"value": "Lentrax: Celoac at night is almost peaceful.\n\nAssuming you lived on a Forge world before, anyway. The Forge stretches deep into the planet, opening a hole ten kilometers wide and stretching down deep into the planets mantle. Materials are harvested from the planet, and the massive machines and factories in the Forge convert the minerals into… well, no one is quite sure what the Forge makes. But make things it does, loading them onto transports that come and go at all times of day and night.\n\nOn one such night, a figure is running across the rooftops of Qeron. As they run, they leap from building to building. Behind them, three more figures are running, giving chase. As they leap over a heat exchanger atop one of the buildings, one the chasers raises a wrist, and a dart flies out, silently propelled on a jet of compressed gas. The dart misses its mark, embedding in the ferrocrete material of the rooftop. The chase continues, until, at last, one of the darts strikes home, and the figure trying to evade their pursuers falls to the street below.\n\n * * * \nDay breaks out. The Forge is still hard at work. And Qeron comes to life. People begin to get themselves ready for work. People are heading to work. Street vendors are setting up their shops and starting to cook their foodstuffs for sale to the variety of beings who live and make their livings in the city.\n\nAnd, perhaps most unusually, the usual patrols of Sith troops are reinforced by a half dozen of the battle droids the planet has to be able to maintain order."

Like usual."

"value": "Vrock Bait: Qeron in the daytime always reminded Charra of her teenage years. The hustle and bustle of a working class neighborhood, all while armed guards looked on in a mix of boredom and annoyance. There was also something disturbing about it; everywhere else Charra had ever lived had possessed a sort of intimacy, carried through the familiar conversations of passing relatives or the passionate arguments of lovers and friends. Well, not passionate by foreign standards, but Pantoran passion was certainly of a different breed. Qeron, in contrast, was a place of passing by. A liminal space where it wasn’t just the armed guards trying to burn time as fast as possible, but really almost everyone. Perhaps that was the problem with living on such a cosmopolitan planet. Perhaps that was the problem with living on such an authoritarian planet.\n\nAs usual, Charra suppressed her urge to run off at the sight of bounty hunters, and tried to keep a brisk pace towards her destination. The faster her business, the faster she could get out of here."

"value": "Kythia: The Mercenary Halls are one of the few permanent buildings in the Magaramachi Salination and are the venue chosen for the auction, a secondary aim being to show off the Magaramachi mercenary power to potential clients. There are clearly two distinct architectural styles in the building, those bits designed and built by the Magaramachi in disrepair and collapsing after only a decade while those built after the arrival of the Gotezhar specialists still standing firm and being composed of “right angles” and “appropriate building materials” and other such masonic wizardry.\n\nGetting there isn’t entirely trivial though. Not only are delegates fighting off regular attacks from the local population but the Eel Without End – despite being chased off single handedly by the Magaramachi with no help from anyone at all (is the story you hear) – is omnipresent in this region still. Travel requires regular detours to avoid its bulk and its mind influencing powers turn delegates against one another and leave the weaker willed wandering with staring eyes. The algae covering the surface leaves the region dark – and the eyeless Magaramachi don’t use lighting – while the salty water is unpleasant to some races.\n\nOnce in the main building delegates pass numerous Magaramachi, all bearing the scars of their regular internecine fights, scrambling and squabbling to ask the conch questions HAS THERE EVER BEEN ANYONE BIGGER THAN ME? CAN I EAT THE SUN? AM I THE BIGGEST? WHO IS THE BIGGEST? HOW CAN I GET BIGGER? but the Conch remains silent. Fights break out regularly as is traditional for any space that has more than one Magaramachon in it.\n\nEmperor Extensive-Colossal-OneMillion, occasionally leaving his shark skull encrusted couch to fight anyone who looks at him funny, does his best to greet visitors cordially but his best isn’t overly good. Threats and insane boasts are screamed at high volume, often being enough to penetrate the high volume screaming of threats and boasts from everyone else in the room. Vistors are permitted to handle the conch but ONE QUESTION PER THREE YEARS he informs them if they try to question it.\n\n \n\nThe Magaramachi will give the conch to whoever they like best. The current ranking is:\n \n Miru Miru : 3 MGM rep \n Lojan: 3 MGM rep \n Titan of Industry: 2 MGM rep \n Gotezhar: 1 MGM rep \n Lambent Syndicate: 1 MGM rep \n Lighthouse: -1 MGM rep \n \n\nEveryone else is neutral.\n\nImpressing them in the auction isn’t difficult though:\n \n Offering sweet foods +d4 MGM rep \n Offering Military technology +d4 MGM rep \n Random unnamed NPC winning a fight with a Magaramachon (2d6 plus half ruler’s military vs 2d6+4) +2d4 MGM rep \n NPC named prior to the start of this round winning a fight with a Magaramachon (2d6 plus half ruler’s military vs 2d6+4, generals 2d6+ their Military score vs 2d6+4) +3d4 MGM rep \n Ruler winning a fight with a Magaramacho (2d6 plus their Military score vs 2d6+4) +4d4 MGM rep\nThere may be other methods \n \n\nAll fights are, at least from the Magaramachi point of view, to the death."

