Alternate D&D Setting: Dwarves

A while back I posted about my friend's home-brewed world for D&D 2e. I have some of his notes. Here's the write up on dwarves:

The dwarves of this world automatically gain a plus to strength (+1) and constitution (+2) for they were hardened by what they call The ORDEAL. The clan units have grown, even fighters, as a whole. Dwarves consider humans as a good race to trade and fight with, but otherwise they have no use for them. Dwarves consider elves to be less than nothing. A dwarf may attack an elf on sight for they consider elves to have conspired with the Wyrm Lords. Any dwarf worth his weight in battle will carry a stout weapon of dwarven make which will be inscribed with his clan, family, and personal name, as well as any runic battle symbols endowed to him by a priest of Yarnok the dwarven god of battle and the hall. Or even runes of Sertig, the Maker.

[D&D 5e] Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden 17

The party left the ice fortress to check out the dead body we heard was frozen in the ice halfway up the island. The body was of Nas. It turned out she was still there in spirit, and she possessed Vael. In Vael’s body, she went after the Codicil that Ylenn had her face stuck in.

After he was far enough away, the spirit had to return to the dead body…which Morgan had burned to a crisp. We got the orb containing Professor Scant from Nas’ dead body. We circled the island, looking for the whale or another good way off. We couldn’t find one. Ylenn said she could summon the whale, if we could just last the night. We made a lean-to to sleep in and keep cover from the roc. As an octopus, Morgan was able to get some sail from a sunken ship to cover our lean-to. He also was able to find a huge treasure che

The Gathering Storm Complete Play Report

 (I have merged all my Gathering Storm posts into this one for easy access) [WFRP 1e] The Gathering Storm 1   A Quest from A Merchant   Kraft was contacted by a local member of the Merchant’s Guild. He was given the party’s name by one of his financers, von Bruner. It seems a member of the guild traveled to Stormdorf to sell a few loads of coal. The merchant should have returned by now, and the guild is getting worried. They would like to know the whereabouts of the merchant, Florian Wechsler, and the return of his guild ring if he is no longer alive.   They party accepted the quest without hesitation. The merchant felt compelled to inform them that things are very wet in Stormdorf, as it rains a lot. He suggested making sure they had hooded cloaks and/or wide brimmed hats.   The group returned to the dwarves, hoping against hope that they could find some rain gear on the cheap. The dwarves were planning to go to Stormdorf themselves to sell some coal after visiting Grunwald Lodge. The
