Notes/Pets:

Hindrances
Enemy (Major): Spurned the advances of princess Gwendolyn to preserve my unbiased virtue as a protector of all people, both rich and poor. Feeling angry and rejected (nobody spurns the princess), she now obsessively works to either kill me with her bare hands or change my mind. (Think John Belushi and Carrie Fisher in The Blues Brothers.)
Loyal (Minor): There is no greater sin than abandoning my friends when they are in danger.
Pacifist (Minor): Will only attack in self-defense, but regards any threat to my friends as a personal attack.

Mule (Fancy)
Attributes: Agility d4, Smarts d4 (A), Spirit d6, Strength d8, Vigor d8
Skills: Guts d6, Notice d4
Pace: 6; Parry: 2; Toughness: 8
Special Abilities
• Fleet-Footed: Mules roll d8 instead of d6.
• Kick: Str.
• Ornery: Mules are contrary creatures. Characters must subtract 1 from their Riding rolls when riding them.
• Size +2: Mules are stocky creatures
weighing up to 1000 pounds.

Expedition to the Valley of the Frog God 2

cr0m — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 15:35:49 CDT

Summary:
The adventurers Unkill Goregargler, Deezer, Dogfael Whipscorn, Unkill's retainer Wayne Scotting and Fancy the Mule return to the Valley of the Frog God intending to explore a pit under the ruined temple. Instead they set a trap on the frog idol shrine and kill a frog demon.

Date: 2008-06-12
In-game date: June 9-12, 1008 (still in progress).

As told by Deezer to noone in particular around the campfire...

"I don't care whatcha says you heard, I woke up with dat huge spider on me. I did NOT give it drinks, I did NOT talk sexy at her, and I DID NOT DID NOT make any so-called first moves.

Da huge spider, is, of course, Tinkerbell. She's my friend from home...long story, not wort' 1 xp. Long and short is, I didn't take her on da first trip 'cause someone told me dat spiders are allergic to frogs. Got home from dat and Tink rips a strip off my hide for leavin' her outta da loop.

Dis time, we shows up at da bar again, and dere's the Gore-Eater (or whatever's'name is) half-orc from last time and his whiney little slave boy, Trainspotting or somethin. Dis time dere's also dis magic-fighter guy, Dogshit or somethin. Lookin at 'im, I took 'im for a bit of a pansy, hones' truth. Me ma says 'is not fair to whup someone's ass and use magic at the same time, anyways. Dogshit had an ass (I means a DONKEY, smartass) to carry around his stuff.

We leaves town and gets back to da river (was dere a river last time? I was too busy pissin me pants to notice), and Tinkerbell shoots a web t'd'other side for us to hold on'a way across. 'Course, then noone takes da rope and a fuckin' alligator or somethin pops up out'da'water. Dat's when Dogshit kicks 'is ass, and I started to see 'im different.

We camps, right, and in'a middle of da night, some kinda beat-up unicorn (dat's right, I said UNICORN) shows up, lookin' ta rumble. Dogshit waves at it or somethin', then sits on 'is ass on the ground. Goddamn unicorn pisses off intoda woods! So if you e'er see a pissed-off unicorn, pretend yer takin' a crap, and he'll bugger off. Remember Deezer saved yer life. I was so impressed wit' his control over d'animals dat I had to take Tink into da woods for a chat.

WIPE DAT FUCKIN GRIN OFF YOUR FACE. I'M BETTIN' YOU WOULDN'T BRING EVERY SINGLE TEN-TO-TWO WHO YOU'VE DROPPED YOUR STANDARDS FOR BACK TO MA EITHER. In any case, Tink fucked off. I don't think she liked da donkey.

Nex' day, we gets back to da quicksand 'n' Tink shows up again, wit' four baby spiders. Dey had half-orc/half-elf heads. I don't know where shemet a bunch of eyork spiders, but dey certainly liked me. Ain't many eyorks around, I guess. Da spiders wraps up da donkey, and hauls her up da vines so dat Dogshit doesn't need to have a sad steak dinner. Goreman and me goes along, wit' Tink and her friends and Trainspotting. Looks like a circus. Goreman had dis magic bag of stuff dat would keep appearing, and da DM kept yelling at him for it. Don't know why. If a man's got a magic bag, it ain't his fault.

