plans to try to kill the Eye of Terror themself and other plans to poison his forces on Level 1, they were wearing of taking on both tasks without Father Bert. Joining them would be the mutant they saved on their delve, the gray-blue furred Agera who Crambo has taken under his wing as a retainer. The following group forgot a pair of dungoen terriers at the Burning Witch as the left towards the Iron Gate of the Rani discussing designs on exploring more of Level 2:

  • Armeen of the Twin Rivers (Level 1 Cleric of Danu)
    • Chauncy (Level 0 Orphan hireling)
  • Copra Kaan (Level 6 Vay Spawn)
  • Crambo (Level 4 Magic-User)
    • Agera (Level 0 mutant retainer)
  • Petra P. (Level 2 Elf)
    • Sed-Thaan (Level 1 Paladin hireling)
  • Willow The Wisp (Level 3 Illusionist)
The group were seen dragging Sed-Thaan out of the Iron Gate on top of his own tower shield a few hours later. Petra's sequenced coat was a total mess and covered in the elf's blood yet she didn't seem to have a scratch on her. 22gp were paid in taxes to the Rani. Petra paid 100gp wereguild to the 111th Company for the deceased Sed-Thaan.

The follow note was found in the Drinking Crow covered in a strange ichor:


Copra Kään’s To-Do List:

-Meet a new companion. 
-Enter The Complex. 
-See some Brothers hanging out. 
-Kill ten guards (and explode some of their heads). 
-Lose a living wall. 
-Go down the pit. 
-Get some hard fruit. 
-Kill some vampire frogs. 
-Explore some caves. 
-Free some Brothers from gibbets. 
-Pay the stupid tax. 

Inspired by the successes of the very-average Armeen of the Twin Rivers, Chauncy decided to follow the path in the clergy of Danu. The young one then immediately went to celebrate by carousing for with first time on the finest Orm has to offer. As he celebrate, Chauncy teased tale of this exploits with the Dragon Slayers. He told of the poor guard brothers turned into grisly examples by the Eye of Terror. He praised the combat prowess of Armeen and Petra P. whose strikes would make the heads of the monstrous foot soldiers of the Eye of Terror explode upon impact. He marveled at the antaur Copra Kaan's ability to survive being turned into a living pin cushion by enemy spears. He described in sensual detail the dungeon delicacies known to those on the surface as 'crystal pears'. He painted pictures with his words of unexplored dungeon river caves teeming with unknown flora and fauna. But most of all, he shared how inspiring it was to see such an incredibly average person like Armeen excel under the blessings of the mother of the primordial waters Danu.

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

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...
