T25.82 The Lancebearer, Part 2.19

-

"Go, now!" a deep voice barked from ahead as Domel rolled to a crouching position and looked towards the source of the voice.

As he readied the middle stance position the point of the meager dirk straight ahead, the sight of a lanky, turbaned young man came into his view.

His body lacked much bulk and seemed too weak to handle the large halberd which Domel cast aside earlier while attempting to restrain the invader who was by now rapidly growing in distance from him.

I made the wrong call - Domel thought as he felt perspiration roll down his forehead while studying his new adversary.

This new person was clearly out of breath.

Which meant that the opportunity was now.

Without a second thought, Domel stepped forwards the moment he saw the young man in the middle of exhalation.

A25.193,463 Crowdragon Range

-
An extremely windy mountain range. Small creatures with inadequate footing may be blown off balance. Occasionally one hears the croaking chorus of distant herds of wooly toads and the cawing of crafty Crowdragons who roost and nest in the shadow of the dark blue peaks the cut the welkin like a jagged wound. The terrain is extremely steep and precarious. It takes 3 days to cross the mountain range on foot with adequate mountain gear. Experienced riders of mountain goats may take 2 days. Encounters Roll 1d6 Encounter 1 Flock of 2d6+2 Young Crowdragons 2 Stampede of Giant Wooly Toads. Receive 3d6+42 bludgeoning damage on failure to evade the stampede. 3 Crowdragon nest with 1d6 Crowdragon eggs and 1d6 Crowdragon hatchlings. Roll 1d6 again - if roll is <3, 1 Adult Crowdragon returns to the nest. Nest also has a hoard of gems worth 2d6 * 1000 gp , a random set of +2 armor worn by a skeleton of a fallen veteran adventurer. 4 Toad Herd-wizard - Wizard HD8 ri...

#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 . Top 10 starred lore fragments: 5: Saltbreather Chameel 15: League of Cranes 3: Sanlef Stoma 23: Xhumect of Twenty Twigs 14: Bushelbeast 10: Krurumes, City of Violet 7: Scintrose The Jadestar Cult 347: The Crimson Nest 345: Mistberry Out of all the lore items, these are my personal top 10: 88: Kernelthief 23: Xhumect of Twenty Twigs 117: Seedshard Weldgrund 20: Slugrarion, Arm of Five Eyes 17: Grand Pollen Dryrmand 31: U...

A25 192,465 Omen Observatory

A soaring terraced tuya made of dark rocks, caked in powdery snow stepping upwards erratically up above the clouds. It's height is only second to the tall pillar of ice that is Trathulin's Tide, which can be seen from above the clouds on top of some of the taller terraces, where cones of limestone with tips of glass can be found - ancient observatories watching the stars. Travel across the land is difficult, requiring 3 days on foot, and 2 days when riding a mountain goat. Encounters Roll Encounter 1 Courier of the Astrologers. An undead Astrologer Mummy riding a Psionic Goat. They often carry messages and gifts sent between the few ancient astrologers that still gaze the stars to this day. They ride extremely quickly and will try to avoid being followed as best as they can unless one bears the badge of an astrologer. When acquainted, they may offer directions if it is within their knowledge. 2 Observatory pyramid. Roll 1d6 , on a 1 the pyramid is decent cond...
