Deep River

History : Deep River was once a prosperous mining town in the West Ridings, until the silver mine was abandoned 60 odd years ago on account of being cursed. The ‘curse’ was discovered to be a Neogi (mind controlling eel/spiders) by the guild and the mine is now safe once more. Hopefully prosperity will now return and Deep River will be made great again.

Village Characters:

Ellen - Head of the village, firm but friendly. Runs the village shop, sells basic supplies.

Tam - Ellen's husband, local wood carver and joiner.

Old Holbord : Grumpy old man, knows the old path to the silver mine. Speaks broad yorkshire. "Naught but foul luck and evil deeds in that there mine, you mark my words. Mark them well lad"

Magret : When bandits were troubling the town they kidnapped Magrets children Elodi and Garri and blackmailed her to. The guild rescued the children, specifically in the gnomish form of Ash Longfellow who the children now hero worship to an embarrassing degree and consider to be a magician on account of his magic broom.

Captain Varret: Recently appointed Captain of the Guard, on loan from Wildevale by Lord Raphael. Notably has an axe for an arm. Lost his hand fighting pirates, got caught in the rigging of a sinking ship and had to cut it off himself and then swim to shore. “Could get it healed maybes, but people tend to take notice when you got an axe for an arm.”

Surly Face McGraw: Cheerful dwarven ex-adventurer who has retired from the adventuring life and gone back to the simple pleasures of mining. Loves a good arm wrestle, for money or treasure. Thanks to his adventuring life he pretty much always has something half decent to put up as collateral for a bet. Will absolutely under no circumstance accept someone gambling with other people's possessions, you’ve got to have some skin in the game. For purposes of arm wrestling mini-game, has stats decided by DM but strong. Will consider wrestling with his weaker left arm for softer folk.

“''Got cursed with a resting surly face. Always look a bit grumpy, not normal for a dwarf. Always made me a bit of an outsider, people nervous when you look surly.”''

''“Gold, Gold's ok. No problem with gold, but you want to win something a bit more interesting then you got to wager something a bit more interesting. I've been round a bit you know, got a few bits and bobs you might like but you got to make it interesting.”''
