Thunderlungs
Thunderlungs is an orc bard whose name seems less like a title than a public safety warning. Alive and only lightly documented, they have already earned enough reputation for the records to preserve the important part: a voice that can fill a tavern, battlefield, dockyard, or riot line without asking permission. Whether performer, herald, heckler, or morale engine, Thunderlungs carries music like blunt force—loud, emotional, and impossible to ignore. In Jericha, where polished singers charm courts and quiet spies move empires, Thunderlungs proves there is still power in volume, breath, rhythm, and refusing to be drowned out.

storyThis session moves the party from the paid three-star tour into the hidden master path through rat guidance and Maine’s memory alteration. The route reveals older loot, a teleporting rat named Heathcliff, Jeremiah Shadowplay’s Aboleth/void connection, dragon-grafted humanoids, and a living young black dragon.