Odd, in her former years such things would have been considered a blessing upon her. The world truly was upside down now, huh. And in her gullet.\n\nSpeaking of gullet, she'd brought along a moderate sampling of food, sequestered away in such a place as to only present it when the time was right. A various assortment of things, kind of like a buffet. Her petite form had the trails of significantly larger brambles behind it carrying those things, in part to determine what exactly they'd prefer. Or, if she suspected right, they didn't have much any preference at all.\n\nMaybe literal garbage would work for their consumption. A theory to test for later, she needed to eventually deal with pollution.\n\n\"Greetings. I've seen the Eel Without End at this point on my way here, and I must admit.\" Mawbel shrugged, addressing the Emperor when she found the significantly sized monstrosity. \"Less impressive than I imagined from the descriptions.

So there are some questions it always answers, and some questions it only answers very rarely. That's good to know. The major question I'd like to know is...\" She ponders this, a little more, giving the thing, not the emperor, a leer.\n\n\"How do we know it doesn't lie? Does it only speak truths?\""

Within the cities of the former Greenwater Clans, the Gotezhar, Mer, Pygmy Mer, and the recently added Ghonites that make up the Builder's Union have gathered together to discuss new ideas, and exchange thoughts.

At the same time, there are a few issues to resolve. Rumors abound, but it sounds like Team Clouds - from the Sealympics! - have not returned home yet.

"value": "Grim ranger: Polar seas, Pelegar \nThe region of Pelegar is one that hosts many ruins of ancient grandeur, but as of late is has been drastically changed. Where before there were only sad ruins of past glories, perhaps veiled by colorful fabrics or makeshift attempts at repairs, grand structures have once again began to rise through the waters in their stead. Tall spires of ancient style but recent build raise from the foundations of old, gifts of the new rulers of the area to once again cast their gentle glow over nearly the entire terrain and making days all the more bright, the nights less harrowing and dark.\n\nThere is one particular addition to the profile of the region that has utterly dominated people's attention during the recent years, however: the grand arches and frozen spires of the newly created Polar Institute of Warfare, realized from mere plans of a King seeking to make his mark on the history books. The roads leading to and from the expansive campus are traveled by a great many students, alongside patrols of Nathi legionaries and region's own Talented Crab soldiers... although presently, the traffic towards the Institute has to dodge around the event taking up one of the large courtyards located before the entrance of the outer perimeter.\n\nNumber of colorful banners proudly declare the \"Summit of Skill\" to be in progress, an event hosted by a number of Institute's faculty and certain influential sponsors from Hegemony and beyond. A number of ringed-off areas have been dedicated to the noble and spirited sport of Blitzball, reserved for most athletically inclined of potential applicants. Similarly there is a tournament of Fish Go, the most strategic of underwater games, for those who wish to prove their strategic acumen.\n\nAll polities across the world are offered an invitation to the event, with a promise of scholarship for the attendee that'll most impress the gathered instructors... and considerable stipends for the runners-up.\n\n \n Spoiler: Mechanics \nAnyone attending with an action can send a representative to compete in either of the offered tournaments, rolling Military for Blitzball or Intrigue for Fish Go. At the end of the event, the rolls are tallied and ranked from highest to lowest. For mechanical reasons, all rolls compete against each other.\n\n Prizes: \n1st place: Given permission to send their General to study at the Institute without any need to negotiate tuitions, and 2 treasure\n2nd place: Given permission to send their General to study at the Institute without any need to negotiate tuitions, or 2 treasure\n3rd place: 1 treasure\n "

