Session Report #2: SWORDS AGAINST THE SIN TAX!

HUZZAH! Once again, the COMPANY OF HEROES has returned from STONEHELL victorious against FIENDISH FOEMEN!

Firstly, BUENDAR would not allow a challenge to go unheeded, so sought SATISFACTION at the DUELLIST'S DOLMEN.

CLEMENT-1, BUENDAR-0

SADLY, our Fighting-Man soon discovered—much to his chagrin—that CLEMENT THE CALLOUS was no mere pup to be easily bested, but a HARD MAN indeed, leaving our greenhorn reeling and forced to undergo a painful PUBLIC APOLOGY.

SWEET VENGEANCE, it seems, will have to be sought on the JOUSTING FIELD come OCTOBER!

Too dumb to be distressed  

Despite this setback, the Company rallied valiantly, taking on several new recruits: DEGORE THE DISORIENTED, REMI THE ROTUND, the time-lost MILO THE MEASURE, and BLAWYNDIE THE DOG, even as they buried GUILLAUME and TRAYVON outside GREYSTONE CHAPEL. May the FALLEN rest in peace!

Before setting out for STONEHELL, the band joined a BLOOD-PACT with ANGUS THE ANALYTIC to exterminate those CHAOTIC CANNIBALS who slew his sword-brother. In gratitude, the cold-blooded mercenary provided a map to the BANDIT CAVES of the ALMSMEN—his former compatriots—along with a rough description of their numbers and routine.

Ill-fit for a longship

A matter, it turned out, to be of immediate interest when LARRY THE FRIEND spied upon the Almsmen's forward camp in the ILLUSIVE WOOD. Inside, he found nearly a half-dozen ROUGH MEN lying in wait, eager to relieve the party of any TREASURES won from the UNDEREARTH.

Affronted by the LAWLESS TAXATION planned by the BRIGANDS, the Heroes set a snare of their own, drawing the thieves into a WEB OF THEIR OWN DECEIT!

Hie me back to 1974

Soon, planning and coordination would easily win the day for our Heroes, who suffered NARY A SCRATCH for their efforts while the brigands would be forced to lay down their arms after three of their number were quickly dispatched. The pair of survivors were captured, BAPTISED in the RIVER SHRILL and SAVED by the LORD OF LAW, to serve HIM against the CAUSE OF CHAOS!

PRAISE BE!

STONEHELL BROADSHEET #6

 * ALACK! Once again, TORVALD'S TEN has faced STONEHELL and was bested by the DUNGEON ETERNAL.

The FORTRESS OF EXACTITUDE
now seems further away than ever...

* Continuing their exploration of the southern canyon wall, the gallants discovered an entrance into the SHRINE OF OSTROGG previously uncovered by the COMPANY OF HEROES.

* Yet, upon their descent into the WELL OF SACRIFICE they were quickly beset by all manner of INVERTEBRATE HORRORS, and a pair of 3' long BLACK BEETLES attached themselves to AMBROSE THE AGED ACOLYTE and the bounty-killer known as DONAL OF DOUGHKEEP.

AMBROSE THE ACOLYTE
Love's Fool

* Unwilling to let go of their prey no matter the abuses heaped upon them, the so-called DEATH-GRIP BEETLES nearly lived up to their names, leaving Ambrose HOVERING AT DEATH'S DOOR and Donal AWFULLY INJURED before they were forced to quit the field.

* Only by the LIGHT OF LAW was the woodwose-turned-holy man kept from his HEAVENLY FLIGHT--along with the tearful ministrations of CORDELIA THE CHASTE--while the Bowman from Doughkeep had to be carried from the field by GIG THE USELESS and VALAN THE VALIANT.

* AND SO, a dispirited troupe arrived back at OLDE TOWYN, led by a muck-stained and foul-looking TORVALD, the lot looking leaner and poorer yet after a pair of unsuccessful expeditions.

