Huldra

The huldra are the main antagonist of the Kids on Bikes mini-arch. They're spirits that protect the forest. They lure young men away to make them thralls. They look like normal people from the front, but their back is covered in what looks similar to a dinosaur's scales, but bark, and they have a tail. The male version is the huldrekarl.

## Abilities

* They can make themselves invisible to those they choose. They show up on camera, though it's unknown if the camera will see them every time.
* They can shapeshift, though they can't hide their tails.

## Sightings

* Ep. 151: Duncan sees a woman in his camera's viewfinder while filming the runestone. She looks angry, and when he takes it away she's gone. He and Rick search around for her, but only find an impression of where she would have been standing.
* Ep. 153: While getting ready for bed, Stephanie notices a weird glow coming from her window. She looks out and sees her crush, Brick, being led into the woods by the huldra.
* Ep. 155: Rick lures the huldra out of hiding by attacking the trees, and then into the circle by taunting her. She's enraged when Duncan and Stephanie close her inside, and even manage to get Brick out. Franklin recites an incantation, and she's sent underground to be joined with the huldrekarl.

Ep. 66 The Raven’s Toll Chapter Six

—Erebus

Booyah, Dex, and Boranel lay unconscious, while Beric remains standing to face the banshee. Forunately, Booyah quickly recovers, and is able to heal Dex. Beric gets Boranel up, and Boranel is ecstatic about fighting this creature. Dex and Booyah become freightened of her horrifying visage, and flee, leaving Boranel and Beric to finish the fight. Booyah comes back on his own; Dex has to be coaxed back.

Beric and Boranel explore upstairs. Beric finds Leiliana, but at soon as she starts talking puts her back down. Dex comes into the room and is horrified at the mountain of hair that's fallen around Beric, but it very pleased with his new dagger that Beric kicks over to him.

Dex tries disarming a trap, and falls through the floor. Arsal Ditharn stands before him, wearing a sickeningly pale green vulture mask. He pulls out his pact weapon, a double-bladed scimitar, and slashes at Dex.

Dex nicks his thumb on his ribbonweave, and a beam of light shoots out, covering the whole cellar.

Beric jumps through the opening. He reachs out to summon Erebus, but instead a black armour envelops. His voice pattern changes, as Erebus, not Beric, speaks.

Boranel trips and falls into the pit. Dex gets knocked out by his own ability, Booyah heals him, and he's then knocked out again by Ditharn.

Ditharn attacks Beric with his scimitar once again, and the shadows around Beric wrap around Ditharn's neck. Ditharn is covered in the shadow, and his staff is absorbed into Beric.

Pixie Gulch

### Inhabitants

Borne • Elijah • Glorfin Spurbottom • Greta Hammerfist • Grum Craighollow • Leilia Danfield • Mathias Six-Killer • Mikki Westwood

## Episodes

### First appearance

Ep. 157 Dusters & Dragons Chapter One

Pixie Gulch is one of the last stops on the Iron Carriage. It's a fontier town with a small population. Mikki is the sheriff, and the main gathering place for its inhabitants is the saloon her father used to own.

The first colonists from the Old World came to the New World a few generations ago, building the Iron Carriage shortly after. Crossing the Great Rift to explore the New World was a dangerous journey at the time, but has since become routine with the Iron Carriage being able to take people to and from and Old and New Worlds.

There are many natural resources in the New World, and no small amount of threat. Its main export is bluestone. It can do many interesting arcane things, but most people prize it for its deathly possibilities to creatures with fey blood.

## Fey creatures

Three generations ago, people from the Old World found a way to cross the dangerous Great Rift by building the Iron Carriage, and started colonizing the Frontier. They discovered fey creatures, native orcs and elves, very distant ancestors of their own orcs and elves.

Those from the Old World had a lot of myths and legends, and upon coming to the New World found some of those to be accurate. New World orcs are barbarous, often refered to as the Hoarde. New World elves are very naturalistic and shamanistic, compared to the high born, noble Old World elves.

The Loaded Dice have just been invited into Coruum's office. All thoughts of the job leave Erys as she sees the arcane focuses mounted on the walls, and other technology filling the place. The arcane focuses are actually linked up to allow someone in a different location to see into the office.

They do some weapons smuggling, but there's a vetting process for who they sell to.

