Not only does the party now own a hadrosaurus, but Therin was quick to use his druid skills to gain a new beast shape. The four goons left, and Dengo was quick to relinquish his racing dinosaur to the party. With the full debt paid, there was neither a fight nor CHA checks needed. Dengo owed Ifan the tidy sum of 40gp, and failed to win in any recent races to earn the money.Īfter a bit of back and forth, Khaless simply threw a coin bag with the full amount at the goons, shocking everyone – including me! Poor Therin and Mannix had literally thrown all their money at the dragon turtle encounter, creating an apparently huge wealth disparity between the party. It also very much changed the power level of the party, and how they approached different situations in this session.Īll three of them engaged in some diplomacy as they learned of the situation. It was easy story-wise since we were in the middle of a city and with milestone XP we don’t have to worry about anyone missing out on progress. I made the decision to simply keep Gillian and George out of the session. Khaless went stealth mode while Mannix and Therin actually strode right up to them. A jockey was beating beaten by a group of goons from Merchant Prince Ifan, and his hadrosaurus was in the middle of being repo’d. When passing by an alleyway near the docks, they heard the sounds of a struggle. They went towards the Temple of Savras since they’re all looking for something or someone, and Savras’ divination could prove useful. My PCs don’t have much money (or so I thought) so there wasn’t much shopping to be done around the marketplace or Grand Souk. I told them the guides would be available later for proper interviews. Obviously Hew Hackinstone is of particular interest to my group, since I made him part of Therin’s backstory and personal quest.

I showed each guide’s handout, with the option to follow up with the innkeeper on each one.

In the lobby area of the Thundering Lizard Inn, they found a notice board that included details on the guides, the dinosaur races, and the Temple of Savras. The PCs reached level 2 after their first long rest in Port Nyanzaru. In this week’s session we learned about the various guides the PCs can hire, teased the upcoming dinosaur race, and visited the Temple of Savras, which lead to multiple quest chains – including a rather thrilling rescue mission around Executioner’s Run. I’ve read and seen many reports of players getting out of Port Nyanzaru as fast as possible to begin their jungle excursion, but I was ready to relish this unique city by throwing several major events and quest chains for my PCs. Shopping, hiring guides, racing dinosaurs, and lots of interesting quest hooks. As the only major city in the entire campaign, Port Nyanzaru has a lot to offer.
