The Dragonpriests

A mysterious organization that was active many centuries ago.

According to Francis their goal was to “unite the gods Bahamut and Tiamat and bring them into the mortal realms.”

The Sunken Citadel appears to formerly have been an enclave of theirs.

Tablets retrieved from Durnen and the Red Eyes refer to them several times.

They were interested in the Conduits of Life and Death
Zen

Mermaid of Lake Norka. Explainer of the entraced merpeople situation. Zeno's yoohoo. He said he'd come back to her someday-- will he?

## Biography

### Background

Lived a normal life with the rest of her taak, trading with the town of Janwald in harmony...until the day the merrows attacked.

### "Tidal Waves, They Rip Right Through Me" (1x9)

The party encountered Zen during their attempts to uncloud merfolk mesmerized by glowy nest holes deep within the taak. Zen explained that the weird purple light was what made normal merfolk into merrows.

### "And No Rivers and No Lakes Can Put the Fire Out" (1x10)

Zen and Zeno had a romantic make-out sesh behind a magical door with a sock on it underwater. According to Zeno, Zen tasted like tethis.

### "They Were Right When They Said We Were Breathing Underwater" (1x12)

Zen and Zeno met up again briefly at the water bazaar accords in the middle of Lake Norka. It was cute.

### "Sometimes I Think of Letting Go and Never Looking Back" (1x13)

"The Ballad of Lady Zen of the Lake" was released to great acclaim at the Green Mug.

### "Yo, Peep the Style and the Kids Checking for It" (1x33)

Zeno played the Ballad while the party camped out in fog near the lake and kept watch for manticores.

### "Hold Your Head High, Heavy Heart" (1x34)

This time, Zeno played the Ballad of Lady Zen in the Meat and Slop, adding a sea shanty-like flair to it. It brought down the house, though Zeno realized it was perhaps unwise to have played the song in Zen's hometown.
I'm Searching for a God

The 51st session.

Lyrics: "Carry Me Away" by Saint Louis

## Highlights

The party reaches level 8! A quiet night is spent at the inn next to the Coconut and the Pineapple, where Zeno cleans out his pennywhistle, Felegum sends Dronie out to build a sandcastle, Awk communes with his patron, and Set and Harry work on the ongoing medical problem of Harry's post-death eye injury. The next morning, Set wakes up in the pre-dawn, finds a temple to Lathander in the east side of the city and pledges himself in some manner to the Morninglord. Pastries are had. The group splits to prepare for the journey to Csipherus. Harry and Set enjoy a visit to Mo's apothecary to get eye poultices. Zeno and Lankin troll the caravansary for potential employers and find one in Pinjin, who is won over by Zeno's latest freestyle banger "The Black Dragon's Bane." The pair also learn of foes in the desert: the dead walking (do not touch), winged creatures dragging storms with them, and also wurms. Awk and Felegum cause light chaos in the market by causing lettuce to bolt and purchase a large supply of water barrels. They also acquire vegetables and a melon from a tabaxi who was saving the melon for his daughter. Awk becomes a camel to bring their purchases back to the inn. Items safely stowed in HFVNN, the party heads to the Tomato and Basil for a flatbread dinner date to seal the deal with Pinjin as caravan guards, which only goes a little sideways when Awk drops his pants in the establishment. It should take one week with Pinjin's caravan to reach Csipherus. They leave at dawn the next day.
'Cause We Could be Immortals

The 72nd session.

**Lyrics**: "Immortals" by Fall Out Boy

## Highlights

Battle concluded, the party's strategy turns toward escape. Zeno transforms into a giant mammoth with Tem on his back, picking off zombies and carving a way out for the party. Harry absconds with Hat-Broom Man's body, while Set impales the head on a stake and leaves a message in blood. Felegum calls down an ice storm for one last-ditch attempt to destroy the red spirit as it escapes and his furniture continues to aid the party as buildings collapse and zombies close in. Helli makes a hasty exit over some roofs, while Harry drags the body into a sewer. Zeno, Felegum, and Tem follow. Set gets stuck and nearly disintegrated as Ahkmatix appears, out for revenge.
Cube of Death and Rebirth

A cube about 5 inches on a side, originally found inside the Bag with No Holes. Very fragile and prone to fracturing. After fracturing the pieces invariably move towards one another with slight pressure until the cube re-forms. The fracture pattern appears to never repeat. While obviously magical in nature it has not been Identified and any utility beyond creative use of its properties is unknown.

Cube of Finding

History

Used by previous set of adventurers to find one another

Will pull itself together across planes by pulling itself to the nearest planer portal.
Innard

Co-proprietor of the Green Mug in Greenrest with his wife Layne. Branding on point. His specialties seem to run more toward main courses, though he'll occasionally dabble in pastry.

