Episode 21.75: Farweald: New Dawn
Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2019 3:48 pm
With all of the status changes in Farweald, we'll put the 'next steps' here in this thread.
It's been a day and a half since the big fight in the central market of Farweald. That day will henceforth be known as the Day of Fire, as most of Farweald caught fire and then was saved by the combined actions of the whole remaining town.
The other thread dealt with changes that have taken place in Farweald as a result of the Day of Fire. I'm going to repost them here, as this thread will deal with some rebuiling/realignment within town.
Based on your day of putting out fires in town, you learn the following about Farweald after the Day of Fire.
1. The Grandwood was unaffected by the explosions as it did not have any of the Unbreakable Pottery (Hravja likely knew what was making it 'unbreakable').
2. The Invisibles were unaffected by the explosions as they did not have any Unbreakable Pottery (the Potter refused to sell to them because: prejudice).
3. The Mill was mostly unaffected as they had no need of Unbreakable Pottery. The Mill did suffer some secondary fire damage from other buildings around it.
4. The Central Market was devastated by multiple explosions and then the large battle that happened there. However, Basheem's large fancy scale survived (he was the money changer and you had determined a long time ago that his ornate scale was holy to Moqul).
5. Tinker's Rest was completely ruined by many explosions, their attendant fires, and the fire creatures released from captivity. The gnomish couple who ran the inn, Gellund and Irild Hodzik, were killed.
6. Forms in Wood - Master Illorg's carpentry shop was completely destroyed by the explosions and subsequent fires. Master Illorg handily slew the a salamander who was released in his shop.
7. Pef's Place - the PCs favorite place to stay in Farweald was completely destroyed in the explosions and fires. Several fire elementals were released who also destroyed part of the wooden palisade wall next to Pef's. Pef was killed defending his inn but his daughter, Julia, survived.
8. The Buzzsaw Tavern survived handily. Known as a rougher place, it did not have any Unbreakable Pottery because the patrons enjoyed breaking things as part of the 'ambiance'. The Buzzsaw is also close to the Cold River which runs through town.
9. The Wheel Inn was heavily damaged with multiple explosions and fires but is not a complete loss.
10. Ye Old Gaming House was completely destroyed with multiple explosions and fires. Also, the Gaming House is right on the Central Market, so it suffered some damage from the big fight.
11. Lolm's Livery was heavily damaged by fire from Tinker's Rest, which was across the street from the livery. Many horses were killed, but not all.
12. Haupt's Wonders was untouched by explosion or fires. The Unbreakable Pottery was far too 'low class' and ugly to be carried at Haupt's, and the building is made of sturdy brick. So even though building around Haupt's Wonders burned to the ground, Haupt's itself appears untouched.
13. Burt's Mundanities was untouched by explosion or fire. Burt thought Unbreakable Pottery was too 'high class' for his establishment, and he could never figure out how to purchase it anyway. There aren't any other building close enough to Burt's to have threatened it with fire, but everything is a little wet and moldy anyway so it is unlikely that it would have caught fire.
14. The Town Hall was damaged but not destroyed.
15. The Farweald Jail had several explosions within it and several fire creatures were released but the jail itself appears to be fireproof somehow, so it wasn't really damaged at all.
16. Feats in Clay, the potters shop right off of the Central Market, was utterly destroyed with many explosions and burned down several buildings next to it. Many creatures were released from the Potters shop which were defeated throughout the day by the various groups trying to save the town. The Potter, who sided with the Servants of the Master, was killed in the battle.
17. Ciande's Steeds, where the PCs bought their mounts, did not suffer any explosion damage but caught fire from several buildings around it and burned to the ground. However, Ciande (an elf), with others help, was able to save all of his horses.
18. Two Birds, the fletchers, who the PCs never visited because no one uses bows, was destroyed. There were a few explosions in the store itself and heavy fire damage from the creatures released from their pottery. The two half elves who ran the shop, Raeflyn Vyndal, known as “SureShot”, and her husband, Nivendor Vyndal, known as “RapidFire”, were both killed defending their neighbors from the creatures released in that part of town. The two half elves openly used quite a bit of magic in fighting the creatures, from what you gather, both arcane and divine magic.
Disposition of various Farweald Factions:
Government - the Council of Farweald, consisting of Councilors Wetis, Bern Haupt and Lemend Pelshyn, has been completely destroyed. Councilman Haupt was revealed to be the rakshasa, Hravja, who fled the big fight.
Constable Tierney is acting as a temporary town leader until a new Council can be chosen.
The Law - Constable Tierney, Deputy Hania, and Deputy Archibald all survived. Deputy Dunaric was killed in the big battle. Most guardsmen were revealed to be in league with the Servants of The Master, though they didn't know anything about The Master, himself. They were mostly just corrupted by bribes or hatred of the tiefling population. Most of these guardsmen were either killed in the battle or in the fires. Some survived, and switched sides when they saw who they were actually aligned with, and saw the tieflings rushing to save people in the Day of Fire.
The Tieflings - The tieflings suffered some losses in the Day of Fire, but mostly among those who had pledged themselves to Thosos and the Servants of the Master. The tieflings homes in the Invisibles were completely unaffected by the explosions and fires that ravaged the rest of town, and the tieflings gave shelter to many surviving townsfolk, all of whom were completely surprised at the very existence of the tieflings burrows.
Akriah and her 'returned/revaled' sister, Beltane, are the defacto leaders of the tiefling population of Farweald.
Akriah is revealed to be romantically involved with Constable Tierney.
Beltane is revealed to be a cleric of Trithereon wielding a sword called JusticeSeeker, and is the guardian of Quirinseyru's young son, Cyvos (a silver dragon wyrmling).
The Human Population - the largest population in Farweald has seen a very difficult day. Their longstanding superstitions against magic and tieflings have been proven to be fodder for the Servants of The Master. The oppressed underclass of tieflings helped save most of the town from the fires that ravaged Farweald. All of their leaders have been killed or revealed as traitors.
The Human population in Farweald is teetering. A strong leader could greatly influence them at this moment.
Balfhe and Markle are being recognized for valor in the big battle.
The Demihuman Population - There are notable demihumans throughout Farweald. The most prominent is the dwarven population, which fared pretty well following the Day of Fire. Noridur Hammerheart was revealed to be in league with the Servants of the Master, but his children, the Hammerheart Twins, convinced him to abandon the Servants once they revealed themselves and their agenda. Noridur was killed in the fight that followed.
Gimdriss Hammerheart, never one to hold her tongue, is currently serving as a spokesperson for the dwarven population in town.
Helar'ik Hammerheart is considering rejoining the Constabulary to honor the fallen Dunaric.
Master Illorg (dwarf) is emerging as a Hero of Farweald for his role in the big battle.
Master Anmreas (elf) is also being regarded as a Hero of Farweald for his role in the big battle.
Refelyn Vyndal and Nivendor Vyndal (1/2 elf) were killed fighting creatures released from the Unbreakable Pottery.
Gellund and Irild Hodzik, (gnomes) owners and proprietors of Tinker's Rest and beloved members of the Farweald community, were tragically killed by the creatures released from all of the Unbreakable Pottery they owned. Perhaps fittingly, Tinkers Rest was also utterly destroyed.