In the middle of talking to Coruum, Solman walks in and dismisses her. Solman only gives them the location to Alsois to get information from them; they tell him that Jason is a Mark of Shadow elf.

—Philip

The Loaded Dice head to the Cogs, main base of the Delvers. Erys chucks a light stick down a magically dark pit. The light is destroyed by some type of metallic metal legs that reach into the darkness. Their old friend Grum walks out of the building and tells them it's a skittering horror; something they don't want to mess with. They go inside and start talking to Lady Briar, but commotion outside alerts them to an attack from the skittering horrors!

Erys, Reynard, and Milo stay inside to shoot at them from there, while Hob runs out to smash. When Erys shoots one of the creatures, its blood sprays onto one of the Delvers and burns their skin.

Hob rushes them, tearing into bodies as he goes, and splatters the big one against the wall. Its so smashed that the blood splurts into Hob's eyes. They burn with the acid, and he temporarily loses his vision.

A fire elemental from Fernia was summoned to power the arms and harness they're connected to.

Haydith ir'Wynarn

—Haydith ir'Wynarn

The sister of the king of Karrnath, Haydith ir'Wynarn is a ward of King Boranel in Breland. She also moonlights as The Red Owl, the leader of an organizatoin who's purpose is to bring down the monarchy. At some point she gains posession of a piece of the pact, until Erebus takes it from her.

## History

### Darkness Rising

In Xandrar admist a battle with shadows, a woman with a red owl mask is seen commanding the Swords of Liberty through hands gestures. She stands out as being the only one with this unique mask, everyone else having a blue eagle.

When the party explores the Dhakaani Ruins near Xandrar that the Swords of Liberty have been using as their base, they find The Red Owl talking with Trant. Beric sneaks up behind her with an *Invisibility* spell and places Curse-Bringer by her throat. They exchange some heated words, and when Dex riffles through her desk and accidentally starts the countdown for the bomb she's hidden in side they all flee. While running, Beric mocks her for her stupid plans and she isn't miffed in the slightest.

They take her to the blacksmith, who's their Dark Lantern contact in Xandrar, but she's pretty confident that she will not be detained for long.

### The Journey Back

It becomes clear that "The Red Owl" has escaped when Beric, Dex, and Therudak read the *Sharn Inquisitive* and see her hugging King Boranel, with the caption: **Rogue Brelish Agents Kidnap and Accost Haydith ir'Wynarn**. The party realizes that the Red Owl is actually the sister of the king of Karrnath, and she's just given their description to the papers.

### The Brelish Job

Beric tracks Haydith down, intending to kill her to take her part of the pact. When it comes time to, however, Erebus takes control of Beric, and he makes her a deal: give up the pact willingly, and he'll ignore Beric's promise. She gives it over, and Erebus leaves her unharmed.

Ep. 46 The Power of Words Chapter One

—Patrick Ness, *A Monster Calls*

The party makes their way through the Xen'drik jungle, on their way to Stormreach. Along the way Booyah shows them his red stone which is in Planar Justice, and matches the stones Dex has been looking for. When everyone is settling down for the night, Oargev talks to Dex about his distrust for Beric's black book. Dex is wary of the book himself, but trusts it in Beric's hands.

The next morning Booyah leads them again towards Stormreach. When they break for lunch, Oargev confronts Beric about his book, while Booyah happily reads his white one. After arguing about what to do with the black book to keep it safe, they head off again.

While traveling, they come across a man with a decree—they're under arrest by decree of the king, and are to report to Wroat. Dex rips the decree in half with his ribbonweave, and in rewarded with a dagger in his shoulder.

## Quotes

"It doesn't concern me that Beric is getting more powerful. It doesn't concern me that Beric doesn't yet know the extent of his abilities because Beric doesn't concern me. If this was me, we should all be very scared. But it's not. It's Beric. He's thoughtful and judicious and makes the right decisions except for that one time."
*—Dex 0:19:29*

Lucan Osteroth

—Lucan[src]

Unlike any other pact members the party comes across, Lucan was the original holder of his part of the pact. Upon receiving what he calls "the gift," he was turned into a vampire; the first vampire to be created. He gathered seven pieces of the pact before being killed.

His pact weapon manifests in the form of a black gnarly longsword.

