And so Catriona ‘The Blue Hand’ L’More enters the story once again. Sharing a similar quest for vengeance for family and tribe lost at the hands of others. In a strange turn of events, she befriended and now travels with Othimiirthalser in an effort to track down those that wronged them.

The barbarian woman stands tall, head and shoulders above both men and women. She holds herself proud, with the confidence of a warrior not easily vested in combat.
“We don’t worry ourselves with the petty squabbles between man, dwarf, and elf. We fight for our own concerns.”
As she speaks, the young blue dragon, not far from adulthood, rises to his feet from a resting spot behind her. Wings stretching out in a show of size, his deep, booming voice continues where the barbarians left off.
“And our concerns are of no concern to you.”

As Othimiirthalser came to trust Catriona, a trust that went both ways, they promised one another that they would seek out those who had wronged each of them and right the damage done.
The barbarian woman would enter outposts, villages, towns, and cities to seek out clues and leads something that as you may imagine wouldn’t be as easy for a dragon. They followed these leads Northeast through the mountains and as the trust between them grew the dragon made the barbarian an offer that would put him in great risk.

As the bond between the two travelling companions continued to grow along with their mutual want for revenge, Othimiirthalser made the dangerous decision, for a dragon of his young years, to imbue upon the barbarian the powers of the Dragon Touched.
A ritual that would be dangerous for him and leave him in a weak state for several weeks to follow. The payoff being that his companion would be on the receiving end of magical powers which came to the forefront when she flew into a rage during combat.
This combined with a gift from his mother’s treasure hoard, a great sword known as Thunders Kiss, made the barbarian woman almost as much of a threat as the dragon himself.

This young Blue Dragon, on the verge of adulthood travels East through the Northern Mountains and is both feared, respected by those that cross paths with him. Known as Stormbringers Vengeance he seeks revenge for the brutal slaying of his mother by a group of so called “adventurers”.

Although Othimiirthalser, his given Dragon name, realises that because of their treasure-hoarding nature, their kind will always be targeted by others seeking to claim both the fortune and fame that defeating them in battle comes with. He is still young enough, however, to take such an attack on his family personally, especially one so horrifically executed. So claiming and moving what remained of his mother’s treasure hoard to his own lair, he then began tracking down those that, in his eyes, had wronged his family.

Although he is not as violent towards the more common races of the world as most of his kind tend to be, Going out of his way to avoid conflict if at all possible. There are times that his quest for vengeance requires talking to others in the search for clues as to his quarry’s location.
Difficult you may imagine, given that he is a large dragon, however it is for this reason Othimiirthalser doesn’t travel alone…

**This one is based on a home-brewed Kelpie from Scottish folklore. I’ll post my original monster stat block for it in my stories if interested.**

From a distance, the Kelpie most of the time resembles and can be mistaken for a larger-than-normal horse. Almost always spotted around or near bodies of water which are rough and difficult for people to traverse.
Upon closer inspection, the Kelpie is actually dark green in colour with a mane and tail resembling seaweed which almost seems to move of its own free will.

The reality of The Kelpie is much darker than initial perception leads one to believe. As far from a horse in every aspect other than its form that it can be, this dangerous water spirit lures victims in by offering aid in crossing dangerous stretches of water before attempting to ensnare them and drag them down into the dark depths.

This particular Kelpie is rumoured to have been seen lurking twenty to thirty miles south of the Gart’Moran Sea where a river sharing the seas name runs wild over falls and rapids.
Those aware of the creature’s existence are quick to warn travellers of the dangers whilst others claim The Kelpie to be nothing more than folklore and a warning to those to be wary of treacherous waters.

The Powerful Magic Wielders from across the planes Part 1. Magic users come in all shapes and sizes across the realms and planes of existence. Some can be obvious in appearance, others not quite as much. The one in question here and now is known by many names and titles, some more familiar than others. Iggwilv, Tasha, Natasha, or Zybilna are all names associated with the woman in question.

The appearance of Tasha is often debated between those that claim to have met her many claiming she is a woman of ravishing beauty with others claiming the person they met resembled a bald and hideous crone. The truth is that in her youth Iggwilv was a raven haired beauty an appearance that most agree she somehow still resembles mayhaps through magical means.

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve burned everything to the ground and started over” ~Tasha~

However, no matter her true name or appearance, most who have met her can give the same advice. Treat this powerful Archfey with the respect she is due, as the Queen of Witches won’t soon forget those who cross her path bearing ill will towards her.

After three days of searching, Nilft and Clarabelle track down and uncover where the nuisance griffon is nesting. They observe the creature for some time, determining its hunting patterns and the best time to put their plan into action. The next step was to persuade the farmers to give them a goat to use as bait, and once the trap is sprung, the duo sweep into action with Nilft flying into a rage and drawing first blood!

Surprised and angered by the barbarian charging him from a hiding place, the griffon turns his attention from the screaming goat to the screaming figure striking at him with a greatsword. Bringing his razor-sharp talons down, one of them bites deeply into a blocking forearm. Before the slightly off-balance figure can strike with steel again, the griffon follows up by biting into the wild swordsman’s shoulder, tasting blood and thinking this may be a better meal than first anticipated. However, the sword-wielding half-elf appears to be more resilient than most other prey, not being slowed by the griffin’s normally deadly attacks.

