Preface by Dave Arneson:
One day, a little over thirty years ago, I
discovered that I was bored. The campaign that
I was running had become a drag. It was
consumed with these long tedious battles and
constant bickering over historical details. These
most recently uncovered details would mess up
next week’s battle. Curses on all such books!
Why not just use one source and be done with
it? CLICK! Graph paper, pencil, the old 20-sided
dice we never used, some really poorly sculpted
plastic monsters…I began to imagine a
dungeon. My mind raced…I began to draw.
Maybe I can fill it with critters and gold! This
dungeon needs a name? Hmm, it’s a dark place
in the wilds of wherever. Ahh! Blackmoor! By
Sunday night the first six levels of the dungeon
were done and the gaming table in the
basement had been transformed into a small
medieval town with a castle. A dungeon seemed
like a good idea since it would keep the players
from running all over the place. We still needed
some more details… Ah! I drew a map of the
town and the country around it. These last
details took me most of the rest of the week to
complete. I was really excited about this idea.
Now everyone could be a hero like in a book but
without a tight (and often dumb!) plot. They
could do just about anything that they wanted to
do, for better or for worse. In that short time,
Blackmoor was born. The campaign setting now
known as Blackmoor was done within the month
with additional details added as needed. Both
the setting and the rules continued to grow over
the weeks. Most, but alas not all, the guys liked
the game and wanted to keep playing. So the
next few weeks were spent fleshing things out
and trying to maintain the structure. In a very
real way I have continued to “flesh things out”
over the last thirty years.
I continue to run the Blackmoor campaign in the
games I judge at conventions and in my
classroom. Over the years some 5,000+ people
have adventured in Blackmoor in excess of
1,500 game sessions. The roads are well
traveled but the adventures never end. (Orlando,
2004)
Introduction to Blackmoor by Dustin
Clingman:
Welcome to the magical world of Dave
Arneson’s Blackmoor! The original Blackmoor
campaign began over thirty years ago and
served as the impetus for an entirely new
gaming experience where every player could be
Page 2
both a fantastic hero and a winner. The game
that would become Dungeons & Dragons relied
heavily on the core discoveries made while
Dave Arneson created a new gaming genre
through his exploration of Blackmoor with his
core group of players.
So what’s the big deal with Blackmoor? It’s a
distinct and compelling world to adventure in.
Blackmoor provides a solid, almost classical
launching point for players of all gaming
backgrounds. Before there were adventure or
role-playing games, there was Blackmoor.
Blackmoor can be defined by its key precept:
High Fantasy. Powerful heroes defend the land
against impossible odds. What could be more
fun that that? The frontier kingdom of Blackmoor
sits in quite a precarious position. Ruled by the
young King Uther Andahar, Blackmoor is beset
on all sides by enemies and would be
conquerors. Blackmoor’s enemies range from
the savage Afridhi to the amorphous superbeing,
The Egg of Coot. On a moment’s notice, the
people of Blackmoor must be prepared to take
up arms to defend themselves from invasion or
even worse horrors. Compound this political
turmoil with the constant discovery of new power
and horrible monstrosities to find a populace
quite uneasy with their lot in life. Some of them
take up arms to define their destinies rather than
waiting to become victims of fate. These brave
adventurers serve a heroic purpose for both
people and country.
What is Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor:
The MMRPG (Massively Multiplayer
Role Playing Game)?
Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor: The MMRPG is
designed to allow players to participate
alongside each other in groups of 4 to 6 players
in the rich fantasy world of Blackmoor that Dave
Arneson created over 30 years ago. The
campaign allows players to travel all over the
world attending conventions and game days that
are running Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor events.
Since the rules for the campaign are the same
everywhere in the world, players can quickly
jump right into the action just about anywhere
people are playing without having to worry about
house rules. These complete rules can be found
in Dave Arneson's Blackmoor: The MMRPG
Campaign Sourcebook or by visiting
www.dablackmoor.com.
Notes to the Judge:
The most important part of Dave Arneson’s
Blackmoor: The MMRPG is to have fun. Both
your enjoyment and that of the players is
paramount to the game. With this in mind, you
may alter the episode as necessary to ensure
the enjoyment of the group and accommodate
any unforeseen actions of the players. However,
this ability should not be construed to reward
foolish actions by players. In those situations,
players should earn what they deserve. We ask
that you as the judge use common sense in
these situations.
Time Units:
The Blackmoor calendar has thirty-seven (37)
weeks, with each week lasting a ten-day (10).
Every character is allowed thirty seven (37) time
units (each unit being a week) for the Dave
Arneson’s Blackmoor: The MMRPG campaign
year (January 1 to January 1). Playing this
event is a cost of one (1) time unit.

The complete episode should be read by the

judge prior to play. The duration of the event
should be approximately three and a half (3.5)
hours of game play with time before and after
the event for brief record keeping and
preparation. When you run a Dave Arneson’s
Blackmoor: The MMRPG episode we assume
that you have access to the following books:
Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor, the Player’s
Handbook, the Dungeon Master’s Guide, and
the Monster Manual. You should also have a set
of dice (at least one d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and
d20), a way to track combats (such as graph
paper or battle mat), some scrap paper, and a
writing implement. In addition, you should be
familiar with Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor: The
MMRPG Campaign Sourcebook.

The players should have fully completed

Blackmoor character sheet, a character log
sheet, a set of dice, a writing implement, and
any other useful tools for play such as scrap
paper or a miniature to represent their player
character. You should have at least four players
to have a sanctioned event.

Prior to beginning play, the ATL (average table

level) should be determined to select the
appropriate level of play. To do this, the total
level of all players, followers, and animals that
are not “class features” are added together
(“Class feature” animals are animal companions,
familiars, and paladin mounts and do not affect
ATL.) The total levels are than divided by six
players regardless of the number of players at
the table. This number constitutes the party’s
ATL. The party may choose to round up or down
if the particular number is not an offered ATL.

