The Slugman Manuscript

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 ...

  02/05/2021 Hu-A's (Slugman magician) writing: Writing by Chase Arsenault. I was sitting in the home of Arong 1, the high Naga 2, along with my group (Terry the Terrible, Sheesha) 3 4, and a stranger I had gone on a quest with named Ragnar. I was explaining the situation of Ragu-Lo to Arong, when a new stranger arrived: a holy man named Krishna. Krishna was very strange—dressed oddly, speaking an almost unintelligible language, and saying things about being from another “plane.” But I digress. With this new stranger having arrived, I reintroduced the situation, and seemed to have everyone on board for helping. Arong offered assistance, but at a price of course. I had very little money on hand then, but once I regained control of the Yellow City junk, I would have access to plenty with which to pay. The plan was laid thus: Krishna and Arong board the junk, convince Ragu-Lo to step off board and into a local tavern in Fairmead, where he would be assaulted by the warrior Ragnar....

 Hello, To whoever is reading this blog, this is the first post.  This blog is going to be a session recap blog for my Yoon-Suin tabletop game.   It is my personal version of the setting, trying to be based in the actual myth, legends, and history of the various areas of Asia Yoon-Suin is influenced by.  The general conceit of this blog is that it is a record of Yoon-Suin discovered in our own world, our own time.  The sections are being written by the characters in the tabletop game, however the characters are probably not typically concerned with giving accurate, exactly-what-happened accounts. They might forget or remember things wrong, exaggerate, make-up things whole-cloth, find inconsistencies entertaining, or could be entirely on drugs or magic-tea either at the time they are writing about or when they are supposedly writing, so everything herein may not be absolute truth.   I have no idea what the Chinese writing in the photo says. It coul...