## History

### Ancient Memories

Lucan is in his underground lair with Sevalrin, drinking the blood of Barasha when he first meets the party. He and Beric get into a lengthy argument about the dragonborn, the stones, and the pact. It ultimately goes nowhere, and ends when Beric casts Moonbeam on Sevalrin. The vampire and his cohorts are defeated, but Lucan retreats in mist form to his body and reforms.

### The Five Runes

Lucan lures Beric to Mistmarsh, ready to make a deal. Part of the pact is being held by a dragon, and he wants them to join together to get it. Beric is not at all appreciative of the way Lucan is trying to manipulate him, and things don't go smoothly. After arguing over terms, they realize they aren't going to end this peacefully, and a fight breaks out. It doesn't go quite as planned; after killing Paulo he vanishes into mist form, intending to flee to fight another day. Instead, he's tracked by Drakir's spell, and when his time is up in his mist form, he's forced to return to his coffin, where Dex and Drakir stab him with a stake, haul him out, and kill him in the river.

They tell the party that they hadn't seen Jacob at Gram's that day, but they found him later and he tried convincing them to go into the Faded Forest with him.

—Beric

Varen Lassite fills the party in on the layout of Yorrick Amanatu's house—the house he wants them to break into. Beric is not okay with becoming an assassin, but does want to investigate the obelisk, and Dex and Booyah are much more willing, and so they agree to check it out.

They have two weeks to plan their heist, and they make the most of it. Dex changes into a delivery boy to scout out the inside of the house, and he and Booyah patrol outside. Beric looks in the black book for spells of concealment or passage. Beric clears out the staff by convincing Paulo's employee's that since the Storm Lords are having a party, they should also get the night off.

The night of the party arrives. Dex transforms into Yorrick to get them past his security. They find the obelisk in the basement, along with a golem who forms from the ground and attacks!

### The Dawn of Mourning

Sel Shadra has Crast placed in the Red Ring after a bar fight results in the death of his opponent. To get him out, Dex and Booyah promise to deliver a message to Varen Lassite: she knows he's a King's Shadow.

### Rising Tides

Having retreated to Sharn after Stormreach is overtaken, Sel Shadra sits comfortably in her mansion in the upper plateaus. She's been keeping an eye on the party and sends for them when she discovered an obelisk under Castar's home and offers them a reward for dealing with the problem. They don't outright reject the offer, but Beric is very clear that they will not be her hired thugs and if they do anything about it, it will be because it's the right thing to do, not because she told them to.

Franklin is a nineteen-year-old living in Pineville who has the ability to use magic. He's currently in the Youth League, and Clarence is teaching him how to use his magic.

Franklin goes with the gang to find Brick, and then recites an incantation to imprison the huldra underground.

## Magic Abilities

### Telepresence

One of the things Clarence taught Franklin was how to project himself into a different place. He can see through that image while his physical body stays in place, and no one can see the projected image. Clarence had him stay in a room and tell him the headline of a newspaper that was in a restaurant accross the street.

He uses this ability to find Brick after his physical trail goes cold.

Polymorph Blade

—Drakir

The **Polymorph Blade** is a sword found in Khyber, along with a few other magical weapons that can change its appearance and shape. Dex wielded it briefly.

## Description

The sword shifts into whatever suits the user best. It will change its appearance in the blink of an eye, being curved one way then the other, being sharp on both sides and then only one, and other small changes like that.

## Properties

When you make an attack with this weapon and roll a natural 20, the creature must make a DC 15 Wisdom Saving Throw. On a fail, they suffer the effect of the Polymorph spell. Roll on a random table (creatures on the table are unknown at this point) to determine what it ranges into. A creature is immune to this effect if it is immune to damage of the weapon's type, is a shapechanger, or has Legendary Actions.

### Minor Curse

Attached to this sword is also a minor curse. Until the curse is broken with Remove Curse or similar magic, the wielder is unwilling to part with the weapon. Whenever they attack and roll a natural 1, they suffer the effect of Polymorph for an hour with no save. The curse is not applicable to save immunities.