Episode Background
Peshwah na Sulla of the Somhak was conceived
the night Hadeen was slain by his jealous
brother Calelrin. His birth was no less
auspicious, marked by the fall of a star from the
sky and the gift of sky metal to Sulla’s father.
Sulla is blessed of Hak and being so, walks the
special path of the ranger, bound to the land,
and the mystic places therein.
Sulla is a kinsman to Peshwan na Fetti, Leado
of the Somhak and leader of his people. The
Somhak seek nothing more than the unity of the
people and the consequent reclamation of the
Hak form the depredations of the Afridhi. In
Sulla, star born of Hadeen, Fetti sees a chance
to achieve this goal.
The Hommett of the Hak tell of the bow of the
god, tossed to the earth when he fell in combat,
slain by the treachery of his divine brother
Calelrin. The Peshwah of clan Briela walk the
earth seeking the Bow of Hadeen. Peshwan na
Fetti, Leado of the Somhak, believes they waste
their time, and Sulla is the one who will find the
gift of the fallen god and lead his people to
redemption.
The Leado of the Somhak believes, but he is not
certain. To this end, he decided to test Sulla,
and sent his sister’s son into the High Hak, to
the land of the Zah, so that he might seek out
the wisdom of the wokan Peshwah na Ikiru, a
mystic of the people.
Sulla traveled across the High Hak towards the
lands of the Zah, in the company of his most
trusted friends. Unfortunately, his journey did
not go unnoticed.
Within the tents of the Somhak, there are
traitors. Some are easily turned by gold. Others
are turned by promises of power. Still others are
turned by jealous hatred. Such men as these
dwell among the Somhak and have fallen into
the worship of the fratricide, Calelrin. Worse
still, they have alliance with the Afridhi, and offer
them nuggets of information best left secret.
Because of this, when Peshwah na Sulla left his
Uncle and sought the wokan, he walked into a
trap. The Afridhi set an ambush for Peshwah
na Sulla and his traveling companions.
The players are brought into the story during
Peshwah na Sulla’s journey to seek the wokan,
Page 4
Peshwah na Ikiru. Asked to seek out the
Peshwah and procure a steppes charger for the
breeding stock of the Dragon Knight Karnel Ordi,
the players find themselves crossing the Hak
towards the city of Sul Peshwan.
In transit, they come across Peshwah na Sulla
and his kinsmen in a brutal fight. Only Peshwah
na Sulla has survived. Immediate player
intervention can save him, but requires combat
with Afridhi raiders.
After the combat, Sulla speaks at length with the
players and determines if they are trustworthy.
Players who comport themselves honorably
from Sulla’s perspective, and demonstrate a
desire to help him to his destination, have his
assistance purchasing the horseflesh.
Peshwah na Sulla needs to cross the plains to
find Peshwah na Ikiru. Players accompany him
come to Ikiru’s abode. Sadly, the Afridhi, under
the guidance of the traitorous worshippers of
Calelrin, have carried off the wokan, focused on
bringing her to their evil queen for interrogation
and sacrifice. The Afridhi know of the Bow of
Hadeen and would have it for themselves.
Slaying anyone who might be destined to use it
is a high priority for the Afridhi. Likewise, Ikiru’s
knowledge is valuable.
Players must next pursue the Afridhi, infiltrate
their camp at night, rescue Ikiru, and then flee
back across the plains while pursued by Afridhi
raiders.
The players make their way to Sul Peshwan with
Sulla if they have made the correct series of
choices, without him if not. There, they are able
to acquire horses for their patron All is not as it
seems though, as players face one last ambush
by agents of the traitors of Calelrin.
Based on their choices, players may have built a
lasting friendship with at least one Peshwah
warrior, and have begun their exploration of a
noble people and the sad story of their treatment
at the hands of the Afridhi.
Episode Hook
Boggy Bottom is a wretched hive of scum
and villainy. Given all that is wonderful and
beautiful in the north, that you are here, in
this foul smelling place, is beyond your
comprehension. The air here reeks of
 sulfur. The locals grin and point to the
spring next to the border of the town when
you inquire about the stench. Although the
water from it may be fresh, the smell most
certainly isn’t.
The Soggy Bog is both inn and tavern for
this place. After one full and foul day you
find yourself seated in the tavern’s common
room, at a table with others who most likely
also work “the trade.” The house specialty
liquor is called Mesok and tastes faintly of
mead and honey. It is the one bright spot in
this normally drab and downright stinky
town.
Your table mates look as disgruntled as you
do. Time to introduce yourself, you
suppose.
Allow players to introduce themselves to each
other. The Innkeeper, whose name is Barret,
runs an efficient inn. Several tapers, pumpkin
scented, are lit in an attempt to offset the stench
of the sulfur spring. Carli, Mindelin, and Ariana
are the waitresses and are a competent, if
uncomely, bunch.
Read or paraphrase the following.
The door to the tavern bangs open. A man
in full plate strides though the door, each
step a rattle and a bang. A tower shield is
slung over his shoulder and he carriers a
battle axe in his right hand.
He walks to the center of the tavern and
scans all within. His eyes narrow.
“I need a horse,” he says and his voice has
all the warm timbre of steel leaving a sheath.
“Not just any horse, but the finest horseflesh
there is. I need a heavy charger of the
Peshwah. I will pay handsomely for it.” He
scans the room looking at the occupants.
“This place is as close to the High Hak and
the Peshwah as any in the north. Surely,
someone here is up to the task.”
He waits for an answer.
The individual who just stormed into the tavern
is one Karnel Ordi, a Dragon Knight in search of
a very specific sort of mount.
Karnel is not forthcoming on his reasons for
being in Boggy Bottom. Karnel’s need is clear
Page 5
and he is looking for individuals to bring him a
Peshwah horse.
Once players approach Karnel or he approaches
them, read or paraphrase the following:
The armored man eyes you up and down
and then strides to the bar. He drops a
platinum coin on the countertop of the bar.
“A room,” he says, “Now! Bring food and
drink as we need.”
Ariana leads the way. The barmaid smiles
over her shoulder as she leads down a short
hall to a room. He glares at her until she
leaves and then sits down and gestures to
the table before him, “Sit. Ask. You have
questions?”
Read or paraphrase as necessary:
Who are you?
I am Karnel Ordi. I am a warrior of no small skill.
I am in need of a fine mount, a heavy steppes
charger. The Peshwah breed the finest. I need
one of these stallions.
Why don’t you go and get one yourself? You
look like a pretty sturdy warrior.
We all have a history. Mine does not allow me
to travel among the Peshwah. Yet their horses
are fine, and I have a need.
Are you a Dragon Knight?
If I were, I would not tell YOU so. It is enough I
offer you coin and commerce and my favor.
What did you do to the Peshwah?
I defended the honor of another. I cannot say
more than that. To do so would break an oath.
Suffice to say that I shed blood in a just cause
and in so doing, can no longer travel among the
Peshwah.
Why a Peshwah horse?
Their horses are sturdy, ride well over long
distance and are stronger than our thin-limbed
northern mounts. Specifically, I need a stallion
of the heaviest size and class. I would breed
him into the stock of my own herd and add that
vigor to my horse’s line.
How much will you pay?
I will pay 800 gold coins for such a heavy
steppes charger and 300 gold coins for a light
steppes charger. I will take no more than four
mounts and I need no more than one heavy
steppes charger.
How much will you pay up front?
I will spot each of you 50 gold coins. No more. I
will pay handsomely once you bring me the
horseflesh I desire. I will not pay up front
beyond this.
Any idea how much one of these horses will
cost? What do the Peshwah charge?
The price of horseflesh varies. A pure steppes
pony might cost 800 gold coins. For this I will
pay top coin. A horse of mixed Peshwah blood
would be worth less. I would be interested in
lesser horses but I truly desire a heavy steppes
charger of purest blood.
We don’t have enough money to buy a horse up
front. Can’t you front us more?
I cannot. You are people with some skill in the
field. I hope you have the wherewithal to solve
this problem yourself. No doubt something will
present itself to you as a solution.
Tell us about the Peshwah? What can we
expect from the Peshwah?
The Peshwah are honorable, but savage. They
are the finest horsemen in existence. They
value their horses above all else and many
among them have a connection to their horses
that stinks of the black arts. The Peshwah insult
easily and do not forgive quickly. If they call you
enemy, they do so forever. If they call you
friend, that will hold with them for all eternity too.
They are a primitive people, but just in their way.
If a Peshwah says a thing, they are bound to it.
There is no greater sin in their culture than to tell
a lie. There is much admirable about them.
There is also much to fear.
Where do we go to buy a horse?
Go to Sul Peshwan. It is a seasonal city of tents
in the heart of their lands. They freely trade
among the clans and with non-Peshwah in that
place. Know that the Peshwah may find you
and give you escort. This is something you
must accept. If you resist them they will
consider you an invader and respond
appropriately.
When the players are done talking to Karnel, he
will conclude with the following:
Page 6
“I will wait here for two months. I have
business in this area. Bring me my horses
and I will pay you well for them.”
Players can ask around Boggy Bottom about
Karnel Ordi and the Peshwah and gather the
following information based on their Gather
Information Checks. Very little is known about
Karnel. There is much speculation about the
Peshwah.
DC 5: The Peshwah begin raiding in spring.
DC10: Peshwah horses and riders have
one soul.
DC 15: Peshwah merchants keep their words
and are fanatical about their reputations.
DC 20: The Peshwah are broken into many
clans. The clans sometimes war
with each other.
Players may buy standard gear and weapons in
Boggy Bottom. (Any item from Tables 7-5, 7-6,
and 7-8 of the Player’s Handbook, excluding
spellcasting and services.)
When they are ready to proceed, go to Chapter
1.
If the players chose not to work for Karnel, then
the episode ends for them here.
Chapter 1: War Horns
Before reading this text, ask the players what
precautions they take while crossing the
distance overland and what their watch rotations
may be. Have them establish their nightly
routine. Document it as it may be relevant later
in the story.
The miles stretch behind you. Boggy
Bottom was where you made your ford and
the ferryman who brought you across the
river smiled grimly as he spoke. “’Eadin’
south among the ‘eathen are ye?” His eyes
measured each of you. “Sleep light and
keep a double guard. The Peshwuh’ll gut ye
as soon as look at ye.” He responded to
your silence with a smirk. Like all the
residents of Boggy Bottom, he made your
hand creep towards your weapon and made
you think caution was in order. His advice,
however, was sound.
 It was three hard days around the Ash Hills
to the remnants of the Gold Road. Two
more days took you around the edge of the
Blasted Forest and across the foothills of the
Wyverns. This last crossing was the most
disturbing so far.
Twice you sighted the creatures that give
the hills their name, slowly circling overhead,
looking for prey. Once, one fell, plummeting
to the brush some eight bowshots from you.
Some beast screamed in the distance as the
wyvern struck and then began to feed.
Three more days have past since you
entered the High Hak. The land is awash in
waist to chest high grasses and low rolling
hills. The rise and fall of the land feels more
like a sea than dry land.
There are Peshwah about. Of this, you are
certain. You have heard the soft whicker of
horses. Once, you saw a lone rider observe
you for long minutes, only to dash off at a
gallop as soon as you began to approach.
Huge one-horned grazers lumbered past in
a large herd. The dominant bull eyed you
warily and snorting his displeasure at your
scent. He seems to think you do not belong
here.
Today, the sunrise brought flowers. The
grasses that you had been traveling through
began to bloom. The blossoms are white
and pale blue, each with a deep red mark on
the petals. The green of the grass was
crowned with white caps of flower, dappled
blue and blood red. As the heat of the day
came on, the flowers gave up their dust, the
red pollen blowing in crimson clouds. Some
of you sniff and wheeze under the
onslaught. Others grin grimly under the
bloody stain.
The pollen sticks to your gear and
everything has a fine coating of dust, dust
the color of blood. The wind, ever present,
seems to carry a red mist. It is unsettling.
In the distance, you hear a war horn.
Ask players to make a Listen check. The
following information is available based on their
result:
DC 10 Combat is going on over the next rise.
Page 7
DC 15 People fighting are speaking both Afridhi
and Peshwahan.
DC 20 Peshwan speakers hear someone
crying out for help. Afridhi speakers hear a
victory howls.
Ask players what they are doing. This
encounter is time sensitive. Every round beyond
the first that the players delay moving towards
the sound and engaging in the combat, causes
Sulla and his mount Uri to take an additional 5
hit points each.
If the players ignore combat, allow them to
easily bypass the combat and proceed to
Chapter 6, where they have to trade for a horse
without Sulla. This adds difficulty to their job
and limits their ability to get steppes chargers.
If players choose to enter the combat, they
encounter:
ATL 1 (EL 3)
Afridhi fighter: Medium Human (Afridhi), hp 12,
See appendix I.
Afridhi warriors (4): Medium Human (Afridhi),
hp 9, See Dave Arneson’s Blackmoor p. 188.
Light warhorse (3): Large Animal, hp 19, see
Monster Manual p. 274.
ATL 3 (EL 5)
Afridhi fighter: Medium Human (Afridhi), hp 24,
See appendix I.
Afridhi warriors (6): Medium Human (Afridhi),
hp 9, See DAB p. 188.
Light warhorse (5): Large Animal, hp 19, see
MM p. 274.
ATL 5 (EL 7)
Afridhi fighter (2): Medium Human (Afridhi), hp
42, See appendix I.
Afridhi warriors (4): Medium Human (Afridhi),
hp 9, See DAB p. 188.
Light warhorse (5): Large Animal, hp 19, see
MM p. 274.
The encounters are adjusted for Sulla’s
presence. Sulla fights alongside the players
during combat.
The Afridhi have straightforward tactics and
motivations. Two of the Afridhi warriors are on
foot, the remaining Afridhi are on horseback.
Those of their number that are unhorsed spend
one round firing arrows into the last of the
Peshwah’s rider less mounts, killing them off.
Those that are horsed break into two groups,
half going after the party and half going after
Sulla.
If, for some reason, the party attacks Sulla, he
will assume they are more outland raiders and
fight them to his death. The players may
proceed to Chapter 6.
If players assist and are victorious, then
paraphrase or read as befits your style.
The lone Peshwah eyes you warily. His
body is coated with the same crimson stain
as yours. The air is filled with crimson dust
and it mixes with the blood of the fallen in
clots both on your skin and on the ground.
He speaks, “Peshwan na Sulla, kafa
Hadeen na. Wisu beh caru kah.” He nods
his chin. When he sees that (all of) you do
not understand, he says, “I am Peshwan na
Sulla, star born of Hadeen. Why walk you
the land in the Blood Wind?”
His curved saber and heavy bladed hand
axe are held at rest. He stands ready, thick
muscles coiled like springs, ready to
respond to action on your part.
His piercing brown eyes stare out from
under a crimson stained brow.
The conversation that follows is critical to the
outcome of the episode. Sulla knows that he
has a very slim chance of accomplishing his
appointed journey by himself. He knows that the
Afridhi travel in large units and believes that this
group was probably outriders and scouts for a
larger unit. He is cautious, but aware he needs
assistance to accomplish his task. He is also
worried about Ikiru.
Sulla is more open to communication and
alliance that most Peshwah would be, but he is
desperate and knows he must compromise. If
the players are polite to him and respectful, he
will respond to them well. He is a proud man,
and does not deal with insults well. However, he
is as curious about the players, as they are
Page 8
about him, and understands that some
miscommunication may occur.
Sulla does not tolerate the looting of his
kinsmen’s bodies and gets very aggressive and
vehement on this issue. He does not care if the
players loot the Afridhi corpses and actually
plans to do the same himself and expects his
share of the loot. The items found are detailed
in the Mementoes section of this episode. Make
certain the players can carry all the gear they
find, as it is mostly armor. If the Afridhi mounts
are still alive, players may use them to carry
items or ride upon them as spoils from the
combat. These items may become central to the
trading they must do later in Sul Peshwah. Most
parties, especially parties of lower level, will
need to hoard equipment to support the
purchases they need to make to satisfy their
patron.
Once Sulla and the party have come to terms,
Sulla asks their assistance in building a pyre for
his kinsmen. Sulla was traveling with five
others, four men and one woman. They were all
cousins or close friends.
As always use the information provided below
as a guideline for the conversation and
paraphrase as needed in question and answer
format or as a conversational format.
Who are you again?
I am Peshwan na Sulla, star born of Hadeen and
a ranger of my people, the Somhak.
What are the Somhak?
The Somhak is a horseclan of the Peshwah
people. The name “Somhak” means the “Sons
of Hak.”
Who is Hak?
He is “Horselord” and “Father of the Stars.” He is
the creator and patron god over the Peshwah.
Star born? What is that? Who is Hadeen?
Hadeen is the fallen god, slain by his jealous
and wicked brother, Calelrin. Twenty-seven
years ago, the god was slain by an act of wicked
treachery. On the night he fell, I was conceived.
On the night of my birth, the night burned with
fire and a rock of sky metal fell. My father
claimed it as his own. These events are
auspicious. Our shaman says I am marked by
the god.
What were you doing out here on the plains?
I have been instructed by the Leado of my
people to travel across the Hak to the land of the
Zah and meet with the Peshwah na Ikiru of the
Zah. She is a wokan and a seer.
What’s a Leado?
He is our leader. Through trial of arms and the
wisdom of his counsel, he stands as first among
us.
What are the Zah?
The Zah is a horseclan of the Peshwah people.
The Zah are the “Revered Ones.” They are
powerful prophets of the Peshwah peoples as
they hold counsel with both gods and men.
Why were you sent to see Ikiru?
I am to be judged by Ikiru. I can say no more