* ALARM! As KNIGHTS of all stripes start slowly filtering into OLDE TOWYN to add their names to the JOUSTING TOURNAMENT LIST, an event set to serve as a capstone to the FALCONI FEAST on the HY HOLIDAY of October, BUENDAR THE GREENHORN has discovered that, alas, not all who call themselves such are, in fact, TRUE KNIGHTS.

CLEMENT THE CALLOUS, false knight

* Whilst CAROUSING HIMSELF COCK-EYED at the TWO-HEADED CALF, Buendar was beset upon by CLEMENT THE CALLOUS, a robber knight reputed to be a HARD MAN. Hailing from ERILLION, 'Sir' Clement came to the MAIN-LAND to stalk the FOREST GORNATE in recent years in an (as-yet) fruitless search for a LORD to which he could swear fealty.

* The half-drunk Clement appeared to have enough WIT about him that he knew much about Buendar after they 'accidentally' collided en route to the OUTHOUSE, insulting in turn our heroic greenhorn's lineage, vintage, and recent acts of derring-do within STONEHELL.

* Unwilling to be reconciled, Sir Clement DEMANDS SATISFACTION and will only be sated with a PROPER JOUST—or, failing that, a SWORD-DUEL until the LESSER MAN YIELDS 'if too beggared to keep a horse'.

DONAL, bounty-killer
with a bone to pick

* DONAL OF DOUGHKEEP, having heard the news from his sickbed, calls Buendar to his suite, warning our hero that Clement is a known ruffian, and this is undoubtedly an attempt to build a name for himself prior to the joust proper. By targeting the weakest fighting man of some local repute and giving him a thorough trouncing, Clement assuredly 'seeks to discourage others from signing up for the List and give himself an unfair advantage.'

* Regrettably, although Donal would be happy to serve in Buendar's stead—"I've long waited for his bounty to be posted by the WARDEN RANGERS,"—his recent injuries prevent him from doing so. "I cannot rightly advise you, for in these matters a MAN must speak to his COURAGE ALONE," Donal insists, "But should you choose to face him in the DUELLIST'S DOLMEN atop MADDOC POINTE, I would act as your second, should need be." 

* MERCIFULLY SIMPLE DUELLING RULES by C. KUTALIK.

* HMM. Midweek, ANGUS THE ANALYTIC approaches his employer, LARRY THE FRIENDLY LURCHER, his voice calmly detached even as his cheek are hotly stained by tears for his BELOVED BROTHER-IN-ARMS. 

*

ANGUS THE ANALYTIC
Never forgives, drinks to forget

"I have determined that our company will require immediate successes to restore morale—a matter of some concern, as I am in need of STOUT MEN to see those unholy degenerates SLAIN TO THE LAST. Guillaume would do no less in my stead. As such, I have determined the best means to ensure our next victory."

* He pauses, face bland but dark eyes burning with a FEVERISH INTENSITY, and he studies Larry's face carefully as he continues:

* "If I had said previously that we know nothing of the ALMSMEN, that would have been a lie. We were fellow men-at-arms at one time, and remained on friendly terms, having parted but recently.  Should your band enter into a BLOOD-PACT to RID THE EARTH of those CHAOS KILLERS who slew my sword-brother, I would be like to recall details of our former comrades hideout in gratitude. Such a fortuitous development would certainly help fund further expeditions and provide you with much-needed experience to face the challenges the await within STONEHELL. What say ye?"

* HUZZAH! OLAGOXIA THE ONE-HANDED, the recently-dismembered witch-aspirant of the COMPANY OF HEROES, is invited by ELVIRA, MISTRESS OF THE DARK to join the SIDEREAL SISTERHOOD in their observation of the PLANETARY PARADE as VENUS, JUPITER, SATURN, MERCURY, URANUS, and NEPTUNE march across the HEAVENS this night.

* The SKYCLAD CELEBRANTS honor the triple-goddess CHTHONIA TRIMORPHIA thusly:

Granny Gorgo

OLAGOXIA (as MAIDEN MORMO): Saturn and Mercury, the FLOWER MOON bids thee fair tidings!

