Ghost Ship

Encountered in a large cloud of thick fog, this ghost ship is a former cargo ship that seems converted to a passenger ship, very recently abandoned. Bo, familiar with smuggling ships, led Dave and James aboard to see what was there.

They were horrified to find behind a secret panel and door the missing passengers, suspended from metal hooks and gruesomely tortured, and very dead. Beyond the bodies was a single barrel, but the sound of an explosion prompted Dave and Bo to head upstairs, though not before hearing a creepy gurgling sound. James stayed behind and painstakingly tried to open the barrel, not having any success until he shattered it with an Eldrich Blast. It exploded its contents all over him: guts. James then tried to make his way out but was bitten by a slobbering, crazed humanoid creature just before he managed to kill it.

Meanwhile, Jeff had seen something moving under the water latch itself to the ship, and cause the explosion, which created fire on both ships. Jeff used his dust of dryness to empty the water coming in the hull and used it to douse the flames.

Jeff posited that the "latch" was a magical trap of some kind, and asked to use Janxo's scepter to dispel it. It caused him force damage as it can only be used by Janxo, so he held onto Janxo with the scepter and waved the "latch" away.

The party was able to escape, and on their way back from their delivery Bo was able to use his channeled dragon breath to light the ghost ship (as well as an additional ship it had captured) on fire, hopefully sinking both -- but they didn't stay behind to find out.
Everhearth Fuzz Hut

The Everhearth Fuzz Hut is set up somewhere between Everhearth and the nearby mines, and is run by a person. Another odd choice in a series of odd choices, the Hut advertises itself as "where we have everything you need to get through a day in the mines", yet the mines are abandoned and not a popular site for tourism or shopping in general.

The menu of the Hut are:

Red with a faint glow- For when you are too hot to handle

A slightly transparent grey- SpOoOoky

Green with a black slit- Eye see what you did there

Silvery Fuzz- Twinsiessss (only works when taken by 2 people or more)

Grey Stuff- Its Delicious

Yellow Stuff - Sing Canary. Sing

An impossibly black stuff- No Black Lung for you.

They're sold for 7 silver each, and are advertised to have different flavors than before.
Rennock

Rennock is a well-off citizen of Glistening Peak, who attended tea time at the same time as James, while in disguise at the fanciest inn in town. James overheard his or her conversation, which involved complaints about certain regulations for the upcoming ball held in the Ruby Palace, as well as the ingratitude of his or her children, who were uninterested in attending to his or her embarrassment.

James, interjecting, engaged in polite conversation for a few minutes, perhaps to establish a rapport to rely upon later, or because James is a busybody who loves hot goss. The way things stand now, James may have to rely on a friendly face if the party ends up infiltrating the ball instead of their original plan of hitting the palace the day before.
Gonging Sphere

The Gonging Sphere is an unidentified object, spherical in form and made from brass with several etchings on it. It can rotate in the center of the sphere, allowing one to align the two halves. Once aligned, it emits a loud gong noise every six seconds.

James aligned the sphere when he entered the Rogue University of Skulkery, and immediately unaligned it. After their business at the university was done, James kept the sphere.

Artificer Knockout Gas

A terribly effective knockout gas developed by the artificers in Rearton, this compound is so common that anyone can make it with the right ingredients and instructions. It looks like a smokey vapor when deployed.

It's commonly used for pranks and the like, so the gas is relatively harmless. However, its wide accessibility (and lack of concern for its use by the Rearton guard) make it potentially harmful, such as in the case of the Ironpoint Warehouse robbery, where Shipton members were rendered unconscious and had their cargo stolen.

The applications of this gas are numerous, and many of them potentially nefarious. Hopefully this attack will cause some sort of regulation of this powerful knockout gas, if not a crackdown on its use.
Durgen

Durgen is a student at the Rogue University of Skulkery. He works in the cafeteria selling stuffs in the recent expansion of Crusty Judd original store, Crusty Judd's Fuzz Hut 2.

He applied to Sidexo and got the job of managing the new setup for Judd, and seems to do a thriving business considering how many of the student body use the stuff.
Officer Trinxa

Officer Trinxa is a Gnomish guard in Rearton. She was guarding the rubble that was Professor Trilmer's home after it had collapsed on itself, seemingly killing Trilmer. She and her parter Lorno were reluctant to answer the party's questions until James posed as Trilmer's nephew, coming for a visit. Lorno then went to get his captain, Captain Skraw, to question James.

While the party would later find out that Skraw is connected to the deaths of three individuals in the Thimblewoods as well as the recent Rogue disappearances (and possibly Trilmer's death, as well), it unknown if the Rearton gaurds are also involved in the conspiracy or if Skraw acted on his own.
Grimbleby the Insurance Wizard

Grimbleby is the wizard on retainer for Shipton. He is fond of experimenting with potions and offers an experimental potion of healing in the Shipton Shop.

