Stuffed Trout

Serves 4

4 10-12 ounce whole trout, gutted, 2 Teaspoons Old Bay seasoning, Freshly ground black pepper, 2 Large slices multigrain sandwich bread, crusts trimmed, torn into small pieces, 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, Kosher salt, 1/4 Cup minced shallot, 3/4 Cup finely chopped red bell pepper, 2 Teaspoons pressed or grated garlic, 2 Teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving, 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

With a rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 450. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat and set aside.

Rinse each trout under cold running water and, using a paper towel, dry very well, inside and out. Sprinkle the cavity of each trout evenly with 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

In a food processor, pulse the bread into crumbs the size of grains of rice, 5 2-second pulses.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until deeply browned and crisp, 6 minutes. Scrape the toasted breadcrumbs into a medium bowl and set aside.

Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let warm until melted. Add the shallot, bell pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables start to soften, 2 minutes. Adjust the heat to low, cover, and cook until the vegetables appear moist, 1 1/2 minutes. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 40 seconds. Scrape the mixture into the bowl with the toasted breadcrumbs, add the lemon juice and parsley, and stir to combine into a stuffing. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Place the trout on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the stuffing into the cavity of each trout, pressing it in with your fingers. Arrange the fish so there is about 1 inch between them.

Bake the trout until they feel firm when pressed gently with your finger, and the thickest part of the fish registers 140 on an instant read thermometer, 12 minutes. Let the trout rest for 5 minutes. Using a fish spatula or another long spatula, carefully transfer the trout to a serving platter and serve with lemon wedges.

Note: Eating a whole trout is less intimidating than you may think. Peel back the skin to expose the flesh on one side. Starting at the equator of the exposed side of the fish, use a dinner knife to slide the flesh downward off the fish's skeleton. Repeat to slide off the flesh above the equator. Flip the fish and repeat to release the flesh on the second side.

Juryrigg

This one was fairly recent. Sadly the game got cancelled the day before as the DM was experiencing some personal complications. It was for the new Dragonlance Campaign.

Concept: Tabaxi - Artificer/Cleric (Forge)/Wizard - Juryrigg - Smuggler/Shipwright/Sage

Used: Juryrigg - Tabaxi - Cleric (Forge Domain) - Knight of Solamnia

Backstory Used (First Try, Closed due to DM Personal Complications): Juryrigg was born into a simple life in the countryside, son and apprentice to the local blacksmith, promised to a life of modest means and obscurity. At least...until the horde attacked. He never actually learned who they were, be they bandit, or some armed scourge. One of the few in the village with any martial prowess, he was given the opportunity for courage and sacrifice, to protect others at the possible cost of his own life. He didn't take it. Tail tucked between his legs, breeches stained yellow, he fled as fast as his legs would carry him...and straight into the chest of a well groomed stallion. Though late, knights of Solamnia had come to their aid. With a great deal of persistence and pleading, he swore himself in penance to service of the very knight who had come to their rescue, eventually reaching the fabled rank of Knight himself. Nevertheless he remained one unsuited for the battlefield, instead travelling to villages that had been attacked, providing aid in the rebuilding, and warding off any cutthroats who may view an already damaged village as easy pickings.

Backstory Used (Second Attempt): (Ispin Greenshield part of level 1 story hook.) Juryrigg was born into a simple life in the countryside, son and apprentice to the local blacksmith, promised to a life of modest means and obscurity. At least...until the horde attacked. He never actually learned who they were, be they bandit, or some armed scourge. One of the few in the village with any martial prowess, he was given the opportunity for courage and sacrifice, to protect others at the possible cost of his own life. He didn't take it. Tail tucked between his legs, breeches stained yellow, he fled as fast as his legs would carry him...and straight into the chest of a well groomed stallion. Though late, adventurers (Ispin Greenshield among them) had arrived to render aid. With a great deal of persistence and pleading, he begged Ispin Greenshield to take him on as an apprentice. Rather than rejecting outright however, Ispin directed him to a knight of Solomnia whom Jurryrig went on to squire under, in hopes of one day reaching the rank of Knight himself. Nevertheless he remained one unsuited for the battlefield, instead travelling to villages that had been attacked, providing aid in the rebuilding, and warding off any cutthroats who may view an already damaged village as easy pickings.

Misc:

Father used to say prayers while forging to time things out. Stamped every blade with the mark of their god. "This Hammer can forge not only weapons, it can forge a man!"

Tabaxi so cat habits.

Deity Info:

Reorx (The Life-Giver, Forger of the World, The World Smith) Symbol: Forging Hammer

Reorx is the god of Creation, Inspiration, and artisanship. Believed to have made the world of Krynn itself under the instruction of another deity.

Loves gambling.

Prayer Ideas:

"Life-Giver guide my hands, let me create new opportunities by giving in your stead!"

