@Lurking Krog

You recall a memory from your early childhood. Early enough to be one of the oldest memories you can recall. Your parents were speaking in hushed whispers one night. You couldn't hear much of what they were saying and you remember little of what you actually heard. But you do remember that someone called Roshan was mentioned a few times.

@Lurking Krog

Roll a History check with advantage please.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

I'm assuming they're talking about Roshan.

@XxFellsingxX

They're asking about more than one name though. I figure Roshan is one of them, but I don't know the other names they're asking after.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

@rush99999 would Jørmund recognize either of those names?

@Lurking Krog

Which names are you referring to?

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

"We weren't trying to kill you. Break your defences, yes, but not kill you." The prisoner said. "Orders were to take the camp's inhabitants alive and replace them once they were sent back to the Plane of Earth. As for our change of heart, none of us really believe all that stuff Yosef and Ervdul were spouting. It was more a fear of what the Sultan would do to us if we disobeyed or failed that drove us forward. But now that the attack's been driven off and we've been left behind, we don't have to worry about that anymore. We're just easily replaceable slave soldiers, so they won't bother coming back for us. And the Sultan? His name is Roshan and he is a dao noble who lives in the Plane of Earth. He recently formed an alliance with and efreeti noble to counter an alliance between their djinni and marid rivals. To obtain more slave soldiers for the feud, they've been sending forces to the Material Plane to take over highwayman camps, send the highwaymen back as slaves, and capture any martially inclined wanderers that pass through the camp."

Are these captives just as disfigured as the others we saw on the battle feild. Missing ear tips and the like? @rush99999

@LostDestiny

All the captives belonging to races known for possessing iconic features have had those features removed. Elves and half elves are without ears, dwarves are clean shaven, orcs and half-orcs have their tusks removed. The only exceptions to this rules seems to be features required for some kind of racial ability. (i.e. Loxodons have kept their trunks, harengons have kept their ears, and leonin have kept their claws.)

Worlds Without Number: Adventures in the Gyre

What kind of play/genre tropes are you interested in? The different regions of the Gyre are suited to lots of different possibilities. If you've read the book, perhaps you have a locale you're particularly into.

@RedOnTheBed

I've had a flick through the book already. I plan on giving it a thorough read tomorrow. From what I've seen so far though, I enjoy the thought of a pulp sword and sorcery domain play set in Llaigis. Rather than working for warlords and chieftains, I want to be one myself, carve out a realm built on my crushed enemies and their lamenting women, and ascend to the same decadent heights as the land's rulers.

Count me in.

"Why wouldn't we be?" One of the captured attackers spoke up in response to Aura's comment without pausing in her work. "Captivity to the highwaymen means freedom from our former masters. And once we've finished cleaning up our mess here, we'll be paid for any further work we do. After that, it's just a matter of saving up enough money to secure safe passage back to our homelands... But listen to me blabber on. You wanted to talk to us about something, yes?"
