Week Long Pause

-

 Hey everyone! Just a little update here. I am going to be taking a break from running for the week. Tied to that, I am going to suspend taking downtime actions for the week as the fallout over the events of Mischief Night plays out (people need bailing out of jail, bodies need to be buried, folks have to pull themselves together after being traumatized by horrid visions, etc.). I am not going to lie that while the events of Mischief Night have long been in the making (they were going to originally play out over the tournament that never happened), that they can give me a much needed breather is definitely an added bonus. I know this break happens at a bit of an inopportune time with Scamandros and Crambo's fates being left in the hands 

That said, I have a list of items I hope to get caught up on this week if possible. They are:

  1. Finish the play recap from last Friday's session.
  2. Write a post about Wolfgang's new dojo, the techniques available for study, and the complication currently plaguing it.
  3. Provide retainer info to two players.
  4. Resolve Sergio Cankersore's contracted research into the black goo that was once Rosey the Bartender.
  5. Produce the results of Phasmo's research into the runes on Huugal's skull.
  6. Take care of a few items for the players of the missing Scamandros and Crambo.
  7. Relay to Bors Redbeard's player what befell him on Mischief Night since he made his save.
  8. Take on one final new downtime resolution for Journeyman Crannoc as he did not play last week.
I will keep posting to the blog this week when I can but may be less active on Discord. Next week, I hope to run a session for the Drinking Crow and at least one for the Burning Witch (and hopefully if only one it will be addressing Scamandros and Crambo's situation). Thanks everyone! See you all soon!.

Downtime Activity- Find the Right Buyer

-
Image
  Dungeons are packed with treasure. After all, isn't that why adventurers decide to plumb their depths? While treasure finds of items that spend easily like coins of precious metals, gems, and jewelry often make up the winnings of successful adventuring expeditions; they are not the only items of value a party will haul back to the surface world.  Eager to make the most out of a group's expeditions, they often grab anything that looks like one could turn over for a quick coin or two. To turn such items into gold, though, adventurers have to locate an interested party to sell these art objects, non-magical tomes, trade goods, and other valuable dungeon oddities. Below is a new downtime system for locating buyers for dungeon treasures not inherently valuable like coins or gems or easily pawned off due to being made of inherently high-value items (like jewelry, items made of precious metals, etc.). The activity is based on some of the other downtime systems designed by Ben L. w...

Adventuring in the Twilight Age

-
Image
Welcome to the Twilight Age Ever since the Empire-That-Was receded, no human endeavor under the fading red sun has reached its heights. Some say humankind no longer possesses the know-how to reach such grandeur. Others claim that confronting daily a sun that could fail them at any moment has filled folks with a spirit of defeat. Regardless of the reasons, it is in the face of such apocalyptic ennui that we find the peoples of Ur-Dun. Just south of the fallen Imperial capital city, this series of towns have become petty city-states just as embroiled in squabbles as they are in desperate dependencies fundamental to their survival. These human-led settlements are not the only civilized peoples in Ur-Dun. The mortal regents possess delicate treaties with distant Elfin Courts. The Gloaming Hills below the Slumbering Mountains are populate with small pastoral settlements of the hill dwarf (re: gnome) descendants of the folk that built the Imperial-era structures that litter the r...

Red Riders of the Drinking Crow Sessions #81-85, 87-89, and 93- The Black Pyramid

-

 Back at the dawning days of autumn, a group of the Red Riders left from the Drinking Crow to journey into the Complex. They aimed to join a pair of lunar elves, Aureal and Ruitat, on their spiritual quest give to them by their Dreaming Tree: journey into the plane-hopping dungeon called the Black Pyramid. Visions of this foreboding structure had plagued the citizens of Orm for over a year. They grew more ominous and vivid with each passing day until it had materialized within the Great Cavern. What would they find within the pyramid? The Red Riders that had lived among lunar elves had been told it contained wealth beyond their wildest dreams. More importantly, the structure was a spiritual trial that could result in profound understandings. This view was not shared by others. The Phantomorians who had been staying at the Lazy River warned of the existential threat posed by the Black Pyramid. They preach that it is the embodiment of the left hand path that stands in opposition of t...
