As DM Mainprize mentioned let's make a dwarven archeology clan! As a twist though, and to help us all work on our box text skills, I thought we could all tell the info as if we are the dwarves of the clan! The setting is a tavern full of the dwarves of this clan who are telling all the tales while drinking all of the ales!
1. Name of the tavern they are in right now - The Laughing Troll Alehouse - DM Chris
2. Name of the signature drink they are all having - A light crisp ale popularly known in the Laughing Troll Alehouse as the Gorgon Spittle Ale or just Gorgon Spittle - almarianknight
3. Name of the clan - Ord Unrol Az or Krazdran Beoir Or something in dwarven - kjmagle
seeing that beards are the thing Conqurumm Trumm. (Conquering Beard) - kjmagle
4. Clan leader - Shpad Brazenbeard is the current leader of the Conqurumm Trumm, famous for wielding his mighty combat shovel into battle against many foes while unearthing many rare finds. He his further renowned for his particularly shabby and ill kept beard; though this is hardly his fault as the poor thing keeps getting scorched, scrapped, pulled and worst of all caught in sliding door traps. He wears his trademark enchanted leather armour, in favour of the more typical dwarven heavy plate; better to avoid traps. - dmgenisisect
5. Motto and goals - The words of our clan, Skrat Gromdal Xoth!! Declaring to all that the search for ancient knowledge is our primary goal - DM Mainprize
6. Famous members
7. Guild's reputation (historians or grave robbers? Or depends on who you ask?)
8. Where do they live/operate from? (Do they even have a real home, or is the digsite their home?)
9. Their greatest treasure found
10. Toughest trap that they have ever defeated
11. Easiest trap they have ever defeated
12. Toughest guardian they have defeated
13. When knowledge of stonework saved the day - We had gone to the old hold to retrieve some abandoned treasures, but those pit elves were laying in wait for us. There were hundreds of them, nay thousands, and there was just us 5, with our backs up against the far side of the old throne room. Now we were sweating something fierce at this point, all of us sure we were going to be the next set of bones in that forsaken place. Then Gorvrin here pipes up. "Boys" he says, "You ever wonder why they called these places holds?". "Gorvrin!" we exclaimed "now is not the time for another of yer blasted lessons!". As calm as a windless sea he sauntered up to the throne and pushed a brick into the wall, "Because they hold our best weapons" he shouted out as large sections of the back wall fell away, revealing some of biggest, baddest, and beautiful golems we had ever laid eyes on. "MOUNT UP!" He yelled. We wasted nary a second before climbing up into these things. The rest of the story.....let's just say we had a bloody good time, and the drow just had a bloody time! - lasersniper
Most of these allow for multiple answers, so don't be afraid to add more stories as you dream them up! Don't forget to let the love spread a little though, and have others join the discussion before taking on too many stories. Can't wait to hear more dwarven stories!