than this on this issue at this time.
What can you tell us about Peshwah na Ikiru?
She lives in a house of sod no more than a day
from here. She is a holy woman of the Zah. As
she is Zah, she is a mystic. Her clan has the
touch of the gods. My clan is the Somhak. We
are the war leaders of the Peshwah.
Who attacked you? What about the Afridhi?
Seldom do war parties of the Afridhi travel this
deep into the Hak. They have the look of raiders
or scouts. They travel light and their horses are
thin. I worry they support a greater host.
Afridhi, what are they?
Surely you must know of the cursed whelps of
Zugzul. They are curs and dogs who worship a
murderous god of fire. They hail from the goblin
kush far to the west. They have taken the lands
of the Hak from us and the Duchy of Ten fell
before them. Now they raid into our sacred
lands. (He spits.) They are cursed. I hear they
raid into Blackmoor too. A curse upon them.
What is the Blood Wind?
It is called the caru kah. It is a time of grim
tiding and evil omen. The souls of those lost on
the Hak are freed from the land. The wise say
that all that is slain on the High Hak, be it grazer,
Peshwah or outsider loses its blood to the land.
In spring the Blood Wind comes and the flowers
bleed back the life of the fallen. The flowers are
called the Caru Ji. This means blood petals in
the trade language of the barbarians.
Who traveled with you?
Page 9
Those of my mother’s blood. Children of her
sisters. My closest friend and saddle mate
traveled with me too. All are lost to me.
Why can’t we take their gear? They have no
use for it!
Loot the Afridhi, as you will. I will do the same.
To take the gear of the Peshwah is to shame
their spirit and send them naked into the
afterlife. You are ignorant, so I bear you no ill
will in this. But know this, to make my cousins
beggars before their ancestors, is to have me
swear a blood oath against you.
What happened to the Peshwah horses?
This is a sacred thing I speak of and the gift of
the great god Hak. The Peshwah and their
horses are one. Their minds mix and many of
us speak the language of our horse brothers.
The blessed among us find a horse who
understands our heart and enter into sacred
bond with it. Uri is my horse and of my blood as
truly as my cousins. When one of the partners
of the sacred bond is slain, the ache of loss is
overwhelming. For the Peshwah, the mourning
is profound and lasts for one week. Most horses
are broken by the loss. Their hearts turn bitter
and twisted by rage and they must be
surrendered back into the Hak or slain.
Doesn’t everyone have a horse?
Peshwah are people of the horse. But not all of
us can hear our horses’ voice. Some cannot
and they live a life of heart blind sorrow. The
only soul they know is their own. But you know
this. You soul is deaf too, is it not?
We would like to buy a horse. We would like to
buy a heavy steppes charger stallion for
breeding? Where can we buy Peshwah horses?
The Peshwah do not part with their horses
easily. We have been known to cull the herd of
the weak by passing these horses to outlanders.
Such trade is restricted to those who have
earned our trust and shown they have love for
things beyond themselves.
Why don’t we help you and then you help us get
a horse?
I have thought the same. Know this, I cannot
commit fully to speaking for you until we have
traveled further. That you have fought beside
me against the Afridhi speaks well of you. I will
travel with you. I will bring you before Ikiru na
Peshwah. If she determines that you are worthy
of the gift of horse, then I will help you trade for
a good horse in Sul Peshwah.
Sulla makes this last suggestion if players do not
bring it up themselves. Once players offer to
travel with him, or if players help him tend to his
fallen kinsmen, Sulla will offer to help heal their
wounds with his cure light wounds wand.
Players who strike a deal with Sulla and who
agree to travel to Ikiiru’s dwelling proceed to
Chapter 2. Sulla pushes to leave immediately,
as he is concerned that there are Afridhi about.
He estimates that the party will be at Ikiru’s at
about sunset in one day’s time.
Others may proceed to Chapter 6 if they choose
not to accompany Sulla.
Chapter 2: Force and Flight
Sunset always bathes the land in a crimson
palette, but the pall cast by the Blood Wind
is macabre. The grit of the plant’s dusty
pollen has been made worse by the sweat of
the day and the bloodletting you engaged in
earlier. The copper tang of the charnel
house clings to you.
Sulla has been tight lipped as you journeyed
today. Many close to him have died today
and his grief surrounds him. There is
sadness to him. He holds up his hand to
halt your motion. Uri breathed deeply and
snorts, testing the air for danger and, no
doubt, Afridhi.
“We should be close,” he covers his eyes
from the sun with his hand. “Sulla points to
a rippling field in front of you. Under his
direction you can see that there is a
depression ahead. Before, the detail was
lost in the contour of the land. He drops off
his horse and rubs its flank. He speaks to it
in soft knickers. The animal stomps its foot.
“I will scout ahead. Who comes with me?
Allow the players the chance to comment. Sulla
is not eager to approach this area without some
recon first. He is worried that the enemy may be
present here and says so. He is quite amenable
to the discussion of different strategies for recon
and is impressed if anyone suggests that a full
sweep of the perimeter looking for tracks may be
in order.
Page 10
Players that advance with Sulla should make
Hide and Move Silently Checks. There are no
opponents present here but the process adds
narrative tension.
Read the following box text to the appropriate
players once they have arrived at Ikiru’s
compound.
Another battle! This one clearly involved
magic. Great circular blasts tore up the sod
here, twisting the turf and flattening the
grass. Twisted and battered bodies of what
must have once been men and horses litter
the ground.
The center of the carnage is an unassuming
sod hut. Chaos reigns in a ring around the
house. Fallen Afridhi lay in a ring around
the entrance to the domicile and then in the
doorway itself. At least you think they are
Afridhi, they have been stripped of their
gear. The skin tone is right for that
particular breed of man, as is the style of
hair and beards.
Sulla curses, “Blood of Hadeen!” and grits
his teeth.
What do you do?
What follows are a series of environmental
descriptors for this area as well as role-playing
notes for Sulla. What he has experienced today
has rattled him. Still, he has been given a very
specific and important request by his Leado. He
has an obligation to attempt to fulfill his quest.
Likewise, he feels he must save Ikiru.
Searching the area around the battlefield yields
the following information:
Survival Check with the Track Feat:
DC 5: This fight occurred sometime today. A
large group of people departed on horseback
heading due west.
DC10: There were about 50 to 60 Afridhi
involved, about 25 of them were killed. Tracks
into Ikiru’s home lead off in three directions. The
place was attacked from all sides.
DC 15: Animals were involved in the defense of
the sod house. One of the defenders was a
bear of unusual size. There is a mustering point
where the attackers formed up and broke up into
small groups to encircle the house about a ½
mile to the south of the house. The fight took
place about three hours ago, (almost one day
after Sulla was attacked).
DC 20 The large bear was Ikiru, as the bear’s
tracks lead to a point where a small human
woman stood. Several other animals seem to
have appeared out of nowhere.
Search or Survival Check without the Track feat:
DC 5: The bodies are definitely Afridhi. There
are 26 of them.
DC 10: The Afridhi completely scavenged Ikiru’s
house.
DC15: There is no Peshwah body anywhere in
the combat zone.
Spellcraft Check with the Track feat:
Examining the animal tracks:
DC20: These were most likely summoned
creatures.
Specifically examining the bear’s tracks:
DC 15: Most likely someone shape changed.
(Knowledge: Arcana DC 15 indicates this is an
innate ability of wokan)
Specifically examining the “blast marks”
DC 23: The blast marks were from a stone
ball DAB pp.87
Talking to Sulla
Sulla is a bit rattled at this point, but is very fixed
in his purpose. Read or paraphrase from below
based on the questions asked.
Sulla’s primary concern is that Ikiru is safe.
Even if he is not successful on his personal
mission, she is one of the blessed of his people
and her person is sacred. Her safety is
paramount and he is terrified that something she
knows might be put to foul use by the Afridhi.
Once the players have nearly concluded their
search, read the following box text:
Sulla stalks out of the house and whistles. Uri
raises his head and snorts and trots towards his
bondsmen.
Sulla fluidly swings into the saddle. He looks at
all of you. “Outlanders, I will not beg nor ask you
to walk the path before me. Ikiru is sacred to my
people. As wokan, she is magic made flesh,
and as rare as mercy in a dragon’s ear I must
pursue her captors, though it be my death.
“Hika Ai!” he says and rides out along the
trampled path left by the Afridhi.
Page 11
Players who speak Peshwahan, translate “Hika
Ai!” as “It is a good day to die.”
Sulla is Peshwah. He will not relent on this
issue and sees the rescue of Ikiru as his
absolute duty. It would be completely
dishonorable for him to walk away from this
situation.
At the same time, players must pursue him and
get him to halt.
Where are you going? Wait for us? What are
you doing?
Ikiru must be rescued. We are outnumbered
five to one from the spoor of the track. You are
not Peshwah. I will not ask you to shed your
blood against such odds. I must go.
We’re coming with you.
Sulla stares at you. “You are not like others not
of the people. All others I have met hunger for
gold and will do only for profit. Some are filled
with lust for our horses, not seeing that the
greatness of the mounts comes from the bond of
our hearts. So, if you come with me, you will
take up the burden of my honor. I will owe you a
debt of blood and steel and in so owing, change
us both. Come then. Ride with me.
What’s so special about Ikiru?
She is Wokan. She has great knowledge of the
Hak and of the Peshwah. She will know if I
might truly be chosen of Hadeen or if the events
of my birth have no meaning beyond the
phantom of my kinsmen’s desire. She is a
keeper of secrets and of truth. Her truths cannot
fall into the hands of the enemy.
We need to rest the horses. We need to rest.
We need to get our spells back.
I know these things. However, we cannot let the
trail fade. We should follow while there is still
sun. The full moon comes in one week. We will
have some few hours moonlight to follow by
come the sunset. We must make what time we
can and camp tonight.
These two attacks seem coordinated. They
knew you were coming. This can’t be
coincidence?
The Afridhi move across the High Hak in great
numbers. They normally raid to destroy and
either butcher our herds or seek out our elderly,
our weak and youngest. Slaying those seeps
joy from our lives and kills the days before us. I
agree with you and fear the meaning of what
you say.
Sulla does not wait and if the players stay
behind, he advances by himself and dies during
the night. Players who follow in the morning find
the remnants of the Afridhi camp, and find
Sulla’s stripped and mangled corpse. After this,
the Afridhi break into small teams and ride off in
all directions. Allow the players to continue on
to Chapter 6 without Sulla. If players go with
Sulla, proceed to Chapter 3.
Chapter 3: Into the Red of Night
Sulla has spent as much time with his head
down and his face pressed to the grass, as he
has on Uri’s back scanning the horizon. He has
burned a sunrod as he moved forward, hiding its
light as best he could in the tall grass.
The Blood wind does not blow, but the night has
taken on an unseasonable heat. The dust sticks
to you now as you sweat. The red dust stains
you hands and your comrades’ skins and face.
The entire world is awash in the blood red dust
and it coats you, making your figure fade into the
crimson night. Your horse twitches, as does Uri.
In the distance, you hear laughter, loud and
coarse.
Arrival at the camp is just before 9 p.m. The
players have time to plan their next actions. The
Afridhi were battered by their encounter with the
wokan and many of their number were injured.
As a result, they are not in top form. The Afridhi
in charge of the mission were slain by the
wokan. The two, who remain, Losseth and
Grenja, are talented Afridhi, but new to power
and their positions of authority. The security of
the camp is somewhat lax as a consequence
Players who just want to rush forward and attack
meet with stunned dismay from Sulla. He
explains in no uncertain terms that that particular
course of action is unwise and potentially lethal
for all involved. He counsels stealth but expects
to consult with the players as to the best course
of action. Likewise, he recognizes that not
everyone is suited for the task.
Ikiru is in the large tent at the center of camp.
She is being questioned and beaten until
Page 12
midnight. After this point Losseth and Grenja
stop torturing her and move on to other pursuits.
Central to the action of this encounter is how the
players handle the sentries and move into camp.
The Afridhi have two guards whose entire job is
to keep the torches lit. Players who observe the
camp for at least forty minutes see the two come
out and do their rotation. A number of other
guards (2 at ATL 1, 3 at ATL 3, and 4 at ATL 5)
are evenly spaced and walking the perimeter.
Guard shift changes at 10:00 p.m. 2 a.m. and 6
a.m.
The Night’s timeline:
6:00 p.m.: Afridhi make camp, build cook
fires, and torches are set along the perimeter
by guards.
7:00 p.m.: Afridhi begin preparing meals.
Leaders enter tent to question Ikiru.
8:00 p.m.: Afridhi warriors cut loose from the
influence of command begin to raid stores for
alcohol.
9:00 p.m.: Small fights break out. Losers
get stuck with guard duty.
10:00 p.m.: Players catch up to Afridhi camp
just as the moon sets, first guard shift
change.
11:00 p.m.: First of the Afridhi pass out or
go to bed.
12:00 a.m.: Loseth and Grenja stop
questioning Ikiru and go to bed.
1:00 a.m.: All of camp is asleep except the
guards.
2:00 a.m.: Second guard shift change.
5:30 a.m.: Camp begins to wake up.
Players encounter different levels of hazard
approaching the camp based on what time of
night it is and their ATL. More guards are awake
at higher ATLs. Approaching the camp between
10:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. mean players will have
1d4+ATL worth of Afridhi make Spot and Listen
checks against them as they move forward.
This number drops to 1+ATL after 1:00 p.m.
Assume guards have a Spot and Listen score of
+0. Round all calculations involving the number
of guards down.
Sneaking up on the camp through the grass is
relatively easy. The grass provides a +5 bonus
on Hide checks and a +5 bonus on Move
Silently checks. If players state that they are
coating themselves in the dust of the Blood
Wind, which gives them an additional +5 on their
Hide checks in this instance. Players may make
a Survival Check DC15 to note the useful nature
of the dust.
The torches set along the perimeter of the camp
illuminate the grassland out to 40 feet with
shadowy illumination and out to 20 feet with
bright illumination.
Approaching the camp before 1:00 a.m. has its
hazards but is not impossible. Because the
players are looking into a well-lit area, it is
readily apparent to them that the Afridhi are
present and where they are. When players are
within 100 feet, allow them to make Spot and
Listen checks. Based on the time of night,
provide them the information listed below. As
the Afridhi are unable to see them at this range,
players can take 20 as they need.
Before 1a.m.
Spot Checks:
DC 5: There are a bunch of men inside the
camp. They have one central fire. 12 torches
ring the camp along what seems to be some sort
of perimeter.
DC 10: There is a large tent at the center of
camp. The horses are tethered in a double line
near the tent.
DC 15: Several of the figures in the camp are
staggering around. There is a great deal of
cover from the edge is the camp on the north
side, to its center. The tack and gear of the
horses has been carelessly piled and offers
several points to hide behind.
DC 20: The precise number of guards walking
around the perimeter of the camp is visible to
the player. The guards travel as individuals.
They walk on the inside of the perimeter.
DC 25: There are two guards stationed near the
tent. One every hour they walk the perimeter as
a team, replacing torches.
Before 1 a.m.
Listen checks:
DC 5: There are men and horses within camp.
DC 10: Several of the Afridhi are drunk
DC 15: There are occasional loud Afridhi voices
near the center of camp. They seem to be
yelling questions.
DC 20: The voices in the center of camp are
speaking Peshwah, but their accent in Afridhi.
After 1 a.m.
Spot Checks
DC 5: There have one central fire that has died
down to almost nothing. 12 torches ring the
Page 13
camp along what seems to be some sort of
perimeter.
DC 10: There are a bunch of men inside the
camp asleep in clusters.
DC 15: There is a large tent at the center of
camp. The horses are tethered in a double line
near the tent. There is a great deal of cover
from the edge is the camp on the north side, to
its center. The tack and gear of the horses has
been carelessly piled. It offers several points to
hide behind or beside.
DC 20: The precise number of guards walking
around the perimeter of the camp is visible to
the player. The guards travel as individuals.
They walk on the inside of the perimeter.
DC 25: There are two guards stationed near the
tent. Once every hour they walk the perimeter
together, replacing torches.
After 1 a.m.
Listen checks
DC 10: Several Afridhi snore loudly.
DC 15: One of the guards hums to himself.
DC 20: There are two guards near the center of
camp, near the tents. They are arguing over
something.
Once players start to move closer to the camp,
their chance of being spotted increased as noted
above. This is especially true at higher ATLs
when there are more potential guards awake
and aware.
The Afridhi guards have had a tough time of it.
As a result, many of them are wounded and they
are about fed up with this entire adventure.
Many of the guards are wounded and carrying
injuries.
Infiltration
Wise parties wait until the camp begins to
collapse into exhaustion at around midnight.
Wise players also pull back and grab some
sleep themselves. Refer to the rules for fatigue
and exhaustion in the PHB pp 164.
There are about 35 Afridhi left in camp at ATL 1
(45 at ATL 3 and 65 at ATL5). All save the
guards are asleep after 12 a.m. Only about 12
of the Afridhi are awake between 10 p.m. and
midnight. Prior to 10 p.m., assume all the Afridhi
are aware, although all are not paying attention
to camp. After midnight, about 10 of the Afridhi
are too drunk to respond to an attack and will
sleep through the night regardless of what
happens; only rousting and moving to the most
forceful of stimulus.