We gets back to da frog-statue, and it looks like somethin' huge has put it back straight. So, we sets some traps, knocks over da statue again to stir up shit, and waits. Sure enough, bastard shows up all pissed off. He was huge. Like, ten feet or somethin', skin thick like a tree. While me and Dogshit is busy bein' terrified, Tink and da donkey sets up a slingshot wit' spiderweb, and starts slingin baby spiders at da fucker! Who woulda thought dat showin' up with 5 bonus non-player characters wielding webs and poison would be an advantage.

Anyways, da rest is academic. Goreman trew a bunch of tricks from his magic bag at da MotherFrog, Dogshit steps in a lays down da smack (and once and for all, dat guy can kick some fuckin' ass, I'm convinced), Tink and de eyork-iders are bitin and shittin and trowin down webs, and I patiently masterminded da whole ting.

Dat's about how I remembers it. If you remember it oderwise...that's fine, but I get da point, cause I'm first."

Expedition to the Valley of the Frog God

cr0m — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:25:25 CDT

Summary:
The adventurers Unkill Goregargler, Preston Lewis, Pearly, Deezer, Magnus Brule and Unkill's retainer Wayne Scotting tracked the outlaws Kinat & Rentor to the Valley of the Frog God and killed them.

Date: 2008-06-06
In-game date: June 3-7, 1008.

A letter from Preston Lewis to his sister:

"Dearest Sister,

In this damp, dark corner of the world, forsaken by every decent god, there are only criminals. One would imagine there would be "work" for me in a place like this. Instead, I have become a lawman, of sorts. When the innkeeper posted the bounty on a pair of outlaws, a father and son suspected of murdering this lands' old lord, I led a band of mongrels out into the jungle, after them.

Magnus the Wizard is the most tolerable of my five comrades, though our first difficulty was to rescue him from giant, man-eating frogs when he got trapped in quicksand. These jungles are enough to make men mad, or worse. But I am getting ahead of myself. We were told these bandits might be hiding near some ancient ruins, so we made our way to that location. We found a primitive pyramid, topped by a hideous, frog-like idol.

Atop the pyramid, I killed a giant rat, pure white in colour. Skewered him on the end of my sword. But read on, my sister, for what I witnessed is most extraordinary! After expiring, the rat transformed into a naked old man, with long white hair. It was the father outlaw. Surely, we thought, the son could not be far away.

We made camp in the ruins of the antediluvian pyamid. You may disbelieve me, but what happened next is true. Before the sun's rays broke the horizon, dead men sprang from the earth and attacked us! Our porter, Wainscotting, was sleeping on watch, and it fell to myself and my companion Deezer to sense this danger and awaken the others. The mongrel eyork Deezer is a wastrel and a sisterfucker, but on this occasion, he showed some competency. At least he is not a drunk, like the other half-ork, Unkill Goregargler, who fled screaming into the jungle with Wainscotting as soon as he untangled himself from his hammock. I suppose Unkill is what passes for a "musician" amongst barbarians, but all he does is smash his cymbals together and yell. My fifth companion was a muleman named Crot, whom everyone calls Pearly. He walks upright and talks like a man, though for all that he is not much smarter than a mule. To his credit, his powerful hooves and handy shovel made him a great help in dispatching these undead fiends.

After daybreak, we found the rest of the bandits, hiding in their lair, and ambushed them. Unkill and Wainscotting had found their courage and returned to us, for I suppose they are less fearful of living men, but sadly this was a mixed blessing. It is hard to take a man by surprise when one of your comrades is enthusiastically bashing his cymbals together. In any event, we backed the outlaw son into a corner, and I slew him as well. I would have liked to question him about the old lord's suspicious death, but he would not surrender, preferring death to the chains of justice. So it is for some men.

We returned their heads to the lord's keep and recovered the bounty. But soon, I wil return to the jungle. Their ruined house was built atop some sort of subterranean construction, and perhaps they hid something down there. Or perhaps it is more ancient ruins of some evil, extinct tribe, whose grave-treasures lie waiting to be discovered. We shall see.
with love,

Preston."

