Rotgrind - Narrative Declaration

A Corrosive Vacation

An acid lake. A ruined church. Beach umbrellas sized for fey. The party turns a wraith-haunted hazard zone into a spa day — bottled corrosive as souvenirs, candied bugs f

Pieces of Friendship Left Behind

Second floor of the cube: blood-soaked testing rooms, an alchemist's notes left mid-experiment, decahedrons that shoot lightning through the walls. Picturn gets his feeli

Echoes of the Past

Inside the abandoned siege tower, a stone bust holds the memories of a military unit the swamp buried fifteen centuries ago. Tannhauser presses psychometry against the ro

Imperfect Perfection

The cube is fifteen hundred years old and the towers used to fly. Tannhauser nails a dead tyrant's mask-essence to his armor and becomes a permanent glow-in-the-dark liab

The Cube

Thousand-year-old masterwork debris litters the swamp, leading somewhere no one wanted to go. An osseogrove — bone-rooted, red-leaved, patient — crits Oren for thirty-eig

The Decision

Zibulzap's trading post walks through the swamp on reptile legs. Vali converts to a crustacean god, Tannhauser crafts a functioning swamp-gas dirigible out of pig bladder

Concealment

One assassinated martinet. One bribed caravan. The party vanishes into the Swamps of the Solitude, pinning revolutionary posters on every signpost they pass — until a fog

The Aftermath

Martinet Cardoza burns through a second form, then a third, before Rahua buries a thrown mace in her skull and she detonates into light. Vali drops into a rot-vision of b

Enlightenment

Baldrick bombs the basement garrison. Tanhauser and Vali bluff the upper floor. Glub Talk harvests bugs to patch a wound. Speaker improvises a beetle-rider mentor who get

Splitting This Party

Three ways into Derg Sandren House. Vali and Tanhauser front-door in stolen Guild colours, Oren slips a skylight as a rat, Rahua and Baldrick take the sewer with Crunch.

Reunion

Baldrick barricades his house with Crunch and Granny Sweet. Tanhauser and Rahua weld together a red-painted three-seater bicycle and pedal across Outset. Vali and Oren cl

They Saw Us

A street brawl with Tyrant's Guild outriders turns into a massacre when the Iron Baron's chainsaw-car rolls in and mulches Dr. Crim into viscera. Vali and Oren die under

The Rehua Special

Rahua gets press-ganged into waitering at Granny Sweet's and serves a 600-pound fly-proboscis horror named Bremblo a cabbage "avocado casserole." Bremblo detonates into a

Running from the Law

Mr. Allort is a simulacrum. The alchemist upstairs is Dr. Crim, and her homunculus is named Glub Talk. The gargoyle scholar they've been hunting has been roosting here th

We Hate Taverns

Tanhauser kicks in the Cackling Jackass door. Vali orders rum. Rahua, ambushed outside by a flock of owl-faced fey, solves the problem by running through the wall. Oren g

The Fly Merchant

Pig-spider corpses stuffed into the walls. Spider-fluid surgery on Tanhauser. Then Blotus — an emaciated halfling who sells contraband from nowhere and talks mostly to hi

Times That Bind

The Rotten Drowned Devoted goes down, Baldrick bombs a staircase back to daylight, and Crunch — impossibly — is still breathing. Cousin Ginebrin says the rot hasn't taken

Bowl Best Served Rotten

A rune-puzzle that pays in frostbite and electrical burns. A ring of desiccated monks tending an eternal brazier. Visions that rearrange Tanhauser and Rahua from the insi

The Under Dungeon

Bruised, stranded, and one guide short, the party wakes in the temple that swallowed them. Rotten catwalks, a storeroom of cursed helmets, and a swarm of helmet-crabs — o

A Rotten Situation

Six strangers. One Tyrant's Guild cell. Jailer Homel offers a multi-year rot or a pit fight against the Guild's aspirants. They punch their way free, take a shady inspect
