(I spell quite bad in English I know (dyslexic)) I once started a thread here about my chronicle but life came at me like a freight train so my time to post in it went down to zero. Now my players want me to continue our story this weekend and I realized that I only have some outlines and I don’t know how I’m goanna make it a whole section. So I put up the basic here and ask fore some ideas, hints, and tips whatever as long as its good. Primarily I’m looking fore intrigues or a scene that does promote role-playing (I have hade a lot of fighting before and now I reserve fights for special occasions). Characters (short descriptions): (all except Jarot Jaezer have played all stories, Jarot came in last section) Arden (scholar type but aiming for Cyran avenger) Cadwyn (A young peasant girl that served as a soldier in ir’Telem’s household before going to the army , have a new interest for arcane magic) Darakath Ahn (A quite simple hunter who hate Valenar and seek revenge fore his killed family) Degen Jaezer (A tavern keeper who’s son was enslaved by the Darguun goblins during the war) Jarot Jaezer (new to the group, was a siege engineer during the war and when he found his brother in law in New Cyre he promised to help him find his family) Untamo ir’Telem (A quite cynical man from a decadent family, now he tries to find a way to watch of his families past sins) Stories played this far (really short mode): Recruitment day 992 YK: The character joined the Cyran army (for different reasons) and hade a strange dream (that was the set up for all to come) the most important feature here is that they met a Dusk Hag that offered them a vision of their future for a price. The only prize that might be relevant for the coming part is that Cadwyn was asked to keep a black stone safe from harm. When they woke up from the dream there was no black stone but Cadwyn have not felt the need to eat since then and from time to time she thinks someone is talking to her. (Guess what the big climax for the possession will come later but…) (Well Degen promised away his daughter which he regrets but... that’s another story) War 992-994: this was a lot of vignettes during the war, (both to get the group together and to make some “fun” and scary scenes). Nothing really important (for the coming story) to know happened here (I’m not saying that day of mourning wasn’t important but…). Peace 996: The characters followed regent Oragev to the peace treaty in Thronholde. They never was on the actual meeting but escorted the regent on a daily basic. The story was outside of the meeting and was set up in different sections. The two important sections for next part is 1: they met a gnome diplomat from Zilargo, first he just showed them his empathy for what happened on day of mourning. Later he asked a favor of them, to immediately bring a letter to his daughter in Trollanport. The characters tried to explain why they could not go immediately and he left them (he just wanted others to se an argument between him ant the characters). Some days after that Fargas turned up murdered and rumors started to spread that he hade talked to some “Mourners”. They started to investigate and realized that Fargas hade letters whit Untamos handwriting that was “death treats”. They tried to get rid of the evidence but another Gnome named Namfoodle turned up and said (hey I’m only the messenger) Fargas want you to take this message to his daughter and you will get the false letters if you do (if the letter turn up at wrong place or… (And yes Fargas is dead)). 2: they got some strange tests I’m not going in to them but in the end they got a ’Letter of Dispensation’ from King Kaius III that simply says it’s ok for them to kill General Gustavos ir’Hellekanus (the one after Degens son). So last time we played I said: what do you want to do next. They’re response was (a lot longer but I shorten it down to what they are up to next section): 1: Got to Zilargo to deliver the mail to Fargas daughter 2: Go to Korranberg for a lot of research 3: Go to Darguun and find Degens son (and hopefully kill Gustavos how for some reason wants to find Degens son to). My ideas now… 1: Yes, they will meat up whit a clan friend to Fargas and his daughter (actually a member of the Trust whit fake papers) who offers to take the letter to his cosine, and off cause compensate them for the trouble Fargas put them in (and he meets theme before they reatch Trollanport so they get a shorter way to travel to Korranberg). When they report to Namfoodle he will be upset cause they was supposed to deliver it to Fargas daughter not to some cosine of them. (If they don’t by the trick the trust steal the letter). Well this one is open because it all depends on what they do. 2: Well research is research (the players gave me a list of everything they wanted research and that’s quite a bit…) 3: The Darguun part is quite simple (i) Let them search for information on Degens son, it leads to Dhakaani (ii) travel to Dhakaani territory they will say something like “oh that slave he’s dead taken by ‘the eater of dead’” (iii) off cause they wont give up goblins says “oki this way” leads t a cave that have been fortified and have some kind of altar (goblin throw down their slaves there for the “eater to eat”). He fled from our camp in there we wont go close. (iv) they go in build up creepiness throw my (goblin ghoul/ranger (who the other goblin believes is a avatar of “eater of dead”) during fight Degens son will turn up and stop it (he have aberrant mark of inflict pain and happened to heal the ghoul when he fled in with made the ghoul “like him” (in lack of better words). Hapy happy joy joy… Gustavos turns up and take Degens son away (no they stand no chance towards him right now) [the end (for now)] So as you see I have a short outline but a lot that I need to do, so as I said any hints and tips are welcome. (ask more questions if you want to know)