## Description

Male human (?) of middling age. A personable kind of dude.

## Biography

### Background

Competition has raged for years between the Green Mug and the Inn and the Out, but it seems like on the whole it's pretty friendly.

### "With You It's Never Good Enough" (1x6)

The party first met Innard, who was managing the evening shift on the ground floor of the Green Mug, when the party ordered dinner and Zeno asked how his beer was going in its fancy private rented room.

### "Let Your Waves Crash Down On Me" (1x7)

Layne, Innard, and Zeno had a taste-testing of Zeno's most recent brew versus one of Layne's.

### "I Used to be Love Drunk But Now I'm Hungover" (1x37)

Innard, Layne, and several others from Greenrest versed the party in the second beer battle, a much fancier affair than the first. The party did defeat them, though it was at great personal cost as Innard had offered to teach Set cooking the next morning. Both were miserable, but he did impart knowledge of breakfast rolls, porridge, and oatmeal to the desert scion.

## Relationships

### Layne

They balance each other out; she's more the firebrand and he's more the plan-it-out guy.
Aljahar

Six-armed catacomb ghostie boy with a penchant for manifestation.

## Description

Six arms, possibly more. Seems see-through but is not technically a ghost, though ghost-like things flow through him.

## Biography

### Background

Aljahar has been down in the catacombs below Csipherus so long that he doesn't even know that there's a city above him or what problems it faces. So little is known, but also like, that's pretty telling.

### "It's Haunting, How I Can't Seem to Find Myself Again" (1x57)

The party first encountered Aljahar (then unnamed) as the source (or sink, hard to say) of all the ghost-like things in one of the tunnels they were heading down. Harry was the first to see him and interact with him and his many, many arms. A negotiation seemed imminent.

### "Take Me Home, I'm Learning to Live With Ghosts" (1x58)

The negotiation produced mixed results: Harry, Helli, and Zeno managed to resist being pulled into Aljahar's manifestation dream worlds while the rest of the party didn't. Thanks to Zeno's countercharm, everyone got out okay. Harry continued to find out more about Aljahar, including his name and his total lack of understanding that he was anywhere near a ton of dead bodies. Deciding that probably all this was harmless, the party bid Aljahar all the best, saying they might return in the future, and continued on through the catacombs.
Lars

Farmer of vegetables. Antecedent and descendent of the Lars line.

## Description

Man with son. Farmerly. Both are named Lars. All of them have only ever been named Lars.

## Biography

### Background

Lars used to work on the fallow lands between Janwald and Greenrest and migrated up to the outskirts of Janwald when his land became no longer able to support crops. He worked on the planation (seemed universally pretty awful) until he was able to save enough to afford his own plot of land and has since been farming happily there.

### "These are Hard Times for Dreamers" (1x38)

Half the party met Lars (and Lars) while combing the small farming village for information about harvest spirits and local agricultural mythology. Set bought some vegetables from him and he was kind enough to throw in a rare sugarcane (which Set later gave to Ingrin).
Sovereign Dungeoneering Company

House Frey

**House Frey of the Crossing** is a **Major House of the Riverlands** sworn to **House Tully of Riverrun.** They are **Lords of the Crossing.** Their **Sigil** is a dark blue castle on a grey background. Their **Words** are *“We Stand Together”.* The current **Head of House** is **Lord Walder Frey.**

A relatively new but powerful House of the Riverlands having existed only six hundred years, the Freys are not a well regarded family not only in the Riverlands but across the **Eight Kingdoms** in general. Known for their greed in exacting tolls for passengers across their bridge, whilst this has brought them substantial wealth and power, they are looked down upon by most as upstarts and toll collectors.
Francis

Old historian of Greenrest. Proprietor of The Shop of Books and Mysterious Histories, antiquarian bookstore. Lowkey conduit fanboy. Very old. Sold homeboy Durnen a tablet. Knows a little about the dragonpriests, but not a lot. Set gave him the apple slice from the Tree of Life and Death in secret.

## Description

An old (human?) man who runs a book store.

## Biography

### Background

It seems like Francis has been in Greenrest for some time, building his stable of books and local mysteries and/or artefacts. His knowledge about the conduits appears to be from more of a folklore perspective, though at one point he did sell Durnen one of the tablets relating to them.

### "With You It's Never Good Enough" (1x6)

The party first heard of Francis at the Green Mug. Later, they visited him at his shop of books and mysterious histories, where he hobbled around and talked to them about the conduits, specifically their relationship to the dragonpriests, who had wanted to use them to “unite the gods Bahamut and Tiamat and bring them into the mortal realms.” Francis also said that cults had been trying to summon a new god to control life and death itself. Francis found the Bag with No Holes hilarious, like he'd heard of it before.

