The entrance looks like a cave until it starts asking who sent you.
New Goblin City, Runner Landing, Finkus Farms, Root Barrel Farm, Hazy Pastures, Dimoggio Territory
Arthur is a surviving M.A.I. experiment, Vorpal founder, and portal-route ally now headed to VQU with Elmyra for Baron-backed support.
characterBowflex was the beloved magically enhanced tyrannosaurus mascot of Von Queef University and former companion of groundskeeper Al Dyrio. More than a campus symbol, he served as a living defender during the Drakkuskan War, holding the line against a Dragonborn assault long enough for students and faculty to evacuate.
characterBarney Rootbarrel, known as Brawny, is a halfling agricultural alchemist and co-founder of Medusa’s Farm near the Glow Pools. Once a beet farmer outside the Queefdom, Barney helped turn abandoned land into a working commune through patience, labor, and quiet strength.
characterBrother Fidelphi Castro is Hugo's betrayal target and a Castro-face identity clue whose New Goblin City death/curse leaves his true role unresolved.
characterValara Cirio, known as C.C. or The Blade, is the Gravenhurst Thieves Guild leader whose senses expose impostors, Castro body mismatch, and Krane-touched mutation.
characterAleron Bonapate, known as Caesar, is a Castro-aligned voidling invader who rides Bowflex into Gravenhurst and pressures the southern gate route.
characterJonah Subramountian, known as Cardinal, believes every disaster is a miracle that arrived before anyone was ready. Raised in a secluded temple of the Creator, the mountain dwarf cleric learned faith, craft, and relentless cheer before a divine mishap carried him to Von Queef University. Now with My Alchemical Romance, Jonah heals wounds, lifts spirits, and meets despair with illegible pamphlets and unwavering conviction. His earthspeaking power steadies the ground beneath his friends, while his joy reminds them why they keep standing.
characterOrval Finkus is the performative Colonel of Root Barrel Farm, a suspect protector of Castro-displaced dragonborn workers and a contact in Havyk's demon-debt thread.
characterGreta Wunsch, known as Crone, keeps Von Queef University functioning by doing what most mages fear most: reading the rules and enforcing them. A senior administrator from Le Queef, she oversees compliance, discipline, records, and the fragile bureaucracy holding VQU together after collapse, reopening, and reform.
characterDallas Dalton, known as Dally, was raised in a close-knit community where loyalty meant survival and family meant everything. When her mother, K’Zhara Flamehand, was taken by powerful men, Dallas carried the loss like a live coal. Now a fire djinni barbarian with the Pink Pony Girls and Kickassery Inc.
characterK'Zhara Flamehand is Dallas Dalton's fire djinni mother, an embersmith rescued from Gertie's Forge after digging an escape route and piloting Arthur's ship back to Jericha.
characterNick Kremp, the Firestarter, was an infernal wizard and adventurer of My Alchemical Romance whose lawful heart burned as brightly as his flamespeaking. Raised without privilege, Nick became the group’s public voice, hype man, and emotional warmth, using charm, optimism, and fire magic to lift others even when the world turned dangerous. His relationship with Iwlvflybadofsjhhu Jr. and bond with Princess Beatrix, his beloved polar bear companion, grounded him beyond spectacle. Nick believed in doing good, following the law where he could, and keeping the spark alive for his friends; his death in 2100 MB left My Alchemical Romance without one of its brightest lights.
characterDiarmaid, called Flynn by Dallas Dalton, is a massive long-haired Highland cow with the calm patience of a pasture and the impact force of a runaway wagon. Raised alongside Dallas and gifted to her as a calf, Flynn has followed her from home to the Pink Pony Girls as companion, guardian, and family.
