[QUOTE="Daztur, post: 5888265, member: 55680"] In my first post about the Burning Lands I mentioned that a few humans from Shuttered are allowed to live on the north edge of it as long as they pay tribute to the gnolls. I thought that I’d finally flesh them out. [b]Hairy Jack’s Tower[/b] Hex 37.21 Lying on the south coast of the Keening Sea is a small outpost run by a man of Shuttered known as Hairy Jack. His men herd cows and engage in some minor trade with a nearby clan of gnolls, with which Jack enjoys close enough relations with that some have joked that he must be having an affair with one of them. The tower that Jack operates out of is an old ruin that has only been barely renovated and its basements have been solidly boarded up, Jack doesn’t know who built the tower and does not have any interest in finding out. Jack would be more than willing to hire on any capable-looking travelles to help guard his herds as the Burning Lands is a dangerous place and even the gnolls smile and take his tribute, he doesn’t trust them to stay away from his cows. He is right about the gnolls, some of them at least, a band of gnollish youths too young to listen to their elders is planning to steal as much of Jack’s herds as possible and then leave a trail that leads any who pursue into a dead end canyon with a fake gnollish campsite at the end. They hope to be able to trap Jack’s men at the end of the canyon and then stampede any of the cows they are able to capture in after them. Hooks: -Who built Jack’s tower? What’s in the basement? -Where do the nearby gnollish clan live? Will they frown upon the shenanigans of their youth? -Is Jack unnaturally hairy? [/QUOTE]