### "Let Your Waves Crash Down on Me" (1x7)

Set left the apple slice he got from the Tree of Life and Death with Francis, let him know that the healing apples were no longer going to be coming, and then ran away. Francis looked sad and like he wanted to say something more, but Set was fast.

### "Got a Sunset in My Veins" (1x14)

Most of the party (except Set) went off to see Francis again and discovered his selling one of the tablets to Durnen a while back. They also learned about the locus' importance to the six conduits from him as well.

### "I Used to be Love Drunk But Now I'm Hungover" (1x37)

Francis (here "Frances") signed up on the Green Mug beer battle team versus the party. Francis also seemed markedly different from the last time the party had encountered him, acting like a man much younger than his actual age though still looking very old. Set felt horrible about this.

## Relationships

### Set

Tried to do something nice and now is watching it come back to bite him.
Paripas

Large coastal city in the northern reaches of the continent. Paripas is a center of trade and home to many guilds, including a significant Mage's Guild. Based on clues from the Dragonpriest Tablets and Greenrest historian Francis the party suspects that a Conduit exists in catacombs under the city.

The city is substantially more habitable than its icy surroundings due to a magic field maintained by the Mage's Guild.

## Leads

* Milto has asked us to help him retrieve his property from a magical vault operated by the Mage's Guild.

## About

### Government

Paripas has a strong municipal government that operates a town guard and licenses Guild activities.

### Notable inhabitants

* Sylla Plumeria - Daughter of the Magister of the Mage's Guild. Milto's forbidden love. The party has a note for her, from Milto.
* Letitia - Mage of some renown, skilled in Necromancy and Transmutation with a specialization in Resurrection. Former friend of Milto, formed one of the seals on his vault and probably holds the key. Can contact Milto via magic.
* Sonard - Dwarf wizard that visited Greenrest before the SDC. Killed by Durnen.
* Linda Rueburn - half-elf proprietor of the inn, the Axe of Fire
* Glorg - Firbolg proprietor
* Suz - Dwarven merchant of the Crossed Staves

### Notable Locations

* The Axe of Fire
* The Slippery Penguin
* The Crossed Staves
* Mage's Tower
* The Spicy Rooster
* The Scaled Dragon, upscale inn with crystal ball
Shatterspike

Longsword of fable carried by Zeno. Taken from the body of an adventurer from Greenrest. Jagged edge. It slices, it dices, it makes julienne fries...of other people's weapons. Currently the only way to open the Bag with No Holes.

Probably more things, maybe a plus, but it's not my weapon so \*sips tea\*.
Yuval

Member of the red-eye tribe. Reputed to be a merdude, but when the party met him he was made of stone. Cause of aggressive merrows in the taak. Wielder of water tendrils. Possible maker of the weird spire islands. Driven off from Guara in the infamous cart battle with ally/boss Durnen and an elven archer.

## Description

Of all the Red Eyes, we probably know the least about what this dude looks like. Not because we haven't see him, but because it seems like he has the power to shift forms or in some way alter himself. He (even making a guess here on gender) presented to the Lake Norka taak as a merman, but the party later encountered him wearing stone skin in Guara.

## Biography

### Background

Very little is known. At some point he came to the taak and began attacking boats crossing a certain distance into Lake Norka. Whether his motives in doing this were to incite conflict betwen the merfolk and the land-dwellers or to get both sides to stay away from whatever he was doing (perhaps related to the mysterious spires on surrounding islands) is unknown.

### "Let Your Waves Crash Down on Me" (1x7)

The party ran into some of Yuval's handiwork, vicious water tendrils, as they were exploring Lake Norka. Their boat, the Wind's Pride, was ultimately a casualty.

### "And No Rivers and No Lakes Can Put the Fire Out" (1x10)

Zen said that a strange visitor by the name of Yuval had been by many moons ago. He had the ability to control water, looked like one of the merfolk, and had red eyes. A while after his visit the strange lights had appeared in the nest's holes, but it seemed uncertain whether these were directly connected. M'Shel confirmed this, saying that tensions between the various lake communities were present even before Yuval had come along.

### "Nothing Can Fly With This Broken Wing" (1x11)

The party first encountered Yuval (see also "Stone Dude") at the Battle of Guara, fighting alongside Savas and Durnen as well as a host of other monster allies. This time he was landborne and covered in stone. After defeat at Guara, he dragged Durnen's body away into the forests while Felegum and Zeno gave chase, but he was too fast for 'em. Before dashing off, Yuval did indeed demonstrate his stone spire skills, possibly connecting him to the strange islands in the lake, both around the party and on the cart.

