Isla Monstruo, Preface

This is the record of my dungeon world knights of the braille isla monstruo campaign.


 

The cast:

Tanner is a halfling druid born of the great forests.  He travels the world with a fur hood, hide
armor, a necklace of bones from all the animal forms he has taken, and a
shillelagh in his hand.  His wise eyes
ever watch for new creatures to study and new domains to explore.  He is easily recognized by his druid’s sign,
a beaver tail that persists whichever form he takes.  He took ship with his friends after a drunken
bet with Warren to find and master the form of a mythical swamp creature.

 

Warren the gluttonous is a halfling barbarian from a tribe
of hunter gatherers.  His mighty thews
ripple as he wields his great sword while seeking mortal pleasures, riches, and
property.  He wears a scavenger’s outfit
and a necklace of animal teeth.  His wild
eyes see the world as a never-ending buffet ripe for consumption.  He took ship with his friends after a bet
with Tanner to find, kill, and eat the biggest monsters found in myth and
legend.

 

Yuri is a tall, awkwardly-shaped human wizard in search of
new experiences and ancient learning. 
His robes were once grand white garments trimmed with silver but have
suffered over his travels.  His amber
eyes observe the world from under a hat made from the preserved cap of a micanoid
he encountered on his first expedition with Warren.  Currently he is studying the social
structures of his two halfling companions. 


 

Introduction:

              Far from
land, an ancient island has been forgotten by gods and men.  It appears on no map or chart.  As our story begins, our protagonists’ ship
founders on the coral reef guarding the island’s shores.  They awake upon an idyllic sandy beach.  Towering primeval jungle looms over the
strand while eight-foot-tall shark fins patrol beyond the breakwater.

 

What will they do?
