Jade Regent Notes

Book 1

Sandpoint

Possible locations for Ekin.

  • Devil's Platter
  • Brinestump Marsh

Someone saw an old dwarf on the lost coast road heading southwest.

Walthur Proudstump the Halfling lives in Brinestump marsh. Hermit.

Brinestump Marsh

Fisherman will give us 30gp if we spend the night. Sherrif will give us 10gp per goblin ear

Chief Gutwad leads the goblins to the SE of Walthur's cabin.

Volorog was impersonating Walthur.

We killed the evil abberation that was eating shit.

Goblin Camp

They were shouting about ghosts. We beat the shit out of them.

20 goblins and Gutwad killed.

"Walking Skeletons" attacked them, many died. Treasure was taken.

They had taken the treasure from a cave here in the marsh.

Akin traveled through here two months ago. Killed 3/4 goblins that tried to kill him.

Shipwrecks

"Kaijitsu Star". Burned. Explosion marks. Fire after crash

"Kaijitsu Blossom". Vorka's diary on a desk in the side of the shipwreck. He talks of killing food and eating it. And cave with a drawing of a skeleton with a curved sword. Entries about how he found both shipwrecks and the cave but couldn't go into the cave because of the skeletons. Treasure in the shipwrecks, but old friends stole it and took it back to licktoad.

There was a evil skeleton dude and we killed him and got tons of loot.

Caravan

Travel northwards

"One treasure beyond two seals in the third vault"

The key you seek lies in the grip of the 10 handed one his fear your greatest ally Beware the cuckholded cuckoo It is in his shattered silent love you should seek aid

Brinewall Castle

Harpy and Oni told us stuff

Dragon Tattoo moved

The silent song can calm the crowstorm, but not because it loves you; only because it hates the storm. Only fools would place their full trust in such evil. Grandfather waits in the dark, but he knows not who he was...

moar

Found kelda

Pharasma was on the door with her symbols.

Got a ton of loot

BUTTERSNIPS KILLED HXLUL!!!

the spirits left when we got rid of the demons

in the third vault we see Rokuru's spirit.

Visions

4 visions

  • army of demons descending onto nation of tien from forest
  • Two men, one dressed regally, standing by a well. The friend got bigger and killed the regal dude with a large sword
  • a young tien man holding a beautiful curved sword, handing to ulfin man for large bag of gold
  • Ameiko dressed like a tien empress rising from Jade throne

Book 2

Gonna hit the road ASAP. Going to Kalsgard.

Fin Snaevald bought the sword.

Silk has fox, snake, short man on it.

On the Road

Fought some drakes

Large bird with red feathers following us

Attacked by Vikings the Aril's Hammer. They had Lion crested armbands, and they were riding in a Rimerunner's Guild boat.

Wodes gave orders to the boat dudes, and ambush any caravan crossing the bridge

Kalsguard

Recommend we stay in the Hunting Serpent, Ice Quarter.

Fynn Snaevald had the sword > 50 years ago. He has a mansion in the Amber Quarter.

Amber Quarter

Shops with gold and jewelry

Fynn Snevald's Manse

Found the big mansion. Fynn has old ties to a guild. Agni? Aghanims? Sells stuff from Tian Xia. Ice Crown Union. He used to fund their expeditions.

(Sword is Suishen). It was on the Mantle. Dust missing from a streak on it?

Two weeks ago, people broke in, killed four servants, and stole it. No were-gild, so we can blood vengeance them in exchange for the sword.

People associated with the guilds have been asking about us.

One of the servants said "Paying the Lion's Due."

Servant's door. Nothing wrong with the lock, but shimmering dust lining it. The magically unlocked the servants' entrance.

Servant killed with slit throats, except one who was stabbed in the chest. Clean through and through. Very clean wounds.

Many landowners/ring-givers who use a lion as their sigil.

Hunting Serpent

Middle of stone quarter Temple of Torag. Gave me a barrell of ale to trade with them.

Dwarf in black hood spits on floor and leaves when I tell the story of Rogar.

We got rooms, and there's a communal bath house.

A Samsaran has arrived in Kalsguard. First in 5 years. Really good luck.

Fire Quarter

Denser. Smells like ale in the streets. People sleeping where they are drunk, it's a crazy party all the time.

"Lion? I don't know about any lion crest, but I heard a lady in a small little ale house, she was holding her head; looking mighty hurt; muttering about the damn lions. It was called the 'Upturned Glass'."

Everything is a tavern.

Upturned Glass

Kelda is here, sitting with a woman with pale blue white skin, falling off in many places; Dagny.

