Summer Vacation

Remember the rules, adults are crazy

Luke - summer school - gym - coach boomer - wind sprints, across the city (manticore)
Hank - hong kong or ? well to do but focused - sent to camp - tech? music? (Gargoyle)
Seth - dig in the yucatan? (chupacombra)
Roy - beach in city (minotaur)
Rajive - Egypt? nothing... scarabs, he's on his own, raven, (sphinx)
David - Alps - skiing - (gryffin)


proposed monsters
dragon
Chinese god
weather

what is the dragon after?
what form/type chinese god?

fire is as all fire


worm
lizard
long tail
flame
wings (no flame)
smart

minotaur
sphinx
gryphon
chinese dragons (good)


dungeon story
delve into ?
portals from one space toanother?
monsters everywhere?
god out to get Rajive?


xplosives under empire high
why are those 'gods' attacking Raj?


it's a widget hunt
one old "red dragon" is searching for an object lost some years ago. He is researching a certain "Crimson Cranium" who had a history in this area during the war. He left behind an artifact of minor power but major repercussions. He will be seen on the beach, wandering downtown, in the alps, at the dig, etc. In each case his power will reflect that of the PC (tp, fire, flight, affinity for gems, god like spells, moving quickly)

What's he looking for?
How did the CC catch the Hero's?
rod/staff/wand
Red Panda didn't find it. there wasn't time.

left somewhere in Emp High, used to mind control/wipe students/parents as needed.


who is sending the monsters?
the good chinese dragon
perhaps this foe is a hydra/dragon, splitting each each into a body. All similar in appearance, each helps fight the monsters.

What's the clue chain?
he's asking for help
looking for something
asks about artifacts
seeks knowledge
gets magic sensor?
gets any of them to mention EH?
gets to Boomer, or other teacher
fight, fire, tnt.

FC 4 - Door to Door fighting with cantrips

lgame hook - the PC's were about to jump on the little Kobold Accountant. The end flashback was of someone jumping on one of them (who?)

That jumper may be Sean's pc/npc Perhaps a dwarven cleric or fighter. He may be a bully of some sort. being strong would help despite his young age, perhaps dwarves are full grown at 10?

in the flashback, the next PC should 'choose' - that would be Thayer (Ryan), which gives us a glimpse of the magic wing.
What can the PC's do! What npc interaction will there be?
what kid like action is going on? dodgeball? lock picking?

-- teenage action ---

return to future

skip ahead from tower, remember this game has to be episodic, everything raps up in one session so if a player can't make it it's not a problem.

--needs a plug n play with undead with or without in case Ben's cleric isn't there.

-- needs more action, more than one combat, maybe a series of combat scenes? like a house clearing? (going door to door in an overrun village, making sure it's safe for the villagers to return
-- just design each hovel as an encounter, make a rough map, and let them pick a door!

NEED 10
-- something dangerous and feral at the butchers
-- rust monster(s) at the blacksmithy
-- goblins a plenty at each bar

-- centaurs drinking root beer
-- most buildings apparently empty
-- one furnished with a deadly rug and ceiling drapery (with hints)

-- fountain at street crossing - something in the water
-- thieves in an alley
-- goblins looting

-- undead guarding bank? food stores? goblins attacking
-- Ogre pen - ogre poodo
-- old man/woman making predictions

-- leader kobold giving orders to the few remaining, he has plans, they won't last.