characterAsh Stonefist was raised in seclusion by the Temple of the Equinox Vale, where discipline, balance, and physical mastery shaped every part of his life. His training made him focused and precise, but left him unfamiliar with much of the wider world. When void-born tentacles emerged from his body, Ash treated the change as part of his spiritual path. His power now tests the teachings that formed him, forcing him to balance serenity with mutation and control with uncertainty. As a member of My Alchemical Romance, Ash brings loyalty, speed, and strange wisdom to the group. His journey centers on mastering the tension between discipline and the void within him.
characterEveline Pringle, known as Glintfang, was raised to embody the polished future of Point Pringle’s most famous family, but her life has always strained against the image built for her. At Von Queef University she presents as a refined noble student, while privately carrying the wild magic and lycanthropy her family worked to conceal. Glamour charms and a silver locket help hide the wolf beneath the heir, but emotion and moonlight make secrecy fragile. Now married to Faephine Moonhold Pringle, Eveline stands between legacy and self-rule, determined that her curse will not be owned by anyone but her.
characterMeeg, known as the Goblin Queen, carries a title that sounds like a joke until the swarm answers. Listed as both goblin and human, she occupies a strange place between identity, nobility, and instinctive command.
characterGrease is a goblin ranger who’s lived alone in the cursed Whisperwoods since childhood, surviving on instinct, traps, and a total disregard for anything above four feet, including signs. A friendly menace, she’s a deadeye with a bow and a ghost-mushroom sommelier with serious opinions about bird espionage.
characterGrimclaw — Darius is a Catfolk fighter of My Alchemical Romance whose supernatural senses, blunt courage, and mercenary instincts make him a protector shaped by survival rather than polish. His relevance comes from the tension between strength and slaughter, especially through Shadow Darius’s temptation, Githyanki/Castro trauma, his Gertie banquet return, and the unresolved question of whether he can keep choosing loyalty over the violent path his shadow self offers.
characterHavyk is a half-orc, half-elf rogue from the Free Coast, raised under Orlac’s brutal doctrine and determined to become something sharper than the Violince that made her. She fled her tribe, survived alone, and found peace with Devaireaux, a gentle noble whose love gave her a life beyond bloodshed before his death tore it apart. Now fighting with Kickassery Inc. and the Pink Pony Girls, Havyk protects queer lives, breaks abusive power, and turns grief into purpose. With psychic blades, magnetic control, Chaos the raven, and a broken pocket watch ticking like a heartbeat, she does not seek permission to be kind or dangerous.
characterHollow / Alfred Rallus, formerly Kuzon, is a transformed Black Ward void manipulator tied to Kaya, Salvatore, Castro targeting, and Arthur's void-healing plan.
characterBaron von Queef is VQU's revived dhampir institutional figure and the support target Arthur and Elmyra are seeking for the next Act 5 operation.
characterLamia — Morgan Draxtler is a My Alchemical Romance necromancer whose family name also appears as Draxler and Draxter because even Morgan is canonically uncertain about it.
characterElara Windwhisper, known as Lyrical Truth, is a blind elven philosopher-minstrel whose songs carry meanings most listeners only feel at first.
characterHugo Drider, known as Madcap, is an infernal Castro hunter and trapper who works from concealment rather than formal party membership. In Act 5 Gravenhurst, Jonah Subramountian disrupted Hugo’s Castro trap while chasing a Nick-like figure; Hugo then shadowed My Alchemical Romance from trees and windows because they remained his best active lead to Castro. Hugo entered the necromancer chapel fight late and quietly kept necromancy loot, including the Gloves of Rotting Flesh.
characterMagistrate Verik Thorne is Gravenhurst's Lawful courtroom controller, central to Maine's trial, Krane's testimony pressure, and the legal machinery around Castro-era panic.
characterMortellus Vayne, known as Mortis, was a Velvet Cross arch-necromancer who treated death not as tragedy, but as a system waiting to be mastered. His gravespeaking shaped resurrection theory, soul-binding vessels, grief constructs, and the infamous Scroll of Mass Resurrection, earning him awe in fringe circles and fear from regulated arcanists. Yet his deepest failure was personal: when Aria’s mother left by choice, no spell could undo it. Mortis turned legacy into obsession, even bargaining with Gertie the Collector for forbidden knowledge at the cost of Aria’s future child. Now presumed dead, his relics, writings, and possibly his soul remain dangerously unaccounted for.
