- Special Travel Rules
- [SHOW]
- Per the Player Handbook, standard daily travel would be 10 hours per day, with distance traveled (in miles) equaling 5x the speed of the slowest person. For the current party, that means a daily travel distance of 25 miles a day (Drake's speed of 5 multiplied by 5), or 2.5 miles per hour.
This amount of travel will be the baseline we use for daily travel, but it won't be the maximum possible amount; after all there, are 24 hours in a day and with the current sleep rotation (taking 9 hours total) there are 5 not-accounted-for hours in the day, and it does not take that long to eat. Assuming a total of 1 hour total used for eating/restroom breaks, that means there are 4 free hours each day if traveling at normal speed.
So, I figure that each day you will have a choice: travel only at most 10 hours and be perfectly fine the next day to do the same, or try to push further at the same speed (2.5 miles per hour, in normal terrain) for up to 4 more hours in 1-hour intervals. The benefit of this is potentially-further travel with no downside, but there is also the risk of over-exerting yourself in the process. If a player becomes over-exerted, then until the end of their second extended rest after becoming over-exerted they lose one speed point. This means, essentially, that once over-exerted a player spends the rest of that day, and all of the next day, at one less than their normal speed (5 if normally 6, 4 if normally 5, and so on). Over-exertion does not stack intensity, but duration instead: each failure adds another day to its effect.
Over-exertion Skill Challenge:
DC: 12 (will increase at every even level)
At the start of each hour past the 10 hour mark, every player rolls an endurance check to see if they become over-exerted. Each hour past this mark modifies your endurance check as follows:
1 hour: -0
2 hours: -3
3 hours: -6
4 hours: -10
Anything above 4 hours would mess up the next day's schedule, but if the party wants to shoot for more then they take the -10 penalty for each subsequent hour.
Success has no benefit other than a longer distance traveled. Failure results in over-exertion, as described above.

- Locations and Lore
- [SHOW]
- Tulrisse

- Castle Halstos/Twin River
One of the smaller port cities, situated between the mouths of both major rivers.
Erlfeld
Holdfast
Better Image
A major trade hub between Peloth, Erlfeld, Blackstead, and Oak Crossing. As a result, it is the second wealthiest city in the north, after Peloth. It also features a major temple to the entire Tulrissian pantheon, which is the only temple in the land dedicated to all five gods.
Volberg
The Violet Keep
Entrance
The Streets
Darden's Hold
The most formidable castle-town in Tulrisse, Darden's Hold is situated on an unusual rock outcropping in the middle of what is otherwise a very flat landscape.
Red Bridge
A fortified bridge and small town that serves as the main crossing for one of the two major rivers in Tulrisse.
Oak Crossing
A peaceful fishing village built next to and old, yet sturdy, wooden bridge that has served as a major river crossing for centuries.
Spearpoint Castle
Garland
Streets
A place known for its artists and poets, but also for its fierce forest rangers that patrol the nearby woodlands to keep the town safe. The city possesses many winding roads that were designed around the natural landscape, making navigation a bit difficult, especially for newcomers. It is full of plant life and has many wealthy inhabitants, some of whom flock to the city as center of culture and commerce in southern Tulrisse.
It is currently ruled by the Jont family, from the Castle of the Sun located at the edge of town. Before that the Solrane family was in power, and even before that was the Wellesly family, who founded the city. The former is all but gone, with only Cyrus surviving, though the latter still continues to feature prominently, living in their Weeping Willow Estate in the center of town.
Blackstead
A rather depressing town at the edge of the Great Swamp, and the location of the main temple of Inara.
Greywood
A quiet logging town situated towards the center of the southern half of Tulrisse. Most of the wood used throughout southern Tulrisse comes from here, so there is never any shortage of work to be done.
Menora
A town full of eccentric people, and rumored to be the home of some magically-inclined individuals. Menora is also a major trade hub that connects the counties of Tulrisse with the nearby dwarven kingdom of Bal, and by extension the other dwarven kingdoms as well.
Peloth
A mercantile port city that employs a vast network of spies throughout Tulrisse, intent on keeping allied with the other lordships while keeping them at each other's throats so that war never comes to Peloth's doorstep.