## Relationships

### Durnen

They are definitely working together (both Red Eyes) but the how and why of it is unclear. Ultimate power? Possibly.
The Calendar

Thieves' guild, Csipherus-based. Currently engaged in guerilla warfare versus the Red Eyes and draconian wonder twins, possibly the only reason the city is still standing. May not be strictly good, but definitely angry enough to fight.

## History

### Pre-Campaign

Set joined the Calendar after things started going south in Csipherus and it got harder and harder for him to find food. It's unclear what he had to do to join it or whether the people who stole his stolen food were from the Calendar themselves, but pretty much, he was good enough at pickpocketing and keeping watch that the group took notice of him and recruited him. Artemis Kalends was his primary teacher, advocate, and friend.

### "Well, I've Lost It All, I'm Just a Silhouette" (1x54)

The party met some members of the Calendar in Csipherus when Zeno attempted to steal some of their liquor or water stores in a bar as Set was leading the group to a known hideout. They were taken down to the catacombs, the Calendar's headquarters, where they met the Keeper, a person high up in the organization, who traded information with them about what was going on in the city.

## Features

### Tattoo

Each initiated member of the Calendar has a tattoo on their left shoulder that is a celestial model. In the center is a white or open circle representing the sun and then, depending on the member's deeds, a varying number of concentric circles representing the orbits of planets, as well as moons, asteroids, and other objects in space. The full meaning of the tattoos remains unclear, but a good metric is that the more stuff someone has, the more they've done for the organization/the more important they are.

For reference, the Keeper has seven rings of planets and celestial objects and Set has two.
Meepo

Kobold caretaker of the dragon Calcryx at the Sunken Citadel. Fell to his death after being thrown into a glowing pit by a hobgoblin and Awk failing to catch him. His death spurred Set to enter wing mode for the first time and was also the catalyst for Set's guardianship of Kheryph.

## Description

Kobold male, put-upon substitute dragon parent. Currently deceased, his skeleton hangs out below the Tree of Life and Death in the Grove.

## Biography

### Background

Meepo was Calcryx's minder, perhaps even stand-in parent, in the kobold clan and seemed to deeply care for the dragon. When Calcryx was stolen by the goblins at Durnen's behest, Meepo was distraught. His entire job had been to raise her. He also appeared to be cast out or poorly treated by his clan, perhaps for his allowing the dragon to be taken from him.

### "A Little Bit of Loneliness, a Little Bit of Disregard" (1x2)

The party encountered Meepo crying by his bedroll in the Sunken Citadel. He shared his tale of woe re: losing Calcryx and accompanied the party, assuming that they were investigating in order to return the dragon to him. He was delighted.

### "All the Ghosts that Are Never Gonna Catch Me" (1x3)

For a time, Meepo accompanied the party on their trek through the citadel's halls. This proved challenging at times, but luckily through magic and food bribery they were able to navigate Meepo past the more lethal obstacles. Things got briefly dicey when the group began to venture into goblin territory, and Meepo was sent back to his bedroll for his own safety as the party headed to the surface to sleep.

### "And Even Though I Tried, It All Fell Apart" (1x4)

Set caught a lizard with the intent of hoodwinking Meepo into believing it was a new baby dragon later. After collecting Meepo and venturing once more into goblin territory, the party got into a fight with Durnen while he wore the body of a hobgoblin. Somewhere in the fracas, Meepo was attacked by supporting goblins and thrown into the pit. Awk made an attempt to grab him and failed, his utter lack of bear athletics condemning an innocent kobold to death by too much falling. By the time the party climbed down the pit to the garden levels below, Meepo's body had already vanished, absorbed by the ground.

### "When There's Nothing Left to Burn" (1x5)

Set had a lot of feelings when Meepo was reanimated as a grove zombie to fight alongside Durnen.

### "With You It's Never Good Enough" (1x6)

After some shenanigans involving Awk treachery, the bodies of Meepo, Sonard, and Sir Bradford were at last given a proper burial beneath the Tree of Life and Death.

## Biography

### Background

Also a scholarship student, Klein works at the front desk of the Tower with Qoivula as part of her work-study job duties.

### "Super Stars Sucked into the Supermassive" (1x21)

The party encountered Klein with Qoivula at the front desk of the Tower playing with a piece of parchment. She and Qoivula offered to teach Set how to play the game and he was a bit bad at it. He liked making wizard friends, though.
Egonia

Greenrest

The town where it all began. Also known as Appleton because of its two magical apples-- one that healed and one that killed-- both brought it to by local goblins. Miriam the mayor hired the party to figure out where three other missing adventurers had gone, including her husband, the captain of the guard.