For advanced Shipton contractors, Grimbleby sells live insurance. For a fee collected from each mission, Grimbleby can ensure that if you die on a mission you are brought back to life on Shipton.

He also purchases magical items, and may have some sort of medical training, as Miles the nice crewmate recommended Margie pay him a visit.
Gerald's Foot

Gerald's Foot is a city on the northeastern shore of Engria

## History

Gerald's Foot is believed to have been founded by survivors of a Tabaxi shipwreck. During the reign of Emperor Bursidae II of Rel Gerald's Foot was conquered and burned, losing much of its history, including any knowledge of who Gerald was or why their foot was important. The empire set up a their own government before quickly losing contact with the northern portions of Engria due to the great blizzard that ended Bursidae's line. The empire's government remained in place until around a year ago when a the Tabaxi Dominic D'Amore came to prominence. Not much business has been done with Gerald's Foot since then so his motives and personality are largely unknown.

## Shipton Connection

Zephyrus Philips is the former shipton representative. He only recently joined Shipton after living most of his life underground in a network of caves. The new leadership in Gerald's Foot decided they'd rather not have official ties with a large corporation and so ended his official status. He still lives in town though, and is happy to give unofficial help to Shipton crews.

## Missions

* Juice, Dave T. Barbarian, Margie McAdams, and Lime St. Blair were hired to deliver millet to the quartermaster of Gerald's Foot, Barnabas Trillium. When they arrived they found the city on lockdown due to several missing children's cases, with the primary rumored suspect being werewolves. The party was eventually let in to deliver the millet, but Barnabas wouldn't accept the millet until someone found his son. The party investigated and found a suspicious pool in the nearby cave system that had some hostile underwater creatures in it, and a tunnel leading to Genesio's house. Genesio had someone hiding in his house and the party assumed he was a target, not a coconspirator. Those same creatures attacked a nearby surfer as well, and the party nearly left it at this due to not being able to see or breathe underwater, but Margie's knack for hot goss revealed that a former ally, Genesio, was actually super shady! They followed him to a secret lair and discovered he was secretly a merfolk in disguise, and kidnapping children to turn into merfolk. The party saved the kids but Genesio got away. The party returned back to Shipton.
Lizard Pete

Lizard Pete is an unknown figure in the criminal underworld of Glistening Peak, Bol. The range of his criminal activities is not known, but he is involved in gambling, as Glyph is at least 600 gold in debt to him. Oddly charismatic and self-possessed, Lizard Pete is happy to offer a game to anyone, but only if he sets the odds. He has an interesting coin collection, some with three, four, or twenty sides.

James was able to find out from Oris that Lizard Pete can be found beyond a tunnel behind Hoooters, where he runs a secret and illegal gambling arena where outlawed events like lizard racing and Pixie wrestling can be found.

Obsessed with luck and games, Lizard Pete refused James's request to silver his weapons unless it took the form of a bet. He proposed several coin tosses in a row, each at a stake of 50 gold against him silvering James's weapons (sometimes offering to return James's lost money and sometimes not). Ultimately James would loose 150 gold, not get his weapons silvered, and nearly loose his arm in a bet, as that was Lizard Pete's next suggested bet.
Drow mage

This unnamed Drow mage led an ambush on the party in the streets of Frury in an attempt to either recapture Demir Cavan, the party's current captain, or to simply punish those associated him.

The mage had the ability to block out the sun with a blanket of darkness, allowing his troops to attack the party in broad daylight. Luckily Bo was able to cast Hideous Laughter on him, breaking his concentration and disbanding the spell. This led to the Drow's swift defeat due to their weakness of sunlight.

Jessie was the one who delivered the final blow to the mage, and after his death stole not only his magical items but also a spider tattoo from his body.

The party would learn later from Demir that the Drow have never forgotten nor forgiven his escape from their captivity, and have been harassing him like this ever since he won his freedom.
Cragreach

Cragreach is a city on the southeast coast of Izari's southern peninsula, roughly four weeks sail northeast of Shipton.

## History

Not much is known about this distant land other than that they have a mild distaste for all things magical.

Cragreach lies at the end of the Great Southern Road that stretches the length of the peninsula. To its north there are thick saltwater swamps along the coast. Inland from Cragreach there's nothing but rolling grassy hills for many miles until the crossroads city of Basinfall three weeks walk along the road, and eventually the larger city of Dreymore's Rest.

## Shipton Connection

Sadly Shipton's influence doesn't yet extend this far, and there isn't a Shipton representative here.

