Ранчо Деллмон - Dellmon Ranch
The Dellmon family has lived in this area for several generations and is well known by the other homesteaders in the region. They are a wealthy family, having worked hard to cultivate their land, and they aren’t willing to let a bunch of ores drive them off. They’ve heard the stories of the rampaging ore war bands and seen the scouts nearby. When the attacks began on the smaller homesteads in the vicinity, Kerbin Dellmon sent out word that anyone could stay at their compound for safety. A number of farmers and ranchers took the Dellmons up on their offer.
Every able-bodied person on the premises pitched in to help bolster the defenses. They built a series of low earth ridges and ditches as defensive works running between the various buildings (see the map) and put together makeshift crenellations on the roof lines for missile combatants. They also stockpiled weapons and caches of ammunition.
THE DELLMON FAMILY
Kerbin Dellmon (male Tethyrian human noble), patriarch of the Dellmon family, refused to leave his home despite the fact that his family is in danger and might have been safer retreating to Yartar. He’s determined to stay and fight, and nothing anyone has said has changed his mind. Kerbin’s daughter Dreena sent a message to the elves of the High Forest, but no one knows if or when they might respond. As far as they know, the ranch’s defenders are on their own.
Other Dellmon family members present at the ranch include the following people:
• Kerbin’s oldest child, Perd (male Tethyrian human noble), agrees with his father’s never-give-in mentality. Perd is concerned for the safety of the children and privately wonders if staying was a mistake.
• Perd’s wife, Marka (female Tethyrian human scout) worries about whether they are safe.
• Kerbin’s middle child, Dreena (female Tethyrian human druid) is a budding member of the Emerald Enclave. She was part of the delegation sent to meet the elves, and she sent the distress message to the enclave. The Emerald Enclave doesn’t know, but Dreena also sent a distress message to the elves of the High Forest with an animal messenger spell.
• Kerbin’s younger son, Fyndrick (male Tethyrian human guard), is a hothead and has been agitating to confront the ores before they lay siege to the ranch.
• Perd and Marka’s children, Livi (female) and Thrade (male), aren’t old enough to fight, though Thrade has hidden a dagger beneath his bed.
RANCH WORKERS AND GUESTS
The Dellmons have many laborers and guests, including the following people:
• Flameran Verminbane, a lightfoot halfling scout, is a member of the Emerald Enclave and the delegation to the elves.
• Erned Stoutblade, a Tethyrian human knight and member of the Order of the Gauntlet, came from Yartar with the intention of defending the weak and meting out justice to the Iceshield tribe. He has been trying to bring retribution to the ores for their depredations, and he just arrived with news that a large ore war band is nearby and heading in the ranch’s direction. There’s not enough time to flee, and everyone is hunkering down to defend the compound as best as they can.
• Stowal and Branikan are brothers (male shield dwarf guards) who serve as the area’s blacksmiths, tinkerers, and general laborers-for-hire.
• The remaining defenders consist of eighteen farm and ranch folk, as well as a few Emerald Enclave allies. Twelve able-bodied commoners wield handaxes, sickles, or spears. Half have shortbows. Four warriors (guards) and two hunters (scouts) round out the other defenders.
Sixteen people make up a group of noncombatant adults and children. Half can carry ammunition, tend the injured, or watch over the elderly and very young.
