⚒THE SONS OF IRON⚒



The Sons of Iron are paragon dwarves, meant to be the heroes of their kin. Each Son tends to represent one facet of what being a Dwarf means, some more for the honor, others more for the ale, others for runes, others for wealth, and so on. As such, they thrive to right the wrongs done by some Ancestors, such as in the 94th, and have the whole package: They toil in the mines like no dwarves in ancient Gathol Zirin, the forge said to almost run on its own, by the very hands and pickaxes of some Ancestors themselves, who are happy to collect their due in gold, jewelry, gemstones, magic and ale, filling the Vaults within the mines. With current events taking the Sons focus towards Little Tickertown and the Peerage, comes great opportunities for involvement in all sorts of plots, which is what is happening right now, ranging from the 92nd to 100th. Be a fully committed Son of Iron, former Golden Grinner, a fanatic or simply an "Ironjack", most dwarves can fit in.

With their only good two hander taken from them (quarterstaff) , I think even at a balance point of view it would solve a problem.

Just as Scumlord Spiffy said, Wizards who never wizard, we can say the same about barbarians who don't get angry, just push a button to self buff, bards who don't sing nor do anything art related, druids, paladins, the list goes on ... Even fighters have place for carefully thought RP, like, portraying all those years of training and discipline... The amount of RP and flavor is up to the player, and I don't think it should be policed, as Scumlord Spiffy, some people just want to chill, and they should be left alone. On the other hand, what should be done, is already done naturally, is recognition from DMs and fellow  players to those who portray their PCs in a flavorful manner, sometimes even earning them XP or loot or notoriety, etc.

Notices and Bulletins / *whispers of threats, thieves and nobles in the night*

« on: November 02, 2021, 03:42:04 AM »

Thelisa Sunspyre, Regent of Willowgrove. An Envoy of the Royal Thieves whispers to you. We are watching you. We are glad that you complied with our request of leaving the simple crooks, the small, commoner thieves, not only unmolested, but under your protection within the boundaries of Willowgrove Park. The criminal community is ever grateful.

One can't help, however, but wonder. Has anyone made such request on behalf of local changelings? No need to answer. We'll find out. We have left the Park, but our eyes and ears are always there. Your 20000 groats worth purse stands out. You may hear from us soon enough with a new request. For now, it seems you're rather busy trying to establish rule over those who don't need it.

hours later into the night...

This is the Envoy, of the Royal Thieves. Let it be known, that we have nor had any qualms with House Sunpurse. An Oath has been made this evening to reinforce that, no Royal Thief shall target nor threaten a member of Sunpurse family, by extention, nor its servants. This includes the extended family.

To the so called Royal Thieves- you scorn the name of monarchy itself with your foul bravado. I shall personally bring you to justice- your spying of the Lady Thelisa will not go unpunished. The groat stolen shall be procured and given to the needy, and your shadowy cabal will be brought to heel.
So says Garth, son of Norbert. Think not that you are safe from the hammer of justice that is those of pure and good heart. Theft is not a craft- it is neither noble nor does it bear purpose beyond your own selfish means. The Bannerhouse's agreement with your false guild will not spare you.

I must admit I am /very/ confused! Though I suppose I can be confused a lot lately, you know, well, given everything, but anyway, that's besides the point.
The point being, of course, well, you already know the point, because I think I've said it, or is it that I was going to say it just now? Anyway. Thievery seems /very/ evil, but so does attacking random people like the Sunspyre does. Maybe it's two evil people against each other?
That's good, right? [Huffs]

Suggestions / Re: Underwater: Ranged Weapons and Bludgeoning Weapons

« on: October 13, 2021, 12:00:08 PM »

From where I stand this is a great suggestion because it always bothered me to see people swinging large hammers and shooting arrows underwater. Fighting and doing anything underwater is supposed to be an extra challenge, for everyone, harder to cast spells, harder for the archers who have to draw their knives, it should also be harder on the mace swinging guy, who could just draw his favorite bootknife. There's a reason water related concepts involve harpoons, spears and tridents, and it would be nice to have it reflected mechanically.

Notices and Bulletins / Royal Thieves Announcements

« on: September 07, 2021, 04:33:37 AM »

Hark! A messenger of the Royal Thieves shall be making an important announcement in the King's Commons within a few moments.

*a plain voice slightly muffled by some mask* Hark, Loyal Subjects, I am The Envoy of the Royal Thieves! The official announcement was made around a candle ago, and since so few dared come to the King's commons to hear it, it shall be whispered in your ears... *ahems*

- 'As per open letter penned around 3 cycletime ago, The Royal Thieves announced their coming to rings 100 to 97 to the local Thieves Guild, the Knaves of 99, with three crime options to be chosen for introduction, all of them to fund charity. This time, the New Glum shall be the one and only beneficiary of all what is yielded. The options follow - GROATSNATCHING HOLIDAYS - A Sevenday holiday of pursecutting, with charity tickets of protection available for sale for 50 groats in the New Glum. - A NOBLE THIEVERY - An item of import shall be stolen from a Great House, auctioned or sold back for charity. - A ROYAL BURGLARY - An item of import shall be stolen from Peerage or Burgage establishment, auctioned or sold back for charity. - No answer has been given from the Knaves and due to their diplomacy failure, the Royal Scoundrel was forced to make the choice: -

- The Three of them!'-

Perudo Silvershine here, Gold-Priest o' Phanax. Th' Grinners won't be toleratin' no bloody thieves guild, nosirs. Gets right in th' way o' good 'n proper commerce. Wes spot any o' yous lowlives around, 'n we'll rough you upgood 'n proper. Praise Phanax!

I will tolerate NO THIEVERY in Little Ticker. If it happens to anyone, report it to me, Squire Aoife of Glitt.

I will make this very clear to these 'Royal Thieves' if you so much as steal from an Orzan or our House, we will hunt you down and beat you in the streets. Do so at your own risk. So speaks Jana, Arrow of Orza.

A bounty of 2,000 groat is placed upon any of the new 'Thieves Guild' or any of it's members that makes themselves known, present them alive, not dead for a'Judgement of Opulence! To Viscount of the Discounts, Cradocs Tanner of the Golden Grinners. That is all!

Hark! This is The Envoy, hear the words of the Royal Scoundrel! Those who wish gazes turned away from their purses during the GROATSNATCHING HOLIDAYS that is in effect for a sevenday, shall make a donation of fifty groats to the New Glum Bow and have their purses marked for exemption.

Shut up thieves, afore wes find you 'n breaks your kneecaps. Praise Phanax!

Cradocs Tanner

Thievin' ain't opulent at all you smelly dweeb! 2,500 for this one alive for a Judgement of Opulence! Thievin' is bad for commerce!

Journals and Musings / *A brand new logbook*

« on: August 29, 2021, 02:21:41 PM »

*as an old logbook gets its last page filled, its replacement quickly gets filled with several rushed entries at once*

We broke in the tower and reached its library. The Tome was warded, I had to make a copy and quick, the others kept defenders at bay. Only The Thug was slain; he had it coming for having heavy steps, dead men tell no tale. I am sure to have copied the last entries, yet, no one seem to be able to read it, memory gets slippery... Boss says it's time for next phase nonetheless

We now set to scour the 98 to 100, for the next mark lies there. Report any and every underworld activity and players, assess all major entities.

The Code has been pushed in the main bookstore. The word shall spread.