Within a day's walk to the north is the Sunken Citadel and Lake Norka. About two weeks travel to the northwest is the city of Paripas.

## Notable inhabitants

* Miriam, Mayor and general store proprietor
* Sir Bradford, Captain of the Guard (deceased)
* Francis, Town Historian
* Layne & Innard, owners of the Green Mug
* Garis, dwarf overlord of the stables and town carpenter. Made Awk an Ironwood breastplate.
* Karakas, town tracker (deceased)
* Thieves, unnamed gentlemen that Helli fenced some weapons to.
* Grug, the Half-Orc proprietor of the Inn and the Out

## First Encounters

Oddhouse Phatom also aired in US on Cartoon Network. In 2004, Cartoon Network/Turner launched Boomerang USA. This led to the creation of more Boomerang channels globally.
Glorg

Firbolg proprietor of a jewelry store. Wholesome. One of Felegum's Slippery Penguin drinking buddies. Hooked Helli up with a sweet sapphire. Nicest person in Paripas, change my mind. Did you know he also brews his own beer as a hobby? Unparalleled, we stan a legend.

## Description

Firbolg jeweler in Paripas, an older gentleman who speaks slowly but is kind.

## Biography

### Background

Not much is known about Glorg besides his keen eye and interest for gems both magical and nonmagical. He does brew beer as a hobby and has discussed it with Zeno.

### "Still, the Second Hand Will Catch Us" (1x18)

The party first met Glorg while trying to offload their soul crystal from the well outside Borne. Glorg was also kind enough to inform the party that most merchants in Paripas were not allowed to trade in the larger varieties of pearls, explaining that the Mage's Guild would just swoop in and confiscate them. Glorg appraised and purchased the soulstone, sold Helli a sapphire, and chatted for a bit about Letitia as he sold Felegum a few more regular-sized pearls for spell use. Felegum invited Glorg to the Slippery Penguin, a fancy bar, later that night and he showed up. It was actually really nice.

### "I've Been Trying to Fix My Pride But That Shit's Broken" (1x19)

Zeno bought some revivify diamonds from Glorg and the firbolg let slip that the Guild had some use for the massive pearls but was unable to say exactly what it was.

### "Thanks for the Memories" (1x22)

Zeno apparently liked Glorg so much that he named the first zombie he ever raised (Glorc) in the firbolg's honor.

### "I Fall Upon the Earth, I Call Upon the Air" (1x31)

At the Paripas docks, Zeno met up with Glorg again and the two chatted about shipping industry delays out of a certain sad desert city and also bonded over brewing beer.

## Relationships

### Felegum

literal drinking buddies! Felegum made a magic friend!

### Helli

also seemed like those two had a good relationship
Afterlife, Oh My God

The 77th session.

**Lyrics:** "Afterlife" by Arcade Fire

## Highlights

Bad things continue to happen. Harry and Lankin go to the warehouse and receive another distress signal from one of the dragons as well as a message from Paripas. Discussions are had about Helli's welfare and the legs. Zeno discovers a potential explosive and Tem expresses herself. Set receives a sad message from Lathander. The dome descends. The party rests.
Karakas

Greenrest's best tracker. Of the ill-fated Sir Bradford's expedition to the sunken citadel at the beginning, he was presumably responsible for helping Team Bradford meet Durnen.

## Biography

### Background

Karakas, Sir Bradford, and Sonard set out to explore the sunken citadel. Initially, it seemed like they wanted to explore how the goblins were coming up with these apples that could cure any disease. Given that Karakas had a map on him of the citadel, maybe they knew more about its connection to the dragonpriests or had researched more (via Francis?) about its history than previously thought. Karakas was instrumental to getting the group to the citadel safely as he was the best tracker in Greenrest. It is not known why his body was kept separate from Sonard's and Sir Bradford's; perhaps he died earlier, perhaps they were all destined to be Calcryx food, or perhaps the rats just really wanted him.

### "A Little Bit of Loneliness, a Little Bit of Disregard" (1x2)

Karakas (then unnamed) came up in conversation with Miriam as the town's best tracker.

### "All the Ghosts that are Never Gonna Catch Me" (1x3)

First named appearance. Awk transformed into a tiny mouse, crawled through some pipes, and then brought back Karakas' signet ring. His body was lying on a pile of bodies being guarded by giant rats. Different sections of the citadel tended to have different groups in charge of them; this appeared to be the giant rat section. Awk also found some papers on Karakas that depicted the citadel, confirming for the party that they were indeed on the right track, or at least that someone besides Durnen had an idea of what this place looked like.