Players can either attempt to sneak up and pass
the guards, or attempt to take them out quickly.
Sneaking in and then up to the tent requires a
series of opposed rolls for the players, with the
party member with the worst roll being the
lowest common denominator. Players, who
have noticed the relatively concealed area and
choose to sneak along the piled tack, will have a
+4 situational modifier to both their Hide and
Move Silently checks. Guards have a listen and
spot of +0.
Players can also attempt to take out the guards
quickly and silently. Players can hide in the
shadowy margin of the torchlight and rush and
attack guards. Likewise, players can attempt to
snipe and drop guards. Assume that a guard
who is not killed raises the alarm and begins
waking the camp. If a guard is dropped into
negative hit points or killed outright, then have
the other guards make opposed Spot and Listen
checks to see of they spot the players. Players
can time their attacks so that there are at least
30 feet between their targets and the other
guards. This provides a -3 modifier to Listen
and Spot checks. Likewise, if players stage an
effective distraction, that provides and additional
-5 to Spot checks. Players have to act relatively
quickly though. Guards will begin to notice that
their compatriots are missing after 120 seconds.
Simulate this by having the surviving guards
take 20 on this check.
A party, who plans well, can probably take out
all the guards fairly quickly, however.
It is harder to pull this off at higher ATLs.
Sulla mentally summons Uri and the rest of the
party’s horses if he thinks the jig is up. Uri will
be there in three rounds.
The Afridhi Horses
Strung in a double line next to tent are the afridhi
horses, about 40 in number. Players may
choose to drive off the horses as they flee or to
steal several as they escape. The horses are all
standard light warhorses.