ELVIRA (as the THOUSAND-FACED MOON): Jupiter and Venus, the BLOOD MOON bids thee fair passage! BERNADETH (as GRANNY GORGO): Neptune and Uranus, the WOLF MOON bids thee fare well!

Maiden Mormo

 

MAIDEN MORMO: REASON AND RESPONSIBILITY!

GRANNY GORGO: INNOVATION AND INTUITION!

THOUSAND-FACED MOON: LUCK AND LOVE!

<IN UNISON> GORGO! MORMO! THOUSAND-FACED MOON! HEAR OUR PLEA!

Thousand-Faced Moon

* Et cetera, so forth, and ever-onward until the HATEFUL SUN chased them home.

* Much is discussed among the WITCHES' COVEN under starlight, from the TRUE NATURE OF THE NIGHT to MOONDIALS and FALSE PROPHETS before moving onto more obscure topics, such as the LOST LIBRARY of MOGDA BUNN and even, it is said, rumors of a FORGOTTEN TEMPLE TO CHTHONIA TRIMORPHIA within STONEHELL itself, wherein the last MAIDENS OF MORMO—WHITE WITCHES ALL—were imprisoned decades past.

* Alas, it is not wise to spy overlong on a witch's doings, and as fair-haired Olagoxia has sadly CHOSEN A LIFE MORE MUNDANE after her recent UNHANDING, their business is no longer our own—though many a HAND-CRAFTED HOOK has been left to ROT ON THE LINE by the vagaries of CHANCE! SO MOTE IT BE!

at the TWO-HEADED CALF

COURTEOUS CARLO, recently returned from a failed stint as VALET for PINO BABULO of MUR. Carlo was let go when determined impolitic to retain due to longstanding grudge against CHIRICO CAPULLO, son of that most puissant patriarch BEPPO CAPULLO. A former squire, Carlo was hobbled by Chirico's warhorse, and now is an aging dandy who works as a valet and bodyman. 1 gp/day on adventures, 2 sp/day while in town. Requires 5 gp ransom, 10 gp wergild "for his beloved lapdog, LUSTE".

MILO THE MEASURE, scribe and former apprentice to SHALFEY THE SAGE, Keeper of Wisdom at the TOWER OF THE HEAVENS, who Milo describes as a "real drag" and "harshing his vibe". Offers his services as a MAPPER, volunteering that he "knows this D&D shit" and believes adventure to be his "best chance to get off of this dump". 1 gp/day on adventures, 2 sp/day while in town. Requires 5 gp ransom, 10 gp wergild, stipulating that it should pay for a "radical Viking sendoff".

SAER THE SCAMP, loves sweets, mischief, and merrymaking. Sadly, his father, JOBBA THE LOGGER, disappeared not long after spotting strange FETCH-LIGHTS near the ruins of an OLD TOWER in the FOREST GORNATE. Now must make his own way in the world as a LINKBOY. 1 gp/day on adventures, 2 sp/day while in town. Requires 5 gp ransom, 10 gp wergild "to pay for a proper funeral for me and Papa". 

 

 

 

OSBERT THE BRIGHT, said to be late of CAERMOR, a remote highland village known for its dour and hateful folk whose offish reticence has earned them little favor with the people of Olde Towyn. Unlike the common Caermorian, however, Osbert is quick-witted, loquacious, and adventurous—perhaps too much so, for a mere LINKBOY. 1 gp/day on adventures, 2 sp/day while in town. Requires 5 gp ransom, 10 gp wergild "towards founding a proper LAWFUL CHURCH in me old home". Seeks never to return to "that dreadful place", however.

 

MAUGRE THE MULEMEISTER, innovator of a revolutionary new technique that promises to "free you from the shackles of encumbrance tracking" by introducing trained mules into the dungeon. As yet untested, Maugre is eager to try his theory in the UNDEREARTH. 1 gp/day on adventures, 2 sp/day while in town. Requires 5 gp ransom, 10 gp wergild to publish his unfinished manuscript "De Arte Asinaria: On the Mastery of the Mule".

