FC 19 - post GENCON - Dragon Problem?

Guest appear to include Brody and Natalie, we are probably missing Orion for the whole night.

How can I put a twist on the GENCON lucy-lou daddy story?  Shame for Orion to miss that, will seem more like Natalies Character relationship.  hmmm?

Change whole sequence?
  flashback, protective gear, dad and dragon?

dad/mom, different kid?  different dragon story?

or keep whole thread, add some approach encounters to make it the whole evening?

Or dump the idea, return to it later with Orion, and head south into?

WE have the knights of St Mark to meet, and their white book to investigate?

Time to define somethings about the books regardless
Time to read the Intelligent item rules? ... be right back.


If they head south, they should run into some resistance form the black army, scouts or an end around, which they can squash with the knights, or just watch them.

Then they should be sent south to rally the elves, who are drifting in their slumbering woods

------


If they head north to deal wih the dragon problem...


q? did they chase the orc through the town?

1- First they encounter some other Orc tribes ... bloody foot, red hand, blue moon, white clover.
  Remember Russian accent - this is all an Afghanistan reference after all.

Start in castle,
Baron is accepting of Ariel - after plots stymied
then the princess
has a favor to ask them - will they go fetch some herbs she's been reading about?

it's an owlberry, protected by owlbears, in a swamp controlled by snaketaurs. Lead by a Shamanistic leader that makes them swear in blood on the swamp to return within a year either with a replacement guardian or to be the guardian. Ken does not swear. Thayer bluffs that they do not know who that person(ken) was that was attacking the guards, That guard would recognise Ken again if he shows himself, and maybe either of the 2 other guards might have seen him.

Most of the guards did not see him at all.

Countess Ariel

Daughter of the dead Count.

Niece of Baron Elsmire.

Tempted by dark book, would do anything to protect her County from the evil forces!

FC 1/28/2011 draft

Start at top of tower

Review situation

Current HP, etc

See if/who grabs the staff

See if they need reminder about the scroll

Remind of visual’s pointy crenellations (teeth)

Rescue her!

Turning rules

Too many zombies

Foreshadow opponents via zombies vs goblins

Once back on far side of river

Camp is in disarray, all packing up or standing guard

Baron Elsmire her Uncle has taken charge – as she would expect

Tells her to pack her gear an be ready to move out

She protests that she will remain active, he dismisses her

Watchful pc’s will see him chatting with a compatriot immediately after

She returns to her tent, furious

If the PC’s don’t follow / monitor her – Sarge will assign them to it

-Rogue opportunity to watch Baron at leaders tent.

Soon after a group of ruffian’s try to get into her tent.

The PC’s are free to stop them outside

If they don’t they’ll see her get carted off.

They better follow

Once they have her, she realizes she cannot stay and runs

They must follow and protect her!

First stop – a road house,

n Looks like Lou’s downstairs – posts, bar, tables, add a back door

She won’t be able to act like a commoner – expecting rooms and service

Let them try to stop her

Spot checks / diplomacy / social skills will help them notice folks watching them and heading out …

They get attacked in the bar right away – local militia

If the PC’s don’t come up with anything, the zombies attack!

Second stop – next day on the road

Evil flying PTerodacdyls over head

Hide!

If they don’t it comes down and eats a pack animal, the one with all her extra stuff! (horror)

Next night – in the wild

??? Zombies / worms / wolfducks / goblins / local ruffians

need a cool night time monster, just a few, make it more interesting

Morning - outside the castle

Chase! As they near the castle their pursuers approach (riding checks!)

Goblins on Wolfducks!!

Last stop – scene inside castle

Baron Elsmire has arrived already (how? dark magic??) He greets her?

What scene for Rogues?
