The V.A.L.U.E. of Wishful Thinking

Sure sounds good. And if @Lux_Tenebraeque brings someone who keeps everyone alive I don’t worry about a level spread

Hello, I would also like to join with a T1 or T2 character :slight_smile:

Would love to join a table as a player, Tier 1-4 =) Likely qualifying as an experienced player, I’d be open to making @Tea007’s life a tad easier. However, I’m naturally open to joining any table that will have me.

Hey everybody, it seems like ~8 players are currently without DM, at least in the living list and from what I can count while browsing this forum page. What is needed?

Potential DMs have about ~3h to prepare and get to Requisite right now ^^

I think we are fine - one more goes with Tea, I’ll take 2-3 more, the remaining 4-5 jump on with Blueblaze.

If things really goes wrong I could rerun something, would be the fallback option though.

Don’t think it’ll get that far. If blueblaze can’t make it, then either katnyx or I can step in.

Hi no need to stress if things are that stressful I can move my participation next week to make things easier :). It gives me also time to prepare my char abit better. Not happy where he is right now

If I understand things correctly, we should be all good today. No need to bow out due to courtesy, Flameorc. Gives you a chance to develop your character through gameplay, as well.

I am a bit ashamed to change mind in the last minute, but Ill have to pass this time. Family got urgent plans

we’re good :slight_smile: I can also run something if it’s full, we just need to wait and see what happens :slight_smile:

Unfortunately we’re gonna have to cancel. @Saphira is not feeling well, and we were hoping she’d be well enough to go tonight, but unfortunately no. Sorry for being so last minute. Hope you all have fun

I shall likewise bow out, best of fun to all of you =)

With thanks to Darla @Martin , Nisfegerrik @katnyx , Galadriel @eeni34 , Balthus Darkcloud @Flameorc and Francis @Col_Mustard_Ret for completing Written in Blood.

Our heroes were presented with a missive by Rougher - a request by Folbitz the merchant to go to the town of Promise and meet the merchant Aunt Dellie. They met some goblin bargemen and made their way up river before hiking out to Promise.

The arrived to find the Awakening festival in full swing and joined in, getting dolls made, songs composed and performing magic acts. Suddenly, among the brightly dressed revellers, some shambling farmers attacked the crowd.

Leaping into action, our heroes defend the people and taken down the attackers, slaying all but one. As they fell the last, a lady emerges from the crowd - Aunt Dellie. The attackers were farmers from an outlying community, one of them with a drawing of a grim scene of grasping hands clutched in their hand. Examination of the survivor reveals some kind of magical control or coercion. After negotiating compensation, our heroes agree to check in on Dellie’s niece Kianna, in who’s hand the sketch was drawn.

Others of the community attempt to tag along with the heroes - Lady Dre and Proclaimer Ward - but they are seen off with harsh words and thrown fists before the party hike out to wards the farmstead where Kianna lives.

Through sickly fields and blighted terrain they travel before coming upon a farmer being chased through a cropfield. Fighting off the coyotes, the heroes rescue Uncle Polder who tells them something of the drying Ribbon and the dangerous Rattle. Staying overnight the heroes then hike out and are nearing their destination when the ground collapses and Francis finds himself in a pit fighting off crawling claws. Dispatching those, they continue, arriving at Kiannas farmstead they find a cluster of houses abandoned and daubed with grim paintings in red mud.

Carefully checking through the house they hack through the floor and find a tunnel stinking of rot and echoing with a faint song. Seeking the true basement entrance they find more controlled farmers standing stock still. These are attacked immediately and felled - two killed, two bound - before they continue down into the tunnels.

Down they go, into a newly dug cavern where they find a girl singing the song amids a pile of corpses and another pile of limbs. Confirming this is Kianna they find her confused and scared of ‘Culley’ her friend who drowned, no, who she saved. Trying to bring Kianna away, the heroes are confronted by ‘Culley’, the pile of limbs rising like a grotesque undead starfish to claw and crush them. Darla nearly meets her maker in its grip before they fell it and it splinters into a scurrying pile of crawling claws. Pursuit and flung magic destroys these claws before they get far.

With the monster, this soul-shaker destroyed, the remaining farmers begin to wake and after an hour so does Kianna, herded back towards Uncle Polders farm and thence onwards to Promise. Kianna is returned to a grateful Aunt Dellie.

Aunt Dellie rewards everyone with 100gp each for restoring Kianna to her. Anyone who wishes can also take a Bag of Holding, gifted by the grateful farmers. The completed trade with Aunt Dellie and Folbitz provides food and provisions for the Golden Cockerel and keeps Fluffy and his brothers fed for another moon.
