Salt of Urph

Introducing: Ruth, The Human Ranger

22/12/2019

For as long as she can remember Ruth has been living in the care of the reclusive witch Mrs Boor in the forest-sheltered fortress of Chimera's Keep. However, as she's come into adulthood it's felt more and more to her that Mrs Boor is in fact, living in Ruth's care. Indeed, from the moment the young archer proved able to adequately hold conversations with strangers she has been working as the Beastmaker's courier, scout, and emissary, performing all the errands that Mrs Boor is to 'busy' to accomplish herself.
From gathering peculiar supplies from the travelling merchants of Innovsfall, to warding away rangers and warriors who wander too deep into the woods, Ruth has earned quite the reputation with the locals and has often been mistaken for a witch herself. As consequence, Ruth has made very few friends compared to others around her age (or at the least, very few friends that lack feathers, scales, fur or claws).
This latest errand however appears to be a rather difficult one: one that it might prove beneficial to have allies, for once.

Introducing: Styx, The Half-Orc Bard

According to most Urphian scholars half-orcs were most likely devised aeons ago by some would-be conqueror-witch almost certainly in an attempt to combine the common or garden orc's fondness for forcefully dismantling property with human's ingenuity in the same field. However, as with most cases like these, the newly formed half-orcs probably got a bit too impatient waiting for the rest of the army to be formed and chose to test out their skills by extemporaneously razing the witch's stronghold to the ground.
Now and again however that particular human creativity comes to light strange ways, as with Styx, who in the process of smashing things with his war-band came to appreciate the noises that certain things made whilst being smashed. Styx had discovered music, and in doing so had set his course in life in a direction nobody could have expected.
With drumsticks made from the wood of an enchanted tree Styx left his war-band behind him to pursue his career as Urph's first ever and most talented half-orc bard.

Introducing: Lumpkin, The Teddy-bear Barbarian

25/11/2019

Crafted into being by a young witch-in-training Miss Rosie, Lumpkin is custom-made to be huggable and squishy and cosy and oh so very soft and nice! Tired of playing alone, the tenderfoot Miss Rosie had created Lumpkin to keep her company as she explored all across the fantastical world of Urph (Or at least as far as mother would allow).
Unfortunately however, within only a couple years of their existence, this misshapen bear's life was sent into a tailspin when, for reasons unknown by Lumpkin, Miss Rosie abandoned them by the door of a shop never to return.
Since then, Lumpkin has rambled on through the wilds of Urph alone, scarred and hardened, looking for their place in a world not made for bears.

Introducing: Tarquin Mouseroy, The Human Rogue

Born and raised on the prosperous merchant island of Feles, young Tarquin is not used to going out of his way to get what he wants; as a son of one of the wealthiest trading families on the island, what he wants generally finds its way to him.
As consequence, Tarquin has ended up with very little in the way of the layman would consider 'useful' skills (aside from a deft hand for plucking wallets (to be used only for the odd occasion when his gambling enterprises go awry, of course).
And so, the worst thing that could possibly happen to Tarquin would be being plucked from their comfy home via dragon (whilst in an outhouse of all things) and dropped off in the middle of no-where with no clear way home...
....which is where our adventure begins.

The first episode is here! For those of you who have enjoyed our Grinn & Berrit stories, we have devised a new actual-play Dungeons and Dragons podcast set within the world of Urph: the same land where our titular witch and cat reside.

Expect this to be of a similar tone to the stories released so far, with perhaps a little bit more chaos thrown into the mix (we have no control over our players, as you may soon see).

The Messrs Fleming and Lowe hope you enjoy what we've been preparing for you over the last few months...