## Missions

* Juice, Plenet, Jessie, and James delivered a box of dangerous animals (later known to be inside of Spheres of Life Trapping) to Jennifer Garner of Dimblethwell. On the way to Dimblethwell from Cragreach, the party was nearly attacked by a huge invading party of orcs. While a few had to be dispatched, the majority did not notice the party and headed towards Cragreach, and Juice was able to send Pith to warn the city of the impending attack. On the way they somehow stumbled into the Feywilds, witnessed a saloon shootout, and recovered some Fey crystals from a cursed clearing that claimed the life of Gorblin the armored goblin, Fuzzers, and nearly took out Jessie. Finally they guided to a portal out of the Feywild guarded by a Satyr, who let them pass as long as they promised to go to the Pool of Forbidden Knowledge to learn how to fix corrupted black Fey Crystals. Only Jessie went to the Pool, the others choosing to finish the mission. Jennifer Garner used the dangerous animals to try to wipe out the nearby caves of Kobolds, and the party returned to Shipton without James. Juice was awarded a minor plaque on a statue of Anaitis for his part in warning the town of the invasion.
Dark Grey Stuff

Dark Grey Stuff is a magical fuzzy object sold by Durgen in the cafeteria of the Rogue University of Skulkery in Crusty Judd's Fuzz Hut 2, an expansion upon the original store. It is advertised as: "We got a tough guy over here."

One improvement upon this new batch of stuff is newly added flavor, but no one yet knows what that flavor is.

The stuff raises your AC by 6 points, but reduces your running speed by 15 feet.

Other colors include red, grey, green, purple, blue, crimson, orange, tan, white, tangerine, and light blue.
Deep Root Laboratories

Deep Root Laboratories is allegedly located in the Thimblewoods, though this may be a front to lure in unsuspecting artificers. Supposedly an offshoot of the Artificer Center of Technology, invitations written from one Renston Pike were found on three corpses found by the party in the Thimblewoods, victims of a Carrion Cralwer and several swarms of insects that were irritated by a series of vibrating rods deliberately placed there to enrage them.

The first note on the oldest corpse reads:

```
Hello Dear Sjergson Fjordak

```

```
    We here at the Artificer Center for Technology have been very impressed with your latest samples sent to us.  We wish to meet with you to discuss how we can work together to expand both our lines of invention.  Please sail to Bol, and make your way to our Deep Root Labratories located in the Thimblewoods.  If you are worried about the local rogue population, rest assured we are planning to handle it.  On the docks seek out one of our guards with a Hammer Sigil and they will guard you to the wormway.

```

```
    Sincerely, Renston Pike

```

Jeff found a pouch of anti-theft on this corpse in addition to the note. A second corpse nearby had this note:

```
Hello Dear Krelmer Gorn

```

```
    We here at the Artificer Center for Technology have been very impressed with your latest samples sent to us.  We wish to meet with you to discuss how we can work together to expand both our lines of invention.  Please sail to Bol, and make your way to our Deep Root Labratories located in the Thimblewoods.  If you are worried about the local rogue population, rest assured we are planning to handle it.  On the docks seek out one of our guards with a Hammer Sigil and they will guard you to the wormway.

```

```
    Sincerely, Renston Pike

```

Dave found a pair of Gnomish Gloves of Heating on this corpse in addition to the note.

Bo found a fresher corpse further away with a note that said:

```
Hello Dear Herwin Droot

```

```
    We here at the Artificer Center for Technology have been very impressed with your latest samples sent to us.  We wish to meet with you to discuss how we can work together to expand both our lines of invention.  Please sail to Bol, and make your way to our Deep Root Labratories located in the Thimblewoods.  Our continents recent rogue problem has been dealt with so please feel free to relax and enjoy Bol as you make your way towards our labratory.

```

```
    Sincerely, Renston Pike

```

When questioned on it, resident of the Thimblewoods Vasqar Fellows had never heard of the Deep Root Laboratories but had heard of the Artificer Center of Technology.

While it's possible the two are connected, the person known as Renston Pike could have used the good name of the Center of Technology to lure these victims here, though for what purpose is unknown. It is also possible that the Deep Root Laboratories could be a secret offshoot of the Center as well. Regardless, it's clear that Renston Pike (along with Captain Skraw of the Rearton gaurd) are responsible for the sudden population decrease in Rearton, as well as possibly the murder (?) of Professer Trilmer.
Lime St. Blair

Lime St. Blair is a curvy, golden dragonborn bard. Born from a wealthy family, she decided to strike out on her own to claim her destiny.

She seems to have a natural charisma, as on both missions she's gone on she's seemed to turn heads: the ranger apprentice Victoria on Fort Plonk is said to be nursing a crush since seeing her, and there was the surfing instructor Salomo that offered her some lessons in Gerald's Foot. More recently, assistant/spy Azeneth Solo was charmed by her.

