This concludes chapter one of my campaign.
Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

He's not inadequate, he's just got DADD (dwarven attention deficit disorder)

Okay, I just read the IC results, and with Dorgio's knife only striking with the hilt, I can't help but think of that scene in Shaun of the Dead where Shaun beans a zombie with a tether ball.

Okay we may consider the IC thread closed for now. If you like, we can post an interim thread for roleplaying in between now and the next chapter.

I will summarize the aftermath for you guys, as well.

Good job on rescuing the girl!

Norzak will learn that the girl lives with her uncle and father. They refugees from someplace in Barvovia [they are Gundarakites, if Norzak can even tell they difference]. The home is a refurbished previously abandoned home, occupied by a number of families who live together for mutual protection and convenience, here in this strange city. One doesn't the the impression they are prosperous types, but neither are they living in squalor and abject poverty.

All righty then. Norzak wants to pay them a visit and donate 2 of the 3 gems he has on his sheet,ewan. Oh and he will ask Denys to help them out too !!

Some aftermath stuff...


The Grand Ball held for the first harvest[ late summer] is in just a couple of days! You are all invited, courtesy of Evie's father. If Dorgio has nothing fnacvy to wear, that can easily be remeided[ assuming he wants to attend].

Denys is not so crude as to offer a cash reeward for saving Evangeleine. No, the rewards [beyond a sesne of having done well] are of a less tnagible, but potentially more valuable nature/ You are all now connected with the upper middle class of the city of Pont-a-Museau. People regard you as men who ''get practical things done, with a minimum of questions asked.'' That's a bankable reputation in a town like this one!

In fact, if you all wanted to set up some kind of agency, you easily could. There are plenty of people who would pay [in cash, favors, or secrets] for help with various problems they'd rather not trust to the Watch.

Oh, speaking of the Watch, Denys pulls some strings and those quietly wanted posters quietly disappear over the next few days.

Sweet. P.S I like the agency idea. What about you fellows?

Denys will help them by hiring any of the unemployed members of Anja's family [and also some of their friends from the building]. Up till now, the men have mostly been working as day laborers, lacking the connections to get better paying jobs.


Anja's family are very grateful to Norzak, of course!

Ah man, if the IC thread is closed, then I can't get out my "Who knows about tossing better than a dwarf?" quip! Ah well, guess I'll just save that chestnut for the next chapter.

Okay, things Dorgio will be doing in the interim, time permitting...

-Visiting Anja. He'll visit her and her family (presumably his house is in the same Gundarakite ghetto as theirs) and regail her with stories of the Old Country. When he finds out that not only has Norzak given the family gifts, but also arranged for emoployment, his respect for the Dwarf will grow. He won't even mention "stabbygate," as it were, because he's become at least halfway convinced that Norzak means well.

-He'll at some point track down Konstans and the others searchers and buy them a few rounds as thanks for helping extinguish him.

-He'll attend the Ball, and might even stoically accept a fancy suit for the occassion, if for no other reason than to take advantage of the fancy drinks.

-He'll try to read up as best he can about Incabulos (presumably alongside Benn) and also try to find out more information about the undead creature they fought. He'll also try to quietly find out more info about Malreux and try to make sense of his dying words.

When would y'all like to see the beginning of the next adventure? The soonest I can begin would be late next week.

As for character actions, I think your PCs' will have a few weeks of game time to do whatever they like.