You could think the void was all you knew, but without a mind, deep thinking is slightly beyond you. The Void wasn’t warm or cold. Not beautiful or ugly, because without a body you couldn't experience these things. The Void is all and nothing until it wasn’t.\n\n\nA swirling blood red portal was the first thing her eyes saw. Her eyes! Looking down she saw that she also had arms, hands, fingers, legs, and all the other things a women should have. That's right she was a woman! And not just any woman. She was a caster! And not just any caster, a Shockamancer! Looking around the room she realises she was in the portal room of a side, her side! Each new sight, sound, and thought seemed to pull her in a new direction, making her lose focus.\n\n\nAfter awhile the onrush of new sights, ideas, and stimuli finally stopped overwhelming her mind and her personality rooted itself loosely in place.

I have a father and I’m a noble that makes me a princess!” \n\n\nPleased with her rise in station Harley began looking at her regalia. She was wearing a rather modest Dark Red gown, which disappointed her. The large two sided hammer in her had however did not. The yellow Smiley faces on the blunt end of each side sent giggles down her spine.\n\n “Now where is my father, I would think he would have summoned me at..” \n\nHarley was interrupted as the portal room began to shake and shrink at the same time. Harley mind was again overcome as she was again overloaded with new senses. Harley realized she had just become the heir of the side of Arkum! Before she could process that, she was again bombarded as she became ruler of the side!\n\nAll the new information was too much for Harley's new mind. To go from newly popped to ruler in less than five minutes fractured her mind, filling her mind with different facets to handle the rush of information. With that, Harley passed out.\n\n\nA strange warmth awoke Harley. She was lying on the floor of the now smaller portal room. Looking at the portal she could now see other colors faintly mixed in with the red. Flashes of orange, blue, yellow, and black swirled inside the deep red portal. As she sat up Harley could sense the other units of her side and the state of her capital as a new turn dawned.\n\n\nSide information\n \n Spoiler \nCapital City Arkum\nLevel 1\nBuilding Slots 0/2\nTower lv 1 0/200\nIncome 1000 shmuckers\nUpkeep 192\nTreasury 1257\nProduction: 2 scouts\n\n\nUnits\n\nQueen Harley Tesla\nLevel 1 Shockamancer\nJuice 100/100\n2(3)/2/6/8 “Combat/defense/hits/Move”\nSpecials: caster “Shockamancy”, Noble\nUpkeep 120 shmuckers\nEquipment: Blunted smile\n\n\nX8 Pikers\nLevel 1\n1/2/6/0\nSpecials: Garrison\nUpkeep: 6 shmuckers each\n\nX2 Scouts\nLevel 1\n0/1/6/12\nSpecial: Scout\nUpkeep: 12 Shmuckers each\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrushing off her dress.

Earlier this morning she flew to the Spire in vapour-form, marking out a trail with vanishingly small slivers of stationary cloud and circling facsimile birds. The Margrave never takes the same route twice. As one of her more permanent works, his self-flying carriage is capable of following her magic as it sustains these temporary creations.\n\nSnapping the tinplate paint-pot in her other hand shut, M wills the column beneath her feet to shrink. It descends from the apex of the delicate three-quarter-circle arch of the noble gate, as high as twenty men are tall, and as it goes rough granite blurs into lustrous steel, the straight, simple form twisting itself into the complexity of a silvery horse upon which the transmuter sits sidesaddle.\n\nTransmuting the pot-lid into a perfect seal and slipping it into a hidden pocket in her dress, she nods to Captain Meris, commander of the Margrave's guard of honour. There is no need to speak, as they have performed this ritual ten thousand times over. Well, actually, most of those times were with Meris's predecessors. Now she will get out of his way so he can form the men up properly for arrival.\n\nUrging her mount off to the side, she casts her stony gaze over to the rabble arriving nearby. Is that Sir Tavaris?

It makes your effective carrying weight for light load 49.5. You're also small sized so certain items, that are also small, are only half weight.

