Demon Slayers of the Drinking Crow Session #60- The Capture of Fr. Bert

 The following adventurers were seen exiting the Iron Door of the Rani after having not being seen in Orm since before the new year: Armeen of the Two Rivers (Level 4 Cleric of Danu) Jubal (Level 2 Beast Master retainer) Minotaur (hunting dog companion) Copra Kaan (Level 6 Vat Spawn Antaur) Crambo (Level 4 Magic-User) Agera (Level Fighting Mutant retainer) The group had no treasure to pay a Iron Gate tax on. They immediately made their way to the Loan Bank right off the square of the Monument of the Old Gods. They were later seen talking to the recently fired bank guard Grom. Later still, they were seen heading over to the Athenaeum of the Dying Sun. Word around the Drinking Crow is that Fr. Bert is a prisoner in the World of Reflection. The Demon Slayers returned from spending time with the Lunar Elves via a portal on Level 3 of the Complex only to find the portal room infested with dark reflections of the elves Aerual and Ruaiat and a trio of otherworldly grotesqueries. The do...

Among the Lunar Elves Pt. 2

Image
  The Demon Slayers of the Drinking Crow drank a potion of made from the seed of the Dreaming Tree. It created something not unlike a priaduct found in Ben L.'s Dreamlands campaign . This priaduct was to take them to a place where they were to face a spiritual trial. They faced some of their fears and sorrowful past come alive. The adventurers negotiated the arrival of the sailors of the realms of dream, a crew of Phantamorians (also form Ben's Dreamlands game), to Orm rather than driving them away from their found home through violence. The party won the chance to forget a heavy memory or drink the distilled regrets of others for insights. All of this won them entry to the home of the Lunar Elves at the foot of their Dreaming Tree. The following months they spend living among this unusual elfin people, each of the Demon Slayer's player characters can choose to partake in one of the following extended downtime activities: Communing with the Dreaming Tree Foraging in the Lun...

The Resplendent Fête, the Procession of the Old Gods, and More News Around Orm

Image
Following the Coronation of the Eventide Queen , the holiday season of the Resplendent Fête and the Procession of the Old Gods has come to Orm. You can find out about that along with otherworldly new residents, new stock at the ShopShop, and more in the latest news around Orm: Those looking for timber and skilled carpenters and wood workers for construction projects struggle to find crews. The former Complex denizen called One-Arm claims his shop is paying triple the cost for lumber from a year ago as the Rani corner the market. This supports claims coming out of unnamed sources in 111th Company that the tax they collect at the Iron Gate is funding the construction of a new fleet for the Impossible Fortress. The Phantamorian leader Zaxxon, Knight of the Ivory Gleam, (center) flanked by their squire Kalamoro (left) and one of their wastrel followers (right) Among those hit by these construction woes is a group of otherworldly beings known as "Phantamorians" the Demon Slayers o...

The Coronation of the Queen of the Eventide

Image
 The final delve into the Complex for last year saw a party of adventurers free the imprisoned rightful ruler of the Twilight Shores from the dungeons of the Imperial Mother. Known as the Princess of the Eventide, this being seemed to be a mirror of the Imperial Mother's literally half human crone/half elfin maiden body. After convalescing in attempted secret at the Athenaeum of the Dying Sun , the heir apparent journeyed forth to the Burnt Copse with Lirazil (the Magician Phasmo's retainer) to claim her seat of power in the Twilight Shores. Lady Blackmarsh has ended her custodial rule over the Twilight Shores and the reign of the Queen of the Eventide is to begin. The adventurers of Orm have been invited to the elfin realm for the coronation not only due to some of their number being responsible for the Queen's freedom but for their long standing support of the elfin realm. If the adventurers can pool together 1000gp to contribute food, decorations, and entertainment fo...