Level-headed and cautious, she can still be swayed by an exceptionally pretty face, such as the face belonging Skylar Genevieve. She can also be swayed to irritation by a handsome face, such as one belonging to Captain Chazz Armstrong.

## Notable Actions

Lime uses her natural charisma to curry favor, often to great success. She manipulated Azeneth into being charmed, and made sure to leave him wanting more so on her next visit he'll be primed to get pumped for information.
Regan Tam

Regan Tam is a mysterious and shady trader and a longtime contact of Alistair. She is a human woman with brown hair and a stylish sense of dress. She commands a small number of goons and is generally distrusting, as she obviously deals with double-crossing criminals and cutthroats often.

Alistair asked the party to locate Regan and collect a certain item from her in exchange for a bag of holding, promising them that the party would be well rewarded for doing so. When they located her she refused to do business with the whole group, instead meeting on the middle of a bridge with Jeff to make the exchange.

Seemingly sensing no trick on the bag of holding, she demanded to know what the group had done to it. Two more goons popped up from hiding, as Regan had clearly been expecting a fight. She didn't believe the party when they said there was no trick, and turned the whole thing inside out, revealing a ton of gold and gems. She then told them to wait and gave them an identical chest to the first one, warning them not to open the first one.

Qorn mentioned that Alistair had hired her the previous week to go to a castle and take something while there was a party. The group realized that this party must have been the ball at the Ruby Palace based on the timing, meaning the item was probably something that had been in the treasury.

It's not known what was in the chest, save that it is something that Alistair has wanted for a long time. According to Qorn, he wasn't expecting to see his father find it so soon..."it" being something that will wipe out Bol. A heads up would have been good, huh Qorn?
Grey Stuff

Grey Stuff is a magical fuzzy object sold by Crusty Judd in his general store. It is advertised as: "It's delicious!", but it's unclear what the actual effect on someone is.

It's meant to be consumed orally, and its flavor is a mystery. Other Stuffs taste slightly fuzzy but like nothing at all -- so how would Grey Stuff taste? Like the other stuffs, the effects likely last until the person who has eaten it takes a short rest.

Other colors include red, blue, green, purple, White, tan, tangerine, light blue, orange, crimson, and dark grey.
Academy for Creation and Transformative Science

Located in Tome Spire, the Academy for Creation and Transformative Science is a famous institution and the main focal point of the city. Built in the center of the city with all roads leading towards it, the campus is directly beneath the famous mile high rotating white spire that the town is named for. The school mascot is the Gear Head.

Boasting a beautiful campus with a diverse student body dedicated to the visual arts and artificer sciences, the school is synonymous with innovation. You can find Gel, famous for his ability to find you a great book, in the school library, just below the offices of Dean Sorin Tinkept. Below the library are the underclassmen labs as wells the graduate labs much deeper down, where intense and advance experiments take place. The labs have the facility to allow students to access other planes, which resulted in the Mirror Plane being opened there accidentally, but the school was quick to find a solution in hiring Shipton, who outsourced the job to Qorn, the child wizard.
Kobolds

Kobolds are small draconian-esque creatures that live primarily in caves and mines as a close-knit group or clan. They speak an offshoot of Draconian, and are hostile to any outsiders.

They are small and resemble small red lizard people. So far there have been two groups encountered by members of Shipton: one in the mines of Dimblethwell (presumably wiped out by dangerous animals by one Jennifer Garner) and another in the mines of Everhearth.

The Kobolds of Everhearth have the ability to perform minor feats of alchemy, and primarily attack by hurling vials of alchemist's fire.

They have a weary but undefined relationship to the Weird, a mysterious being of fire that dwells within the mine. They seem to be afraid of it but not above making it larger by leaving fires burning for it to consume, and at one point attempted to feed it so many fires that it would explode and collapse the mine on itself, trapping the party inside.
Manny the Manticore

Manny the Manticore lived in the depths of the Ruby Palace, on a raised platform right next to the sewer runoff. Despite being locked deep under the ground without sunlight or much room to stretch his wings, Manny seemed to live a good, content life being fed the scraps, leftovers, refuse, and perhaps even guards, servants, or prisoners that lost their master's favor.

Dorel seems to enjoy threatening servants and guards with being fed to Manny, though it's unclear if anything like that had happened.

The party ended up killing Manny as they snuck into the palace to steal back Janxo's scepter, and killing him rather easily. It seems that all that eating and sleeping and not going out to hunt your own food made Manny slower and not quite able to take a hit like he might have used to, though he did render Jeff unconscious.
Pumberton

The individual known as "Pumberton" is a suspicious figure, as the group realized that he was watching them in Rearton on a mission, while posing as a potato vendor on the street. He was nondescript, wearing a cloak. Considering that the group had been followed before by other cloaked individuals, Jeff approached the vendor to investigate.