Appearance: 6′4, 250 lbs. Yellow-Green eyes, has a dark smokey coat of fur. Resembles a Norwegian Forest Cat. Severe case of resting bitch face despite his personality. Two small earrings in his left ear. Wears a very dark teal gambeson and a bright teal (sometimes yellow) scarf over that, both scarves have the symbol of Reorx on them. Wears chainmail over the Gambeson, plate depending on the game (first attempt let me start with plate). His gloves are old style blacksmith gloves with iron plates attached to the back. There’s a light metal hoop around his tail with an engraving.

403. Tracy and Laura Hickman - DL8: Dragons of War (1985)

Focused around the last part of the story retold in Dragons of Winter Night, the battle at High Clerist Tower, this 8th Dragonlance module makes heavy use of the new Battlesystem wargaming rules to bring to life epic battles.

This module is also, due to its setting, really heavy on the whole Knights of Solamnia lore, including a section before the adventure with two pages about the workings and structure of the order which will be of great use for any DM trying to bring the Solamnic fortress to life.

Most spectacular of all is the fantastic map for the tower that is included here, not only do we get a hex map for use with Battlesystem we also get an astounding map with the cross sections of all the floors of the tower in what is a work of art in itself. Fantastic module.

So I created a DND character who was initially conceived as an answer to the “sexy nubile elf babe” trope by making her an eccentric hermit who lives in permanent goblin mode, likes to infodump about bugs and mushrooms and isn’t above tasting random leaves from trees.

She’s also a Moon Druid who likes turning into a bear. Hell, she’s basically this meme:

Guys, Darrett Highwater, our primary quest-giving NPC, has a thing for her. Homeboy is a Knight of Solamnia — who are a group of Fancy Fuckers with Decorum™️. Sage Brightmeadow is just so weird that she circled back around and became charismatic and magnetic.

nenilance...

we continued up the tower, and here i learned about the occasional need for serious corralling (imo) bc the party wanted to leave and head back into the city to rest... guys? i believe this is time sensitive

arriving at the council chamber, we found a scene of terrible slaughter. the mayor was dead beside a knightly, and very sneery and suspicious man. i recognized him as a servant of soth. kendernime got the final blow on his non-ghost form after encouraging a fellow player to aid me. if u kno, u kno the enemy can command people and posses bodies, but he failed in these abilities, we finally defeated him

and so we proceeded down to the catacombs, where we saw flamey visions of soth (with the comment, who doesnt love elf chicks?) down here we found some weapons and a smith god medallion in a reliquary... our minotaur (an artificer) friend picked the reliquary and ... met the smith god

the other neutral gods joined in on the groupcall. thats right, in a stunning curveball the dm had us meet the good and neutral gods (along with the main good dragon god) impressive. of course, a couple of our chatacters got a dressing down for the few times they tried to act like murderhobos, so we'll see if they keep it up. one of the other elf players, who likes to take grizzly trophies and cover himself in blood (lawful good in his sheet) pledged himself to the good gods. see what i mean?

The good dragon god, Paladine, then told us in all his glory, that we were the B-team but we had a pretty important part to play. i asked if i could borrow one of his gold dragon servants, he said no, :( but the dragon felt sorry and let me ride him once.

i thought to give up my tough feat in exchange for a 'gift of metallic dragons' but turns out with my knight of solamnia & and beads charged with healing spells i already have better abilities than that

Tarsis-Style Shrimp

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients: 4 Cups water, 4 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus 2 teaspoons finely grated zest, and spent halves of the lemon reserved, 1/4 Cups chopped fresh dill, stems reserved. Kosher salt, 2 Teaspoons whole black peppercorns, 2 Pounds extra-long shrimp, shelled and deveined, 1/3 Cup mayonnaise, 1/4 Cup plain whole-milk greek yogurt, 6 Scallions, white and green parts thinly sliced and kept separate, Freshly ground black pepper, 1 Large celery rib, trimmed and finely diced

In a large saucepan, combine the water, 3 tablespoons of the lemon juice, the spent lemon halves, dill stems, 1 teaspoon salt, the peppercorns, and shrimp. Set the pan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, barely firm, and just cooked through, and the liquid temperature reaches 170 on an instant read thermometer, 10 minutes.

While the shrimp poach, set a colander in the sink, and fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Drain the poached shrimp in the colander, then, working quickly, transfer them to the ice water, leaving behind the lemon halves, dill stems, and peppercorns. Empty the colander, discarding its contents, and drain the shrimp again. Blot them dry with paper towels, and halve them lengthwise.

In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, scallion whites, chopped dill, lemon zest, remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and whisk to incorporate. Add the shrimp and celery and fold to coat with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate so the flavors meld, 2 hours.

