'''Background:''' Moyuk wasn’t cut out to be a marauding slaver, like most Tuskers. He was undisciplined, he liked playing with bugs, and then there was the stench. Oh my gods, the stench! Even among other unwashed brutes, he was a pariah. Eventually he was kicked out of the tribe, which suited him just fine.He fell into dungeon roving, working alone to find lost valuables. When the other PC’s came across him, it took some effort to convince them that he wasn’t just a wandering monster. His brute strength, and his experience with traps, made him an invaluable addition to the party. One of them called him “Yuck” for short, and the name stuck like yesterday’s breakfast.

In and strapped onto his masterwork backpack are 40 more arrows, a common lamp, a flask of lamp oil, a bedroll, a blanket, 50ft of silk rope, 50ft of string, a grappling arrow, a hammer, five pitons, a waterproof bag, a sack, four flasks, seven days of trail rations, a messkit, a bar of soap, a bar of rubbing charcoal, five sheets of parchment, a deck of cards, and his masterwork thieves' tools. He wears a pickpocket's outfit, seemingly normal clothing with several pockets sewn inside, and warm winter gloves. With the backpack, he carries a medium load. He has 1 brightsilver penny. <br/>

'''Backstory:''' Up to now, Dasten has only ever known the Slayer Guild and the guild adventurer life. His folks brought him into the guild the minute he was born, they died working for the guild (eaten by the undead), and the guild took on the responsibility of raising the poor lad up. After all, he wasn't going anywhere at his tender young age, so it was a safe investment in training. That said, though he unsurprisingly has deep ties in the Slayer Guild, "loyalty" is not quite the right way to put the relationship between him and the guild. Rather, he's never even considered that there might be more to life than completing jobs for the family, so to speak, and "appropriating" certain items for compensation along the way whenever a client came up short on the payment. Dasten had only been given the small potatoes so far, but the brass thought it was time for him to start on the real contracts. But the band they put him in, the Last Men Standing, was led by one of the Slayer's worst sorts, the kind who didn't give a fig for the risks. After the deadman boss took on yet another contract that seemed too suicidal and he and Dasten got into an argument, that was as far as that relationship went. The boss dined with the brass and soon after the guild kicked Dasten out of the Slayers altogether for insubordination, years of work for them notwithstanding. That was a few months ago. Now, though, he hasn't heard from them at all--and, damn, he liked some of the people in that Last Men, even if the boss was an ass. And more than that, he's down to his last coin since he's been out of work since. Now Dasten sets off to find them, or their bodies, and the silver they had hauled with them.

He has since joined up with the Ghostkillers Guild after their run-in with the necromancer priest Voyce.

A local girl whose father secretly dabbled in demon worship, even branding his newborn daughter in hopes of some infernal favor. This ill-advised pursuit may have had something to do with the whole family save infant Alita dying in a roaring fire one night. She was adopted by the church and raised first as a lay sister and then, after a lot of metaphorical and some literal butting of heads, as a holy warrior, all the more driven because of the unasked for stain on her soul. Alita's mother was sir Numinos's sister, so when she heard a guild band was going to take back her uncle's old keep she couldn't very well ''not'' get involved...

Chaotic Good

Female Elf

Wizard 3

An elf with a magical talent shouldn't be found in the middle of nowhere doing dirty - even if necessary - work of the Guilders. She should dwell in the ivory towers, mingling with politics.
But Leanna never cared about politics, or fame, or family reputation... to much dismay of her family. So, when they finally realised she'll never make a good heir, her parents pretty much disowned her... oh, not officially, of course, that would be a scandal; officially, she had retired to one of the family's estates to pursuit scholarly abd artistic aspirations. In reality, however, she was gifted that estate under the condition that she'll never return to the capitol, and her family name will never be heard again in connection with her escapades.

== Story So Far ==

The party traveled to Deepwood town, there commissioned to go to the village of Threeangels where two previous parties had gone missing. The party realize that the local priest, a converted necromancer, has returned to his old ways and has been requesting Guild parties so as to murder them and build superior undead.

The present party cleared a local graveyard of undead, then made a terrible failed raid on the castle where the priest-necromancer is ensconced. The necromancer counter-attacked, sending his undead minions and tusks (hobgoblin-like humanoids... what is it with me and the repurposed humanoids?) against the well-defended village. This time it was the necromancer who's screwed up, as he's lost about 70 minions and is in flight, pursued by Yuck (tusk Scout) and Dasten (Opener).

The party attacked the necromancer's castle again, this time with far more success. They manage to trick most of his tusk allies into abandoning him, and assault his throne room in a quick rush, smashing the necromancer and his remaining forces. The rest of the castle was quickly cleared and looted, after which they returned to Threeangels for celebrations.

== Lore ==

=== The Realm ===

[[File:WizardsRealm.png|right]]

A temperate country bounded by mountains and forests, ruled from central Palace City by benevolent-ish but stuffy elf and half-elf Wizards and their knightly Champions. Human and halfling mayors exercise power locally. The Realm recovered  independence after a period of take-over by an alliance of Pirates, necromancers and Tusk warbands (the Pirate Conquest). The Champions can land a powerful band of knights (Champions) and Wizards by airboat at short notice, but they requite local militia and wandering bands of Guild mercenaries to deal with lower level threats.

Dwarves work brightsilver mines, the precious commodity on which its economy depends. Brightsilver pennies are the local currency. The Yeoman caste of humans and halflings are encouraged to worship at the Temple of Seven Angels, a LG local religion with humbly attired priests.

