Remember the golden days of role playing, when adventures were underground, NPCs were there to be killed, and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Well, those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics feature bloody combat, intriguing dungeons, and no NPCs who aren’t meant to be killed. Each adventure is 100% good, solid dungeon crawl, with the monsters you know, the traps you fear, and the secret doors you know must be there somewhere.

Idylls of the Rat King was awarded an Honorable Mention for Best Adventure in the 2003 Gen Con Ennie Awards. In Idylls of the Rat King, goblin bandits are once again attacking the silver caravans, killing innocent miners and stealing cargo. The goblins have taken up residence in an abandoned mine northwest of Silverton. Someone must get rid of them. But this is no ordinary abandoned mine. It was deliberately barricaded generations ago when the Gannu family, founders of Silverton, discovered unspeakable evil on its lowest levels. And these are no ordinary goblins, for the curse of the Gannu family courses through their veins...

Morin Breaksword

(link to character sheet (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2829052))

https://i.postimg.cc/8sQ0jk7T/Morin5.jpg

Speech colour: Brown

Blond, blue-eyed and heavily tattooed, Morin looks every inch the hard-drinking, hard-fighting berserker that he is. When not wearing his well-maintained war helm and hauberk, he likes to dress in bright, flashy colours, but weather permitting he'll also go barechested, displaying his rock solid physique for all to see.

Known for his free-spending ways and raucous good humor, Morin is a dwarf of simple tastes but prodigious appetites. He craves gold, glory, and the thrill of man-to-man combat, or indeed any competition where he can display his strength and endurance. Whether he wins or loses, he celebrates to excess, gorging himself on the finest food, drink, and pleasurable company. On such occasions, Morin's generosity and good cheer win him many friends, even if many of them seem to disappear when party's over. But even in the darkest of times, Morin can always see the funny side, a trait which tends to endear him to all but the most serious-minded people.

Morin Breaksword hails from Hardhome, a dwarf hold many miles from Silverton. Following the traditions of his people, he left home to expand his horizons and to test his mettle against the strange folk that live beyond the mountain fastnesses of the dwarves. He has not been disappointed - in the past twelve months, he has drunk, laughed, and fought his way from county to county, making many friends, some enemies, and a slew of lasting memories to bring back home when his peregrination comes to an end.

A month ago, Morin arrived in Silverton, lured there by the promise of easy work guarding the silver caravans. On his second journey out, however, the caravan was attacked by goblins. Morin and the rest of the guards managed to drive them off, but not before they did considerable damage and absconded with two of the wagons. The caravan master turned back, and since then Morin has been stewing in Silverton, hankering for a rematch against the pesky goblins!

wooo, that IS high. Thanks haha

Alhallor
2023-09-07, 04:38 AM
I think I'll roll that too.

Gold: [roll0] Should definitely be enough to get some herbs.

@Greendragonpage: I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask if we could make the healers spellcasting actually work like the Warmages? I know it's supposed to be prepared spellcasting but they're both being in the same book and the healer having some nice utility spells that I will probably never prepare because healing is probably more important.

It's definitely not a necessary change and I'll happily play without it, just thought I could ask.

@Phyzor

I'm having a lot of trouble reading Smelkie's dialogue. Would you consider switching to another colour?

Darius Vibrtrar
2023-09-07, 08:08 PM
Some how changed my name from timothy to thomas, too late, im thomas now!

Phyzor
2023-09-08, 01:46 AM
I got a black background in my brower, guess in a light background it can be hard to read :smallsmile:
This a better one?

And Darius why not have Thomas as a calling name and Timothy as your real name :smallwink:

rax
2023-09-08, 03:36 AM
Yes, thanks. That works much better for me.

Luccan

I've had more than one character whose name changed from other PCs just not remembering how to pronounce it, this is like the text version of that

GreenDragonPage

Thomas is also a cool name. Timothy as well.

Darius Vibrtrar
2023-09-08, 06:01 PM

THOMAS TIMOTHY JONES

Middle names are cool:smallcool:

Phyzor

DM: Do you want us to roll spot/listen checks or will you do that for us?

Also we didn't specify who took the potions IC.
Did someone add them to their inventory already, so we dont lose track of em :smallsmile:

Alhallor
2023-09-12, 05:26 AM
If nobody has any objections I would take care of potion duty. (Probably gonna hand them out too)

Phyzor
2023-09-13, 01:58 AM

Did we sweep the room on the first volley?

Could be, but I suspect that Morin missed.

Phyzor

i suspect the BBEG to drop from the ceiling and TPK us by body slam once we step in the room

Our DM was last on the forum on Friday. I assume they're otherwise busy right now.

Luccan
2023-09-26, 12:45 PM
Yeah, I'm willing to wait, but not sure what's up

Phyzor
2023-09-27, 08:31 AM
Ill be checking in as well to see if his real life stuff is handled and theres fantasy time available

Phyzor
2023-10-06, 02:01 AM
Did anyone sent a direct message to our DM already? Dont want to be spamming him with questions.

Alhallor
2023-10-06, 02:44 AM
I did sent him a message last week or something, but seeing that he didn't logged in again I don't have much hope.
