El Seto de la Rosa Amarilla

Dungeon

This extension of the Garden Path is a pseudopod jutting into Consensual Reality. It is permeated with a glamour and can appear much larger than it is on the inside.

Corte de la rosa amarilla and its Señor de la Rosa Amarilla are of the desert and are interested in stories about change, water, secrets, and death. Accordingly El Seto is an apparent vast scrubland with animals going about their business, mostly ranching, mining, and hunting.

The Master of El Seto is Hume the Desert Owl.

His retainer is Marcelle the Timber Rattler.

Marcelle will not grant the party an audience wit He whose feathers shine like stars and beaks is sharper than the hungry scythe until they have titles. He suggests that perhaps they can earn titles from the denizens of El Seto.

Jack - A desert hare who needs help getting a clogged cattle drive moving. The animals are refusing to cross a muddy stream for fear of crocodiles in the water. Bestows the title "Tougher than a river dino's hide" or "Smart as the wind, bright as the sun"

Loretta - A Grasshopper Mouse who is trying to find a missing kit. The child has fallen into a canyon and busted his ankle. Rescuing him results in being given the title "Friend to Mothers" or "A true mouse among men."

Roustabout - A Chicken who wants to rob a Prairie Dog Mob's vault earning the party the titles "Raiders of Meerkat Manor" or Keepers of fowl confidence.

Hume will see the party once they each have a title and will attempt to barter for a token that "The Lady of broken clocks and screaming goats" might accept.

(Price Range: A favorite song, a beautiful memory, an adored sibling’s face, a favorite concert, an incredibly uplifting dream, a map section of the Garden Path, a piece of a True Name)

Hume's role is as teacher not swindler. Although in swindling he has a lesson to teach. Hume's token is a bone that when held to the ear has the sound of the moon sailing across the sky. After making the trade for the token he will tell the party that they're greatest asset is their status a free agents. Avoid contracts and entanglements. The wisest make friends based on reciprocal hospitality not allies based on deals. He will give them back their payment and if someone gives him a gift in return he will bestow that person with the title "Friend of the silent night"
