Post by BMR »

Based on experience with Castle Clover, we're going to run into important information and then completely forget about it sooner or later. Here, I'll keep track of and links to any important stuff.

Character Housing
  • Arcadia Hallow
    Description wrote:After the mysterious "disappearance" of Arcadia's father, the family's reputation declined and their finances collapsed. She took out several loans using the house as collateral in order to maintain her lifestyle.

    The general consensus among the gossip-carriers is that her father skipped town to avoid some kind of social shame, but nobody can agree on what.

    The house is large and fine, and located in the oldest and most prestigious parts of the Granary Hill district. It is big, but not quite so big that you would call it a mansion.

    When the loan money ran out, she was forced to let go the butler, the wait-staff, all but one of the maids, all but one of the stablehands, and the coachman. She sold the carriage, and all but her favorite horse.

    Friends stopped calling for social visits, and extended family stopped visiting or offering help, instead just exchanging forced pleasantries when they met her about town, and then going on their way shaking their heads. "Shame about her father."
  • Big Hat Normin
    Description wrote:The narrow building that houses the Dumpy Dagger Tavern was probably a brothel at some point in the past, because it has a long hallway of small rooms for rent upstairs. It is primarily a drinking establishment, but the owner rents the rooms upstairs, because they came with the building, and why the hell not?

    Big Hat Normin rents one of these rooms. The Dumpy Dagger is located in the Marketday district, and would probably not be able to compete against the numerous larger and better taverns of the district, were it not for the fact that the Dumpy Dagger is a favorite for Rumbleback players, who gather to drink there before, after, and sometimes during their sporting matches.
  • Bobo
    Description wrote:Bobo shares a tenement apartment in the Poor Quarter with two other cannibals. They are not of the same tribe or race as Bobo. One is a skinny dwarf and the other is a short human, but the racist Dragonborn landlord put them all in the same room because he assumed that all cannibals are the same tribe.

    Neither of Bob's room-mates speaks Common.

    The room is on the third floor of a big featureless five-story apartment block. Unlike most of the buildings in the Poor Quarter, it has outer walls made of brick, but the floors and most of the interior structure is made of wood. The building is in the part of the Poor Quarter where fire is possible, and from the one window, Bobo can look out and see the rubble of Shortbig House 3, the huge neighboring tenement house that collapsed in The Tragic Fire last month.
  • Caldon Morgensen
    Description wrote:Caldon has been living in an apartment in a respectable part of Temple Hill, but not for much longer.

    The building is a property of House Fairmond, and they have decided to sell it. Why would House Fairmond sell the property? They certainly aren't in need of the money, and there is certainly nothing wrong with the property-- except that a son of House Morgensen is residing in it! This has to be House Vargas meddling!

    The solicitor hired by the Fairmonds to sell the apartment has been nothing but polite to Caldon, apologizing profusely each time she interrupts his privacy to show it to prospective buyers, but she also never fails to remind him that he absolutely has to be moved out by 27-midwinter, not a day later.

    Caldon has a paltry and pathetic 20 gold to his name right now. What does it even cost to rent a home anyway? Can he afford a place equal to the one he has to move out of? Caldon isn't sure how much the rent would be on his current residence, and asking this late in the game seems so gauche.
  • Cece Celasier
    Description wrote:It is illegal to sleep overnight anywhere within the Smokefields district, which makes it a perfect place to sleep overnight.

    Most of the illegal residents of the Smokefields circumvent the law by becoming nocturnal, sleeping in the day, and working all night in their kitchens, bakeries, foundries and blacksmithies, So for a homeless young sorcerer, who doesn't mind the sound of hammers on anvils or the smell of goats being roasted, the numerous trash-bins of the Smokefields make a perfect place to sleep the night away.

    Of course, Cece isn't the only homeless person in Great Bakak no have noticed how great the Smokefields is for begging scraps and sleeping in trashcans, so she always has competition.

    One of the best places to sleep are the big metal bins behind the University Satellite Campus Tent. The bins rarely contain rotten maggots or molten slag, and sometimes they are mysteriously fresh-smelling as if the student wizards have been throwing away the by-products of experimental Pleasant-Odor incantations. Besides, most of the other homeless folks stay away because they are too frightened of the Satellite Campus, just because it sometimes burns down in a magical hail of roiling elemental carnage-- as if someone sleeping in a sturdy metal trash-bin would care about a thing like that!
  • Ebald
    Description wrote:Ebald now lives in the same small house in the Granary Hill district where his parents raised him. It is a small one-story 2 bedroom house with a modest yard. He can stand on his porch and see the Outskirt Fields district, and smell the crops growing. His parents already payed off the mortgage, so when he was working, he could easily afford the upkeep of the place, but now the repairs and property taxes have eaten away his savings. Property values in Granary Hill have increased a whole lot since his parents bought the place, so if he loses the house now, he will never have any hope of buying it back no matter how hard he works.
  • Evangeline Arrielis
    Description wrote:Evangeline shares an apartment in the Marketday district with her friend Contessa. The apartment is one of several built on top of a large dress shop that is a bit to expensive for her to actually shop in, but not so expensive that she can't look at the window displays and wish. The shop has a night security guard, so Evangeline's apartment is a little bit more safe from burglary than those of neighboring buildings.

