This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Har, I was worried that the cuffs were for something really unsavory! I also dig those clogs!

The Ondish don't enslave each other, but Wildmen and the decadant Wisse are free game and have often been enslaved by the Ondish during their various wars and campaigns. With the frontiers being quiet lately, Numaeon has likely turned his hand to a tastier line of work - Tomb raiding!

Cheers,

Phil

Good to know.

Slaving was easy money compared to the other options open to big kid who grew up dirt poor with no prospects, and better to be the slaver than the enslaved - he's a guy who makes a show of worshiping at the temple of Neorth but has probably offered a small sacrifice or three over the years to Astaroth as well. But he wasn't going to retire on a slaver's wages, so the Barrowmaze seems like an opportunity.

Jolly would like to hire Mergo, the halfling man-at-arms, and Peldic, the human torch-bearer, if possible.

Great! Hire them for two weeks upfront and deduct the coin. The cleric will come without pay as she has her own agenda (more on that later in the play thread). Since there are just two players right now I suggest that both of you divide the cost and hire the lot. As we have fun I am confident that others will join in.

Cheers,

Phil

Alright, 21 gold is off the sheet and hirelings are on it. :)

Jolly doesn't have much more money after that; he needs to purchase some torches and then he will be tapped out.

Absolutely! The little intro scene was just to set some atmosphere and to fast track you guys to the dungeon entrance. The fun is now ready to get started, so please, chime in.

If anyone else wants to join in, just post your LL starting character here, and let us know which current man-at-arms you are replacing from the list published earlier in this thread.

Cheers!

Dwarves must be actively searching for these abilities to function.
•   In addition to these abilities, dwarves are particularly hardy people, and have a strong resistance to magic, as reflected in their saving throws.
•   Further, a dwarf character will speak the common tongue, dwarvish, and his own alignment language. Because of their frequent interaction underground with these creatures, dwarves will also speak goblin, gnome, and kobold.