This includes a summary of the action so far! Read it! )\n\n \n\nWith the party all together again, they can go over their discoveries and review the maps Olofire has purchased. During the lockdown of the Sanctum no one approaches to bother the PCs as they make plans, including the relative of Lyr that is rumored to be looking for Frederick. You are able to rest and recover, either here or at the Crooked House, and begin the next day fully refreshed and ready for business.\n\nWhen the party begins looking they start in the Artisan's District. Rather close to the map shop where Olofire purchased his new collection they find a business called the \"Cold Forge\" - an armor and weapon smithy run by a foul-mouther old smith named Crusty Patten. There are numerous ways down into the sewers from the streets, including one out of sight in an alley behind the various businesses.\n\n \n Spoiler: Mechanics \nThis would be easier around a table, but you all managed well enough so I want to get us going...\n\nFinding the next dungeon requires some skill checks. You've already learned a bit about Beggar's Gold, the fungus found on the dead drows' boots. At the discovery of the Cold Forge several of you remember that the fungus often grows in sewers near smithies or forges.\n\nOlofire's efforts have accomplished the \"Gather Information\" check needed to find the Cold Forge.\n\nOnce you enter the sewers you will need to pass five DC 10 Survival checks, keeping an eye out for phosphorescent mold, to find the entrance to the dungeon. As no one in the party is a Ranger or Druid (Lydia has the highest Survival modifier at +4) I went ahead and did the rolls for you.\n \n\nAfter slipping into the sewers and establishing their light sources and marching orders, the party encounters several minor threats - a wandering gelatinous cube, some darkmantles, and a couple of carrion crawlers - all of which are either dispatched or avoided easily. At one point, early in their exploration, Lydia finds the body of a male human with a large hole in the back of his rotting head. It's a grisly reminder of the threat they face down below the Free City of Greyhawk.\n\nAbout three hours into the day the PCs find a rather large patch of Beggar's Gold just off an ancient and particularly deep (60 ft underground) sewer tunnel. Here the sewers cross with some natural caves full of the usual stalactites and stalagmites, with a ceiling about twenty feet above. The caves are utterly dark with the exception of the entrance's glowing fungus - there is no light inside except what the PCs bring with them. The natural tunnel walls are unworked stone and the floor is uneven and slippery in most places, making the ground difficult terrain unless otherwise noted.\n\nThe first large cavern the PCs find has patches of phosphorescent fungus lighting it. There are huge swaths of the Beggar's Gold fungus and toadstools of various sizes, some the size of a full grown human.\n\n \n Spoiler: Map \n \n \n\n I recommend that the players review carefully the sorts of dangers that can occur underground ( Mundane Environmental Hazards ). We haven't dealt with many of these in a long time (real world), but your PCs would know that such threats exist. Also, there are many, many varieties of interesting (and dangerous) fungus used in old-school style dungeon crawls, especially where Underdark dwellers are concerned. "

The walls of the subterranean corridors are cold stone, slick with moisture and stained with the memories of those who walked this path before. Faint, flickering lanterns cast long shadows on you and your fellow prisoners. You've just been brought out of a cell where you have spent the night before. You don't know what time it is exactly, what with the sun being absent, but you reckon that a meager meal was served to you maybe one or two hours ago. So it must be past noon. Which means your \"chance at redemption\", as the judge put it, is near. At the end of the corridor, someone shouts a command whose words are mangled by the distance. But right from behind the line of convicts, another voice reacts, shouting at you all : \n Guard : \"-Alright, you scum ! It's show time ! Aaaaa...dvance !\" \n The person in front of you shuffles forward and, shackled in chains, you are forced to follow. When the torch light allows, you can see some of the guards, clad in dark, iron-plated armor, move with a mechanical precision, their faces hidden behind grim helmets. They grip long spears, the tips occasionally scraping the ceiling as they march. As you are herded through, you can feel that the ground is slightly inclined. And you are always turning left, meaning you are circling around something. Eventually you reach the heart of the arena's machinery : massive gears and pulleys groan and clank, supporting the wooden ceiling above, where wells of sunlight are falling from strategically placed mirrors. Nearby, slaves toil silently as they haul heavy loads or stoke the fires that power the arena's devices. This is also a waiting area, wide enough for dozens of men.\n\nOn the right side, series of cages are lined up. Inside, the beasts stir. These are no ordinary creatures, but grotesque, magically-mutated monstrosities. You can see glimps of the ones closer to the iron bars : some are amalgamations of various animals, their forms twisted and fused. Others are just normal predators, at least as far as can be seen but you doubt it is so. For each is there to inspire a sense of exotic dread among the public, reminding them of what lurks beyond Slysummit's walls, of why so many patrols are needed, the taxes so high, the food so expensive and the law so harsh. One cage holds a hulking mass of fur and scales, its body a hideous blend of bear and crocodile, its maw lined with jagged teeth that seem to glow faintly in the dim light. Another houses a serpent with the talons of an eagle and the venomous stinger of a scorpion, its coiled body covered in iridescent feathers that shimmer unsettlingly. As Saber pass near, the bear-crocodile lets out a bone-chilling roar, its serpentine eyes locking onto the illusionist with a predatory gaze. This prompt a chuckle from one of the guards. \n Guard : \"-It likes you, boy. Alright, aaaaand... Halt !\" \n You've reached the base of a steep slope, leading to the arena’s pit. At the top, a massive, rusted iron gate stands close. The air here is dry and carries the faint scent of sand and blood, a sharp contrast to the damp corridors behind. You can feel the heat from the arena seeping through the gaps and the distant roar of the crowd. The area is better lit and you can now see clearly everyone. There are about twenty prisoners and eight guards, two of which are now removing the chains from each of you, probably readying you to climb into the arena.\n\nWhat do you look like, what can others see when they look at you ?\nWhat are your thoughts, words and actions ?

