Deanjday Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) I am the ancient age of 52 now, but way back when I started roleplaying at the age of 11 with Runequest being my very first game. I cut my teeth on the original Apple Lane and had great fun first rpg experiences defending Gringle's pawnshop! So although I see the need for the setting to move forward in time, I was very saddened to see in the current time frame the pawnshop a blackened shell, Apple Lane so changed and Gringle chased off and missing. So my question is, is there any info to say what happened to Gringle? Is he dead, or just set up another pawnshop somewhere else? I know it's my Glorantha and in my campaign I can say whatever I like, but what is the official version?

Ludo Bagman Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) An adventure seed in the Game Master Screen Pack mentions that he fled to Notchet. Spoiler His daughter returns with the crystal of Toothsharp that was protected in the Apple Lane scenario.

Ahhh, I wonder if we will see him in the future Notchet supplement being worked on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That event occurs in a scenario, Return to Apple Lane, in the HQG book Sartar Companion. 7 hours ago, Deanjday said: is there any info to say what happened to Gringle?

Those playing the above-mentioned scenario could have helped Gringle escape - in which case he could have gone anywhere. Based on the Adventure Seed in the Adventurer's Book, it suggests he made it to Nochet. But he was already old, so if he did escape, does he still live? Unless someone develops a scenario with him as a character, he will likely remain a loose end for GM's to do with as they please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Dangerduck Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 In our non-canonical campaign, just entering 1627, Gringle died in Nochet. Over Sacred Time the PCs quested and brought him back to serve as Wyter for Apple Lane. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
