Distilled In-World Knowledge
Places & Events
- The Forum of Set features a large statue of Set with slaves at his feet, a marketplace, and hosts Mysteries. Vallium Halcyon attended the First Mystery and found it underwhelming. [rumors | 2025-06-13]
- Vallium Halcyon attended the First Mystery at the Forum of Set and found it underwhelming. The speaker refused to reveal what it was, saying “it’s a mystery!” When they began to comment on the Second Mystery, the statement was intentionally cut off (“tha…”) — possibly as a joke or the speaker was interrupted. [rumors | 2025-06-13]
Threats & Warnings
- Gedrick Malachite reports that doppelgangers have been appearing in town and advises carefully inspecting any dwarf encountered, as they may be doppelgangers in disguise. [rumors | 2025-06-13; pc-notes | 2025-06-13]
- A war is ongoing between dwarves and doppelgangers. [rumors | 2025-06-13]
NPCs & Opportunities
- The wizard rescued by the party is now in town and could potentially serve as a lackey if the party can afford to hire him. [archive | 2025-06-13; pc-notes | 2025-06-13]
Downtime Activities
- Research check: Success, new rumor discovered. Alchemy check: Failure, potion prices increased by 10%. [archive | 2025-06-13; town-rolls | 2025-06-13]
- Vallium Halcyon spent $500 to gain a +3 bonus to his Carousing roll in Newmarket. [town-rolls | 2025-06-13]
✅ Note on “Truncation”
The Second Mystery comment ending in “tha…” appears to be intentionally incomplete (as a joke or interruption) in the original Discord message, not a data extraction error. The speaker says “No, I won’t tell you what it is… it’s a mystery!” and then begins to say something about the Second Mystery but cuts off.

- Grudge Brigade (2025-06-09): Do PCs (not mercs) using potions, scrolls, arrows or other expendable items count against loot for XP purposes?
- GM (2025-06-09): Yes, loot gained is net of resources used.
- Grudge Brigade (2025-06-09): So a 2k in loot value? (1k loot deduction for using it?)
- GM (2025-06-09): That’s one way to frame it, though it mostly doesn’t matter unless you hit right on an XP breakpoint. You get enough net loot for 0, 1, or 2 XP. What qualifies as “enough” goes up as characters gain points. This is all Peter’s stuff from DF21. With different numbers. It’s also basically AD&D gold…
- Grudge Brigade (2025-06-09): I can’t find anything remotely like it hinted in DF21 (which I also didn’t know we were using), and DFE92 only mentions CoL and power items, not potions or rations, but you get to set the rules for your campaign, so long as they are clear.
- GM (2025-06-09): DF21 page 10, but with different numbers. The intent is you get XP for exploration and finding treasure, not for passing time. DF Whiterock was ruined by excessive XP for doing nothing so this is mostly a reaction to that.
- Grudge Brigade (2025-06-09): I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing at all. This is just about what counts against profit. I don’t think that’s what Peter suggests in DF21 either, per https://dungeonfantastic.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-cost-of-doing-business.html, but that’s not really a question, so I guess you’ve …
- GM (2025-06-09): It’s net profit. What you pull out of the dungeon minus what you spend to get it. I don’t account for capital expenses like durable weapons, only expendibles used. Peter ignores the expenses but I don’t, true. Most of the time the expenses don’t really matter because they’re small, but if you s…
- Grudge Brigade (2025-06-09): Cost of living is what the $150 base is supposed to represent, actually. But cp x 10 makes more sense in the long rune, and could easily become cp x 20 starting at 200 or whatever.
- GM (2025-06-13): Research: success, new rumor found. Alchemy: fail, +10% price.

- Vallium Halcyon (2025-06-13): Vallium spent $500 for a +3 to his Carousing roll (re: Newmarket), but did you say you wanted to resolve all the Newmarket things at the table?
- Vallium Halcyon (2025-06-13): Vallium spent $500 for a +3 to his Carousing roll (re: Newmarket), but did you say you wanted to resolve all the Newmarket things at the table?
- GM (2025-06-13): Yeah, we’ll do the Newmarket trip in the first few minutes tonight. (For the PCs who are back anyway; Vael and Michael can resolve theirs later.)

- Uvash (2025-06-13): Gedrick(?) Malachite says that doppelgangers have been showing up here. He also tells to give every dwarf a good look over, as they might be a doppelganger. Wizard we saved is also in the town. Possible lackey if we can save up the cash to get it.
