Young Man's Ettiquite Society and the Gold Eel Bridge

  The urchins of Troika city have it rough. Dead parents, crushing poverty, constant owl attacks. It’s truly a miserable experience. If by age 6 they are not able to find a job the many factories often times a life of crime is all that’s left. The Young Man’s Etiquette Society is a child gang headed by the infamous 16 year old Hayhead Mirra. Nearly every pick pocketing urchin in the city pledges allegiance to him and his gang. Currently they control the toll to cross the Gold Eel bridge connecting the neighborhood of Brumpton’s Hill and Eelbones. These three are the ones who enforce that 3 pence toll. Limney, 11 year old boy Overly confident and prone to dozing off. Whenever he talks to a bearded man he insists that he just shaved his recently in as deep of a voice as he can muster. Crandle, 12 year old girl The eldest of the group and the one that keeps the coin purse. She is missing part of her ear from a knife fight and makes sure to keep it covered with her hair. She loath...

Saint Inklethurt's and Brondy Underground Railroad

  Troika! Tuesday is here again. Here’s a small little monster. Hidden within the goblin labyrinth of Troika City are many abandoned underground projects. The first underground railroad in the city was that of the Saint Inklethurt’s and Brondy, a line that would connect the port of Brondy to the farther inland Shrine of Saint Inklethurt. Using extensive labor from the damned the tunnels were constructed, track was laid, and it was opened to the public. With the power of demon binding custom steam trains with minimal smoke were ran through the somewhat ventilated tunnel.  It ran without issue for 5 months before a small seal was broken and the hellfire engine unleashed its true power, acrid hellsmoke filled the tunnel and killed the hundreds of passengers inside. The company that created the rail line and bound the demons quickly went bankrupt and the tunnels were abandoned. All subsequent underground railroads in Troika have been powered by plasmic energy instead. When wand...

Troika Tuesday Devil in the Crypt

  It’s Troika! Tuesday. I ran Devil in the crypt for 3 people in a discord server I am in. We had Vashko the Demon Stalker Jimdon the Gremlin Catcher Ghonnorea the Hogoblin The three of them had heard tell, an ancient tomb of the ascendant of the phoenix throne floating near a traderoute upon the humpbacked sky had had strange occurrences happen, golden barges had been disappearing if they traveled too close. Rumors of devilry caught the attention of Vashko, so he rented a golde barge, and the help of two mercenaries. Or tried to get two mercenaries, he got one and an exterminator. As their barge sailed they scouted three details, a cave waterfall about 30 meters down the side of the floating island, arid shrubland coating most of the island, and a mesa that creates a crescent shaped valley in the middle. After trekking to the valley they gave upon a verdant vale, the road continues onwards for a while curving around palm trees and wind fluttering grass towards the back of the...