Ep. 47 The Power of Words Chapter Two

—Chuck Palahniuk

The party had just been confronted by a man holding their arrest warrant on the road to Stormreach. Dex reaches with his ribbonweave and from a tree yanks down the person who'd just threw a dagger at him—an elf from House Phiarlan. Beric scares the man off, and then turns and pulls another elf down with Lightning Lure. Booyah reaches into his bag and pulls out, to his dismay, some dragon blood. Upon hearing his worried exclamation, Barasha takes the jar and chugs it. It causes him to feel invigorated and ready to fight.

During the fight Beric gets knocked unconscious, and Dex has a tug-of-war with his ribbonweave. Upon receiving healing from Booyah and Barasha, Beric casts Darkness to help cover himself from his enemies. This proves quite useful as they accidentally kill one another.

Dex tries a trick and turns himself into the leader of the assassins. He unfortunately doesn't get to make use of it, as the last opponent falls before he has a chance. Even more unfortunate for him, Beric didn't see him turn into the rogue leader, and when he drops Darkness throws his sword at Dex, thinking him the enemy. Beric questions why Dex would even do something like that and heals him. Dex turns into his moon elf form for the first time.

Applause comes from the trees, and out step three creatures: Sigur, Treyna, and Odorn.

Ep. 77 The Brelish Job Chapter Ten

—Drakir

Behind the riddle-locked door, Drakir and Beric hear something skittering towards them. Dex and Booyah are frantically trying to fit the shards in place to let them out, but they realize Beric has the last one. Drakir turns to shadow and floats through the cracks to the other side, with the stone.

Before letting Beric out, Drakir asks Dex what's happened to him since they last saw each other. Sometimes the price for victory is too high. He gives Dex the efreeti lamp, and they let Beric out.

Some kind of beholder comes out from a crack in the wall and wraps a tentacle around Drakir. It starts drinking from him to the point that he falls unconscious, and Dex manages to cut the tentacle clean off. Booyah gets Drakir back on his feet, and Drakir kills the creature.

Dex closes the door and takes the shards out.

They go back up the shaft. After some complaints from Dex, Erebus uses Disguise Self to look and sound like Beric, which doesn't actually do much to comfort Dex.

Dex changes into Merrix to get past the warforged guards. Erebus changes into Vern to creep Dex out even further.

They pass out various poisons to capture Haydith and Strent, and re-join the party. Beric gets Three's attention by briefly changing into Urik, and they move off to talk privately. Beric tells him that Boranel is fake, and they agree to meet the next day, when Beric can bring him proof.

A portal forms, and Connor, disguised as the lich, steps out.

## Quotes

"Let's not forget that this door–our great nemesis, the doors, allied to our other great nemesis, the riddle, is brought to us by our vicious patrons, from whom Eric crowd sourced this information. And we will have our revenge."
*—Philip 0:02:58*

"It's almost as if all these shards were meticulously placed throughout this vault in places that indicated clues as to which slot they might go into."
"It's almost as if we spent six months in a dungeon and wanted to just get through the damn thing."

Pineville is a small town in Wisconsin known for its lumber exporting. The school team is the Pineville Loggers. It was founded by George W. Pine, and the cabin he built is still standing and known as the Founder's Cabin.

## Geography

A river runs through town, big enough that it can't be jumped over, but at parts shallow enough that it can be waded through. There's at least one bridge that you can cross.

The town has a lumber yard, which is its main export.

### Viking Runestone

There are more ley lines in Pineville than anywhere else, and the town even has a shop dedicated to it—owned by Rick's grandfather. He's a True Believer, and helps tourists that come to visit. The ley lines converge on a Viking runestone, which Rick and his grandfather have examined closely. There's a rumor that under the runestone is a burried Viking king.

## Rumors

Some of the various rumors around town.

* The Pineville Defenestrator, a serial killer who threw his victim's corpses out of windows twenty years ago, is still alive.
* Underneath the Runestone is a burried king.
* The principle has secret rendezvous at the Founder's Cabin.
* Once you get deep enough in the Youth League, it gets really weird.

Erys flashbacks to one of her lessons with Olive d'Cannith. Erys shows her a glove she wants to enhance so that it'll help her work faster, but they're interrupted when Norson Milhatch and his son, Harbin show up. Erys makes somewhat awkward conversation with Harbin as Norson and Olive talk privately. Afterward, Erys shows Olive one of the schemas she found in the Cannith warehouse.