Rousting the Camp
If the players roust the camp, they fight the
Afridhi camp en masse. This is an untiered
encounter. Assume that one quarter of the
Afridhi will engage the players every other round
until they are all slain, the players overcome
them, or the players withdraw. Note that after
midnight 20 can be subtracted from the number
of Afridhi, as they will be stone drunk and
passed out. Should unusual circumstances
occur and they begin to wake up treat these
drunken Afridhi as sickened (PHB p. 312.)
Grenja and Loseth join the fight 8 rounds after it
begins.
Chapter 4: Ikiru’s Torment
This encounter is triggered when players enter
the tent. Grenja and Loseth are relatively light
sleepers. The horses tethered outside the tent
snort and stomp as the players enter, examine,
or creep into the tent, unless precautions are
taken.
There are three ways to enter the tent. Players
can wiggle under the tent wall. This requires a
DC 10 Escape Artist check. Players enter in
through the tent flap. It is tied shut form the
inside so players have to make a DC 10 Use
Rope check or a DC 13 strength check to burst
through. Players may make a man sized slit in
the tent and enter by overcoming the leather
tents hardness of 2 and doing 5 hit points of
damage to the tent wall.
Once the players are inside, read the following:
A single torch gutters in the center of this
space, held aloft by an iron stand. Ornate
flaming eyes twist around the length of the
stand, etched into its surface.
A Peshwah woman hangs limply from two posts,
bound by leather thongs to the wood. She has
been beaten.
Sprawled on a hide-covered cot next to her, are
two Afridhi.
Outside, a horse whinnies loudly. One of the
Afridhi tosses in his bed and then stares straight
at you. He grunts something guttural and
springs up to attack. His face twists in a snarl of
rage.
Loseth recovered her spells at midnight and has
her full battery again. Loseth healed them both
to full after Ikiru was captured. Grenja wades
straight in attacking the players with brutal force.
Loseth uses her magic as long as is practical
and then enter melee. Grenja and Loseth fight
to the death, and try to raise an alarm.

