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:
- (Inverted) 5 Coins: Invalid; person injured or magically cursed so that he is physically handicapped -- no longer can walk, hands feeble, disfigured. Mission will almost always have a Motive of revenge, so do not pick a card for Motive (or ignore picked card). Inverted, Blind Man; a person who has lost his sight. He may have overcome this weakness by ability or magic.
UnderWorld Mission:
- (Inverted) 8 Rods: Gold and Treasure, need there be another Motive for Mission. Inverted, Patron has a map to a supremely rich vault -- "yeah, but what's guarding it?"
Obstacles (UW):
- (Inverted) King Coins: Bane of Steel. Creature that destroys metal that it contacts. These often excrete a strong acid that will also damage flesh (after first spoiling a good suit of chain. Inverted, Impervious to Steel. Creature that can not be harmed by metal weapons, yet earthy weapons of wood and stone can bring it down.
Motivation:
- 5 Cups: Legal, moral or political motive. Inverted, secure rights that present rulers or governments do not recognize.
Finances:
- Knave Cups: Outwardly without means; secretly has great wealth. Inverted, Patron claims to have no wealth, but secretly he has much; players recognize this fraud.
Rival:
- 3 Cups: Guildmaster. Inverted, Craftsman.
- Magician: Person is opposite of expected gender. Inverted, person is extremely old or young for position.