## Relationships

He lived in Greenrest, but we do not know much beyond that. Does someone still have his signet ring or did that go back to Miriam?
Turning Saints in the Sea

The 66th session.

**Lyrics**: "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers

## Highlights

Things look bad for the party: the Red Eyes close in from behind them while a wall of fire seals their exit. A few fall unconscious, unable to be immediately brought back due to a lack of healing spells (see: the torture chamber rescue effort). Set heals a fallen Zeno before Ahkmatix can repurpose his body and then runs into the fray as a decoy. Zeno Dimension Doors himself and Felegum to safety, and the pair begin the work of evacuating the rest of the party. Lankin and the Butcher have an epic standoff as Harry leaps through fire, carrying an unconscious and rapidly dying Kalends with him. Tem fights a hole through the rock wall behind the fire wall, and Helli chucks her music box into the battleground to buy everyone some time.

A variety of tragedies befall the party, including but not limited to: Set being power-stunned and alone, the insect plague making everyone's life difficult, numerous fireballs, Durnen endlessly raising the dead, and the music box ensnaring friendly forces. Thanks to some extreme luck and incredible elfin skill, the party breaks out of the pyramid and begins a rush for safety.
It's Haunting How I Can't Seem to Find Myself Again

The 57th session.

**Lyrics**: "Crawling" by Linkin Park

## Highlights

Zeno asks about Set's parents possibly being in the library temple settlement. Set takes issue. The two team up to try to get Zeno some action, but are ultimately unsuccessful without alcohol. Felegum learns more about the history of Csipherus, how it was founded by an adventuring party: one person channeled sun gods, another was a legendary fighter, another human, a part human who could manifest wings, and an elf who outlived them all. The central pyramid commemorates them. The party takes to the catacombs, agreeing to leave the Thoth bastion alone for now to help keep it safe. After some chicanery with spookiness, the party happens upon a six-armed spectral figure who seems to be the source of all the ghosts in the catacombs they've run into.
The Sunken Citadel

Deeply creepy place outside of Greenrest. Housed the goblin operation responsible for the twin apples of life and death. Formerly home to dragonpriests and many, many skeletons and unhappy doors.

Basement contains the Grove, a garden that was the site of one of Durnen's conduits.

### Notable inhabitants:

* Yustryle & the Kobolds
* Meepo, kobold caretaker of Calcryx (deceased)
* Calcryx, young dragon
* Grennel & the Goblins

## First Encounters

* Rats: Both as a swarm and of the ROUS variety.
* Skeletons: Very spooky.
* Hobgoblins: Like goblins but bigger and meaner. Fall down holes more easily than Zeno.
* Durnen: The BBEG? Appeared as a red-eyed hobgoblin with a deep, grating voice. When the hobgoblin "gave up the ghost", that ghost was red and flew off laughing.
Cheri

Captain of *The Room Where the Sausage Is Made*. 1000% over you insulting her ship. Too bamf for surnames, you already know who she is.

## Description

Dark-skinned elven captain on Lake Norka.

## Biography

### Background

Cheri is one of the major captains of Lake Norka, or so one assumes given that her ship was used as the diplomatic vessel for water bazaar negotiations.

### "They Were Right When They Said We Were Breathing Underwater" (1x12)

Cheri was one of the two captains who set sail with the party out into the lake to meet with the merfolk. Harry made fun of the name of her ship and she sent him to the back of the boat. Harry was not feeling very well at the back and tried to creep back up, but Cheri saw him and yelled at him to stay where he was. During negotiations, Cheri approved of the water bazaar.

### "Like Violence, You Have Me" (1x39)

Cheri made a brief appearance calling out orders to her crew on the Janwald docks.
If I Stumble, They're Gonna Eat Me Alive

The 59th session.

**Lyrics**: "Help I'm Alive" by Metric

## Highlights

The party ventures into the halls beyond Aljahar's chamber, taking the rightward path towards sewage and (hopefully) the captives. They find a rope wrapped around a log and hanging down the hallway, then wade through the slime, getting stuck and fighting two mucks of various sizes before a massive copper coin threatens to crush them. Escaping the coin down the water-logged corridor beyond, they appear to return to "normal" size after falling down a waterfall, in a room familiar to Harry.
Looks Like You Found a Way

The 67th session.

