The Slugman Manuscript

  05/14/2021 Hu A's recap: With the creature now split into weaker versions of our deepest fears, the battle truly began. Many of our crew were injured from the fire and the collapsing parts of the building, but we managed to defeat the liquid creature without much trouble. Only Ragnar took serious damage, but it will be treatable. But, of course, with the creature beaten, Rangda returned to collect her due—she was not going to help us for free after all. It seems our next step after defeating Ragu Lo will be to travel to a spot on Erehwon called the Temple of the Goddess of Time to kill the shapeshifter. I have a sneaking suspicion this means we are to murder our companion Arong. While not ideal, even worse would be to be on Rangda’s bad side, so Arong must fall. As the dust finally fell on our most recent triumph, we were approached by the town leaders from the Dwarven Mercenaries HQ who are taking us somewhere so we can regroup and heal up before we go after the usurper Ragu Lo....

  04/30/2021 Hu A's recap: Coming from the moon was a strange liquid that did not move like a liquid should. The liquid took me over and I lost consciousness. I’m not sure what happened, but when I woke up, I was reading a haiku which was written on the wall to everyone else. Anyway, several tendrils of this liquid were coming in through the wall, so I used my summon spell and created a great golden beast to fight the tendrils away. This worked for a while, but I had an inkling for what I had to do… and it was not comfortable. I took the Rangda mask out and it latched itself onto Sheesha. Rangda told us we could defeat the liquid by imagining our worst fears and weakening the creature. Krishna, in all his wisdom, decided to challenge Ranga and ended up transforming the liquid creature into Barong. Despite this brilliant move which was nearly our end, we all managed to separate the creature into our respective deepest fears. With this we should be able to finally defeat the creature...

03/19/2021 We left from Arong’s place to head into Fairmead, but not before Ragnar made friends with a crab man—one of the strangest things I have observed since leaving the Yellow City. We stopped at the Sea God’s Temple to give Terry some space to prepare his holy water. We met the priestess there and hired her to be our new translator. After that, we went to the Dwarven Mercenaries HQ to speak with the local leaders about the threat of Ragu Lo. They not only offered us assistance, but also modified our plan to help it run more smoothly. We hired a luxury sailboat that will take us out to the junk, and from there we shall put our plan into effect. We went from the HQ to the hotel for the night. I noticed a fluttering piece of paper, which I picked up. The note was signed by Ragu-Lo... and it seemed that he knows about our plan. It was then that I noticed the moon seemed… off. It was fuller than it should’ve been that night. It seemed like it was… dripping.

This is reference list of things I use when constructing and fleshing out my Yoon-Suin.   It is a broad list of history books, pulp fiction, folk-tales, picture books, and stuff that would be classed as Orientalist in nature. It is my expanded appendix N for Yoon-Suin for stuff that is not already in Yoon-Suin's appendix N. You can use it or not.  It is merely my springboard and I cannot put everything on it because my Yoon-Suin has been created within years of causal research on Asian folk-lore and religion.  Also, I do not endorse all the messages in these works, as written before, some of these works can be classified as Orientalist and though I am inspired by them, that does not mean I want to follow their example and I try to not have a racist, caricatured version of a made-up world loosely inspired by real world things. I am not trying to mystify or create an air of mystery around the real, actual places of Asia. In no particular order: Books: Hindu Folktales P...

Ragnar: After finding a place to make gold. I encountered a group of unknown individuals whom were scouting a forest, I had been tasked to find a pig in. Upon our immediate interaction. We were attacked by large worm creatures. Slug-man had summoned a thunderbeast whom didn't take to him nor anyone else and became a hinderance in battle. I'm not sure what the purpose of his magics are if they cannot help us in battle. Another in the group had gotten in the way of my slicing down a worm only to get cut himself in the process. I cannot be bothered by those whom aren't capable of watching themselves in battle although we made due and the beasts were slain. After such, we discovered the pig lay dead, my job to recover it was over and all I could do was lead the group back to the pig owner. To seek shelter from the oncoming rainstorm. We made it there and met someone else, whom dressed funny. He seemed to be from a foreign land and spoke a funny language. All of them spoke a f...

 Hu-A: Slugman Magician, radical Taoist Anarchist  Ragnar: Yaksha-crossbreed 1 Warrior,  born and raised in Jötunheimr 2. Krishna: Insane Yellow-City Human Holy-man 3. Footnotes from The Translator (Aka, referee's thinly disguised author insert character): 1. Yaksha-crossbreed: gleaning from the manuscript, a Yasksha-crossbreed seems to be the offspring of a union between a Yaksha and a creature of some other kind. 2. Jötunheimr: a land towards the east from Yoon-Suin. Simply named Easteros by the inhabitants of Yoon-Suin. It is described as the frozen east, populated by uncivilized white-skinned subhumans. There are other brief, dismissing descriptions by writers from Yoon-Suin. (Referee's note: the joke is the European, Norse mythology inspired land is actually to the east of the Asian inspired land.) 3. The manuscript mentions Krishna spouting innate babbling and mad ravings of coming from a city supposedly called 'Singapore'. Could Krishna be from the earth from ...