Sleeping Afridhi will not respond to their shouts,
as the tent has had shouts and screams coming
form it all night long. Any guards that have been
bypassed will come and join the fight, after
kicking several Afridhi in the head to wake them
up. See rousting the camp for instructions on
how to handle this.
Contents of the tent
There are several unlit braziers in this tent, a
campaign table and several folding chairs. Two
chests are in the room. One is filled with normal
clothes and other adventuring gear. It has
clearly been pawed through by someone. The
Page 15
second chest is locked with a lock of excellent
quality (DC 30 Open Lock). The specific items
are detailed in the Mementoes section and are
detailed by ATL. Ikiru’s gear is present also.
Ikiru’s response
They have beaten Ikiru into unconsciousness.
Ikiru has also taken a substantial amount of her
hit points and is currently at -3 HP. Ikiru has
been grossly mistreated at the hands of the
Afridhi. If healed before the fight is over, Ikiru
will do what she can to assist, given that she
doesn’t have access to gear or material
components. If brought back to consciousness
after the fight has ended, Ikiru will immediately
search through the hides piled on the bed and
come up with a key. She then pops open the
chest in the room and secures her gear. She is
uncommunicative as she does these things and
speaks in quick affirming or negating grunts. If
someone beats her to her gear, she asks for it
and makes clear that she will help identify the
rest of the items in the chest and on the slain
Afridhi. Taking Ikiru’s gear or killing Ikiru is an
evil act with appropriate consequences within
the campaign.
Once these issues have been resolved, Ikiru is
fully active partner is planning the party’s
escape. Ikiru has exhausted her shape changes
for the day and has used much of her daily
allotment of spells. She advocates taking all the
horses and stampeding out of the camp,
trampling as many Afridhi as is possible.
Ikiru states, “The Afridhi curs will follow. “We
must take their horses and sunder their honor.
Let us ride their horses over their sleeping flesh
and send them to their bloody god.”
Whatever course of action the party determines,
both Sulla and Ikiru counsel speed and brutality.
They are very concerned that the Afridhi will
pursue.
Chapter 5: Flight
If the Afridhi have lost their mounts:
Players may leave the Afridhi camp behind them
in a state of complete disarray and confusion.
The Afridhi’s leaders may be dead, their guards
killed, and their horses scattered and stolen.
The surviving Afridhi will not pursue the players.
Rather they break into two man teams and begin
making their way on foot across the High Hak.
There is very little chance of their successful
escape from the land of the Peshwah on foot.
The riders of the Adiel and the Irfat will no doubt
find them and slay them.
Read the following box text if the players have
shattered the Afridhi camp
Hoarse shouts and cries of fear echo in the night
behind you. The surviving Afridhi are trying to
make sense of what just happened to them.
The mounts you captured from the Afridhi pound
away to your left and right. The air is filled with
the sounds of your flight.
You ride through the blood red night. The taste
of victory is sweet.
If the Afridhi have their mounts:
Players may not have been as effective, or most
importantly, may not have scattered the Afridhi
horses. If this is the case, players are closely
pursued by half of the remaining Afridhi. The
other half stay behind and secure the Afridhi’s
supplies.
The pursuit is close if the players flee on foot, as
they are mounting and fleeing the scene about
the time the Afridhi are taking off in pursuit.
For ease of play, have players make an
opposed Ride check versus the Afridhi’s Ride
check at the appropriate ATL. If player’s lowest
score is beaten by the Afridhi; they have been
ridden down by the Afridhi on much fresher
mounts. Read the following:
The Afridhi riders are behind you. You can hear
the clatter of their horses and the hoarse shouts
of the pursuing warriors. Behind you a war horn
sounds. They are close.
Switch to initiative at this point and have the
players resolve the conflict with half of the
remaining Afridhi from the camp. Use the
statistics provided for in Chapter 3.
Aftermath
At some point, the players, Sulla and Ikiru are
free of pursuit and have completely dealt with
the Afridhi threat.
Players should be conscious of how many
horses they manage to keep with them. Have
each players make a DC10 Handle Animal
Page 16
check (trained only) or Wild Empathy check, or a
Charisma Check DC 20. For every increment of
5 above the check, the player has kept one
horse beyond their personal mount with them.
Someone who rolls a Handle Animal DC 27, for
example, has three horses in addition to their
mount with them.
Once the danger has passed, Ikiru asks the
following:
“We took flight like fatted crows from a stripped
corpse. I would know the lineage and names of
those who have spent their blood in defense of
Peshwah. Pretty birds you are. Some not
crows at all. Some are pretty as songbirds.
Speak, tell me who rides with me.”
Sulla is completely deferential to Ikiru and calls
her “Honored sister” and “Venerable Zah.” Ikiru
is fairly bombastic and coarse. She is loud and
irreverent. She calls Sulla, “Little Crow.” She
names each of the players after birds and rarely
use their actual name. Individuals dressed in
bright colors are called “Blue jay or Cardinal.
Subdued players are called “Quiet little
Sparrow.” Dour types or dwarves are called
“Buzzard.” Elves becomes “Meadow Larks.”
Eventually Ikiru asks Sulla why a “Little Crow”
would seek her out. Sulla lets her know that his
Uncle, Peshwan na Fetti, Leado of the Somhak,
believes he may be the Chosen of Hadeen and
destined to find the bow of Hadeen.
Ikiru will respond to this as follows:
Fetti?!? Oh, I know your Uncle. Is he still fat
and a burden for his horse? Oh Little Crow. I
see my words nettle. Sad, sad, sad. Does the
Chosen of Hadeen bristle like a young stallion at

