Roll Models D&D: Episode 54 – The Mysteries of the Maze Markets
Explicit content warning
12/02/22 • 104 min
Diving from the sand into sea, our heroes have already made waves in the shadowy, seaside chasm-city of Delnori.
Two jobs down and a homely inn as a temporary HQ, they took stock of the conflicts brewing in the streets...
The once powerful Thieves Guild was split, and in the ancient caves of its old hideout the new guild, renamed “the Touch Lotus”, plots with a mysterious employer called Crissaphaene.
On their last job, our heroes stumbled onto the Lotus repairing the opalised archway in the caves at the order of Crissaphaene and with the aim of exploring the “burrowing” world beyond it to retrieve relics and curiosities.
There is also the other half of the split Thieves Guild, the Lamoré family, who lie hidden in the city, and a philanthropic pirate crew of the Oddmium Trist who seem active.
There is also the onward questions of Xethir, The Disciple, who’s plot our heroes foiled in Dustmere, and who likely continues on his crusade to break the One Thousand Seals.
But before our heroes wade into the shady fissures, cobbled alleyways and teeming Maze Markets of Delnori, first they must eat, and drink and seek the guidance of gods...

Roll Models D&D: Episode 53 – Machinations of the Buried Door
Our heroes have only been in the seaside chasm city Of Delnori for a matter of days, but already they have made their mark. They are acquaintances of Ripper, the pirate innkeeper, and rescuer of an old Tanner who was plagued by otherworldly creatures. It was these creatures they tracked from the Tanner’s to the burned-out headquarters of a once notorious guild of thieves. After rooting out the last of the monstrosities, they found a trap door beneath the nest, and it led down tunnels carved into the bedrock. Still following the tracks, our heroes moved through the dark tunnels, finding an ancient place. It was a temple, buried and fossilised and hollowed into a dark opal cast of what once was a church to Evraen, the Mother of Magic. The place, although clearly furnished and once used by the Thieves Guild, was now veiled in dust, the creatures’ tracks the only activity to have disturbed it — and they originated from a stack of rubble in a side room. Our heroes cleared the boulders and found another tunnel in the wall, this one burrowing steeply down and ending in a horizontal, circular borehole, 2 feet wide that was filled with water. After much debating, Ahmaya chose to scout ahead. They tied a rope about her ankle, she crawled down the borehole and then slid into the submerged tunnel. Moving hand over hand and kicking, Ahmaya could see nothing ahead but greyscale darkness...

Roll Models D&D: Episode 55 – a Game of Taverns
After tumbling through the seaside chasm city of Delnori, and already making a name for themselves, our heroes split.
Eugene, with the grace of a letter, let the rest of the team know he would be spending the day at Bitter Sweet Caramels in the resident markets, hopefully making sweets with the proprietor.
Ora, however, was more mysterious. After drinking with Eugene into the early hours, he left the Old Diver Inn in the morning mist to run errands.
The rest of our heroes awoke and made the obvious decision... Shopping!
But the sweet wonders of the tangled Maze Market soon turned sour... they stumbled across a rumoured alchemist who’d been offering cure-alls in trade for a sample of blood.
Keen to investigate, and more than a little suspicious, our heroes approached. Sentinel deciding to make a trade for one of his vials of alchemy. But only after he withdrew her blood did they ask for his name...
“Crissaphaene,” he said, “Dolan Crissaphaene.” The name, our heroes knew as the person currently employing the Touch Lotus Thieves Guild...