He introduced himself as Pumberton, and invited Jeff to take a bite out of a handsome potato. When Jeff did take a bite out of the potato (only doing so because Jeff doesn't possess a humanoid familiarity with food and what should and should not be eaten), he expressed incredulous shock and mild disgust at Jeff for eating the raw potato that he'd invited him to bite into seconds ago. When both Dave and Jeff questioned this, he hastily explained that "Would you look at \_\_? Take a bite out of that," and other variations of the phrase is a common colloquialism in Rearton and that he hadn't actually meant for Jeff to actually bite into it.

The group tested the phrase out several times, to various degrees of success and approval from the locals, so it appears that Pumberton was truthful about that at least. Despite his similar name, Pumberton is not the freshman rogue student Pumber, though it's possible they are affiliated. However it's still unknown why he was keeping tabs on the group, along with another cloaked figure that followed them to the wormway station.
Carrion Cralwer

Carrion Crawlers are huge worm like monsters that live in the Thimblewoods and presumably, by their name, eat corpses.

The party encountered one when they stepped off the path in the Thimblewoods, setting off a trap that they would later discover involved small vibrating rods hidden with in spore-producing mushrooms as well as one imbeded in the head of the Crawler itself. That would explain its erratic behavior, as well as why three corpses nearby the crawler had not been consumed.

The crawler attacked the party with the help of several swarms of pests, including wasps, spiders, centipedes and beetles. These creatures also seemed to be affected by the vibrating rods.

## Powers and abilities

The Crawler attacks with a tentacle with a long range, and can poison its victim when it its. The venom seems to create paralysis, and coupled with the spores produced in the Thimblewoods can result in its victims being more prone to the poison than normal.

It also has a nasty bite.
James's bell

Gifted and presumably enchanted by Qorn as thanks for assisting with his first mission, this bell was drawn by James from a bag of five other items. It's a brass bell with a wooden handle, and though it appears perfectly intact and unbroken, it does not ring. Jeff was able to determine that the bell is ringing, it is just ringing somewhere far away, for a person somewhere else. Jeff said something about James's data being stolen, but it didn't sound like a bad thing when he said it?

James was very excited by this and wanted to sew it on the inside of his clothes so he wouldn't lose it and it would ring constantly, but decided against it when everyone pointed out that the other person would probably go insane from hearing a bell so often.

It's unknown who is hearing the bell ring or why, but James seems to like the idea.
Justice "Juice" Lemonpeele

Justice Lemonpeele ("Juice" to his friends) is the younger brother of Jo Lemonpeele, and also a novice wizard. The two of many siblings, they were close in age and studied magic together. However Jo was more preoccupied with securing resources for their poor family than Juice tended to be, and as a result Juice is more carefree and less cautious than his sister.

He joined Shipton upon word of his sister's death in order to support his family and to see if his sister can be avenged. Upon hearing that Jo had fought a dragon and survived, he assumed the monster that killed her (a Feywild Snakebooty named Frangipane) must have been a colossal and fearsome monster, and vowed to end all Snake Bootys he encounters.

Fun-loving and adventurous, the appeal of a quest holds as much allure for Juice as a nice payday. Considering he was almost killed after jumping out a window (at ground level) badly, it remains to be seen if his wanderlust will not spell his doom, unlike his poor sister.

With a few more missions under his belt, as well as some wizard related breakthroughs, it seems like Juice is coming into his own. With the help of friends Bo and Dave (their group christened "Bo-dies" by Bo), Juice was able to transfer a spell of his sister, Jo, into his own spellbook.

He has also formed a bond with fellow Halfling wizard Plenet Bluegrass, and the pair of them came to an understanding in regards to their own spells: when one gets enough gold to copy a spell, the other will allow them to choose a spell they don't know from their spellbook. Sharing spells is potentially unheard of in wizard circles, but Juice has encountered traditional wizards during his brief deliveries to wizard colleges and prefers to go about things a different way.

## Notable moments

Juice once epically failed to jump out of a first floor window, harming himself in the process that he was rendered unconscious. This was just after Margie also failed to jump out of a different first floor window just seconds before. It would have been a really funny fantasy TikTok if someone had had the foresight to record it, and also if fantasy TikTok existed.

Juice was able to identify the source of magic in a clearing in the Feywilds, releasing the guardian of the treasure (fey crystals) of his curse of forever protecting them and killing anyone who entered the clearing. After destroying it the party was able to collect the crystals and eventually depart the Feywilds.

Juice prevented more danger and harm coming to the city of Cragreach by sending Pith, his and his sister's familiar, to warn them of an incoming Orc invasion while delivering dangerous animals in Izari. He was awarded a plaque on the statue of Anaitis, the sailor Juice sent his note via Pith to, and the man the city decided deserved most of the credit.
All-Terrain Dolly Emporium

The Fort Plonk All-Terrain Dolly Emporium is the only place that rents and sells every type of dolly to exist. Its specialty is all-terrain dollies, that allow the user to transport nearly anything anywhere.

