NPCs

Scene 1: The Plot Shall Be Thick!

Location: RiddleForge. A small tavern on the civilized side of a bridge whose other end leads into the scab.

NPCs:

Tiffany - Blonde Halfling woman rogue. Stole money from heroes, attempted to kill Frootloop in tavern brawl. Attempted to run away after fight. Caught, detained by Redforge in RiddleForge tavern.

Unknown Half-Orc woman: Tried to bed Braugh, perhaps assisting Tiffany in stealing money/distraction. Disappeared during tavern brawl.

Unknown Half-Elf young male bard: Was caught by Boomy (James Dietz) as he sang a song to mesmerize half the tavern into brawling. Claims he was paid money to do so and nothing more. The group decided to not take his deal of “Let me go and I’ll spill the beans.” Currently detained by Redforge in RiddleForge tavern.

Captain Roger Redforge - captain of guard patrol that saved the RiddleForge Tavern from being overrun by Orc raiders. He asks party to find his Uncle, Rupert Redforge in RiddlePort and report the findings at the tavern.

Bael Stonesong - Gnomish Bard who was playing cards at table when the man he was across from got killed. Assumed he was wither the target of a botched assassination or attempted framing. Can become a PC at any time (one Gnome allowed).

Guy Baltar - Dwarven soldier under Redforge. Was de-armed in the Orc raid. Asks Tahni (Rob Christie) to find his love,Tina Colverdale, in Riddleport and give her a necklace. He is worried she will not love a crippled dwarf.

Scald - One of the most powerful Old Ones and lives within a large Hot Spring lake full of fountains that goes by the same name. Brutal to the extreme, his territory is growing as more and more of the water features of the area come under his control. He opposes Fhorge as often as he can causing a great tension between fire and water in The Scab.

Nermalkin - A Gnomish Scholar; believes that there is historical precedent that the Gods can and have imposed punishment upon M and E, similar as to how The Old Ones were imprisoned. He believes that these imprisonments led to the ONENESS that has occurred with both Fhorge, M, and E--that in fact the Old Ones as well as others of similar type slowly became like their prisons, and eventually actually became their prison, just as the land around the prisons have become one with the landform. He also argues that all three are clearly lesser beings when compared to the Gods, which raised interesting religious questions since all are now worshiped. He goes on to argue that many of the afflictions of the Southern Continent were supported by M and E raising the question as to why the Gods have not yet punished them in a similar fashion to The Old Ones. He further believes that these powers, which he believes are Elemental instead of Fae were not created by Eberyon, but existed before that time. Both the Elves and the Dwarves, think this is a load of donkey poop.

Jarnor - Master Swordsmith

Loot and Awards: 50 gold for Braugh, Tahni, Frootloop, and Boomy. Braugh keeps a Duergar-crafted Adamantine Handaxe for safekeeping.

Meet Redforge, question prisoners, discovered that Duergar are forging adamantine weapons. rest.

Geography

Here you'll find links to all the locations and maps relevant to this game.

Location: The Scab.

• The Scab is nearby the Culverwood and the Red Hills.
• In the southern foothills of the Scab is a Sanitarium: Up in the mountains, a mental asylum used to exist until recent years. Great evil was done there. Some former patients of this institution live with a druid/ranger nearby in the Valley of Four Peaks, a range visible from near Crescent Valley. He now treats the insane with nature, teaching them to feed and care for each other. The druid's name is Graeff. He comes to Humble's Ford on a regular basis to trade for medicine from an alchemist named Leyman.

History

Here you'll find links to all the events and history relevant to this game.

The Elderly dwarven woman speaks, "Alruc Brighthammer originally united the early colonizing clans of the Scab nearly 200 years ago. Before his efforts, Dwarves simply existed in reclusive family clans, but he called a great meeting of the 9 most powerful clans where an alliance was forged. I can only recall two at the moment: The most savage dwarves of the lands, Clan BloodAxe. And the Stonebeard clan, masons and crafters of the fabled Great Halls."

Then Baenor speaks up as he sheathes his stolen greatsword, "100 years later, greed spread rampant amongst the clans. The outward threats of giants, orcs, duergar, and other monstrous races combined with the Dwarven tendency to hole up in their mountains led to lack of communication. No communication amongst the clans led to mistrust. Mistrust led to war and infighting. Since then, many dwarven clans broke free from under the banner of one of the original 9 clans. They settled in RiddlePort... what was RiddlePort"

It is unknown how many dwarves survive in The Scab to date. The Five Sisters mountain range may just be a large grave for your race.
