Adventures in a Doomed World: Session 16

Image
I'm playing a mashup of  Scarlet Heroes  and  Basic Fantasy RPG  with a few supplements to turn it into a solo fantasy hexcrawl in the world of Eilobar, a doomed land entering its end times. I'm using the  Level 0 Character Tumbler , Hexcrawl Aventures and also  47 Critical Hit Tables to Spice Up Your Game . The characters started as level 0 peasants and have since levelled up to become heroes. Introduction The heroes have led a group of miners in retaking their hamlet, Laford, from a goblin tribe that occupied it. After a day's rest, they discuss their next move. The Adventure "There's always a chieftain, I tell you!" Cyna exclaims, as the party sits in the sun the next day, discussing their plan of action. "We need to find their lair and kill it to make sure these people aren't raided again a few days from now". "Agreed," Stilda says. "We don't have time to trudge back to Keyham to buy supplies, we need to press the attack ri...

Having survived an ambush in the woods by hobgoblins, they are ready to continue their journey. The Adventure It's going to take them another day to reach the next hex, so they make camp and settle in for a night in the woods. Waking up refreshed, they head southwest through the dense forest, which leads them up into hills covered with trees. Here they come upon what seems to be a mine. They're really close to Laford now so it must belong to the village. Does...

Hobgoblin fight. I'm playing a mashup of  Scarlet Heroes  and  Basic Fantasy RPG  with a few supplements to turn it into a solo fantasy hexcrawl in the world of Eilobar, a doomed land entering its end times. I'm using the  Level 0 Character Tumbler , Hexcrawl Aventures and also  47 Critical Hit Tables to Spice Up Your Game . Starting with level 0 characters I'm attempting to keep them alive long enough to level up from -100 to 1 XP and become actual heroes. Introduction Last time, the celebrations over Mothric's death were cut short as the party learned of the fate of Laford, the small hamlet where we started the first character tumbler/funnel adventure. They're now on their way to liberate it from the goblin tribe that overran it. The Adventure Laford lies about six hexes to the southwest. Not far, but we don't know what the terrain is like yet. The heroes set out immediately. In the plains to the west they discover heavy flooding (this is the rainy season...

Introduction We left Stilda, Bryne, Cyna and Helia in the Tunnels of Mothric, clearing the last section of the first level. The Adventure The party leaves the kobolds' room and walks north up the corridor. Taking a door on the left, it opens into a room with a bed and some simple furniture. A giant crab spider is sitting next to a treasure chest. This will be a dangerous fight. Helia shoots first, but misses. They rush towards the spider, Stilda charging it and bringing her longsword down. It hits the spider in the middl...

  I'm playing a mashup of  Scarlet Heroes  and  Basic Fantasy RPG  with a few supplements to turn it into a solo fantasy hexcrawl in the world of Eilobar, a doomed land entering its end times. I'm using the  Level 0 Character Tumbler , Hexcrawl Aventures and also  47 Critical Hit Tables to Spice Up Your Game . Starting with level 0 characters I'm attempting to keep them alive long enough to level up from -100 to 1 XP and become actual heroes. Introduction The heroes are on their way home after an abortive attempt to find Mothric in the Tunnels - Bryne was knocked into a pit the monsters used as a toilet, so she has to go home and clean up. The Adventure While crossing the ruined village in the swamp, Cyna discovers she has foot fungus (a random weather event). Stilda bandages it but it will stop them from moving for four days while it heals. I'm going to let Stilda roll a check using her Heal skill to see if she can reduce that time by 1D4 days. Check:...