    The rent is 20 gold a month, which she splits 50/50 with Contessa, so her share is normally 10 gold per month. For the past 2 months in a row, Contessa has not been able to pay anything, giving no better excuse than "I just don't have the money right now, I am sorry, I'll pay you back, I promise!"

    Evangeline's daughter Magdaline lives with her father in his manor in Old Bakak, but Evangeline is not welcome there. Neither is she welcome at Magdaline's upscale kindergarten in Granary Hill, where the teachers have been specifically instructed not to allow her in.

    She is allowed to see Magdalene, but only at pre-scheduled one-hour play-dates at the Mayor's Park, and only with Magdaline's father, sister, or nanny present.
  • Kailyn Kandel
    Description wrote:Kailyn rents beautiful bachelor's flat in the fashionable part of the Temple Hill district. It is on the 4th (top) floor of an exclusive building, and the balconies have views of both the University and the skyline of the palace and temples in the Old Bakak district.

    The building is made of old dark hardwoods, with numerous decorative carvings that give purchase to the well-tended climbing flowers that adorn the exterior of the building.

    Kailyn does not have enough money left to make next month's rent, but at least he is already payed up through 10-Latewinter
  • Petroleum Sleeves
    Description wrote:Petrol's uncle owns a nice house in Granary Hill, but Petrol isn't welcome there anymore.

    Petrol has gotten himself into an "understanding" with Low Judge Sig Sigmund.

    Judge Sig has jurisdiction in the Marketday district, and has assured Petrol that if he is picked up for any minor crimes there, Sig's clerks will have the case reassigned to him, and he will throw it out. This arrangement does not extend to serious crimes, and Judge Sig has not explicitly clarified where the dividing line is drawn.

    In return, Petrol is sometimes expected to do small "errands", which so far have been pretty boring, and consist mostly of delivering small wax-sealed envelopes.

    A recent development is that the Judge has invited Petrol to sleep in his offices in the Old Bakak district, to "keep an eye on the place" after hours.

    This seemed like a really great deal, since he doesn't have to pay to rent a room anymore, and the office is very posh. A nice bed has been put in a small storage room for him, and he has the run of the place at night. However, the office building gets awfully quiet at night, and nobody has explained exactly what he is supposed to be keeping an eye on, or what he is supposed to do if something happens.
  • Rasvim
    Description wrote:Rasvim squats in the home of an elderly human woman in the Poor Quarter. She is a hoarder, and every room in her house is packed with random junk. There is plenty of room for a Kobold to hide. She has dementia and poor eyesight, so Rasvim's chances of being found are almost nil.
  • Sharn
    Description wrote:Sharn is homeless, so she will eat and sleep when and where she can, but she has to favorite places to crash.

    There is a Doomcap-den/flophouse on the smokey side of the Poor Quarter where Sharn can almost always get a meal, but sometimes there is a scary dwarf there who leers at her, so she doesn't feel safe staying there overnight unless her dealer Boots happens to be crashing there too.

    There is a battered women's shelter right at the border of the Poor Quarter and the Granary Hill districts. It is run by a kindly but terrifying Drow Matron who seems to want to take Sharn under her wing, but she won't let Sharn stay there when she is obviously high.

I needed to go back and look up this info, so I decided to put it here for quicker access for anyone else.
Create Water Pamphlet wrote:Anyone can learn this spell.

These pamphlets take (4 - Intelligence modifier) evenings of study to completely read. The reader must read for at least an hour with no distractions.

You can't binge-read them all in one evening. (Arcane eyestrain!)

Being clerics, both Kailyn and Arcadia can easily notice that this isn't quite the same Level 1 Create Water spell they are familiar with, it is some kind of variant.
Normin's identify ritual wrote:He doesn't know an exact name for the spell that enchants this bucket, but it is very powerful. It can produce a stream of water seemingly endlessly. If there are limits on how long it can operate continuously, Normin is unable to discern them. He can't tell how it is circumventing the Rain God Curse, which by all rights ought to be diminishing its power.