**Lyrics**: "A Million Miles" by Lostprophets

## Highlights

The party exits, pursued by the undead. To make matters worse, the Red Eyes join the chase, accelerating the party's need to find shelter. Unfortunately, due to some--ah-- less steatly members, the search is thwarted multiple times. Kalends eventually has an idea and directs the party to a sewer breakroom where they hole up and rest. Set and Helli discuss Harry's newly glowing tattoos and the state of Csipherus, leading to some inter-rogue tension. Kalends breaks in to remind Set not to be a martyr. In the morning, Zeno gets a new pair of shoes, Harry summons his acrobats, and Kalends expresses his absolute faith in Set to find a Calendar meeting spot. Two smaller groups are dispatched to do just that.
Jacquard

Fine silk and clothing merchant in Tormani. Will tell you when that look is not on point and when it is. Secretly thinks you dress like you came from 223. Buy the silk.

## Description

Tormani tailor and clothier, potentially magical.

## Biography

### Background

He sells silks and fine linens. Apparently he also paid well to be able to set up his stall so close to the teleportation circle.

### "I'm a Man of Three Fears" (1x50)

The party first encountered Jacquard after stepping off the teleportation circle in Tormani and realizing the difference in climate. Most party members were able to acquire fresh threads with relative ease, with notable standouts being Zeno (very favorable, they vibe), Set (unfavorable, aesthetic clash), and Awk (also no taste, but for different, lime green reasons). He provided helpful information both about a good bar (the Pineapple and the Coconut) and a place to get nice new weapons. He seemed to be more about the aesthetic and making people look good rather than in it for the money.
Savas

The Phoenix. Red Eye. Sworn enemy of Harry after all those arrows.

## Description

Male elf archer of some flavor. Red-eyed, as you might imagine.

## Biography

### Background

Little known here, Savas was the third addition to the Red Eyed crew (and possibly the newest member of their band if Zuul is a solo operator).

### "Nothing Can Fly With This Broken Wing" (1x11)

The party first encountered Savas during the showdown at Guara. Harry was the main recipient of many of his flaming arrows and made it his personal mission to find revenge. When Awk became a spectral dragon and sealed his warlock pact, decimating the town and earning the party the cart, Savas and Yuval fled into the woods. Felegum Messaged Savas as he fled, encouraging the elf that the dragon wouldn't eat him if he just stopped and talked, but alas, this was not persuasive enough.

### "Well, I've Lost It All, I'm Just a Silhouette" (1x54)

The Keeper referred to him as "Savas the Phoenix", possibly due to the fiery nature of his arrows.

## Relationships

### Durnen

Something about this guy is compelling for so many people to be working with him
Oaurrgr

The nicest halfling lady in Egonia. Older, pushes a cart through the Loving Lettuce to deliver breakfast and evening tea services. Set has the worst luck pronouncing her name correctly.

## Description

Older halfling lady, a bit on the frail side. Very kind.

## Biography

### Background

Oaurrgr works at the halfling-run capsule hotel in Egonia, the Loving Lettuce.

### "And I Go Searching Through Reflections for Your Outline" (1x46)

After their late night gambling sesh, the party stumbled on the Loving Lettuce when all the other inns around had closed down for the night. Oaurrgr came by just before they went to bed, offering the party their choice of teas from her trolley and then wheeling away. The next morning, Set introduced himself and asked if she knew anyone who might be able to look after his lizard for him for a week. Ultimately, Set left Kheryph in her care as the party went back to explore the mines again. There was a terrarium that the halflings had by the oven that they hadn't used for a while, so Set paid for a week of lizard care and added a tip because Oaurrgr was nice and Kheryph deserved it (and also Set wanted to eventually learn a biscuit recipe from her). Later, Awk attempted to trade his opium to Oaurrgr for pipeweed and she said that they'd probably get in a shipment of that next week if he wanted to trade then.

### "You Were the Last Good Thing About This Part of Town" (1x49)

Set retrieved Kheryph from Oaurrgr, who had taught the lizard a new trick! He could now flare his neck frills on command for the low, low price of a cave slug. Set was delighted and tried to tip her, but she refused, insisting that he spread the word about the inn instead if he wanted to do something extra. Set agreed. He also talked with Oaurrgr about the excellent breakfast rolls they'd had that morning and she told him that the secret was mushroom flour. Set called Awk down to learn more about mushrooms, and Oaurrgr was willing to impart some to Awk.

## Relationships

### Kheryph

honestly, she taught him more in less than a week than Set has managed to do in literal months
Bag with No Holes

A bag with, as it says, no holes. Contains things regardless. Somehow larger on the inside. Owned by Zeno, bought from the Goblin Shopping Network. People made fun of him for buying it and then insisted we never put holes in it. Playing with it has become Zeno's favorite travel pastime. Eventually opened by Zeno with Shatterspike (and an assist from Felegum). They managed to snag its contents before it promptly resealed itself.

