Summary by Cze & Peku Plot Summary Welcome to the growing port town of Knotside! After the most recent military expansion for the war front a respectable inflow of coin was given to the town and its denizens have prospered greatly for it. Business is flourishing, the fields are fertile, the fish are plenty, and the population growing by the week! The early days of summer are upon the land as the sun has grown strong. Summer festivals fueled by local brewers have kept spirits high despite the growing heat. Yet something is amiss. Not but five weeks ago, a new liquor called "Red Claw," had made its debut in the taverns of Knotside. Almost overnight its popularity sky rocketed! Within a matter of two days every drop of Red Claw alcohol had been bought and consumed! Anyone who took even a simple sip of the spirit found themselves wanting more. At first, these desires were naught but simple cravings like one might crave a simple sweet from time to time. As the days came and went without a new shipment in, that craving grew into a need. Then from a need to an obsession. Those who tasted its wonders would pay anything - do anything, if it meant they could taste Red Claw once more! The last shipment that came two weeks ago didn't even make it to the first tavern before it was overran! Its contents spilling into the streets and the townies lapping the drink from the cobblestone streets like wild mutts! Riots broke out forcing the town militia to deploy, yet even half of their forces were under the drink's sway! Now, the town of Knotside faces possible collapse as the red-eyed Red Claw addicts stalk the streets, desperate for more!! The drink must never come to town again and a cure must be discovered! A problem on top of the many at-hand is no one knows where this mysterious drink has come from! One thing is certain, though, whomever is brewing it must be stopped! Lest this affliction spread and collapse the entire region! Can you find the source and put an end to this booze-fueled curse? Game Detail Red Claw is a challenging location-based adventure for four 10th-level adventurers. While most encounters are designed for four 10th-level adventurers in mind, there are a few significantly more difficult challenges, so be weary! Duke Hammin, the ruler over the region that Knotside resides in, has put an urgent request to the Adventurer's Guild (aka as simply "the Guild") for immediate aid! After reviewing the situation and the possible threat of spreading you and your comrades were called upon, as well-respected/known Guild members, to address it. Whether you are an established team or independent agents, or even a mixture of the two; you all know of each enough to be acquaintances. You have been made aware of the enchanted drink and have been sent via coach wagon out to the location to investigate and put an end to this madness. DM Note: This One-shot is a pretty straight-forward dungeon crawl. Depending on post rate and the ever-volatile real life, I expect the game to last about six months.

 

Retry, the level 3 Dad How's it going? My name is rē-trī′Retry (he/him), and I've been a part of RPGx since late 2018 when I stumbled upon it from an internet search for a means to play ttrpgs online via text. I cut my teeth playing, DM'ing, and eventually teaching DND5e as a NPSG GM. This is just my latest endeavor to have some fun. I enjoy story-telling and find entertainment in reading the creations players come up with and seeing the inner workings of their psyche that playing in person can't easily offer. Through the years of playing I've come to greatly appreciate the essence of Roleplaying over 'Roll'playing and try to do my part in providing interesting NPCs and locale for the players to interact with. I am, admittedly, not a well-learned writer. My vocabulary isn't very extensive and my grammar is atrocious - but I do what I can to paint a picture for you the best I can! I also often employ ambient music through youtube and art to help supplement my post. Here are some of my more recent GM posts to help provide samples of how I narrate: "Wayside Inn (DoIP Storm Team, DND5e)" | "Hither (WbtWL, DND5e)" |"Dragon Barrow (DoIP Cloud Team, DND5e)" On a more personal side, I am an IT professional of almost seven years and father to three under the age of four. My job is a constant juggle of numerous tasks, projects, and user issues and my home-life is wrestling with three small children over simple things like bedtime and the reason why we wear clothes in public. That being said, its easier for me to post while at work and I am most active between the hours of 0700 and 1530 M-F. Off-hours, you can reach me via the OOC threads, a PM, or through Retry #2025, I am also in the newest RPGx discord server.Discord. I do not post on weekends as I am often with my wife and kids or DMing/playing D&D.