Virem
The largest of the port cities on Tulrisse's western coast. Most of the trade routes connecting the expansive farmlands of southern Tulrisse with the world's other nations originate here.
Eranor
A port city in the south of Tulrisse, near the edge of Sorrow's Marsh. This relatively small city, when compared to the other ports in the region, primarily trades with Crescent Bluff in Serran, though it also trades with other places in Serran as well as some of the more ambitious settlements in and around Sorrow's Marsh.

- Day 3
- [SHOW]
- The party finally arrived in Garland, only to learn that the Lord Jont is not seeing anyone at that time. After splitting up and asking around, they discovered that a witch was plaguing Garland and threatened to steal the Lord's children. They decided that something had to be done about this witch before moving on. Map.
- Day 4
- [SHOW]
- The party goes to the Wellesly Estate to learn more about the children already taken by the witch. Once there they are tricked and captured by the suspicious Walter Wellesly, but once convinced of the group's good intentions he releases them and hires them to find and safely return his missing children.
After leaving the Wellesly Estate, the party hires the woodsman Cormic to lead their search into the woods. After spending the remainder of the day scouring the forest, they stop to rest in a clearing and are attacked by the night creatures at their camp. Map.
- Day 5
- [SHOW]
- After some early-morning drama between Rorin, Embla, and Cormic, the group heads out for the day, but is quickly met with a thick fog covering the forest. Moving forward, the group finds the corpse of one of Wellesly's men carrying a note in Imardanian about keeping 'them' safe, presumably his children.
Shortly after disposing of the corpse, the group is ambushed in the fog by some wolves. They follow their tracks to a larger set of tracks and are greeted by a mysterious woman, who, after some discussion, kidnaps Caelen and sends some more wolves and a bear to attack them.
After the second bout, the group rushes after the elf boy to find a cottage in the woods, and upon entry they find a large hallway full of statues deep underground. Inside, they catch the woman - the witch, it turns out - as she is making a move on their friend. After another fight, the woman is left dead and it is revealed that her statues were actually her victims turned to stone, as they come back to life. The group uses some cloth from the home to fashion makeshift clothing for the nude people - two of whom appear to be Wellesly's young daughters, and another the legendary hero Cyrus Solrane - before calling it a night, planning to leave at first light the next day. Map.
- Day 6
- [SHOW]
- The morning is spent briefly exploring a previously-hidden room located through a trapdoor underneath the bed in the witch's cottage. Afterwards, the group - now quite large, with all the witch's victims in tow - heads back to Garland led by Cormic. They manage to reach the city shortly before nightfall.
Once in the city, the three noblemen go to see Lord Jont while the rest of the group heads to Wellesly's Estate for their reward. The noblemen receive the Lord's support for their cause, who pledges to immediately send troops to aid the regions to the west. Meanwhile, Rorin and the others learn from Wellesly of a possible conspiracy involving Lord Jont secretly supporting Imardin's conquest.
When the groups are done, they meet back up and return to the Castle of the Sun for the night to sleep. While most head straight to bed, Rorin decides to search the castle for clues that could point to the truth of Wellesly's claims. However, before the man is able to find anything of use he is caught and imprisoned by the castle guard. Map.
- Day 7
- [SHOW]
- The group finally makes it out of the forest, only to come across and be attacked by a group of highwaymen posing as members of the Volberg Raptor Corps. The group is easily dispatched, and tokens removed from their bodies to prove their identities to the local authorities.
Up the road they encounter a small family, recent victims of the same highwaymen, and offer to escort them to the Violet Keep. That night, however, a large force of night creatures and a giant spider attack the party while setting camp, and the woman of the family is greatly injured. She is stabilized enough to make it through the night, but no one knows for sure if she will make it all the way to the Volberg capital. Map.
- Day 8
- [SHOW]
- The party makes the rest of the trip to the Violet Keep village without conflict, getting the woman to a healer and parting ways from the family. For a bit they split up, with Lord Aerden, Ser Valcus, and Zara traveling to the castle to meet with the Lord von Trahl, and the others staying in the market to do their own thing.
In the castle the trio meet with the lord, a friendly encounter that leads to the hassle-free securing of Volberg's support in the war. In the market, Caelen and Embla both visit different shops while Rorin goes off with a man who turns out to be another member of the Peloth spy network. The man manages to learn a bit about the politics of the region, before meeting back up with everyone in the market.
