Erol of Backford Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Does anyone know if Londra and any of her retinue go with Leika into Snakepipe Hollow on any/either of her trips if she made more than one? I had to ask as I don't see it actually spelled out that I could see nor do I know why I am thinking she may have... it may have been listed in an article I read but might not have been an action of the Temple of the Wooden Sword? Skirmish at Wind Temple – seems they went to Sazdorf the day after this and were welcomed The Wooden Sword in Dorastor Snakepipe Hollow Quest to the Wounding of Arroin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londra was not on Leika's Crown Test. That was spelled out in WF14, pg.8: "Leika chose to be accompanied by these people: Asborn Demonslayer, favored by Orlanth, also called Asborn Thriceborn; Hollybright and Hurtis, Chalana Arroy healers of the Colymar; and Razkin, Orlanthi warrior and guardian of the healers." But on the same page, Leika did accompany the Wooden Sword on an earlier expedition to Snakepipe Hollow: "Leika, granddaughter of Londros and heir to the Colymar Tribe of Sartar, had earned the surname of Ballista when she accompanied the Wooden Sword Humakti into the caves of chaos deep within Snakepipe Hollow." IIRC, this issue was the first mention of Leika so I think we can reasonably figure that was the main event where the two journeyed together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erol of Backford Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Blueboy Does anyone have thoughts on who "Blueboy" was or anything about him? Thinking to work him in as a PC and wouldn't that be fun! In another thread there was discussion as to the child of Errol "NISELDA, the Invisible Child; daughter to Alebard and Errol Silksword, born this battle." and I spotted Blueboy which of course raises the who, what, why, where, when and how questions... Londra of Londros, new priestess to the war god; Naimless, cousin to Londra; Taksag the Outlaw, faithful troll initiate; Edward the Noble, a foreigner and new convert; Tamara Three-chop, Sword wielder; Blueboy, a mere child who gained his name that day; Alebard, called the Weak for he had little fighting stomach; Eril Silksword, once thief new bride to Alebard. Also accompanying the Humakti were some loyal friends: Urrrggh the Ugly, mounted on his massive horse; Geanvieve and Mae Bell, both healers; Mist-on-the-Dawn, friendly centaur.

Aside from the reference that he was one of the Humakti who helped carry the Wooden Sword into the Sazdorf hall, I don't think there is any other mention of him. Could have been a one-time character in Greg's campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erol of Backford Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Did Naimless die in the House Campaign? I didn't see this before (see link and quote below), I thought she was still around in 1625, didn't the House Campaign stop before then? https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/wp-content/uploads/www.glorantha.com-forums/www.glorantha.com/forums/topic/henders-ruins-myth-and-history/ December 21, 2013 at 6:07 pm#6501 J Michael Dawson Spectator Quote from Simon Phipp on December 11, 2013, 23:23There’s a powerful undead creature there as well, as a Humakti was turned into a wraith according to one of the RQ2 travelogues. I don’t recall any mention of an undead creature. Just that Alain’s ghost was around. I always figured that the WAY Naimless died was so awful that regardless of his runic affiliation he became a ghost to seek revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She appears as the Colymar tribal champion in the RQG Gamemaster pack which is 1625. In Cults of Prax, Naimless defeats Alain in a duel, but she is not mentioned after that - it's only Alain's ghost that plagues the healer. She's also noted in Sartar Companion, p.34: "Nameless was a member of the Humakti Battalion of the Wooden Sword led by her (former) kinswoman Londra of Londros. She fought alongside Kangarl at the Hill of Orlanth Victorious and when he became tribal king, she became Tribal Champion for the whole Colymar Tribe."

Erol of Backford Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I didn't think so either but was strange to see it posted as such by Mr. Phipp back in 2013, unless I misunderstood nevertheless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a typo, I meant the way Alain died was horrible, which is why he became undead. 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

DrGoth Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 2 hours ago, Erol of Backford said: Did Alain die in Sog Ruins? Cults of Prax (p.66) says "Eye-whisper said he detected the ragged ghost of Alain, sword of Humakt, plaguing the consciousness of the healer. I recalled that Humakti had prepared an expedition against broos active in the Sog's Ruins." He was organising an expedition there, which was the cause of his duel with Naimless. While it's not explicitly stated in CoP that he died in Sog's Ruins, still proceeding with his expedition after losing the duel, it's a reasonable conclusion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a campaign log somewhere? Thanks either way. 7 hours ago, DrGoth said: While it's not explicitly stated in CoP that he died in Sog's Ruins, still proceeding with his expedition after losing the duel, it's a reasonable conclusion We figured as much but thought someone on this forum actually played portions of the write up and was looking to the Hose Campaign Members to fill in the details or link a log of some sorts. We dabbled in fitting out Sog Ruins a bit and wanted to see if there was more on it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erol of Backford Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 From Sartar Companion Nameless the Humakti - This Humakti gave up her name when she devoted herself to Death and War. She has taken many gifts and geases – her most famous is her oath to kill anyone who demands to know her name (hence most call her “Nameless”). She is always drawn into every conflict and is a terrible enemy of Life. Nameless was a member of the Humakti Battalion of the Wooden Sword led by her (former) kinswoman Londra of Londros. She fought alongside Kangharl at the Hill of Orlanth Victorious and when he became tribal king, she became Tribal Champion for the whole Colymar Tribe.

Erol of Backford Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I had to add this: So old friend of Londra, Lagor is given the sword (Masters of Luck & Death p.15) he must be a Sword of Humakt by this time but why would Enfrew go and give the Wooden Sword to a troll of all creatures? To fight ZZ? Curious if anyone named the Wooden Sword or if its name is known? What year is Masters of Luck & Death? 1616 but being 2 years later, 1617 if this 2 years is after the Temple was disbanded by Londra or 1618 maybe if 2 years after the tournament? Is it possible that one of the trolls that was Naimless' bodyfriend was Lagor and even was at Tourney Altar when she dueled? Will add this to other thread...