The adventure started place at an isolated village in the Deepwood province. Skyboats seldom land here and the land still suffers with threats left over from the Pirate Conquest: undead, Tusks and monsters common to the world's wilds.

=== Guilds ===

We only have two known Guilds at present - the generalist Slayers and the specialist Ghostkillers. If Yona is a member of the Last Men Standing, she is a Slayer guild member, with the role of Trickster.  The role names appear to be the same across bands. The present party are Ghostkillers, but have already been joined by another member of the Last Men Standing, Dasten the Opener.

=== The Colour Bands ===

The oldest, usually high-level (5-6 in this setting) Guild bands have long histories that stretch back to beginning of Guild history. Many are named simply after colours; Red, Blue, etc. 

=== Religions of the Conquest ===

During the Pirate Conquest, the pirates’ necromancer allies set up variations of their religion (the safer seeming Skull of Morbius and a scary cult, Ecstasy of Horror, closer to their real proclivities). The cults clearly still have adherents, like the false priest, long after the Pirates have been vanquished back to their city.

=== The Magnificent Library ===

The Magnificent Library stands in the City of Pirates. The Diamond Repository is a restricted chamber that only high-levels Necromancers can enter to consult their most treasured and mighty grimoires.

=== Guild Axe ===

An Exotic Weapon frequently wielded by Guild Metals. It has two heads and a spike; a Guild fighter can spin or turn the thing so as to be expertly able to deliver either Bludgeon (damage d6), Slash (damage d8) or Puncture (damage d6) as needed. The Gravediggers' Metal, Frost, has expertise in such a weapon.

== Guild Party Roles ==

=== Typical Roles ===

'Metal', a fighter armed with a free +1 weapon (your choice) and also free Weapon Specialisation Feat.

'Opener', a rogue with the usual abilities.

'Deadman', an undead /healing specialist who uses the knowledge and paraphernalia of a real cleric but (often) without actual devotion. They lose medium armour prof but are gifted a ‘habit of protection’ , a rough sackcloth robe that provides Wis bonus with light armour.

'Sparky', a hedge wizard (non-upper caste) or sorcerer.

'Scout', a ranger.

'Berserk', a Tusk barbarian.

'Trickster', a bard (disapproved of by authorities due to their chaotic nature but tolerated in Guild bands). Make money on the side through performance.

=== Wizard/Champion Roles ===

These ruling class elves/half-elves might be attached to a Guild band as penance, to gain experience or to learn about their Realm from the bottom up.

'Prentice', a ruling-caste Wizard doing journeyman service. Gets a min of 12 in all characteristics to bolster rolls.

'Squire', a ruling-caste Champion (LN or LG paladin-type) doing penance or a page/squire who seeks the right to do Vigil.

=== Seven Angels Roles ===

'Chaplain', an actual priest of the local Seven Angels (LG) religion, wearing a humble wooden shield, habit of protection (as 'deadman' above) and +1 holy spear, hammer or such-like. can only have humble gear and give money to local temples/poor. Gain a +1 mace, spear or axe of minor undead disruption (+1d6 versus undead)

=== Races ===

Standard Adventurer races are human, halfling, dwarf or 'Tusk' (tusked orc-like brutes; only tolerated in Guild bands). Local dwarves mine Brightsilver, a valuable resource. Ruling-class types (Wizards and Champions) are elven or half-elven or (increasingly less frequently) human.

More exotic races no doubt exist and those (suspicious) hailing from the City of Pirates might be a Tiefling or similar exotic being.

== Levels ==

As in older versions of D&D each of the six character levels has a name, depending on profession. In-world these labels are wielded as guesstimates of a Guilder’s experience and power.

== Estate Management ==

Income from the estate depends on the level of management/investment:
* Village government: 3d6*100 bs/year; gifts from peasants who are otherwise left on their own, Ben Shapiro style.
* Absentee landlord: (2d6-7)*1,000 bs/year; peasants are placed under their old obligations, no real services provided; land must be made mostly safe.
* Stewardship: (4d6-7)*1,000 bs/year; old obligations, capable steward in place, 1,000/yr spent on services, land completely safe.
* Benevolent governance: (5d6-7)*1,000 bs/year; lighter than old obligations, very capable lord or steward in place, 7,000/yr spent on service. Note that returns are diminishing.

GM'll allow a re-roll each year if there is a halfling steward in place with a twee name.

'''[https://mikeschley.com/isometric-cutaway-maps A cutaway map of the Keep]'''

"We are anxious to have an incumbent installed. The village of Crossriver is attached, halflings and humans, unusually. It's here, at number #4 in the SW of the estate. And a smaller halfling hamlet at #2, here, by the pond there. As much as they may have enjoyed not doing Manor Service - 60 days' work a year was the old tax- they will be finding it hard without protection in these wild times."

"Not sure what the other numbers refer to...in fact there are quite a lot of notes missing...very odd."

"This map shows the keep. A fine Great Hall, I think you'll agree. And very safe on that little island. Now I understand that 15 thousand brightsilvers is a lot of coin for a young group of Guilders such as yourself. So we won't ask for the money now. Take a month or so to look around. Any loot or treasure recovered has a 20% Wizards tax on it, since you will not be under Guild licence. Please remember that the Wizards do like to scry concerning matters of silver."

"If you do take it, I would reinstate the old labour tax, or money in lieu, so that the estate is self-sustaining, maybe even profitable. But show some good of your presence as soon as you can. Kill the odd ogre-helps to keep folks happy. And we halflings do like a nice festival, just a tip."