characterMarnie Rootbarrel, known as Mycelia, is a halfling spore druid and guardian of the Glow Pools, where broken bodies, strange fungi, and arcane corruption all find their way into the soil.
characterElmyra Manticore, known as Prism, is an infernal Witchborn sorcerer from Dreadport whose magic first kept her alive as street performance before earning her a place among VQU’s First Five. Flashy, unpredictable, and Chaotic Good, she turns raw instability into color, motion, and sudden elemental transformation.
characterElara Brasschain, known as Professor, is a human artificer and academic whose name carries the weight of tools, theory, and family craft. Though the records preserve only the outline of her life, that outline suggests a builder-scholar shaped by precision: someone who treats invention as both discipline and responsibility. As a professor, Elara likely stands between workshop and classroom, translating dangerous mechanisms into lessons before they become disasters. The Brasschain name hints at metalwork, constraint, and connected parts, all fitting for a mind that sees systems where others see scraps. In Jericha, even a quiet professor can be the hinge on which larger machines turn.
characterGaz Geargoggle, known as Professor, is a gnome artificer whose name sounds less like a title and more like a warning label attached to unfinished machinery. The records give only a narrow view of him, but what remains is clear: Gaz belongs to the Geargoggle line, works as a professor-artificer, and carries the kind of obsessive curiosity that makes classrooms safer than workshops only in theory. His infatuation with Astrid Ironhoof suggests a softer, more awkward heart beneath the gears, goggles, and lecture notes. In Jericha, Gaz is the sort of academic who can explain a mechanism perfectly while forgetting whether it is still armed.
characterProfessor Lyra Allorin was once a celebrated alchemist of Von Queef University, known for transmutation research and a sincere belief that alchemy could improve lives. Her work ended in catastrophe when a shimmering reagent experiment destroyed her Gravenhurst lab and killed her, leaving her spirit bound to the Shimmering Bridge. Now a ghostly high elf presence of flickering lights, melodic hums, and drifting alchemical sigils, Lyra offers warnings to seekers who respect dangerous knowledge. Her guilt keeps her from peace, but so does purpose: somewhere in her lost formula may be the secret to stabilizing power that can rewrite reality.
characterProfessor Whitcombe is an elderly retired Witchborn bard and market energy analyst working in the Djeebus Research Archive’s Market Archive Wing. With floating spectacles, half-spectral hair, and a rune-stitched cloak that misbehaves when observed, he studies commerce as if it were weather, music, and prophecy at once. Whitcombe tracks civic trade, crowd mood, faction spending, and economic hesitation as arcane currents, arguing that markets may behave with something close to collective instinct. True Neutral and obscure by choice, he does not predict collapse through visions. He listens for it in the price of bread, steel, favors, and fear.
characterHelga Wingkin is a red dragonborn prisoner from Vithyrex's Maze who allies with Jonah, Vala, and Valbrandt before the Wingkin rescue thread is interrupted.
characterZetch, known as Rubber, is a VQU New Student with elastic/bouncing physicality and a reckless appetite for action. In Act 5 near Root Barrel Farm, Zetch argued with Ellenthyra Mew and Nell Quiv over cave loot, bounced off Vic Vaurr, and became excited by Vic’s murderball-style throws.
characterMerris Tumbletwig is a Meadowkin-linked gnome wandcrafter, artificer, and traveling merchant contact in the Rootbarrel/Hazy Pastures support network.
characterRill Waters is a captured Thieves Guild smuggler and water-route contact whose face was used by Castro impostors in the Ash lure.