For two days they have escorted you, in exactly
the manner described by your patron. For the
last day you have seen the hills they refer to as
Sul Peshwan raise out of the plains.
Arrayed around the base of the hills is a ring of
tents numbering in the hundreds. A well-worked
path leads up the hillside into a hollow arm of
the hill. “This” your escort gestures to a chaotic
jumble of tents arrayed before you, “is Su Aba
Sinj. The place for the unclean.”
“Do not enter the hills. You are not Peshwah
and will be killed on site for trespassing. You
may only stay and trade here.” He lifts his chin
in the direction of the tent city.
“Be warned, outlanders. You are among the
People and have no patron of alliance of clan.
There are many who will see you as fair sport for
dueling and theft. Defend yourselves, as you
need. Be warned that to slay a Peshwah is to
have his kinsmen swear a blood debt.”
“Luck of the Hak to you.”
With that, the Peshwah ride off. You are on your
own.
Su Aba Sinj is for and about trade. The
Peshwah use a standard barter system.
Sulla’s presence makes it much easier to trade.
Players who are with Sulla can barter for basic
items in the PHB and any basic mount without
difficulty. The party has the ability to barter for
one Heavy Steppes Chargers, if they have taken
Ikiru’s tattoo. This requires that they openly
display the tattoo that Ikiru gave them. That
they have become friends with a wokan soon
becomes common knowledge among the
Peshwah. Players who are not with Sulla must
barter twice list price for all items. Likewise,
they will only be able to barter for normal horses,
albeit of excellent quality, while they are in Su
Aba Sinj.
Parties with Peshwah in them are able to trade
as if Sulla were with them in all ways save one.
No one sells a Steppes charger to them unless
at least one of them has the tattoo of Ikiru.
Allow players to engage in free form role-playing
while in Su Aba Sinj. Players can spend as
much or as little time role-playing as they want.
Page 18
Players may shop, drink and engage in almost
any activity they can imagine. Enjoy yourself.
Players may barter any items they have seized
so far at half book value. This is one way for
them to generate enough capital to barter
horses from their patron.
Regardless of whether players are with Sulla or
not, they are instructed to go to Peshwah na
Merna of the Faleem. Merna is the only
Peshwah present that trades horses with non-
Peshwah. He is also the only Peshwah who will
trade a Steppes Charger to players if they have
Ikiru’s tattoo.
Merna is a calm and effective merchant. He
barters mixed breed light warhorses for 150 gp,
mixed breed heavy warhorses for 400 gp, light
steppes chargers for a value of 300 gp and
heavy steppes chargers for a value 800 gp. He
has horses of any color. He has only one heavy
steppes charger and nine light steppes
chargers.
Agents of Calelerin
Players who travel with Sulla are picked out and
attacked in an attempt to kill him. Players who
travel without Sulla are targeted by the same
group.
The cult of Calelrin has survived by being
cautious and circumspect. They do not directly
expose themselves and work cautiously and
effectively though agents and those whose
agendas align with their own. Exposure among
the Peshwah as a worshipper of Calelrin is
tantamount to a death sentence. Because of
this, the children of the Deceiver are capable of
fluid and liquid deception and subterfuge.
Players who are not traveling with Sulla are
targeted by the exact same group. However,
the band of Peshwah toughs pick them out
because they are outlanders who are flashing
wealth, not because they are paid to do so.