 

REMI THE ROTUND, a former oarsman and MAN-AT-ARMS from far FLAUGAR, an ill-reputed port in the TWELVE KINGDOMS, who had recently quit his past occupation as he found it "hateful beyond all measure". Now seeks employment inland, and prays "never to look upon those BLACK WATERS again". 1 gp/day on adventures, 2 sp/day while in town. Requires 10 gp ransom, 25 gp wergild towards "the bounty on the head of KING HAGGUK".
 

 

 

DEGORE THE DISORIENTED, a Northman MAN-AT-ARMS who took a wrong turn somewhere in the STONECROWS and has lost his warband. Despite this, the easygoing young swordsman seems largely unperturbed by the development, and is eager still for life's adventure. 1 gp/day on adventures, 1 sp/day while in town. Requires 5 gp ransom, 10 gp wergild for "his SWEET ODELINA".
 

 

 

 

TURSTON OLAFSON, another Northman—though this one here by choice—Turston is tight-lipped about the particulars of his origins but is eager to prove his CHIVALRY in the JOUSTING FIELD during the upcoming holiday. In the interim, this FIGHTING MAN is willing to join expeditions into STONEHELL for 1/2 share of XP and treasure, hoping to earn himself a proper set of armor before parade day. 25 gp ransom, 50 gp wergild to "an undisclosed inheritor".
 

SEEKING ADOPTION at the DOGMAN'S YARDE

 

* BLAWNDYE, a young WAR DOG of the finest alaunt butcher stock, he appears intelligent and eager to please, but possesses a craftiness and nervous energy like to test any master. 25 gp

* MOWNAMY, a seasoned BLOODHOUND once beloved as a fox-hunting dog by RUGGIERO BADARELLI, who has been slowly forced to liquidate many of his assets due to year-after-year losses from the locust-plagued vineyards of his COUNTRY MANOR in the FOREST GORNATE. 25 gp

Session Report #1: THE UNHANDING OF OLAGOXIA

 

AUGUST 11 1425 ANNO DOMINI

 

ALACK! Beat thy breasts and tear thine hair, for the COMPANY OF HEROES has suffered TERRIBLE LOSSES!

Our adventure began well enough, as the former mercenaries GUILLAUME LE GRAND and ANGUS THE ANALYTIC were hired to protect the party's back rank.

Anguish for ANGUS!

Further, the Heroes learned more of the ROUGH MEN who they had previously faced, being the ALMSMEN, a company of VOLAND'S VENATORS who had been separated from the main force during a clash with the HOBGOBLYN FIFTH OCCUPATIONAL ARMY in the STONECROWS and had turned to banditry. Operating along the ELFROAD between OLDE TOWYN and MUR under the command of ZORREL and SONYA GNAST, former pirates said to have escaped the DOOM THAT CAME TO KORALGESH.

Scouting the ILLUSIVE WOOD and determining it to disguise a rude encampment—currently unoccupied—the troupe descended into HELL'S ANTECHAMBER in hopes of exploring further to the southwest.

Unfortunately, the expedition had but barely begun when MAGIC and GARGANTUA were unleashed upon a TRIO OF TERRIBLE TOADS that were passing by—and which quickly fled from the party's superior might!

Alas, in pursuit of said Toads our overeager gallants attracted the attention of a band more terrible still as a quartet of CANNIBAL CHAOS KILLERS emerged from the GATEWAY TO ADVENTURE, flanking the party's irregular rear guard.

And so it was that DOOM came onto our Heroes like a scythe cutting down wheat!

 

DAMN THEE, BLACKHEARTS!

First was faithful TRAYVON, whose many years experience served him little as his head was split as a ripe melon. Soon after was GUILLAUME, plucked still fresh from the vine.

Finally, and perhaps most awfully, OLAGOXIA would be swiftly DISARMED by a well-placed scythe, her right hand severed cleanly off to land bloodily onto the floor of the DEATHTRAP DUNGEON!

