A Text Quest about delving into a Magical Ruin.

Loosely based on the Pathfinder 1e, Adventure Module, "The Emerald Spire"

As the Adventure continues, names, creatures, events, and even entire floors may be edited or completely replaced. I'm using the Module as a Jumping off point, and a VERY LOOSE guideline. If you're already familiar with the Emerald Spire, that's fine. If not, I recommend NOT reading it, as it will only serve to spoil some of the early chapters, and will be Very Far off base for the later chapters.

Side Character's of Note

Baggragg

A small Bugbear, which is still a large creature. He gathered an army of Goblins to take over the ruins as his new home, but has failed to secure the 'basement' due to a supposed Necromancer.

He hired Coral to train his goblins and to clear out the basement.

Due to the exploits of Baldy, he rewarded the party with some new equipment.

Goblin Shaman

Not much is known about him. Baldy distrusts this Goblin.

Head Priestess:

An Elderly Lady who is in charge of the local Church.

She gave us a Quest to find the Source of the New Undead that have been coming out of the Magical Ruins. Our only Clue is an Image of a Crowned Skull.

Peculiar Man:

A man Coral Met when Traveling to Nearby Villages.

Based on the Evidence gathered, the Reward for Flim Flam's bounty was payed.

The Thing:

A Small Humanoid that coral discovered dragging a drunk into the Sewers.

With Quick thinking and a bit of Magic, Coral saved the Drunk and Captured the Thing. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a Gnome. the Following Day, the Guards Informed Coral that was in fact Slim Stinkman, and his Caught Alive Reward was Paid.

Trivia

  • Wizarding Colleges
Originally, these institutions only trained Wizards, and on Rare Occasions gave guidance to Particular Sorcerers. But as more Magically inclined Adventurers started to manifest, so too did the difficulty of getting Hired for a Quest. The Organizations and Individuals behind the Higher Paying Quest began asking for official credentials, thus the Wizarding Colleges seized this new demand by offering courses for many more types of Magically inclined Adventurers.
  • Barbarian/Warriors/etc Colleges?
These types of Hero's Typically Associate with the Magically Inclined, are Part of Guilds, or are wrapped up into Quests against their intentions. As such, there is no real demand for these kinds of Institutes.
  • Why are all the Guards Orcs?
Orcs are Strong, Intimidating, and often work for cheap. They make perfect Low Level Guards, which is all Coral has interacted with so far. That said, the more ambitious Orcs find it easy to climb the ranks withing Fort ThisPlaceIsNice.
