Maze Rats Anomalous Subsurface Environment
After fighting some mushrooms in the ASE, the party got bored and decided to take their gold and go shopping in Denethix. They bought some baby grunkies, war dogs, and potions, looked at their map, found a random ruin, and headed out to explore it.
They encountered some drunk dirt-farmers on the road.
Dirt-farmer: "We don't take kindly to city-slickers 'round these parts."
Super-Elf: "I stab him with my sword."
Poppy the Moktar: "They're just farmers. We can't kill them."
Dirt-farmer (to the Moktars): "We don't like yer kind, Moktar. Git off this here land of ours. You too, elf. Humans only 'round here."
Mad Scientist: "I'm a human."
Dirt-farmer: "Got no use fer yer science and book-learnin' out here, Mr. Fancy-pants scientist."
Mad Scientist: "We kill them."
Poppy the Moktar: "I send my war dog to attack." rolls boxcars
DM: "Your dog rips his throat out."
Clearly the party is unaware of the "Denethix Dependencies Rustic Charm and Demi-Human Abatement Act", and how could they be as it is illegal for any individual not a member or employee of the Council of Proper Apportionment, Star Chambers, Denethix Bench and Bar or Unyielding Fist to own, read or have detailed knowledge of the laws and regulations of Denethix,which recently crossed the Vizer's desk.
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a hint - it clearly states in section 12 (a) that "Humans of a rustic disposition or employed in a traditionally rural occupation may 'accost' and 'malign' [see subsections 18 (a-hh) for definitions] travelers as long as such actions are limited to the subjects of 'non-human parentage', 'cosmopolitan immorality and vice', 'disloyalty to the values of Fethera and the Vizership', 'propensity for beastiality' or 'personal deformity'. Any act to 'delay', 'prevent', 'circumvent' or 'seek revenge' for such protected acts is a class C red-red crime against the person of the Vizer and may be tried in absentia with or without witnesses. The Vizer is just however and the sentence is limited to only 5 years hard labor or 2 years combat service in the Unyielding Fist Auxiliaries (with time off for acts of heroism) on the Certopsian Front."
Oh and that law doesn't apply in Retennis and it's surrounding estates or to Denethix Citizens.
There was some discussion that they were now murderers, but they came to the conclusion that with no witnesses, there can be no crime. So they killed the farmer that had surrendered and offered to work for them.
ReplyDeleteGus L did you ever put anything in the ruins North of Gansett?
ReplyDeleteCasey G. Nah - my players were never enamored with Gansett and it's scenic mold paddies.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd totally be reasonable going slime themed there. Or maybe it's just a spot where the Barbarians of the Worthless North worship a giant statue off their rocket ship/bomb god?