Located in scenic Fort Plonk, they're your one stop shop for everything that rolls and carries heavy objects!
Gurn Astarlin

Gurn Astarlin is a distinguished Scientist and Researcher in Bol, as well as the founder of the Astarlin Wildlife Clinic. Currently Located in Deepmire, the purpose of the clinic seems to be geared towards generation solutions to Deepmire's rat infestation.

When the party delivered the wheel of cheese he ordered, he was in the middle of an experiment with a rat. He invited the group to watch as he poured a green liquid on a rat in a glass cage, but quickly fled when the experiment went wrong into a room to the side of the lab and locked the door. While the now giant rat ogre attacked the group, Gurn cowered in the locked room, refusing to open it even when Jeff phased through and tried to persuade him to open it.

When the rat was defeated, Gurn opened the door and came out, confused as to where the original rat had gotten to (Bo had adopted him). He signed for the cheese and explained he was only trying to figure out a solution to the rat problem by creating something that would "tame" the rats.
Engria

Engria is a continent a day's sail to the south of Shipton.

## History

The first recorded history of the area comes from the founding of the Rel Empire in the south of Engria roughly 5000 years ago. People spread from the verdant southern peninsula, now the semi-autonomous Trok, to the rest of the continent and then to the surrounding islands. Today most of the population is located on the coast as the interior of Engria is largely arid, most likely due to a curse bestowed when Chiton, third emperor of Rel angered Azthys.

Currently Rel occupies the southern half of the continent while the norther half is ungoverned outside cities.

## Settlements

* Fort Plonk
* Frury
* Gerald's Foot
* Mirrorfell
* Sunport
* Trok'A
* Trok'B

Notice of Closure

Unfortunately, the Dimblethwell Cave tours have been closed temporarily. A do-gooder by the name of Jennifer Garner has released all manner of beast inside the Dimblethwell caves. While the kobolds have most likely been defeated, we are currently in talks to keep her creatures in the cave. So come on back next fall and see the Dimblethwell Creature Cave. Twice the danger, triple the price!
Ebdeck

Ebdeck is a Dwarven assistent to Gurn Astarlin at the Astarlin Wildlife Clinic. He led the party through the manor that the Clinic calls home, down to a set of illuminated stairs that led to Astarlin's laboratory.

He said he had too much work to spare the time to walk them down, and then needlessly insulted Jeff. True, Jeff had "eaten" some truly rancid fish bait, but it's just simple manners not to comment on that kind of thing. Considering that manners are free and how well funded the clinic looks, Ebdeck really has no excuse.
Cult of Homuislit

A radical offshoot of the Temple of Homuislit, the followers of the cult follow the most extreme tenants of worship of the sun, including the belief that beings should only take sustenance from the sun, and that ingesting any type of food makes you unworthy.

They wear cloaks and masks to hide their identities. They are a nuisance to the town of Frury more than anything as they try to tamper with food, but things escalated when a group of them heard about Shipton delivering some wheat to Hama Verona, and laid an ambush to attack the party and destroy it. The cult was dispatched when they attacked, though they did manage to result in some of the wheat being damaged.

A masked and hooded member warned the party in advance, indicating there are those among their ranks that are not so devout and fanatical.
Bip

Bip runs the Tome. Spire Fuzz Hut. Not much is known about Bip, save that like a few self-identified individuals the group has met, Bip chose his or her own name.

Bip seems to have a greater sense of knowledge of product than other Fuzz Hut managers, able to suggest stuff to the group based on their needs.
Gowblin

Sister of Gorblin, Gowblin is actually the superior fighter of the family. Trained in treachery and sneakiness, Gowblin is often sought after as an assassin in the Goblin Community. She Dearly misses her Brother Gorblin since he set out into the world. Surely he knew how important her birthday was, he wouldn't have missed it intentionally.... Her mother Momblin has been doing a decent job keeping her anger in check but soon, she might have to investigate and find out where he is, or what happened to him.
Oleg

Oleg is a teenager of Fort Plonk that works as a butcher's apprentice. He was the boyfriend of Lucy, who was abducted from the woods by pixies on a trip to meet him to "pick apples", also known as making out in the local teen lingo.

However he stood her up, deciding he just didn't fell like meeting up with her. He said as much to Margie and Dave, who went on Lucy's behalf to teach him a lesson and to ask why he would do such a thing. Margie broke his skateboard and knocked meat products to the floor, and Dave joined in as well, though he had initially only gone to ask after Oleg rather than to intimidate him.

