=Setting=
 
=Setting=
  
Setting and plot wise, I prefer to run a general sandboxy style, in that I like to know the interests of the players before nailing specifics, which is why I'm running this in Pavis, land of plothooks.

http://home.freeuk.net/wimp/roleplaying/pavis-background.html
+
=Important Non-Player Characters=
  
The default setting is very early Iron Age, with magic slowing technology a little in some areas, advancing it in others. All the RuneMetals, for example, are alloys by alchemy rather than,say, a solid gold breastplate.
+
- '''[[Joh Mith]]'''
  
Pavis will be as in 1618-19, under lunar occupation but with rebellion still a far off gleam...or is it?
+
- '''[[Djimm Mith]]'''
  
You are less than a days caravan travel from New pavis, on the old east road. Most of you will be there because you were making your way to Pavis to flee troubled pasts. Chalkies local was returning home to New Pavis from cult business and fell in with the caravan because he knew the local guide and a couple of the guards.
+
- '''[[Errap Barbacon]]'''
  
Shortly after dusk, the caravan was attacked by trolls, who were driven off at great cost. They were well organised and well armed, not troll bandits.
+
- '''[[Bluebird]]'''
  
If they follow a true troll pattern, they'll strike again before dawn...or so say the majority of the caravan, who have pushed off into the night toward Pavis. However, one group claims they cannot move until the suns first rays, and will make the characters an interesting offer...

* Four pots of bee venom. [Pot 8 blade venom]
 
* Stinger - An oddly constructed crossbow-looking weapon, but made partially of insect parts. The string registers as magic. The forward section of the runnel has holes in it, and a second lever squeezes a chamber below this that oozes blade venom. The whole contraption has a set of small, light quarrels that it fires [1D6+2, 1/MR, 1/SR with magic bee-sting gut string]. [no idea - but you bet someone would want it.]

* Some clan/tribe necklaces and wristbands.
 
  
Notes

- '''[[Follower Provisioning Costs]]'''
All the wheels are from the same place, or at least the same mint. They are relatively unused for second age coins...The horse statue is definitely second age as well.
 
There is a heiroglyph on the troll map that looks like a man on a horse, in a cavern? There is also a light rune on a tunnel to an unexplored area.