Uksahkka is really hungover/drunk and will show us to the Lion dude; Asvig Longfuse. Meet at horn quarter gates at sunset. The men are not nice and don't like visitors. We should find Ulf. He was given a job and disappeared.

Kengen's side trip

Blood-feather raven means you die in next 7 years.

There's a magic user of pure evil, and the raven is his familiar. He marks his prey with the raven. 'Goti Runecaster'? Strange magical runes surrounding the bodies.

A blind dude was paid to say ominous shit to Kengen.

Stone Quarter

Temple is hammer shaped with fire coming out the sides.

Human high priestess (Irongleam) in a ponytail with soot on her cheeks in patterns giving a sermon. Wearing armor as she preaches and a long axe strapped to her back. Toiling over a huge bellows. CRAZY hot from the flames.

Melora, who trained with me but left when I was young, is there.

There have been reports that someone is looking for me and who I'm with. They're looking for Ameiko.

"Anyone would kneel before THAT hammer"

Temple has entrance to the undercroft, a vast network of tunnels.

Get to a large chamber behind a secret door. Numerous carts, crates, boxes, goods here. In the back a rugged looking dwarf in a dark beard and a dark hood.

Heard about a young man, strange snake person, and most notably a dwarf wielding a large greathammer (runes, came down like hurricane). Organized group looking for us.

Worked for a group. One of the crates was shaking. The box bit him. Feathers sticking out of robes, black masks and robes. They wanted him to kidnap me.

They likely have sway with the councilmembers. A representative of the rimerunners.

No slaves in Kalsguard, but there are thralls; indentured servants. Some ring-givers raid villages and take thralls against their will, but they keep it pretty hushed.

Someone is following us from the temple. A young tien man. He was hired by a guy in a hood. Sword with a red scabbard. Bring info to Jade Quarter. A barrell by the river dock.

Digging up the Dead

They sneak into the back and dig up one of the servants.

  1. Tell us everything you know about the people who killed you.

They were dark people. Though they wore their darkness not well. The tall one, he was who plunged the blade through my heart, although there were other dark ones who slit the throats of my colleagues. The gold of his hair clashed against the hood he wore, and his armband of lions.

  1. What did you mean by 'paying the lions due'?

They killed us, and they must be paid in return by you, but they have already been paid by others. This I overheard. You must pay him what he is owed, but I heard he has already been paid by others.

  1. Why were they after Suishen?

That is why others have paid him. Although... only those with a purpose in mind forgo riches which they may take.

YOU MUST PAY THEM WHAT THEY ARE OWE.

Leads

  • Find the Sword-stealers and kill them (Paying the Lion's Due)
  • Rimerunners are connected to those following us
  • Goti Runecaster and his familiar raven
  • Uksahkka and Asvig Longfuse (and find Ulf)

Assfig Longfuse

We crushed the lion statue and then went to his place. They attacked us, we killed them all.

Interrogation

We took them to a barn.

Witch said that employer told them to steal it. They were partying because Snori Stoneye died. Something about Ulf being down the river. Probably the funeral ship going out tomorrow at dawn.

Ass-fig exploded when he tried to tell us stuff. All the blood left his body. Some kinda not quite curse thing. We decided to speak with dead:

  1. Where is Suishen?

"I gave it to my boss"

  1. Who is your employer?

"My employer is the Rimerunner's guild"

  1. Who cursed you?

"I have no curse, but the one who made me swear this oath is the one who made them all swear it. Silverskorr"

  1. Where is Ulf?

"He's going down with Snori at dawn"

Back to the wife, Silverskorr is the female leader of the Rimerunners.

We let her go because, um, yeah.

Return to Rest

Taki's room got trashed. Door was locked, so someone came in the window.

Saving Ulf

Kengen went invisible and then got on the boat. A group of four cloaked figures working for Silverskorr said to burn the boat when someone attacks.

The undead thing under the deck was Snori Stoneeye, so the guy in wraps on the top must be Ulf.

Kengen broke open the ship and swam out with a legit hydraulic push. The large raven is here watching. It left when Taki approached. We looked at the body, but it was just porcelain.

Kengen came out of the water and breathed fire and shouted that he was GOJIRA!!!

Kengen got the winged helm

The Riot

We lead a riot through the city gates to the Rimerunners, which are in the middle of the Jade Quarter.

Big ol guildhall building that says "Rimerunners" with a carving of the river. Lots of Rimerunner's guards out front.

Thorborg Silverskorr comes out and says she managed the funeral. Snori became a Draugr, which is why they did the fake porcelain body.

