Droskar's Crucible

[Toryn Togglebit]

Toryn listened with rapt attention as the bard recounted their harrowing experience. The plot thickens! What was supposed to be a series of fairly straightforward jobs had blossomed into an entire conspiracy, filled with power-hungry kobolds, blood sacrifices and some kind of malevolent relic in the middle of it all. Plus a mysterious wizard to boot! One wouldn't think the gnome had the attention span to sit still for more than 10 minutes, but Toryn was actually an avid reader, and he particularly enjoyed those epic tales of heroes embarking on quests to save the world (and books on root vegetable agriculture).

Indeed! Toryn voiced his enthusiastic agreement, then rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he started thinking out loud. Hmm, I wonder what the fair market value of a blood-powered crown is. Probably cursed, so that may put a damper on the price- The gnome suddenly slapped his cheeks, shook his head and gently chided himself. Wait no, it is time for our heroic debut. Rescue first, salvage later! Salvage later...
