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) Knave Swords: Female Warrior; another example of chauvinism, in that despite her prowess, Patron is not respected or has no legal right to bear arms. Feminist overtones ("women are superior to men") are a must for proper role-play. Inverted, Female in Man's Attire; Patron appears to be male, but is in fact a female who disguises her identity; players should discover this fact sometime during the scenario. Since the female disguises her sex, she may be hiding from a suitor, past lover, cultural taboos, etc.
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) 5 Cups: Regal Beast. Creature of age that can sometimes be enticed to answer questions about the past or the world in general. Inverted, Magical Beast. Creature that can summon the forces of magic and control the perceptions of man through illusion, incantation and charm.
- Chariot: Area around the underworld can be exceptionally difficult to cross or dangerous to enter. Perhaps traps and magical curses have been placed by the surface inhabitants to keep the dangers that await below from coming forth into the light.
Motivation:
- 9 Rods: Preface to future plan, goal or aim. Inverted, preface to future plan with completion by the players vital.
Finances:
- (Inverted) Knave Rods: Rich, but "dwarf-tight" with money and property. Inverted, Patron is rich, but pays mere lip-service from his money, troops and property -- promises much but gives little of any practical use.
Rival:
- Queen Swords: Noble Woman. Inverted, Queen Dowager (mother of monarch).