Kawaoh's Perfume Shop

Koya takes us to a perfume shop where the owner knows all kinds of things, and the owner lady wants to talk with us. There's a back room that's huge with large artifacts inside. Tien writing all over, dresses, weapons, masks, etc.

Oldish looking Tien woman is talking to a terrified man, two burly guys standing behind. The burly guys take the other guy away. She used to be trying to buy the sword.

She says she can get us in the front door of the Rimerunners. She has a Tien symbol on a single piece of leather. It can help find the sword. (The symbol means 'find'). She wants the Rimerunners logs and customers in exchange.

Goti Runecaster's familiar is the red tailed bird. According to Kawaoh, he's currently working for Silverskorr.

Rimerunners hired three new guards, she says we can become those on the night shift and open the doors for everyone else. The locks on the doors and windows are too strong to be broken. Get three of us in, and then let the others.

She gave us polyjuice and disguises for 3 of us.

Back to Camp

Back in Jor, some people cleaned up Brinewall.

Breaking into the Rimerunners

Frozen Shadows (the men from the docks) took Ukshanksasdfasdf, and now she's with the Rimerunners. We got a strongbox

The Iron Church

We bring the box into the back room of the Iron Church to get it opened. Hobbit style circle hammering to get it open. It's just documents.

10s of k of gold going to Raven's Crag. They're all signed by Silverskorr. A ship named "Aril's Hammer" was rented to Ass-fig Longfuse right when we were attacked. Records of Ass-Fig behind hired to take the sword. Note says sword was sent to Raven's Crag.

"It seems you got out. Meet me by tonight at the shop. -K"

Back to the Perfume Shop

We give her the ledgers.

She has no idea where Ulf is. What she does know is that the Frozen Shadows here in Kalsguard are little more than the back end of the Rimerunners. The rimerunners are a front.

Raven's Crag was owned by Snori Stoneye. After his death, those that serve him sold the place cheaply to someone powerful, likely the rimerunners. It's about a day's walk out of the city limits to the south.

Come back again tomorrow for a suitable payment.

To Raven's Crag

The path has bogs and stuff. We see a manor on a cliff up above. Steep narrow path up the crag. Stone and timber long hall, 100 ft up.

Now we fighting shit.

Snori's thing:

demons will clash in the north, wind meeds blizzard, end of world, annihilate build raven's crag to defend against the unending winter

Gear hidden in chimney floo

"GIVE ME TO THE SCIONS OF THE AMATATSU"

Apparently that's us.

Oni, she, Kimondatsu controls agents

King curse, when he's cold, fires can't be lit. Remains in Kalsguard despite the curse.

Gotye Runecaster's Song:

You didn't have to cut me up. Kill me dead and take my stuff like I was nothing

Lute Haggersly is the dude in the thing

He doesn't know why he was captured. He's a trader who runs caravans. He's never been across the crown.

They questioned him about his customers then poisoned him. Silverskor, head of the rimerunners, was here. They've kept him for weeks.

Rimerunners:

  • Goti Runecaster
  • Silverskor
  • Omayani (the ninja we fought)
  • Scotty Hammerswing
  • Frida (the Yorerunner)

Silverskorr wants us to leave Ametatsu heir (ameiko) to her. FUCK NAW BITCH!

Silverskorr is actually a large red ogre thing with tusks and Tien shit. Totally an Oni.

Silverskorr is Kimondatsu. She runs the frozen shadows and the rimerunners, and even the kings go by her before doing shit (all according to her shit-talk).

We beat em. She had an Oathbreaker club that kills shit when oaths are broken on it.

There's a large Winter Wolf named Skygni. It's evil, but it speaks Skald, and it was imprisoned by the Oni. We let it go.

Ulf was in the last room. Finally. He'll take us across the crown of the world.

Wodes was gone after we killed the Oni (we still don't know his name is wodes).

Something

Ninjas ambush up, Ameiko & Shalelu come out with the King and housecarls. Dagny throws Suishen to Ameiko. Sheath explodes off and says "Be gone frozen shadow", and some other stuff, and the flames arc out in a bunch of directions and burn all the ninjas.

Lute Haggersley warned them.

That evil merchant lady wants to take over Rimerunner's business. Karden suggested that the Ironheart clan would take over the Rimerunners instead.

He said we'll come to his keep tonight, and talk to the Windwalker. We can take what we want from here, He'll give us 2k gold for our journey. He reccomends warm clothes.

He will be taking control of Raven's Crag, and then the Ironhearts can take it later.

The King knows about Akin. He was in the city, but he left, the windwalker might know more. She is useful in that way.