characterPip Thistlebloom, known as Vapor Bloom, is a blind gnome alchemist of the Meadowkin Commune whose work at Rootbarrel Farm blends herbal craft, spiritual mysticism, and Glow Pool strangeness.
characterAria Vayne, known as Veilstep and once called the Blue-Haired Girl, is the human daughter of the late necromancer Mortellus Vayne. Raised in the shadow of necromantic nobility, she fled after learning her father’s pact with Gertie the Collector had placed her future in danger. Now hidden beneath the Pink Pony Tavern, Aria survives through caution, quiet resolve, and a phasing power that lets her slip through shadow when threatened. She does not want revenge or power; she wants time enough to be free.
characterBracken Rootfoot, known as Verdant Echo, is a blind hexelf elder and shepherd-druid of the Meadowkin Commune, tending cycles of loss, regrowth, spectral flora, and rural prophecy near Hazy Pastures.
characterSimon Baker, better known by the hexname Victor Shaw, is a human maskweaver from Rifleton whose life has been defined by deception, disguise, and the refusal to let the powerful go unpunished. After turning against the nobleman who exploited his mother, Simon fled into the Fey Realm and learned to survive through false faces, poison, humor, and misdirection. As a member of My Alchemical Romance, partner to Exaba, and companion to the dragon Walter, he hides vulnerability behind jokes and insists he would never lie even when deception is his sharpest tool. Simon looks out for himself first, but his hatred of exploitation keeps pulling him toward peasants, street kids, and anyone crushed under wealth or power.
characterEllenthyra Mew, known as Vigor, is a catfolk VQU New Student from the Temple of the Equinox Vale. In Act 5 near Root Barrel Farm, she appeared with Zetch and Nell Quiv after the trio looted a cave and argued over a legendary wand; she recognized Ash Stonefist from the monastery and discussed leaving the Temple while following Albert Rallus’s path from monkhood toward greater power.
characterLady Marnette Duskshade, known as Widow, is a Lawful Evil human noble, potion master, and Abyss power broker from Driftmark exile nobility. Born into an alchemical empire built on patents, assassination, and inheritance, she refined her family legacy into a weapon of high society. Her Witchborn sanguinomancy lets her transmute her own blood into venom, antidote, binding resin, or crystalline tools, each use weakening the body that ambition refuses to spare. Composed, generous when useful, and socially indispensable, Marnette controls outcomes through salons, contracts, and perception. Even at the Masquerade, scandal bent around her rather than breaking her.
characterCalithea was born to a noble house below the world and cursed into the form of a medusa before she could choose what that meant. Where her twin sister Xalaethra embraced monstrosity, Calithea fled toward mercy. Blindfolded to spare others from her gaze, she hid beneath the farm that would become Rootbarrel Brewery and devoted herself to healing, peace, and the study of petrification’s cure. Gentle by choice rather than weakness, Calithea proves that a curse does not get to decide the shape of a soul.
characterXalaethra is a Neutral Evil medusa sorcerer and exiled noble slaver from the Underdark, twin sister to Calithea and everything Calithea refused to become.
characterVic Vaurr is a minotaur sanguinomancer and former Murderball player for the Stormcall StormCrows. In Act 5, he entered the active party space inside Vithyrex’s Maze while trapped in the labyrinth and searching for his missing dog.
characterHerman Winger was a birdfolk dungeon guide for Aleklot’s Rest’s paid tourist dungeon economy. Professional and waiver-minded, he was accustomed to controlled dungeon packages, not the hidden master path beneath the town.
characterJixie is a goblin collector working for the Dimoggio Clan in New Goblin City. Fast-talking, exhausted, and survival-focused, he became a reluctant guide for My Alchemical Romance after the party intervened in a collector dispute over a chained four-lock box.
characterDr. Gristlewick Poplimb is a goblin doctor and body-parts vendor in the New Goblin City Black Market. He sells weaponized limbs and strange body-part devices to customers willing to pay in gold, useful body parts, or leads.