Add most of the scallion greens to the shrimp and fold to combine. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Sprinkle with the remaining scallion greens before serving.

Ship Dandies

Meet the Party

Captain Konguq

A Battle Wizard, she came up from the south to learn more about being a wizard to help her tribe guided by her penguin companion Agratok. She grew up a merchant and is a shrewd negotiator. She killed the Pirate Captain Oleander Bloodblade and gained the Blade of the Aurora, making her Captain of the Dandy Rose. During the Test of High Sorcery she traded her memories of her lover and first mate Morris to never forget her spells. While in Vikaze she raised her zombie Zim, who consumed part of a plague spirit's essence. As a result, Zim has started to gain sentience.

Quartermaster Achaius "Ace" Ravenwing

A Courtier Rouge, he fled Solamnia after his master was killed in a heist gone wrong. He is a deft smooth talker with a tumultuous relationship with religion. He became Quartermaster because of his way with people, aided by his loyal puppy Callum. While he does rely on his cane, it contains a sword inside. Recently he's been answering the call of the goddess Mishakal, but isn't sure if his willingness to commit to her yet

Nightwatch and Battle Master Calix es-Galdar

A marshal and former member of the Dragon armies navy, he defected and became an exile when he was passed up for promotion. A stotic and honorable minotaur, he has traveled with his gully dwarf companion Hug to find new purpose and seek revenge.

Navigation Oliver Wavewalker

A smooth talking red robe wizard, his magic works differently than that of Konguq relying on his words rather than intelligence. A bardic vagabond and son of Ivelos and Andrea, he joined the Dandies looking for a story to tell. And possibly a way to wipe most of his debts

Helmsman Vorlo

A Hobgoblin apothecary and ship's helmsman, he is an unusual hobgoblin and is extremely friendly and warm towards the group. He partakes and creates a multitude of vices, but is supportive figure in the group.

Azalin Reviews: Darklord Soth

Domain: Sithicus Domain Formation: 720 BC Power Level: 💀💀💀💀💀 Sources: 3e: Ravenloft, Secrets of the Dread Realms, Gazetteer IV; 2e: Domains of Dread, Domains and Denizens, When Black Roses Bloom, The Evil Eye, Tales of the Lance; 5e: VRGTR; Novels: Knight of the Black Rose, Spectre of the Black Rose, Tales of Ravenloft; CW: Spousal abuse Since the new Dragonlance book came out this week, I thought I’d do a throw back Wednesday (I’m a King, I do what I want) for Lord Loren Soth, everyone’s favorite overcooked BBQ Knight of the Rusty Bucket. Creator arguments aside, Soth’s history is a bit complicated and at times convoluted, so I will be sticking mostly to how he arrived in Ravenloft and the dust he collected while there.

Lord Soth is the embodiment of what a Knight should not be wrapped in a burnt tin can covering the remains of an overdone sausage. Once a member of the highly esteemed Order of the Rose of the Knights of Solamnia, Soth was known for his so-called good deeds throughout Krynn. Now, if such good deeds are done for one’s ego and not selflessness, what are they really?

No one can doubt Soth’s devotion to the Order of the Rose after he not so subtly designed his castle, Dargaard Keep, to resemble a rose. A lack of many tall towers and skulls in my opinion, but there is no accounting for taste.

Soth had an arranged marriage with lady Gladria of Kalaman. Their marriage was a loveless and barren one. A story a bit too familiar for my tastes, so we will move on. As unhappy at home mangers tend to do, Soth forced his 13 loyal Knights to roam the relatively peaceful country side with him to “do good” so he could spend more time working than being a family man. One day they saved a group of elf maidens from ogres and Soth fell in love with one of their number, Isolde.

Soth broke his Knightly vows through his infidelity with Isolde and instead of stepping down from the Order as his womanizing father before him did, he decided the best course of action was to have his Seneschal, Caradoc, murder Gladria so he would be free to marry Isolde. And with Gladria’s corpse still warm, he did just that.

Surprisingly, the Knights of Solamnia can count to 9 and upon seeing how very pregnant Isolde was after a month of marriage figured things out. Soth was stripped of his Knightly Orders and imprisoned for his crimes. He was shortly after rescued by his 13 loyal knights and, lacking any actual plan of escape, they returned to Dargaard Keep.

Shortly thereafter, the Knights laid siege on Dargaard, demanding justice against Soth’s crimes. Stirring behind the stone pedals of his keep, Soth became physically and, at times, mentally, abusive to his men and his wife.

In a rare moment of clarity, Soth realized what a rusty old piece of junk he was being and prayed to Paladine for redemption. Why do religious types go directly to their gods? Perhaps not beating your wife and facing punishment for murdering your other wife is the actual answer here? No? Too easy? Well, as gods tend to do, Paladine offered Soth a chance at redemption – stop the power-hungry Kingpriest of Istar from binding the gods to his whim or Paladine will send a giant meteor to destroy all of Istar. Paladine: God of Ultimatums.

