Tracy's HackMoor Campaign 2013/04/23

[Havard]

After an initial briefing of the campaign situation, the new characters is a Dwarf Fighter named Dolmin "Wrathaxe". Also in helping to ease in new characters, Dolmin was brought in at half the average party level which made him third level. There were basically four places he could start (albeit practically three). First he could appear in his native land, which he had randomly rolled as Starport in the Duchy of the Peaks, Second, he could appear where the party was after the last battle, sipping Mai-Tais with the surviving, if not grateful, Red Dragon. Third he could wander into Elefus' stronghold where Elefus and Weasel were busy unpacking Elefus' Treasure he had just moved. Fourth he could just appear in Blackmoor town proper, but I didn't even mention it. As it turned out he got teleported there anyway.

Love the name Dolmin Wraithaxe
Any thought to which part of the Blackmoor Dwarf Kingdom his clan would hail from? Crystal Peaks, Black Hills, Iron Hills, Dragon Hills etc? Or would there be native Dwarves near Starport in your campaign?

GM's Note: Elefus' stronghold is on the North of the map just west of the Snake River hex 2804 on the DA1 map or hex 2404 on the original FFC map. It is a a Village from page 35 from the old Judges Guild "Village Book I" (I don't know if there ever was a Book II) The village is called "Coral Quarry" using the village name randomizer from that book.

New village, Coral Quarry is noted!

Before the session closed. There was a discussion into the histrionics of Medieval divorce and what was proper. Thus several things were determined or at least handsomely guessed at: 1) Elefus "may" decide to claim Medieval rights, insofar as the wife can be treated as chattel and dealt with accordingly. 2) Since Elefus is Viking by origin, he may go down the Viking cultural path and deal with his wife Viking style (although I reminded him not to forget the GOOD in Lawful Good). 3) Due to successful participation in module DA1, Elefus was promoted to Knighthood, given lands, and may decide to deal with his wife as a peer of the realm, possibly requiring summary judgment by the King himself. Lastly 4), the new Player seemed to have a grasp of good legal defenses for Elefus and MAY serve as Elefus' lawyer during the trial, if any. (Another Player with a non-vested interest in seeing the Elefus wife win the case, may serve as the wife's lawyer. This may mean a good
role-playing future session.)

This is a pretty interesting part of your campaign IMO. I remember I thought about it when the mentioned divorce first came up. Some good theories at least! By Viking, I assume you mean Skandaharian?