As night falls the group heads back to the castle, for food and lodging. There they enjoy a great feast with the lord's family before retiring to the guest quarters of the castle. The peaceful, and beneficial, meeting then turns sour as the Lord and Lady are murdered in their sleep that very same night. The lords's son, who also serves as Captain of the region's miltiary, suspects Rorin of the crime and has him locked up. The rest of the group returns to bed, plotting ways to clear their comrade's name the following day. Map.
- Day 9
- [SHOW]
- Zara stays in the castle to prepared the bodies of the Lord and Lady von Trahl for their funeral while the rest of the party ventured into town to clear Rorin's name. There they meet a priest at the temple of Fausta and encountered another murder in the streets. Embla is able to follow the residual magical energy from the spell that caused the death to an abandoned home.
In the home the party encounter a robed man with the Lady Tasha tied to a chair. However, as they try to talk the man into releasing his hostage things turn sour and the party attacks. Tasha reveals her kidnap to be a ruse and attacks back, revealing herself and the man to be Imardanian agents. They fight fiercely and manage to escape. The party is unable to pursue, but the attack is witnessed by some Raptor Corps, giving them the proof they need to release Rorin.
Meanwhile, Rorin was approached and threatened by Wilhelm von Trahl in his cell. He is taunted by some of the prisoners, who had low opinions of the late Lord, and tries unsuccessfully to try to escape his confinement. Eventually the party comes to release him, having proven his innocence.
Back at the castle the newly appointed Lord Wilhelm is informed of his fiancees treachery and prepares for war. The party is then met by Cyrus, who informs them of a dire situation arising in Garland. While Wilhelm prepares his Raptor Corps to march, the group heads out of town to buy horses and continue on to Garland. They make quick time, arriving by nightfall. There they spend the night in the illustrious White Stag inn in Garland. Map.
- Day 10
- [SHOW]
- In the morning the group heads to visit Lord Jont, but is unable to reach the castle due to an angry mob, formed of citizens who've heard rumors the Lord is working with the Imardanians. The group instead heads to the Wellelsly Estate, where Wellesly provides evidence to support the mob's cause. The group follows up on a lead to investigate Lord Jont's manor, in hopes of finding proof of these claims.
The group is told by Wellesly of a rumored secret tunnel into the castle, used to escape in times of war. The group tries unsuccessfully to find Cormic once more, hoping he would know of the tunnel, but they cannot find him. They venture out into the forest on their own, where Rorin stumbles across some ribbons marking a path to the tunnel entrance. Once regrouped the party follows the path.
At the tunnel the weather begins to turn and the group enters the tunnel hastily, avoiding some unknown menace stalking them. There they find Cormic, who'd been hiding out in the tunnel after gaining his reward from Wellesly. He and the party take the path and find an exit inside the castle stairwell, where they are able to make their way to the Lord's chambers unnoticed. There they find a secret study, and in a drawer they find a forged Wellesly seal, used to create the fake orders.
Proof in hand, the group quickly retreats and returns to town. They tell Wellesly, who accompanies the group to the Ranger headquarters to inform them of the situation. Captain Stroeker, once he is made aware, leads his men into the castle during the night to confront and arrest Lord Jont. While he does so the party retires for the night, confident they did the right thing. Map.
- Day 11
- [SHOW]
- The party awakes to news that Jont has been arrested and dethroned. As they prepare to continue back to Greywood to make good on Lord Lorkan's promise to join their cause with enough foreign support, Cyrus informs the group he will stay behind to lead Garland with Wellesly in the absence of a Lord. The Garland Rangers are preparing for departure when the group makes their way into the woods and begins heading back to Greywood.
For awhile the trek is uneventful. However, towards nightfall the group encounters a group of refugees and a Night Priestess being plagued by more undead, this time lead by an apparently-intelligent one. The group manages to defeat the creatures, though not without half of the refugees dying. They continue on their way, hoping the group will be safe.
As they continue to travel the weather worsens and the sounds of a creature stalking them return, like the ones they'd heard the night before. They push until they are exhausted, trying their best to outrun the beast. Eventually they can go no further and rest in the middle of the road, hoping for the best. Map.