A little background for those unfamiliar with Istar. Istar was a center of peace for a long time but slowly descended into corruption after declaring itself to be the center of “good” and “light” in the world. The Kingpriest’s orders became more and more corrupt, eventually declaring a mere “evil” thought as a crime. He planned on binding the gods to his will and this is what Paladine sent Soth to stop.

Soth, being the dried out husk of a Labrador retriever that he is, set forth to do just that. However, he came across some of Isolde’s companions while on the road and they convinced him Isolde was being unfaithful. Soth, having no confidence in his abilities to please a woman, believed their tale without question and ran back home to yell at his wife.

As he confronted his wife, who did everything to shield their son from him, Paladine’s Cataclysm struck, setting Dargaard Keep ablaze and knocking a rather conveniently placed chandelier on top of Isolde and their son. She held out their son to him, begging Soth to save him, but he ignored her. As they died, she cursed him to “live the life of all those he had doomed”.

The flames consumed Soth and he rose as a Death Knight and the only remaining etching on his once fine armor was a single, burnt rose earning him the moniker “The Knight of the Black Rose”. His loyal Knights turned into mindless skeletons, Isolde’s elven companions into banshees, and Caradoc into a ghost.

In Krynn Soth served the dragon deity Takhisis for many years and eventually became obsessed with the Dragon Highlord, Kitiara. Ignoring his duties once more, Soth planned on trapping Kitiara’s soul in a gemstone while Takhisis was throughly distracted fighting Raistlin. Not one to do his own work, Soth sent Caradoc to collect Kit’s soul and promised Caradoc his returned mortality if he did so. Caradoc might have been considered a “fop” by most, but he was smart enough to realize that Soth would not fulfill that bargain and hid Kitiara’s trapped soul to ensure his side of the deal.

Soth, who solves all things with violence, managed to snap the neck of the ghostly Caradoc instead of bowing before him to get the soul gem. At the same time, the two were enveloped by the Mists and transported to Barovia.

In Barovia, Caradoc was under von Zarovich’s so-called protection. Caradoc stayed at the Castle Ravenloft and informed Strahd about Soth’s character and Strahd used that information against the Death Knight.

Soth’s time in Barovia mainly amounted to him falling for von Zarovich’s obvious manipulations as he ran around with the werebadger Azrael and the Vistana Magda. This resulted in one dead red dragon and Gundar’s disturbing progeny before Soth realized Caradoc was with Strahd the entire time.

After swinging his sword at everything von Zarovich could throw at him, the Count gave in and handed over Caradoc to the Death Knight. Seems bad tactics to send an army of undead against a Death Knight without using any destructive spells in his arsenal…but Strahd was not the best of students.

His ghostly seneschal back by his side, Soth proceeded to go about killing him (again), but he was denied this as the Mists came for him, forming Sithicus as his Domain.

Sithicus is a land dominated by elves, songs of lament, and a rusty Death Knight gathering dust on his throne as he stares at the Memory Mirrors Tindalfalus fashioned for him. There he was gifted with Nedragaard Keep (literally means “not Dargaard”), which resembles his old home but its shifting nature irritates the orderly soldier. He has command over his 13 skeletal knights and 13 banshees continually inform him of how horrible he his. On the full moon he must sing of all the wrongs he’s done, which in Sithicus is about every 8 days.

While Soth was collecting dust, Azrael carved a position of rulership for himself. Azrael’s machinations lead him to conduct a ritual within the Black Chapel of the Veidrava Salt Mines in order to gain control of every shadow within Sithicus and thereby grant him the power to destroy Soth and claim the throne.

Azrael was thwarted by some do-goer. The interruption of his ritual resulted in a giant ball of negative energy smashing into Nedragaard Keep. Soth was unharmed and granted a chance to undo his past by reliving the moment where he refused to save his son. He refused once more, yet was removed from Ravenloft. Depending on which source you wish to believe, back in Krynn, he found redemption after refusing service to Takhisis, which caused the goddess to grant him mortality and a swift death. Alternatively, Sithicus is now part of Klorr in 5e where all the failed Domains delve. Lord Soth may be among them.

Before all that, Soth was quite active in his Domain – seeking a way back to Krynn, obsessing over Kitiara, annoying the elves he decided he hated, and creating the most horrifying type of vampire – vampire Kender. He’s a formidable opponent with only a few spells, but of the powerful/destructive type. He has control of vast undead armies and is unstoppable force that will beat down anything in his way until it crumbles.

When not doing his best statue impersonation, Soth is not one I would want to face without sufficient preparation. His power level is certainly a 5 out of 5. Personality on the other hand…I’m not sure he has one.