Before the Griffin even realises that it is in fact up against two opponents rather than one, Clarabelle has got herself into position and loosed two arrows from her longbow. Both projectiles hit their intended target and the creature, realising that it’s in real danger, launches itself into the air with a flap of its wings. Nilft the Barbarian realising what’s happening takes an opportunistic attack with his sword but swings short, hitting nothing but feathers. Clarabelle, keeping her head held high, has a surge of action and unleashes another two arrows, the second of which proves deadly as the Griffin falls to the ground defeated!

Griffons in and around the woods are more common than most think although they tend to stick to rocky and cliff like locations. The greater numbers of these monstrosities can be found on the Southern coast of the waters. They are opportunistic hunters and if the people of the area and travellers alike are smart thy can in general be avoided completely.
That of course is not to say Griffons aren’t a danger to the people of the area, and the commonality of them gravitating towards civilisation increases when there is a plentiful supply of livestock. This particular Griffon has gravitated up the east coast of the sea towards the Gart’Moran Farms and taken up residence on the nearby cliff faces.
From here he has progressed from being a pest to a problem feasting on cattle, sheep and horses to a danger as he begins making swooping passes at farmers. Although there has been no fatalities beyond livestock losses most believe it to be a matter of time.
The farmers have sent out an urgent request for aid.

The people of the North can be a lot hardier too, having to deal with harsher climates. Among them are the many Barbarian tribes from the Goliath Half Giants in the North East, the more civilised Human tribes to the west, and a mixed lot in between. A lost soul from the West, Catriona ‘The Blue Hand’ L’More, finds herself on the path of vengeance.

Moving East through the Mountains, Cat is on the trail of revenge against the more savage mixed-raced barbarian tribes who attacked and almost wiped out her own tribe.
She doesn’t do so unaided however, with the great sword known as ‘Thunders Kiss’ in hand and magical powers bestowed upon her by a powerful creature. The proverbial road ahead, although arduous, is made a little easier with these gifts bestowed upon her.

Even with the weapon and powers at her disposal, the journey of revenge upon which Catriona finds herself is a deadly undertaking for any man or woman to attempt alone. Luckily for her, she doesn’t travel alone. The being that gifted her both ‘Thunders Kiss’ and her powers travels alongside her, sharing her want for vengeance. The identity of her travelling partner, however, is a tale for another day.

Two hundred and fifty miles, give or take a few, North of the Gart’Moran Woods lie The Oakhaels a range of towering mountains. The Mountains are home to among other things the Dwarves and Barbarian tribes. Other life up this way can be a lot more hardy and a lot more dangerous. This includes a numerous dragons old and young of many colours, here we see a young Green Dragon Wrymling on the hunt.

This wyrmling is only around 46 years old. This is relatively young for a dragon; however, he is already an apex predator in the area he has chosen to call home.
Like other chromatic and metallic dragons, they can be mistaken by those uneducated in their ways for mindless killing terrors. The reality, however, is that dragons are highly intelligent, which in a way makes them even more dangerous, especially if you anger them!

This little green, although extremely dangerous, is in survival mode at this young age. If left unchecked and in peace for another fifty years or so, he will grow to rule the surrounding area and claim it as his own. His only real threat at this point and then would be adventurers looking to claim to his treasures and fame that came from slaying him, or of course, another dragon.

Clarabelle realises that some situations within the woods require a little more muscle. Although her skills with the bow are well beyond that of most others and she is more than proficient in the use her long sword, some jobs just need that little extra touch of… rage.
In these cases she reaches out to long term friend and fellow protector of those living here the Half Elf Barbarian we met early on in our Journey here, Nilft.

The pair started working together when one of the main roads connecting the farms and fishing towns on the North side of the sea was plagued with a series of bear attacks carried out by an animal much larger and more aggressive than others of its kind.
They realised that taking the animal would require a much more concerted effort.
In time they became good friends and came to travel and work together more often than not. Clarabelle taught Nilft about areas of the woods he hadn’t explored. Nilft in turn entrusted the knowledge of the fey gates location and potential dangers it could bring.

The more the pair work together the better they get on. It’s now at the point where the duo will seek work as a team rather than solo.

One such adventurer who takes on the job of keeping the population of some of the more invasive and dangerous wildlife under control, whilst at the same time allowing it to thrive where it should, is the human hunter and fighter Clarabelle. Sometimes referred to as Clarabelle the Brave by those living in communities within and around the woods.
These communities have hired her and her trusty bow many times to protect both their livelihoods and, on some occasions, their lives from encroaching dangers when they stray from deeper within the woods.

Growing up in Fisherman’s Cross, one of the nearby towns within the woods, Clarabelle spent her childhood and younger years exploring the forests. There aren’t many areas of the Gart’Moran that she is not familiar with.
Her more adult years were spent hunting and acting as a protector of those living in the towns and villages in the area.

Smaller threats to the surrounding communities Clarabelle, and likeminded residents can in general handle solo.
However there are dangers in present in the woods that can and do require a little…

The wolves of the woods are active all year round with plentiful supplies of prey during any season. Although they generally target smaller animals it has become more and more common for larger and older packs to target those working and travelling in the woods.

Because the Wolves of these woods are active all year round they are large in size. Opportunistic hunters they will hunt prey of all sizes so it is not only the small animals such as our fox friend being targeted. They will target the likes of deer and wild boar and even smaller bears as well as posing a threat to livestock nearer civilised areas.

It’s when the wolves begin becoming a threat to those living, working or travelling in and around the woods that they become a problem rather than inhabitants of the forest. When his happens adventures are hired to hunt them and try to control them without damaging too much their population.
