The Copperlode
Hex 08.01
Connects to: 07.18, 11.03 and 26.20.07.
Recently Elwen the Snickersnee (07.18) and a company of Browncloaks, including a one-legged gnomish illusionist, a crowfolk ratter (26.20.07) and a masked deep dwarven (33.00) machinist, returned from the Draugmere Peaks, their hirelings bent beneath the weight of the loot that they carried. The lot of them are now drinking themselves blind at Farnsfall (11.03) and telling tall tales about the hidden dragon cave they looted and the vast mountain of copper pennies that they couldn’t be bothered to take with them.
This has roused the greed of some of the locals for, while they are not brave men, a backpack full of coppers is more money than they can make working for Baron Farnsfall.
Hooks:
- Is there really a huge heap of copper coins as Elwen claims?
- Did they really kill a dragon?
- Who are the Browncloaks exactly? How did Elwen round up such a mix of races? Why a crowfolk ratter?
