STASH OF THE PIGMEN
5 ogre
sized pigmen (AC 6; 4hd; Dex 9; HP 12, 18, 24, 23, 14 ): skin like kidskin
gloves, pink like baby’s. Their faces are all different some mostly resembling
a pig with human features and some mostly resembling a human with pig features.
Their bodies are covered in stretchmarks. Their stomachs are bloated and
distended. They are engaged in pig-like rooting behavior through the piles of
goods scattered throughout the room.
Piles of high quality goods: Bolts
of silk, skeins of high quality yarn, silver dowsing rods, a triptych depicting
the ascension of Donblas The Justicemaker, silver urns, several pounds of tea,
dried exotic fruit, several amphorae of wine, a brass brazier. The goods are
not being stored properly. Moisture is
slowly ruining them and the pigmen won’t leave them unmolested.
The goods were stolen from Nupo the
gnome and he is willing to pay 1,200gp for their return to a polite party. A
party in a large city that spends significant effort could potentially get
twice that for the goods over the course of a few weeks.
IN PLAY
Nupo is a
known entity in my campaign. The party was on their way to meet him when they
stumbled upon this room. The pigmen killed three henchmen but were unable to
get any party members. The party was all too happy to take the 1,200gp from
Nupo, who also let them sleep in his basement.
SIDE NOTE
I pronounced “brazier” like “brassiere” well into adulthood.
I learned the word from DDA4, “The Dymrak Dread” and never heard it pronounced.
Also “The Dymrak Dread” is the adventure
I ran at one of my elementary school birthday parties. The party favors were
miniatures