The BERSERKERS were fast dispatched thereafter, the rage of Olagoxia's hounds spurring them on to BLOODY VENGEANCE!

But the day had already been lost, and those brave SCIONS OF LAW fled back to OLDE TOWYN, two BRAVE MEN lost and their witch-aspirant facing weeks of bedrest before being able to return to the adventuring life (as OLAGOXIA THE ONE-HANDED). 

                  

         POUR ONE OUT FOR GUILLAUME

REST EASY, OLD HAND

HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS, LORD OF LIGHT, for today Trayvon and Guillaume come home to thee!

NEWS ABOUT OLDE TOWYNE

 

* HUZZAH! VERONA, the young bride of ERROL FALCONI, patriarch of that esteemed clan of MUR, is with child—and BISHOP ALFRIC ORDANE has seen DIVINE PORTENTS that it will be a LAWFUL HEIR!

* In celebration of this joyous event, the Falconis have declared their intent to hold a GRAND FEASTE in OLDE TOWYN on the 6th of OCTOBER to celebrate the HY HARVEST, featuring the famed CHEESES OF RENNETON and the PEERLESS PIES OF DOUGHKEEP, as well as a JOUSTING CONTEST open to all LAWFUL KNIGHTS.

* As Falconi gold pours into Towyn for the upcoming holiday, fears of HOBGOBLYN OUTRIDERS are allayed, so WEAPONS AND ARMOR PRICES ARE BOOK-STANDARD. 

 

  

    ERROL and VERONA FALCONI

 

 * ALACK! Though riding high on their horses just a week ago, TORVALD'S TEN has tested fate and tasted TRAGEDY!

Angels wept

* The expedition began well-augured, as the Ten expanded to TORVALD'S TWELVE with the addition of GIG THE USELESS and VALAN THE VALIANT (formerly of the COMPANY OF HEROES).

* However, a discordant note was sounded when CORDELIA THE CHASTE demanded the rogues return the MAP OF OLAGOXIA—which, it seems, they had absconded with in hopes of negotiating a RICH REWARD.

* After a failed attempt to lay the SMILING SPIRITS of THE GATES OF HELL to rest left an overzealous AMBROSE quivering in mortal terror, the conjoined men-at-arms ROLF AND DOLPH snuck into the CAVES OF COAL, having bribed the corpulent beast with a feast of cheese and sausage. However, they soon discovered that even a friendly bear like COAL has his limits when they found themselves thereafter trapped within, an angry ursine fast on their trail.

ROLF, slain by COAL

* And so Rolf met his untimely end in that black hole, torn in twain by tooth and claw for the temerity to traipse through a bear's lair. 

* Miraculously, however, the pious prayers of CORDELIA THE CHASTE so moved the LORD OF LIGHT that Dolph was spared the same fate, though be he half the man that he was but a day ago.

 * When deep in his cups, Dolph claims that Rolf's ghost cries for vengeance each night and seeks strong TRAPS with which to wreak his revenge on the blackhearted bear that took his twin.

 * Adding insult to injury, the lackadaisical labors of ROLAND OF ERILLION so enraged DONAL OF DOUGHKEEP that he gained a well-deserved CLOUTING after Rolf's body was unceremoniously dropped in the muck-filled main street of OLDE TOWYN.  

* In turn, Donal was thenceforth unmanned when STONE-FACED OLAF rose to answer Roland's mewling cries, and he delivered unto the bounty-killer so sound a clobbering that the grognard was left sprawling dumbly in the street.

Suffers but one fool

* Thusly, Torvald's Ten, while retaining the name ("it's aspirational," Torvald again notes), now consists of five heroes: Torvald the Exacting, Cordelia the Chaste, Ambrose the Aged Acolyte, Donal of Doughkeep, and Himbo Halfdan, and their four retainers Dolph the Cloven Twin, Cinderella the Linklass, Gig the Useless, and Valan the Valiant, being a grand total of nine gallants.

