D24.357 Right Greave of Khumin

-
A cuboid area with a 300x300ft base of 500ft height, part of the colossal statue of Khumin, the Second Lord of Craagveald, sculpted from the ore of bismuth and chalcedony.

The underside of the right greave bears a flight of sculpted stairs that are devoid of life except dried blood of various colours.

One learned in the arts of blood may identify them as the blood of elves and bats.

At the top of the greave lies the Old Guard Firulin, who has set up camp on a precarious edge of the top of the Greave where he hunts bats with his magic boomerang, butchers them with an adamantium cleaver and roasts them. 

Should one be an elf, be will madly ambush them upon catching their scent, unless heavily masked by other aromas or by magic.

Otherwise, he will offer to trade roasted bats and chunks of gemstones for flasks of beer.

Firuli insane, mute and cannot speak, and reading his mind will return gibberish.

Casting a grand restoration spell will restore his sanity, but he will immediately begin screaming loudly for a few seconds before disappearing into thin air.

Hidden in his camp is an ornate adamantine scroll case that contains the location of Grihdmin the Fifth Lord of Craagveald's True Tomb.

#Lore24 Complete! Congratulations to all who made it through! It was an extremely productive challenge which I think I will continue for many years to come! Let's go #Lore25 !!  Here are the top 10 starred lore fragments. I plan to draw some art of them tomorrow. Interestingly, most of them were at the start, where many were very motivated. But alas, things died down past the 1st quarter but I'm glad for my Crimson Nest and Mistberry which made it in to top 10 (albeit many others had at least 2 stars). A total of 125 stars were lit in the world of #Calamupa .

L24.1 Chameleon Riders of Yrhenu

-
Image
Skilled riders of nimble Chameleons capable of adhereing the the stalks and leaves of Qelerian plants.  They wield large halberds forged from Bramber, sheperd and reap the herds of Frogstock that make the same plants their pasture. While some prefer a bucolic life of herding Frogstock in groups of three to five, there are a few in who build a much greater kinship with their Chamelons, and are capable of blending into the environment. These master riders seek larger prey from hunting Mudtoads at the lower strata of the Stalks.

D24.185 Prison of the Lothgem

-
Lothgem, a hideous uncut spinel the size of a fist levitating above a tarnished silver pedestal, surrounded by walls made of mosaics of precious jewels depicting praying Dwarven monks.  It is dull to the point it darkens the light about it. When held, it repels all manner of jewels, crystals and precious stones, and may even repel magical precious stones when on a 1 of a 1d6 roll.  The Lothgem is sentient but reticent, and utterly despises all creatures who wear any sort of precious jewelry, and may forcefully repel such creatures adornments depending on its whims. Conversely, it likes the company of tarnished, rusty or scratched stones and may decide to accompany those adorned by them.
