The Road to Roam

  • Roam is a trading city
  • Has a patchwork marketplace
    • Chaotic space
    • Can buy anything if you try hard enough
  • One afternoon while traveling
    • She talks to Forber about becoming a warlock
      • Tries to convince him to just become a wizard
    • As we settle into camp with a bunch of fellow travelers
      • We hear a commotion of people pouring into the camp
        • We see a group of 20 very large people come into camp on draft horses
          • Start a party and start cooking large piles of meat
    • A large woman comes to start talking with me and I ask to wrestle
      • All large for their species
        • Large group of warriors

The Ruthless Lot

  • Group of traveling warriors
    • Mercenary band
    • Defeated the ground round
    • Headed to the queen’s rest
    • Called ruthless lot because they lost ruth
    • Leaders name is Lot
  • Instructions for contacting Ruthless Lot
    • Runic instructions
    • They head away from us

Arriving at Roam

  • Two days later after meeting the Ruthless Lot

Roam itself

  • Unique city, very impressive
  • Nobody really understands how, but it is raised up on legs
  • City doesn’t seem driven but it does avoid stepping on farms, it moves quicker when it sees army, it moves towards better weather
  • Picks up caravans and sends them off with new goods
  • How do you get on and off
    • Ropes and ladders to climb
    • Caravans get levitated up on a platform by a giant crystal
  • Doesn’t sell a lot of magical items even though the place is magical
    • That happens in the capital and crucible
  • All species

Doing stuff in Roam

  • My goal
    • Find out if anyone needs to hire mercs for a job
    • Check in with the trade merchants and the mayor
      • We’ll get offered some jobs
  • Forber is finding out what’s going on in the realm from the mercenaries
    • The king of the crown round has ordered all oak trees to be chopped down in a radius of 100 miles
    • Rumors that a famous author was murdered during a party
    • Sea monster halting trade around the coast line
      • But, that it was taken care of by a group of mercenaries
  • Thrainly seeks out some disguise materials
  • Merkin goes to a high end pub and sings the song of the fierce five
    • His reputation precedes him
  • As we leave the mayor’s building
    • Beckoned by an old lady
      • She offers to tell our fortune

Fortune Teller

  • Forber
    • Bullshit fortune to start

    • Then she says What you flee Has yet to be Summer, Fall, Winter