From the journal of Pearly:

"Not much for writin, what with the weather comin in an crops to harvest and men need axin but sometimes it wurth puttin thoughts to paper a spose. that preston he put it bout as well as it can be put tho i dont much care for big words an talkin to sister folk without a chaperone but who am i to say whats what just a muleman with a shovel hoe axe an blanket. dont need none of when it really comes down to it, just these hooves an a pasture but where theres someone to get along with is all. these folks might be ugly an the cymblin hurts these ears more than crows hurt a corns but i aint complanin never have been my lot in this old world to get by with what i got and thats a set of teeth can bite a ladies finger soon as kiss it an a face chiltins run screamin from but i aint complainin. sleepin on the tops of stones and slippin round in the dark stabbin and the dead come back for second clobberin and goin on an on about some missin sister its sure no dinner with the queen but its helluva lot better than a knife in the eye and lemme tell you a knife in the eye aint nothing to laugh at. theres some gold we go for them deeds and these buggers better share it fare or crots gonna have to show them the shovel but i reckon thell split it likewise and give old crot what he deserves. might be if they do ill stick with em. bury the gold with the rest of my haul and maybe buy myself a night with that whore dina itll take a whole purse of gold to get her to turn her face to mine but i aint complainin. just hope none of these boys cross me cause then i get fierce mad and then there might be a killin. third leg needs a watering. this pen and paper business hurts the old grey stuff."

The Little Keep

cr0m — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:41:59 CDT

Established by the Wizards of the Council, the Little Keep is part trading post, part court, and part seasonal encampment. Lord Guisarme is the current Governor-General and Quartermaster.

Prices are set by WotC. Weapons, armor and common items are for sale at Ye Olde Shoppe. Uncommon items are shipped several times a year from the mainland. Visitors to the Little Keep are encouraged to convert their hard currency to store credit upon arrival. Do your part to reduce banditry and brigandism!

Returning players will want to check out the News for updates on current expeditions, bounties offered, recent arrivals and our award-winning obituaries.

Room and board is available at the Axe & Thistle, our tavern. The first flagon is free for Dwarves. For more modest accomodations, camping is permitted on the prairie. Please keep all open fires no less than a bowshot from the walls, lest we forget the tragic example of the late Governor-General Amalgam.

Our meager spiritual needs are attended by Father Fred at the Shrine of St Cuthbert. The good father reminds visitors that donations are not to be left unattended. Instead seek him out at the taproom, except evenings during vespers.

Before setting out on any dangerous expedition, consider a visit to The Hermit first.

Equipped, healed and liquored up? Then assemble your party, schedule a game with cr0m and journey onward!

Houserules:

Parties who make it back have their gold banked automatically.
Parties who write an after action report get bonus xp.
Shopping happens offline, on the honor system. Anything fantasy-friendly on the SW book is available.
Players pay their PCs' room and board between sessions, on the honor system.
Magic items are identified automatically at the Keep.
No more than six players on an expedition.

Kinat & Rentor

cr0m — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 01:35:55 CDT

A father-son team of mercenaries, wanted in connection with the death of Lord Amalgam, the Governor-General's predecesor.

Rentor is easily recognizable by his white hair and beard, though he is still hale and cunning. Kinat is a younger, more violent version of his father.

They were killed for the bounty placed on their heads by Lord Guisarme.

Valley of the Frog God

cr0m — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 16:53:57 CDT

Follow the stream SE of the Keep to find this narrow, swampy valley named for the shrine to a forgotten god just inside its Western entrance. Quicksand makes travel dangerous, as does an infestation of giant frogs. There is a dilapadated minehead and a deep, water filled shaft where one expedition cornered and killed a gang of wanted outlaws.

Wispwood

cr0m — Mon, 26 May 2008 15:27:53 CDT

The jungle SE of the Keep is known as the Wispwood, for the ghostly lights reported by explorers. Rumored to conceal a haunted ruin or temple, depending on the stories.

Expeditions should bring plenty of water, since some local sources carry a pernicious fever. Large, carnivorous frogs are another reason to avoid the many streams, pools and creeks.