 

* MEH! A crier from MUR announces that the BROTHERHOOD OF PORTERS, LINKBOYS, AND DROVERS has come to terms with the SOCIETY OF SWORDSMEN AND SORCERESSES.

* Retainer fees are no longer required, being on a 'per expedition' basis, with either party able to end the contract upon return to LAWFUL CIVILIZATION, or kept on if all are in agreement.

* However, a GUARANTEE of RANSOM and WERGILD is required, held by a licensed third party (PENNYPINCHER FINANCIAL in Olde Town). Commonly, noncombatants require 5 gp held in ransom and 10 gp paid to their family in wergild, while men-at-arms ask for 10 gp for ransom and 25 gp in wergild, and henchmen will seek 25 gp ransom and 50 gp wergild PER LEVEL. These prices are not guaranteed, but are understood to be the going market rate. 

* The new terms, the product of months of tense negotiations, are considered CRUELLY NEUTRAL by all, given that no parties are fully satisfied with the arrangement (save, perhaps, the PENNYPINCHER CLAN).

 

at the TWO-HEADED CALF

 

BENTLY GALPSI THE SNERG, former thrall of ROTHBARDON BRIMBITE, chief of the BLOODY-HANDED BAND, escaped a life of domestic servitude thanks to his superior foot-tickling technique. 1/2 share of XP and treasure if clan-mates are in the party, otherwise a full share of treasure is required to retain. 25 gp ransom, 50 gp wergild.

 

HUGI THE HUMBLE, knight-errant of superior quality, and his shetland steed LONGSTRIDER. Formerly of the SHROOMSPLITTER clan, Hugi was SAVED by the LIGHT of the LORD and now seeks to be treated "as any LAWFUL KNIGHT'. 1/2 share of XP and treasure, but will only serve a FIGHTING MAN who bests him in a CHIVALROUS JOUST. 25 gp ransom, 50 gp wergild.

GUILLAUME LE GRANDE, late of ERILLION but said to be originally of the TWELVE KINGDOMS, a rough-hewn, trash-talking sellsword known for his great bravery as well as his drunken, foolhardy antics. A MAN-AT-ARMS, Guillaume served alongside . . .

 

 

 

 

ANGUS THE ANALYTIC, a dour and taciturn MAN-AT-ARMS, the Spock to Guillaume's Bones, both he and Guillaume had served under the mustachioed mercenary captain VOLAND THE VILLAIN as part of his VENATORS. That is until being separated from the main force during a skirmish with the FIFTH HOBGOBLYN OCCUPATIONAL ARMY en route to join the ANTIPODAL CRUSADE some six months past. Each requires 1 gp/day during expeditions, 2 sp/day during downtime, 10 gp ransom, 25 gp wergild. 

 

 

 Alongside a few familiar faces:

CYRUS THE CYCLOP, seasoned DROVER capable of handling mules, horses, and wagons. A missing eye was skewered by an errant branch, but now he's "right as rain”. 1 gp/day on adventures, 1 sp/day while in town, 5 gp ransom, 10 gp wergild.

 

 

 

ROLAND OF ERILLION, seventh (or so) bastard of a prominent nobleman, Roland assures you that he is merely a “temporarily embarrassed graf” who works PORTAGE as a means to “stay in touch with the common man”. 1 gp/day on adventures, 1 sp/day while in town. 50 gp ransom, 100 gp wergild ("thought it'll nought keep ye safe, I surely reckon," muses Olaf darkly.)

 

 

 

 

 STONE-FACE OLAF, a dour and thickly-muscled military veteran who has been reduced to serving as a MAN-AT-ARMS due to partial paralysis on his left side from an old war wound. Will only work alongside ROLAND OF ERILLION for 1 gp/day on adventures, 1 sp/day while in town. Requires neither ransom nor wergild ("I'll be damned before those misbegotten brats steal a copper from my corpse"), but assures employers that if young Roland should suffer from a misadventure “there would be holy hell to pay”. Will provide his own equipment.