On their job once again, the crew takes a look around the body and finds a note directing someone to meet someone named Chance in Dragoneyes. They argue about whether to go to Dragoneyes to try to find Kyrela or to the Cogs to complete the job from Halden. They finally settle on the Cogs.

Sigil tries flying under the radar as they speed illegally through the city, but they're noticed by the city watch, who give chase. They're keeping just ahead, but when Sigil tries to cut a corner too close, the skycoach tumbles and everyone is thrown from it. They look around, and realize they've ended up in Dragoneyes.

Norson Milhatch

—Eric, on Norson's feelings towards Reynard

Norson is a scientist from Rekkenmark who was working with Olive on a project to turn dragonshards into a consumable substance called Dragon's Breath. His research is funded by Solman Calloway.

## History

One of the times he met with Olive was during one of Ery's lessons, and that also turned out to be when he stole Olive's research. He didn't want to wait for human trials, but she believed it wasn't ready to go that far yet.

### Dragon's First Breath

The Loaded Dice go to Milhatch HQ to steal back the research, and get there just in time to see Norson entering a chamber of some sort with dragonshards feeding into it. When he comes out he's agressive and almost beastial in nature.

### Night at the Gala

Norson attends a gala to reveal Primofit's new eldritch machine. Coincidentally, it's also the same gala in which Reynard and Sana are trying to steal said device. Reynard manages to avoid Norson for most of the night, but finally ends up in his grasp when the job is almost done. To save himself, Reynard shouts that he himself has the stolen property the guards are looking for, and in this way escapes Norson's strangely powerful grip.

Ep. 85 The Five Runes Chapter Four

—Philip

Unable to come to peaceful terms, the fight against Lucan begins. Crast is out for most of the fight, after being turned into a sparrow and flying harmlessly about. Lucan spends a good amount of the fight on the ceiling.

Further into the fight, they hear wolves howling outside, and Lucan warns that they should leave. Sickening energy swirls around his sword, and it shoots out at Paulo. She falls to the ground, and no amount of healing helps her.

Dex's ribbonweave wraps around Lucan's neck, and he disappears into mist.

Paulo's eyes open. Beric runs to her, but when he tries to help, she starts clawing at him. Beric, heartbroken at realizing she's a zombie, puts his sword through her heart.

Drakir and Dex gives chase in the skiff. Thanks to Drakir's spell, they're able to track Lucan until he has to return to his physical body, and they put a stake through him and drag him to the river, finally ending him.

—Beric to Lucan

The party walks in on Lucan, Sevalrin, and Klarg, with Barasha tied up on a chair. Lucan thinks Drakir is the one who has part of the pact, and he and Beric argue at length about transferring the pact, who gets the red stones, and if Barasha should be released. Lucan gets very upset when he sees not one, but two runes on Beric's sword, and assumes he's killed someone bearing a pact. The discussion ends when Beric accepts that Lucan isn't willing to give anything up without taking one of them as a vampire spawn, and throws a moonbeam at Klarg.

King of Sharn

—The King of Sharn

The **King of Sharn** is a kobold occupying an abandoned warehouse in Sharn. He leads at least thirteen noble followers, and rides a dire rat. Upon the Loaded Dice's trespass into his demesne, he demands pledges of loyalty. Erys, completely smitten with this whole scenario, promises to craft him regalia fitting to his stature if they're allowed to conduct business on his land.

## Physical Attributes

The King of Sharn wears various pieces of junk, most notably including a crown.

### Regalia

As promise, Erys makes the King the finest regalia. The helm resembles a rodent's skull, and it has brass and gold and precious stones. There's a spiky crown around the top of it, with a little cape that's got metal scales worked along it so that it clinks impressively. A scepter with a spearhead finishes the look. She has yet to deliver it.

—Beric

*Borrowed Time* has landed in Mistmarsh, and the party soon discovers that Lucan is not where they though he was. They return from the Dhakaani ruins, and find him at the old inn that Beric, Dex, and Draconos used to frequent when they were deputies in their small town.

Lucan gives them a surprising offer: he's tracked down a powerful dragon who wields the pact, and he wants them to work together to get it. Beric's counteroffer is that Lucan will first help them break Bala out, to which Lucan agrees, if they also break one of his friends out of Dreadhold.

They argue over terms until Beric accepts that they won't come to an agreement and draws Erebus.