Her doughy legs are peppered with stubble.\n\nNot trusting the dungeon's floors, Constance has already fashioned some strips from her prison gown into protective wraps for her feet, revealing even more of her legs and shoulders than usual. These outfits are clearly meant to be torn apart at some point, so maybe that was an intended feature.\n\nIn your confinement with her, she's sometimes talked about the dungeon's features and history, just to have a topic of conversation.

It would be easy to write this off as prison life already getting to her, because it was, but it's still not much of a leap from her usual personality.\n\nSo, it kind of makes some sense that even a rich scholar like her would get locked up for saying the wrong thing too many times. Or for not being friends with enough of the right people. Or for having something in her collection that someone else secretly wanted. Whichever. She hasn't found out herself, yet.

Others scattered into the hills and woods and others tried their luck across the great river never to be heard of.\nThen the king became obsessed with his steppe campaign to the east.

The way dungeons are presented in official books just irk me, they're unfun to run and prepare at least on my end. However ever since trying out Isometric Dungeons (2.5D Dungeons with a side view) that fit in a single page with information either on the page itself or in a 2nd page next to it I've found a form of adoration for their simplicity and ease of use especially in fitting a consistent 4 combat encounters (usually 1-2 hard with another hard encounter and then a deadly with a ''boss'' at the end) in that fill up a typical adventuring day budget.\n\nThe ability to run a dungeon in just 1-2 sessions and then being able to have a roleplay session right after where the characters enjoy the fruit of their labor is just amazing and works far FAR better than the slog that official dungeons tend to be. This, as I've been experiencing for around 12 sessions deep into this campaign, feels like i'm running actual Dungeons and Dragons without any added issues that burn me out or make either myself or the players not enjoy the game.\n\nIsometric Dungeons add a level of visual depth to the game and makes handling mechanics like flight make far more sense that I honestly feel like I can never go back to playing on a flat 2D map anymore.\n\nHave any of you ever tried Isometric Dungeons before? If so, do you prefer them over flat 2D maps?"

You are sure to notice real improvements if you have an effective plan to improve your skin's health.\n\nYou may not immediately notice but there are benefits in using a face moisturizer each day, like the best moisturizer for oily skin you can find, if such is your skin type that is. You may start with a natural face moisturizer if you are not sure if your skin has special needs or none. Moisturizers play a great role in helping you look younger.\n\nBaking soda and other household items can also help you with your skin care needs. Make a paste by mixing baking soda with water and apply to pimples overnight, or use it as natural face moisturizer. You can also make a styling gel this way, for usage on your scalp.\n\nSee to it that you learn how to make lip balm or hydrating treatment yourself, to effectively soothe chapped lips. The list of the best lip balms today always includes a natural lip balm product. Combine sour cream, honey and cucumber, and apply the mixture to the lips for a quarter of an hour. After this, wash your lips and rub them with almond oil.\n\nPutting on sunscreen is likewise a simple way of taking good care of your skin - which can really go a long way away. The sun is probably the most damaging threat to healthy skin.\n\nUsing sunscreen beneath foundation is quite a good way to combat the slow but sure damage that the sun brings upon. Another way to accomplish this is to purchase a good powder foundation that already has SPF - sun protective ingredient - in it.\n\nStart out by trying the tips presented here to begin your journey to healthy, beautiful skin!"
