A rhyme of Beogron

Of the Flesh

A man is more than flesh and bone

In idols should not call his home.

When he has passed beyond the grave

Then we shall see how plainly brave

A man he is without his things

His clothes, his jewels, his gold, his rings.

When he has passed beyond the flesh

Bare naked with no hav'n of rest

Then we shall see how stalwart be

This man of mortal fame we see.

What fame shall help him over there

What renown shall keep him from the chair

Of fair Justice, Judgement keen?

The eyes of El shall plainly glean

The true heart of this mortal beast.

Evil fare and wicked feast

devour the good 'twas planted there

in whiter times now out of care.

El meant us to be good and pure

but in us malice has taken o'er.

To enjoy and worship well

The land provided 'tween N'sysqueedor and Hell

Is what we were designed to do

Be right, be good, be white, be true

But the cold North Wind hath swept down

and put the mortal race to ground.

A man is more than things and toys.

Great strength 'gainst evil should employ

if true fame is what he desire

the joy of right shall quench the fire

of the place between the hills

where the dark god drinks his fill

of the blood of good men he's caused to fall

upon the spikes atop the wall

round his dark tower far from here.

We'll see it if we stop and stare

in ourselves -- a massive, great

black constellation of dread and hate.

Root it out, root it out

like a hog with truffle snout

bring it up above the ground

into a land of light and sound

bring the Winds of East and West

to push the North Wind to its rest

And be a true man that El will save

In the Dying of the Age.

An evil man with much platinum

Shall not be spared when Eledor come.

--Beogron Liannyrothynn, Master of the West Wind

Leader: Jimmy Wales -- M G T5

Current Plan: The assassination of the Sheriff of Gribbland (the traditional leader of the Gribblets).

Jack Froad: He was being a bard at an inn that happened to hold the secret society HQ in the basement. He got into the society HQ by stumbling in, and was caught reading some materials. He fast-talked his way out of it, but Jimmy Wales then noticed that the membership file was missing. Jack also stumbled upon some written notes for the assassination plan.

15. They reach the Hill Goblin Cave, and they meet a dying kobold outside. If they help the kobold, then she will show them into the cave through a backdoor, which will take them directly to the throne room. It is dusk the night of a full moon (the end of the fourth month of the calendar) when the PCs arrive at the entrance of the cave. (At this point about two weeks of in game time have passed).

16. In the throne room, they will find 20 goblins, and the remains of 10 adventurers. They will also find the girl centaur strapped to a table with the Ritual of the Dark Mountain being performed over her (The Dark Mountain is an aspect of Mahai (NNW, CE). The Dark Dwarf, the Southern Farmer and a 5 other centaur children from Yasp are all in the chamber with the High Priest of Dark Mountain. If the characters win, then they will break up a sentient sacrifice and slave trading ring.

17. If the characters are caught and put in the jail in the throne room, then the Goblin Prince will tell them everything of this plans to "harvest" the children for the work of Mahai and to satiate him. From here, the characters must use their wits to escape.

18. When the characters return the Farmer's daughter to Yasp, they will find that a note is waiting there for them. The modivi, Byumyunic Sena knows that they will return there. "Governor Dymo has been deposed for injustice and corruption. Many cases before yours did he try with his own interests in mind. Thou art pardoned for the success of thy mission. Come to the palace, for an audience. I have spoken."

19. Characters are welcomed back to Yasp with flowers in the street and a parade. Young centaurs put Holly Crowns upon the characters' heads. All bow to the characters in a classic centaur show of courtesy. A guard of centaurs escorts the characters through the streets. When they reach the palace, they are treated to a feast.

20. The Modivi explains that Dymo had been corrupt and unjust for years, and their case was just the last in a string of cases. The Modivi wants to know the exact circumstances of their mission. When the characters explain about the Farmer, the Black Dwarf, the Goblins and Hrushka, the Modivi is moved beyond words to tears. He motions for them to kneel and he knights them all by tapping each shoulder with the flat of his broadsword blade and praying to God. "By El on his celestial throne, I knight thee, Lord Protector of the Realm of Aindyspyd and Peer, Arise." He then thinks for a minute silently and gives the characters the duty to protect the construction of the new castle at Wyvern Abbey. The castle is far east into the White Moutains between Dwanyos and Magrel to protect the road and drive out the Scourge of the Moutians." This is the kings order, the characters cannot refuse.
