A bit of absolutely not ransoming the dark horse of one noble house, leads to our heroes' first descent beneath the city of Ptolus. Their objective - a mineral so rare that it takes Rob forever to find a picture of it to show us.

We prepare for an extended foray into Monte Cook's monumental city supplement "Ptolus", using "Dungeon World". We begin with an overview of the system and the supplement, and jump right into character creation, with more than a few sidetracks down rabbit holes.
