Spacegamer.com - Barony Underworld Mission:
This uses the Tarot Card to Generate a "Underworld" Mission on the Fly as described in Designing Fantasy Missions as part of the Barony Set. (Underworld means it is focused on an Underworld.) No attempt is made here to define each of the finer points.
To begin, determine who the mission is offered to and call them the Party Leader (to accept / reject Mission).
Note: This mission is temporary. Copy it out now if you want it.
Mission Title:
Party Leader:
Patron:
- 7 Rods: Constable or Sheriff; a person whose tasked with maintaining order and enforcing the laws of the land, usually inside a city or town. Many of these men work directly for the warden; but, they enjoy increased autonomy when times are dangerous, and the warden is busy along the borders. Mission almost always involves the Patron's duties, but not always apprehending criminals. Many of these men are so corrupt or drunk with their own power, that they frequently violate all manner of laws to enforce simple ordinances. Inverted, Vigilantes or Woman Wronged; a person who takes the law into his own hands in an effort to secure justice ("however warped that may be"). Mission relates to the vigilante's plans, though perhaps not directly in revenge.
UnderWorld Mission:
- (Inverted) 4 Cups: Follow a map to a powerful item. Inverted, not a map, but a complex puzzle, set of clues or diving rod of sorts ("funny how it seems to take the hardest route through all the monsters").
Obstacles (UW):
- (Inverted) 2 Swords: Two beasts share a domain. Pick two cards (treat second pick as "OBSTACLE??"); both exist in harmony in underworld. Inverted, again pick two cards (treat second pick as "OBSTACLE??"), but two creatures battle with each other for control of the domain.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 5 Swords: Acting on instructions from another whose motive was never known or understood. Inverted, the motive is private -- players will not know.
Finances:
- 10 Cups: Recent catastrophe exhausted wealth; funds are meager. Inverted, Patron covers the fact a personal disaster has consumed much of his wealth; he feigns a rich lifestyle.
Rival:
- 6 Swords: Duelist. Inverted, Avenger or Queen's Champion.
