Current Retainers and NPCs

  • Damayanti's Retainers
    • Altan is charismatic and has a striking appearance, with red hair and dark eyes. Back in Karak, she often led your family's retainers during ceremonial marches. However, while she is a brave and competent fighter, she is given to bouts of dizziness and ill-health.
    • Dorjpalam is short and reserved. She hails from a backwater mountain province and is capable of laboring longer than many strong men. She is also quite superstitious and searches the stars for portents and omens at night.
  • Zossi of the Krag's Retainers
    • Your first retainer, Bjorn, is remarkable only for his devout worship of Odin and his unstinting zeal when performing difficult manual tasks. He is a Dragonscar Skandik.
    • Your second retainer, Hrolf Fairhair, is a skilled fighter with any weapon to which he sets his hand. He is also handsome and popular with women, although he occasionally falls into dark moods and speculates that he will die an untimely death. He is a Dragonscar Skandik.
    • Your third retainer, Njal the Northerner, is a foreigner who jumped ship and has lived on Dragonscar Isle ever since. He speaks little of his past, but his erudite air indicates that he was educated at one time. His neck also bears the scars of a thrall-ring and he limps when he walks. Oddly, Njal speaks the tongues of ogres and gnolls in addition to Common and Skandik. Njal is a Skandik from the far north.
    • Your fourth retainer, Leif, is a farmer's son. He is relatively untrained in melee, but is a decent shot with a bow or a sling and likes to hunt. Leif has his father's red hair and blue eyes and his Ghinoran mother's dark complexion. People whisper that the gods favor him and that ill fortune cannot touch him. He is a Dragonscar Skandik.

Campaign Journal

Airday, 1st of Thawmist, 4433 BCCC

The party explore deep into the dungeon (accessed via a stone door) and, having gone done a very long, steep staircase, and past strange glyphs and a stone mouth that speaks in a language none of the party understand, finally come to the bottom of the staircase and the beginning of a passageway.

Following the passageway east and then north, where it ends in a set of double doors, but also two sets of doors before it, two to the left and to the right. Having opened these four doors, the party finds in the four rooms a total of 2400 sp and 1900 gp, as well as a transparent container containing four ounces of red fluid.

The party decides to head back to Bondport with much of this treasure (leaving 1200 silver pieces still in the dungeon), pausing on the way so Lysippe can copy the glyphs and the speech of the stone mouth. In the evening, they camp away from the dungeon's entrance.

Waterday, 2nd of Thawmist, 4433 BCCC

The party travels towards Bondport. The journal is much more exhausting than the trip out was, with the party being heavily laden with treasure.

Earthday, 3rd of Thawmist, 4433 BCCC

The party continues their backbreaking journal, relieved that they encounter no hostile creatures.

Fireday, 4th of Thawmist, 4433 BCCC

The party continues on; this day a giant spider approaches the party, but backs away when it sees how badly outnumbered it is. The party, sensibly, leaves it alone.

Spiritday, 5th of Thawmist, 4433 BCCC

As evening approaches on this day, the party finally arrive in Bondport.

They speak to Urbanus, a dwarven money-lender, who exchanges some of their funds for small coins. He advises them to seek out the Temple of Nephtlys (goddess of wealth and merchants) if they wish to keep their funds safe. The only disadvantage is that the letter of credit so gained can only be redeemed at the goddess' temple.

Damayanti goes to the forge of the dwarven weaponsmith, Rusticus where said dwarf shows him his selection of weapons and armour. She buys two sets of armour and two swords.

Dagmaer goes to the market square and equips himself with dungeoneering gear and several weeks worth of food, before buying a mule from the livestock pens. He then decides to find himself an inn.

Lysippe goes to a tavern called the Emur's rest and, striking up a conversation, finds out that land is free but if she wishes to create a temple to Helios in the city she will need to speak to the Town Constable. She later deposits 230 gold pieces (and pays a 10% fee) in the Temple of Nephtlys (and is a little nonplussed by the priest, An's, enthusiasm). She then heads to the Parched Perch where she rents a room for the night and buys a meal and a mug of ale.

Thorvald goes to the general store, where he is well known, and buys various items of equipment. He then heads to the Landsman's Last Hope, a rather battered inn, and hires Gorbo Sandhiller a halfling 'scout'. He then hires Sigurd as a porter.

Vidgís gets directions from the money-lender to an inn called the Parched Perch where the only rowdy element is the owner, the hard-drinking halfling Silvy Buckleburr. After making sure she knows where the inn is, she goes (after Lysippe) to the Temple of Nephtyls where she undergoes the initiation and then deposits 100 gold pieces (including the 1% fee charged to initiates) at the temple. She then returns to the inn, where she gets directions down to the waterfront and goes there in search of retainers, hiring two Paldorians and a Skandik archer named Hrodgar Helmssen.
