The Kron Quest
Early in 1992, Andrew Solberg, He Whose Real Name Must Not Be Spoke Out Loud,
was hit by a fit of something -- genius, insanity, or just too much country
music in his work environment -- and he realized something about his character
in the Inn.
Terence Kron, a nice guy, a sergeant in the Generican Guard, an honest cop,
had a Secret in his past.
His whole life was shaped in some way by this secret. It would be a boring
secret otherwise. No, it wasn't a filty dirty tawdry secret.
See, Terence Kron had a sister, Cheyenne. When they were just barely more
than kids, Cheyenne was taken. Kidnapped, or maybe killed by some random
nutcase -- Kron never found out. The attempt to find her was part of the
drive that made him want to be a soldier and later a guard. His story is
not an unusual one in Generica. People disappear for all sorts of reasons,
just like they do everywhere. Perhaps a few more people disappear than
an actuary would find reasonable, but Generica is a strange place.
Kron had enemies. Honest cops do have enemies. Someone was killed, not
a big someone, just a small-time fence and sometime pusher
with connections, name of Creft. Kron wasn't there, but clutched in
Creft's dead fist was an earring -- one of a matched set that Terry Kron
had given to his sister Cheyenne the day she disappeared. This was a very
distinctive earring, and Terry had the other one, he wore it in a locket
around his neck. He showed it to his friends on the Guard.
And when the investigator found out that Terry no longer had the earring,
Sergeant Terence Kron was suspended from the Guard and ordered not to
leave the city. Murder, after all, is a crime in Generica.
But to Kron this wasn't important. He knew only one thing -- his sister's
other earring had turned up, and that meant she might be alive out there.
And he was going to find out where.
Kron has collected a group of helpers. They run into the same riot that
burned much of Low City
(c.f. Dragon Quest)
and discover that the riots, and one of Kron's former "friends" from the
Guard, Panarchus, were connected. Panarchus is dirty, but there's no proof
yet. The next day, they travel to the Scrappy Ram
(a seedy bar and a known "connection" for the lethally
addictive drug "Joystix") where they trash the place (a small brawl with
such strangeness as a Beer Elemental summoned to destroy the invaders, and
Thk the Lizard King loses a hand (the one with the mystic ring that causes
wounds to heal) which is then lost in the sewers... and some more weirdness
happens) and get their information but then
encounter, on the outside, a combat between some interdimensional
monstrosities and one Marcel Delacroix. Marcel is a cyberpaladin.
He helps them deal with another summoned monstrosity and they lead him
back to the Dragons' Inn, where he trades language lessons with 'Raelf.
And though there's no solid evidence, yet, Kron has learned that Panarchus
is connected to the drug dealings, and that it's being run thru a warehouse
in the Low City. They decide to go after this warehouse.
