Radnen Gryppe
Radnen Gryppe was the Bailiff of the city of Woodwych in the Kingdom of Nyrond.
Description
Following the Greyhawk Wars Radnen Gryppe was the Bailiif for the city of Woodwych serving Baron Bastrayne of Woodwych.[1]
Radnen and Bastrayne feigned support for the king, and managed to dispatch about 70% of taxes and tithes demanded by Archbold. However, the two imposed additional taxes and tithes and were skimming abut 30-40% for themselves. They withheld wages for a month from the local militia at the start of 585 CY, blaming such on the king and then paying them to obtain their loyalty.[1]
In 586 CY Bastrayne and Gryppe fled with the bulk of the tax money they had skimmed.[2]
In Living Greyhawk
Bastrayne and Gryppe's fates were revealed in the Nyrond & Her Environs Meta-Region (NMR) adventure "The Blighted Star", the conclusion of the "Blight" series of adventures the events of which were caused by the actions of Bastrayne and Gryppe. Bastrayne and Gryppe were seized in 586 CY by natives of the Celadon as they attempted to flee, relieved of their stolen tax monies, and driven into the Celadon. Gryppe led them to the Star Haunt, where he believed the Celadon locals would not follow them. The Star Haunt affected them, but was also affected by their evil nature thus leading to the events of the "Blight" series which was caused by Bastrayne's and Gryppe's desire for revenge on the inhabitants of the Celadon. In 596 CY adventurers investigating the effects on the Celadon entered the Star Haunt and defeated Bastrayne and Gryppe, thus ending their plans and effect on Star Haunt and the Celadon. They also discovered a devilish and ensorcelled fallen meteor that had penetrated into the dungeons of the Star Haunt years before, and was used via magic by Bastrayne and Gryppe to cause of the blight that had occurred.[3]
