Welcome to another week at my tabletop and this week are are on the hunt for something larger than a griffon. What may you ask? The Tritnol! I would not be surprised if you had not heard of one before as they are quite the oddity. Rumoured to be larger than a griffon, maybe not as ferocious but definitely stronger. A wise man would keep ample food with them as they are voracious eaters but once sated they are calm creatures.
So to avoid spending the night writing about these creatures in the intro, let’s explore another action packed adventure by grabbing a coffee, sitting down and rolling into tonight’s adventure!
Bounty set, wager ready and the hunt for the Tritnol’s nest is ready. Rumoured to be several times heavier than a griffon, the Tritnol egg’s weight in gold is a small fortune for an everyday person. But for adventurers the bounty on three such eggs is surely worth the risk.

“Not having seen something doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Rumours of the mad mage, Albazahr’s, creations have spread far and wide and none are as weird as the very creature that lives in the Toll Mountains. The Tritnol is a savage creature, larger than a griffon but twice as mean. With teeth that rip like daggers, talons like swords and the ability to breathe out fire hot enough to melt a golem. These creatures are feared and hate…” the man stopped as someone started clapping from the doorway.
The hunter was boasting about taking down one of the creatures for the fourth night in a row, having slain it with a perfect shot from his mighty black-wood bow. But it seems that someone wasn’t as excited about the story as he had hoped.
“A great story Callum, but that is all that it is. A story. The Tritnol’s are a passive creature driven by hunger primarily. Instead of sharp teeth they have a beak, not overly sharp as it’s used on vegetation primarily. They don’t even have talons but more like. Stubby toenails at best. Oh my the Tritnol is a marvellous creature but it sounds like you have slain something entirely different. Do go on.” the elven hunter, El’thirnol, mocked as he strode through the door.
“I’m telling you the truth. The nest lays empty but a day’s climb into the mountains. Three eggs lay there. If I could have gold to buy some gear that I lost in the daring fight I will climb back up and show you.” Callum hastily replied back, his face a mask of sweat.
“A wager then!” called El’thirnol. “One of these eggs weight in gold if you can bring it back to me. If you bring back all three then that’s three times the coin. If you can do that Callum, or anyone else in this room, then my gold and respect is yours.”
Another week has come and with it, another week of adventuring. Don’t forget that each day this week we will be expanding the adventure to include more details. So don’t forget to come back each day this week and as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