The Peshwah rogues attack the players when
they are finishing a meal, or preferably,
completely inebriated. Although timed to catch
players at their weakest, the attack will be in a
public space and is fairly straightforward.
Conflict like this is routine among the Peshwah.
Sometimes it goes until first blood. Sometimes it
goes until the death. In this particular case, the
Peshwah will fight until three quarters of their
number are slain and then flee.
Fleeing Peshwah can be pursued through the
tent city if players can match or exceed the
Peshwah’s speed via Ride Checks and beat
them in opposed Hide vs. Spot checks.
The Peshwah are of mixed clan heritage and
have each done something to warrant exile.
They are a rough bunch and very fatalistic.
There death will go relatively unnoticed.
Although a group of Somhak warriors will
question players after the battle.
Captured Peshwah will be shamed and will have
little to share with players. If Sulla is present,
the Peshwah lets the players know they were
paid to attack them by a Faleem merchant who
they insulted. This may make no sense to the
players. Sulla tells them that it is not uncommon
for Peshwah who are incapable of enacting their
own vengeance to pay for someone else to do it
for them. Players who are not with Sulla re
attacked because they looked rich and are
carrying a lot of wealth.
Page 19
Once players have purchased their gear and
horses and dealt with the Peshwah, let them do
whatever role-playing they desire and then
proceed to the chapter 7, if they are with Sulla or
directly to the Finale section if they are not.
Chapter 7: Leaving the Blood
Wind
If the players have traveled with Sulla back to
Ikiru, read or paraphrase the following:
The Blood Wind fades as you cross the land
back to Ikiru. The flowers rain their petals flutter
where once blood red clouds of dust painted the
land crimson, gossamer petals of blue and white
waft in the wind. It is beautiful.
Ikiru waits for you outside of her sod house.
She has rebuilt it. “Little Crow flies home with his
murder! “she cackles and smiles warmly at all of
you.
“Come! Come! Two rabbits were unwise and I
have made stew of them. Let me feed my
friends. Join me.”
Peshwah na Ikiru feeds the players and Sulla.
She makes small talk as player interest and time
allow. At this point she pulls one of the players
aside and gives them the gift of Ikiru as detailed
in the Mementoes section.
Sulla lets the players know that he is staying
with Ikiru for the next three months and that they
will be walking the land as she learns whether or
not he truly chosen of Hadeen.
Non-Peshwah players cannot stay with Sulla as
this is something he must do on his own.
Peshwah players can chose to spend 12 TU and
receive the certificate, vision quest.
Ikiru and Sulla consider the players their good
friends and let them know that before they leave.
When players get ready to head north to sell the
horses they have purchased, read the following.
Sulla shakes your hand as you prepare to leave.
“You have shown me that one does not have to
be Peshwah to have the heart of the eagle. You
are true friends and I know that our paths will
cross again.”
“Know that I will speak of you and what you
have done to any of the people who will listen.
You have earned my friendship and my trust.”
Sulla embraces you and smiles. “Ride in safety
my friends.”
Chapter Eight: Return to Boggy
Bottom
As players return to Boggy Bottom to fulfill their
obligation to Karnel Ordi, read the following box
text. If players choose not to provide Karnel
the horses he asked for and also do not refund
his 50 gp each, they earn his enmity as detailed
in the Mementoes section.
Boggy Bottom is as splendid as always. You
are surprised how welcome the place is, stench
and all, after such a long hard time on the road.
Karnel Ordi sits before you now, a mug of
mesok before him. The Soggy Bog is still the
Soggy Bog and the tavern honestly stinks less
than the rest of the town. It must be the drink
and the pumpkin candles burning away on every
available surface.
“Well,” he says, “You bring me horses I hope.”
Karnel buys no more than four horses from
players and buys from the top of the list first. He
only buys one heavy steppes charger or heavy
warhorse.
Once players have finished conducting this
trade, move to the Finale.
Finale:
So you have traveled among the Peshwah. You
have seen the Blood Wind and the rampage of
Afridhi raiders. Your time there has changed
you.
You have been to a place where the sea is
made of grass and the air seems a field with
blood. You have walked a land of mystery. No
doubt, it will call you back to it. You will wait for
the voice of the High Hak; No doubt it will come
in a crimson dream.

Karnel Ordi understands if players are unable to

return with horses for him, but he expects an
explanation of what happened and expects his
money back. Players who make a Diplomacy
check DC 20 can convince him to let them keep
the 50 GP each as payment for their services
prospecting for the mounts, but this is an
argument they must make effectively.

Karnel will pay the foaling for horses of different

qualities:

Heavy Steppes Charger: 800gp, he buys only

one.
Light Steppes Charger: 300 gp, he buy only
three.
Heavy warhorse of mixed Peshwah blood:
400gp. He buys only one. These horses must
have been bought from the Peshwah, but are
not steppes chargers.
Light warhorse of mixed Peshwah blood: 150
gp. He buys up to three. These horses must
have been bought from the Peshwah, but are
not steppes chargers.
All other horses, book value.
