Underworld Adventurer

The Dragon Slayers of the Drinking Crow had returned to Orm having gotten the revenge on the traitorous Zamir "Big Time" Hashmi. They had resurrected their fallen elfin comrade Petra P. from death. But all of this came at the cost of a broken treaty and a  destructive battle with the Oloth El'gg Ssuson that saw Orm cast ablaze as the the elfin hero Malagath Finbaros went down with the sky ship the Purple Rose. The following surviving members of the Dragon Slayers were joined by a new ally to battle the fires that blazed in the formerly untouch copse of trees in the heart of Orm: Bors Redbeard (Level 4 Dwarf) Lefty Redbeard (Level 2 Dwarf retainer), deceased Ferris (Level 1 Living Harness 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) Percy (Level 2 Acrobat retainer), deceased Crambo's player Rob provided this picture of a dragonfly mount that Crambo acquired form the...

 It has been a minute, hasn't it? How things were last left, the elfin airship the Purple Rose had crashed into Orm as a consequence of a battle between the Dragon Slayers and the monster known as the Oloth El'gg Ssuson. Orm was set ablaze and in the chaos the unliving raiders that call themselves the Worthy Dead set upon the settlement to pick its bones clean. A group of adventurers protected the Athenaeum of the Dying Sun . The Dragon Slayers prevented total destruction the untouched copse of trees connecting Orm to the Twilight Shores (I will post about that as soon as I can dig up my notes). This post concerns itself with a third group of composed of the following adventurers that found themselves outside the Burning Witch: Bludoon (Level 1 Dwarf) Heike (Level 1 Cleric of the Free Prince) PakPak (Level 5 Kobold) Phasmo (Level 4 Magic-User) Lirazil (Level 2 Elf retainer) Wolfgang (Level 3 Duelist) PakPak's player Rob A. provides us a look at an anti-cleric of the Wolf ...

  Orm was ablaze from the wrecking of the airship:  the Purple Rose . A group of adventurers and members of the Athenaeum of the Dying Sun  set out to protect the library from the fires that raged uncontrolled through the ruins of Orm-of-Old. The following group assembled to collect water and create fire breaks: Fancy Jean-Yves Beauvollier (Level 5 Bard) Peaches (Level 4 Thief retainer) Freedom (Sapient Cat) GaWoosh (Level 4 Gnome) Journeyman Crannoc (Level 5 Magic-User) Uscha (fey servitor retainer) Kiddo (Level 3 Magic-User) Here is GaWoosh's take on events provided by the gnome adventurer's player Curtis: The group, joined by the Midnight Marauder Souz'awn and the wardog Brutus, succeeded to preventing the Atheanaeum from burning or being sacked. Still, the field currently tilts away from Orm's favor with several retreats by the party and creature corrupted by remnants of the Oloth El'gg Sssuson left to remain loose.

 On Sunday, I ran the first session centered around the Worthy raiding Orm as the settlement burns (caused by the wreck of the Sunset Elf airship the Purple Rose ). One of the pieces of player feedback was some sort location-specific map (instead of just using my currently incomplete one of Orm) would help with player decision making. I make a rough, text-based point-crawl map based on the even rougher one in my session notes. As I looked at it, though, I thought, "Why don't I just overlay that over my incomplete map?" So, did. I threw the first ever sketch of the Worthy (circa 2017) at the top just for fun. I hope this will be helpful in coming sessions.
