The Slugman Manuscript

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 ...

  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...