### Currently Inside

* Chip's haunted eyeballs
* Helli's test shield
* some lake plates

### Formerly Inside

* Light of Mystra, aka the glow dodeca
* Death and Rebirth Cube
* A small pebble (it was a gag)

Sentient being named HFVNN. Hails from the IKEA plane[ref needed]. Can be filled with up to 100 ft^3 of material. Hungry and wants your stuff. Enjoys holding things but can be convinced to regurgitate. If befriended he will open and close for you. Items inside weight 1/1000 their weight on the material plane.
All of This Stress Gave Me Something to Write on

The 56th session.

**Lyrics**: "Nobody's Listening" by Linkin Park

## Highlights

The party sets out from the cafe to scope out the central pyramid and finds it overrun by excavation zombies and also Yuval, the massive stone Red Eyes. Seeing no direct way in without blowing their cover and putting their rescue mission at risk, the group opts to explore other methods for getting to the catacombs below the city, specifically finding another entrance. Set leads them to a temple of Thoth that looks promising and half the party investigates that while the other half checks a basement. After getting some food from the mysterious basement storage space, the group unlocks a door at the bottom of the temple and finds a large settlement of Csipherians living and growing their own food under the temple. Their leader, Elissance, invites the group to stay for dinner and gives them more background on the crisis, as well as what tunnels might be their best bet.
Hello There, the Angel from My Nightmare

The 55th session.

**Lyrics:** "I Miss You" by Blink 182

## Highlights

The Calendar encourages the group to check out the pyramid for themselves and the two parties part ways. Set takes the group to a well in a city square nearby a cafe. The group notices some of the zombies holding red tubes, feels like this is sus, and tries to follow them without blowing their cover. They encounter more red-tube zombies but can't determine the purpose of the tubing. Zeno is thrilled with all the dead bodies in the square and Lankin and Helli work on getting water. It is loud and attracts many zombies, forcing the group to take shelter in the cafe and wait it out. Set shares about his parents, Ojutai's messages, and his dream girl. The zombies gather at the water pump and Ahkmatix comes during the night to check out the disturbance. Helli spots a scavenger in the evening as well, meaning that there are possibly more people than just the Calendar and the Red Eyes in the city.
Elissance

Leader of the Thoth temple mini-city. Knows you stole the sausages. Please, think of the children.

## Description

Old, human woman. Still a bamf, possibly affiliated with Thoth somehow.

## Biography

### Background

Little is known. Again, suspicion that she worked on Thoth's behalf before; she's mentioned that the god understands them clearing out some of the libraries to house refugees from the world above, though it pained her and others to do so. A good egg.

### "All of This Pain Gave Me Something to Write on" (1x56)

The group was brought to Elissance after lockpicking their way into the Thoth temple stronghold. She provided more details about how there were other strongholds throughout the city but that many of them, chattier, fell silent, presumably found by the Red Eyes and Ojutai. The Thoth group's prerogative has been silence, perhaps the key to their survival, as well as their divine casters helping them to grow their own food without the sun. She saw that Set had stolen a bunch of sausages and asked him to return them, as they were meant for the solstice celebrations and the children of the settlement had been so excited for them.

### "It's Haunting How I Can't Seem to Find Myself Again" (1x57)

Set gave his goblin tea to Elissance for the kids to enjoy with the sugar, and she showed the party to the catacomb entrance and bade them good luck. She invited the group to come back and visit, citing that the bastion's scroungers, a scavenging force, were able to come and go one to two times a month without blowing the settlement's cover.

## Relationships

### Thoth Library Stronghold

Ostensibly the leader of the last bastion of Csipherians left, besides the Calendar.
Leota Cone

Department of Necromancy. Professional reanimator at college of magic in Paripas. Zeno and Set sold the location of Chip's well to her so that she could use it to grow more soul crystals for use in her work there. Resurrected a dog for a young family. Seems good.

## Biography

### Background

Necromancer of some renown at the Paripas Mage's Guild, working in the Tower.

### "Superstars Sucked into the Super Massive" (1x21)

Zeno and Set met Leota in her office after she performed a successful resurrection on a family's pet dog. They showed her the soul crystal fragments and Zeno negotiated for the price of the location of the well. Leota was interested in possibly using it to grow her own crystals, which would be useful in her line of work. A price was agreed upon and she wrote Set and Zeno a writ.

## Relationships

It feels like she would know Letitia, but so far unconfirmed.
Tem-ho-ja-mak

Tem-ho-ja-mak Arkris is a gold dragonborn paladin traveling with the Sovereign Dungeoneering company. Member of a secret conduit-guarding order, disliked by both other party lizards so far, strongly anti-Tiamat and anti-zombie. Is she the true savior of Csipherus sent from distant lands, or is she her order's black sheep sent on a mission too dire for her to handle? Only time and some divine smiting will tell.