The butcher doesn't seem to like Oleg either, as she gave her approval to Margie and Dave on their way out.
Artificer School of Bol

The Artificer School of Bol (not its official name) is likely a bustling institution, as Bol has many artificers and has embraced techno-sorcery over traditional magic.

The School itself holds the patent on a type of knockout gas that is commonly used all over Bol. As such anyone who attends the school or learns from an artificer that attended the school can learn how to make it and use it, and most often it's used for harmless pranks.
Fuzzers

Fuzzers is a lion generated by Jessie's Rust Bag of Tricks.

Summoned to help Jessie defeat the armored goblin in the magical clearing in the Feywilds, Fuzzers defeated the goblin and fell prey to the magic that controlled the goblin. While he allowed James to remove the unconscious Jessie, he immediately moved to attack Juice when he stepped in the clearing.

Another battle ensued and Fuzzers was gored by Porker, though Juice was able to identify the source of the magic and destroy it with Plenet and James's help, sparing Porker the same fate.
Hilda Mae

Hilda Mae is a petit tabaxi woman, rumored to have been alive for centuries. She has served the royal family of Bol for years, as far back as Janxo can remember, and even before that.

She runs as shop called the Crystal Needle, where she can enchant clothing or armor to look like anything, temporarily or permanently. The price is high, with 100 gold covering a temporary enchantment and 2000 gold for a permanent one. She offers group discounts, however.

While the enchantment can make armor look like ordinary clothing, it can't mask the sound the moving metal makes, nor can she make the illusion unchanging, meaning that if the clothes get dirty after the enchantment they look and smell dirty as well.

Hilda Mae was thrilled to see Janxo again, and even pulled out a book of clothing patterns she had ready to make her. She enchanted clothing on everyone to make them look like Palace guards, and fashioned a red cloak for Jeff to have him to blend in.
Foam Dinosaurs (expired)

Foam dinosaurs come in three colors: red, green, and blue. Their color indicates what size they become when soaked in water: green dinosaurs are toy size, blue dinosaurs are the size of pool floaties, and red dinosaurs are life size.

However, when expired the dinosaurs explode or dissolve into the water after an hour or so. This happened at the Wizard College of Sunport, though the student body thought it was a really great prank and approved of it wholeheartedly.

These expired foam dinosaurs were the first thing that Foolix Jones, new Shipton captain, helped to deliver. Only later would the party find out that Foolix had actually purchased the dinosaurs with his own money on loan, in the hopes he could sell them for a profit to Flavio Poole, the leader of the Trok Independence Party.
Green with a Black Slit Stuff

Green with a Black Slit stuff is sold by the Everhearth Fuzz Hut, and seems to be a locally exclusive flavor.

Like the name implies, it is a green ball of fuzz with a black slit. It costs 7 silver and is advertised as "Eye see what you did there".

No one has consumed one of these stuffs yet, so it's not known what the effects are.

Other colors include red, grey, green, purple, white, tan, tangerine, light blue, orange, crimson, red with a faint glow, slightly transparent grey, silvery, yellow, impossibly black stuff, and dark grey.
Jaws McKenzie

Son of Paws McKenzie, Jaws is about 20 or 25 years younger than his father. He was recently brought aboard the Southern Wind X to fill in for Paws, who left his duties as First Mate to go clear up the confusing situation that is the recent upheaval of the existing power structure of the Kingdom of Bol in the Ruby Palace.

Jaws seems insecure, as when he first met the team he immediately compared his muscles to Dave's. Dave, ever humble, wasn't bothered by this and admitted he only focuses on his glamor muscles anyway. (Bo, who was very interested in this line of discussion, was disappointed to hear it just meant the muscle groups that look best when developed and not muscles that could enchant people or disguise themselves.) At just the right point for comedic timing, Jaw's disguise self spell ended and revealed that he didn't actually have many muscles to speak of: his true appearance is gangly and pale.

Still he seems to have decent ability as first mate, as he was presumably around to direct the crew to put out the fire that would erupt on deck during a strange encounter, and the ship didn't sink.
Jo Lemonpeele

## Background

Jo Lemonpeele is an twenty something year old Halfling Wizard. She had a cautious nature and is very slight, leading to the idea that a stiff wind could carry her away. She appears to come from a poor background as her clothing is worn or very repaired, likely all hand me downs.

## Notable Moments

During her very first Shipton mission she was targeted by a dragon known as the Bane of Beetle. After being knocked unconscious and taken into the air by the dragon, a sphere of impenetrable darkness hid them in the air before they fell from it and hit the ground behind the hill. By the time Dave T. Barbarian crested the hill, the dragon had vanished, heaving Dave's javelins lined up by her body along with a Grade A Common Healing Potion, that healed her.