characterAn unnamed high-fashion elf mother who appeared in the Velvet Cross crowd with her 20-year-old son.
itemControlled dose for 1 hour: +2 to Strength, Dexterity, and Charisma checks and saves; -2 to Constitution, Intelligence, and Wisdom checks and saves. When the effect ends, make a DC 13 Constitution save or gain exhaustion; the DC increases by 2 for each failed Boost comedown save within 24 hours. A green shimmer gives disadvantage on Deception checks to appear sober within 10 feet. Uncontrolled Boost vapor, gas pits, mushrooms, or contaminated atmospheres can poison rather than empower, applying the downsides without the benefits.
itemThe box has four magical locks. Each lock can be opened with one successful DC 16 Dexterity check using thieves' tools or DC 16 Intelligence (Arcana) check. Each attempt takes 1 minute. On a failed check by 5 or more, the box emits a Dimoggio debt-sigil visible to lawful collectors and bonded goblin couriers for 24 hours. Opening one lock weakens the box but does not reveal the contents; all four locks must be opened within the same hour or the box relocks at dawn. A creature carrying the box has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks against creatures actively hunting Dimoggio property.
itemCan cast Fireball at 3rd level as a bonus action from your hand, save DC 14, once per long rest. If you know Fireball, you may cast through the glove using spell slots as a bonus action. After casting, take 1d6 fire backlash.
itemPossible duplicate of Colonel's Volley Glove. Cast Fireball at 3rd level as a bonus action, save DC 14, once per long rest; after casting, take 1d6 fire damage backlash.
itemElmyra gave Jixie a healing potion after he collapsed near the bottom of the descent.
itemA carved cardinal given by Jonah to Valbrandt Wingkin inside Vithyrex's Maze. It is currently a story token rather than a mechanical magic item.
itemA pair of ignition crystals given by PP5 after the temple raid, used to power or restart the Pringle auto-wagon route out of Point Pringle.
itemAsh used the crown to speak with Heathcliff, a giant rat who warned of deaths along the legendary path and helped reveal a hidden route. Full item mechanics still need source confirmation.
itemA historical artifact and in-world source rather than a combat item. Reading or citing the journal can provide context on Drakkuskan War-era travel, early student adventuring, cult activity, dragonborn involvement, relic rumors, old routes, and people who later became Centrum figures. Exact dates should be treated as provisional when newer canon disagrees.
itemCondensed Void energy equal to 100 Void Dust. Spend diamonds equal to power tier to unlock Void-aligned abilities; consume for long-rest benefits and +1 resonance; used as catalyst for Void enchanting/upgrades requiring matching tier count and crafting skill in a Void-aligned ritual space/forge/evolution chamber.
locationRoot Barrel Farm is a rural Queefdom worksite where old commune history, dragonborn displacement, Orval Finkus's hospitality, and the impossible Nick question have all taken root in the same soil.
locationDimoggio Territory is the New Goblin City district shaped by Mo Dimoggio's clan network, where collectors, family pressure, safe-passage bargains, and undercity politics all know each other's names.
locationFinkus Farms is a rural Queefdom anchor near Root Barrel and the New Goblin City surface approach, where farm gossip, Meadowkin-adjacent rural memory, labor politics, and undercity access begin to share the same road.
locationHazy Pastures is the rural Queefdom trouble-ground where the Pink Pony investigation moved through Tarria, Redcaps, Xalaethra's abandoned camp, Meadowkin-adjacent memories, commune fallout, and the first shape of the Root Barrel problem.
locationNew Goblin City is the smoking undercity beneath Queefdom-side trouble, where toll law, black markets, Moe Dimoggio collectors, Emrites, Wingkin leads, and Boost-spider danger all braid into one descent.
locationRunner Landing is New Goblin City's first controlled threshold: a vast cavern of smoke pipes, fungus light, hanging platforms, rope, bone, signs, toll booths, green vapor, and questions Jixie would rather not answer.
