Elured – Father of Hugue. Fisherman. Was replaced by an Inquisitor (Mirror-Face).

Baswick Telman – Newly appointed Harbour Master in Midmark.

Hynderwell – Son and presumably heir to the Hynderwell family, one of those who accompanied Baldric Evenkeel. A known friend and associate of Grell from college, he was reported missing. His corpse was found on the deck of the Experimental Ship, apparently having been killed by backlash from destroying the ship’s powersource with his family sword.

– Leader of a Caravan taking supplies between Xen’Khel and Vargen.

Gifforde Pypemoller

Wyschardus Gyor

– Punter’s Guild member and captain of a barge for ferrying people and equipment up the Khelwater.

Gronsk

– Devilfish currently inhabiting the Khelwater. Seems to hold some sway over his kin, and knows the Starchy Boyz from a previous encounter. His group seem to have control of a River Dragon, likely utilising the stolen orb gathered by Barnier Brockett, and essentially rule the river. Doesn’t think much of Araqiel.

Malik

– Harbour Master for the Punters in East Harbour.

Bitter Horse

– Ship of the Midmark navy. Docked at Vargen’s East Harbour during Grell’s attack and the attempt on Thorel’s life.

Cpt. Evenwod – Captain of the Bitter Horse.

People and Places

So I remembered this thing! 😀

Addendum to Dragon Consort Entry

– Prix, or Prixithalma, to use her full name. She was the Commander of the Rebellion against the Ancient Dwarven Empire, which included Derich Khelbane. It is believed her potential incarceration somewhere in Curabel is why the Dragon Emperor is targeting the archipelago.

Moyant, The Eyes of XenoTel

– One of the clerics travelling with Warleader Illske’s group. A human, he was the one responsible primarily for conversing with the Starchy Boyz and Axel Rhom’khul.

Kalgunn the Younger

– The last Administrator of the Engineering facility of Xen’Khel. Considered foolish and small-minded by his predecessor, he was ultimately killed my his deputy using a desynchronisation device.

Kalgunn the Elder

– One-time Administrator of the Engineering facility of Xen’Khel. After his death, his soul was stored within an old sword and left to rest within his grandson’s trunk. Recovered by the Starchy Boyz some two thousand years later, he currently asked as a little trusted advisor on the facilitys.

Vane Pottek

A Greycloak from Midmark. Tasked with investigating the death of Desric Treehorn.

Session 75 – People & Places

Maranthala – Chief Bioforge Engineer. Female dwarf who altered herself into a chimera of various humanoids and mechanical devices. Slain by Thorfus with the “multi-attack” sword.

Reliquaries – Formal name the ancient dwarves gave to their library cubes.

 *PAS (Personal Access Device) -* Ancient Dwarven terminology for the various lenticular discs we have found for various levels of security dealing with dwarven artifacts and portals. They come in Copper (Security), Silver, Platinum (highest level), and Gold. The Priority from lowest to highest appears to be gold, silver, copper, platinum.

Chief Pathogen Engineer, XK Section G – We believe this to be the area in the other portals that was locked down. Where the 6 missing dwarves in power armor went.

Xen Khel (Research Station Prime) Network – We found this as an option at Maranthala’s desk. It explained what all of the letters on the big portal keys are for:

-Upper City (A)

-Botanical Research (C)

-Engineering & Power (F)

-Pathogen (G)

-Special Research (X)

-Crystal Tower Base Station (Error when tried this option. All the others gave No Response.)

-Xeno Tel2

The Conclave in Exile – Mentioned by Maranthala in her personal diary. This appears to be the ruling council of dwarves after the fall of the Crystal Tower.

Date system – The ancient dwarven dating system seems to function like a clock. The first date we found using Maranthala’s desk was 01.001.01.01. When the three digit portion hit 350 the left most number incremented. It appears that the dating system is xx.DDD.MM.DD, where the DDD = day of year, only 350 days in their year? MM = 1-12 months, and DD = day of month from 1-30. Two significant dates were 6.0.34.?? (John didn’t have the exact date.), and 6.035.09.12. The first saw the number of Khels go down from about 50 to 40. Perhaps the fall of the Crystal Tower? The last date showed the number of Khels as 6. I’m not sure I have the right interpretation, as that would mean that the ancient dwarves were only in control for 6 years. 350 is also an average lifespan for a dwarf, perhaps it is the number of generations of the empire?

Geological Survey – We learned from Maranthala’s desk that there were once more islands in the archipelago.

Underground Cavern with giant mushroom forest – WE opened the shutters in Maranthala’s office and through thick glass with rie support in it, we saw a huge cavern with a forest of giant bio-luminescent mushrooms. On the far side of this huge cavern, we saw a dwarven complex with similar shutters, hundreds of feet away, but the giant mushrooms had breached the wall and infiltrated the structure. We postulated that this might be the facility on lockdown.

Session 74

Session 73

Hisham & Reinold Ironhand – Two young dwarves in Xen’Khel with the militia from Xenilum Khel – ask to be honor guard for Thorfus, as head of the Ironhand clan. Thorfus allows them to stay and watch over the manor we occupied after its prior occupant left.