On her last adventure, Jo was able to save Brisbane and Margie from enchantment by the Lady Violet Glitterswirl by instructing her familiar, Pith, to stealthily peck both adventurers until they came to. Both Margie and Brisbane were unfortunately severely pecked and injured, as breaking the enchantment took some time.

## Death

Just like on her first adventure, Jo seemed unluckily pegged as the weakest of the group and therefore on the receiving end of the focus of another monster. This time it was the transformed Frangipane, herself now a sort of hypnotized Snake Booty that seemed to feel no pain nor any recognition of her former captain Daria, who had just been rescued by the group.

Frangipane was able to knock her out with one 30 foot leap and her bite sealed Jo's fate. She passed away mid battle.

After Frangipane was defeated, the party spent some time digging a grave for both Jo and Frangipane. However remembering that Jo was carrying one of the valuable marionettes, they dug her up and also took her possessions and gold. They returned with Jo's body to Shipton, dividing up her gold among them. They handed over all taken funds to Peggy Shipton, as well as her belongings, to be sent home to her family as per her request.
Pote

The temporary steward representative for Shipton in the city of Rearton on the continent of Bol.

Native to Bol, Pote has lots of experience with the continent and lands. Resembling a librarian, Pote operates out of what appears to have been an old grocery or general store with a hastily hand painted sign over the storefront that reads "Pote's". The space is entirely empty save his desk in the middle of the room.

However being relatively new to such a large and bustling city means some of the more hidden nooks and crannies of Rearton are yet to be discovered.

Pote tried his best to get the crew to band together to carry out the mission Janxo laid out, despite it relying on keeping important information from the crew and expecting them to hike to a completely different location altogether with no real promise of a reward. For some reason Pote seems oddly devoted to Janxo, despite Janxo's personal responsibility in the incident that caused a rift between Bol and Shipton in the first place. Fed up, Bo huffed at Pote and attempted to intimidate him into showing some reason, but stopped short of actually threatening him. Dave, sensing his intent and uncharacteristically swept away, actually was the one to bring Pote's life into question, but quickly apologized.

Pote clearly wants Bol to prosper and ensuring the deliveries continue is his passion. He knows the land and has contacts throughout the continent so would be an invaluable aid towards information gathering and facilitating any future problems Shipton could encounter, but seems far more invested in being an advocate for Janxo Fetch than Shipton guards.

On their second mission to Rearton, Pote was being investigated by Grint, but still had time to attempt to introduce them to Professor Trilmer, though he had never met her before and didn't know if his position as temporary Shipton rep would hold much water. When a pair of rogues leapt from the professor's window, Fallacious asked Pote if there was a backup in case Trilmer wouldn't help with directions to the Rogue University of Skulkery, and Pote spent a lot of time hemming and hawing but ultimately saying no. Pote seems to love using disclaimers constantly, almost has if his motto is "underpromise..." and that's it.
Fluffy Wheat Cliffs

Protected by some sort of magic, the Fluffy wheat cliffs are home to the softest and most sought after wheat in all of Whittled Point. Using advanced magic, the cliffs are protected by arcane rules governing the area, and a collection of soft-seeking Scarecrows.

Surrounded by velvet ropes, these fields seem to not be too protected but anyone found to violate the rules and jump over the ropes are warned to suffer severe consequences. A sign posted states (misspellings included for accuracy):

Welcome to the Serpent Isles Whittled Point Fluffy Wheat Cliffs

This blessed field is home to the softest wheat known to all of Bol.  We do insist that you follow all rules of our scenic field or violators will be removed by our highly trained security team

Rules:

1-    Please enter using the appropiate queue, any attempts to cut the line will result in guilt, which comes in the form of exhaustion.

2-    Please, no fire.  This is a rare and beautiful field, and even the smallest flame could spark up the whole thing.  And it would easily spread for miles of farmland.  Only you can prevent Uncontrolled Burns.

3-    Be mindful of the rocks, Any attempts to cliffdive would result in very serious injury.

Also this region is remarkably dry despite being farmland so any form of fire seems rather dangerous as it could easily grow beyond anyones control.

Specifically, this wheat is often used to create magical furniture as its softness is rarely rivaled. Its magical properties often imbue into its item and in the case of Janxo's pillow, cause magical abilities to not be effective near the pillow itself.

Cleocatra chose this location to hide the pillow she stole from the Shipton crew, and by extension, Janxo. How she was able to enter the field of wheat without setting off the scarecrows is unknown, but perhaps her natural agility had something to do with it. When the last scarecrow was dispatched, she escaped along the cliffs easily, seemingly loosing all interest in the pillow.

The wheat also seems to be sought after by many the strange weirdo, as the mysterious 'R' guy of Rearton seemed to sense that James had taken some wheat from the field and asked for it by name. In return he simply said "Arlis of the whispering mind" in response and went on his way.
