Sukri approaches with a neutral smile that he hopes will put the man somewhat at ease. "I am sorry to tell you," he says, "but if you are Henri, there are gnolls seeking you." He tries to judge the man's reaction. Sense motive roll +5 4+5 = 9 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3969365/

Ivy's arrow slams into the lobster's thorax with a crunch. It slumps to the floor, twitching and oozing. The four lobsters damaged most by the grenade fruit scramble away into the darkness. The remaining three advance on Ivy and Yella with snapping claws and jaws. As Ivy fends one off with her...

I just looked through the appendix and realized there's no werewolves in the Shrouded Lands! How did that happen? Traxa Wood (36.11) Connected to Hexes 29.14 and 34.10 The large Traxa family, once prominent nobles of Shuttered, eke out rustic lives in this forest. Some time ago, a Traxa became...

Lochgate Lodge (13.10) Connected to Hexes 16.16, 23.11 and 22.11 The Lochgates, a werebear clan, dwell in this sprawling hunting lodge when not roaming the forest as great bears. The lodge has been built, destroyed and rebuilt countless times through the centuries. Some wings of the house have...

"Demons?" Wing says with a chuckle. "No, little one. I may be hard on the eyes, but I am no demon, and neither is anyone else among us. We are simply weary travelers seeking rest and food." He would have to ask more about the demons later. He did not wish to frighten the little creature further.

Since I don't really have a ranged weapon, I'd like to grab a composite short bow. And I guess a cure light wounds potion.

Sukri picks up one of the gnoll's short bows and fires an arrow into a tree. He had not handled one since his thieves' guild days. He had always preferred daggers. Not even the most piggish watchman would strip a fellow of his dagger, and there were certain ways to twist the blade that never...

The blast engulfs the swarm. The lobstrosities shriek and become unglued. Their shrill, inane piping fills the ruin. None have died, but some have melted carapaces and sizzling appendages. The ones who avoided the worst of the blast scuttle towards Ivy, Yella and the trapped creature.

The Fishing Ogre (35.13) Connected to Hex 39.14 An ogre named Rogdag dwells in the ruin of a lighthouse. He is unusually docile, almost to the point of timidity, and has never raided the nearby villages. He survives off of the eels and lungfish that lurk in the Keening Sea's shallows, but he...

Wing sets his crossbow on the floor, trusting that his back-up will be more than enough if the situation explodes. He approaches the frightened creatures and feels a strange, warm emotion he cannot name. He smiles. "Hello," he says. "My name is Wing, and they are all my friends. We don't want...

"I am healed already," Sukri says to Jan. "Eban and Bayar may want help." He flicks the blood from his rapier and sheathes it. Even in the darkness, he notices Bayar flinch as he stretches his limbs. He rolls his wrists and shoulders and decides that he is still limber enough for whatever the...

Valla and Yella, you can take your actions. Ivy will take her turn before the lobster monsters.

Wing loads his crossbow as he follows Thuddar. "This is unnerving."

Teodo, the Iron Lion (50.30) Connected to Hex 51.29 Not all meteors are harbingers of woe and chaos from beyond the stars. Those that fall from the sun are gifts to the Lion in Splendor's faithful. These meteorites are made of a iron of unsurpassed purity, which is considered sacred. The Last...

Thanks for sharing your stuff!

Wow, missed out on a lot of OOC chat. Seems everyone's set on taking one more prisoner. Sukri's morality is quite flexible, especially when it involves creatures that try to kill him. He would eagerly assist Bayar in an interrogation, maybe more with the "sense motive" side of things than the...

Wing's enthusiasm has already waned since stepping out of the sunlight. He plods up the stairwell, grunting under his pack's weight. "I get a worried feeling there may be no food here," he says, patting his belly. "Ate nothing but bat jerky, lichen and toadstools for, how long has it been?"

Despite his body reeling from being wounded and recovering in the span of moments, Sukri manages to hurtle after Bayar. He realizes the weird lights dancing in the woods are not spots created by his own addled mind, but a spell illuminating the creature that shot him. "This time we have you,"...

There's nothing wrong with some anthropological wankery every now and then. :) Jahur, the Jeweled City I modeled Jahur very loosely after the Ottoman Empire. The Zuhrimans who founded Jahur no longer have an empire, but the city has kept imperial traditions. This includes a clear separation of...

Sukri misjudges the creature's anatomy, and drives his blade through the stomach instead of the ribs. He winces at his error. Before he can end the creature's misery, he hears Bayar's command. The big fighter hustles off into the gloom, peering around his shield as if he could spot a nocturnal...
