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:
- 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.
- (Inverted) Devil: Patron is evil, without pity, conscience or sense of loyalty; only in rare cases will the players know this fact. Inverted, further Patron will do anything to satisfy Mission goal -- anything.
UnderWorld Mission:
- 2 Rods: Travel to a place in the underworld seeking a cure for a disease or curse that affects an area; usually at this place players must perform a ritual, recover an item or slay a powerful force (or all three). Inverted, players also are afflicted by powerful curse, so time is short.
Obstacles (UW):
- Knave Swords: False Beast. Creature that is not so fierce or terrible as the legends (local rumor) has claimed. Inverted, Many and Twisted Forms of Goblin. Minor nasties that make up for their lack of size and strength by almost always attacking in numbers; still they often flee rather than fight ("easier to steal a babe, than bring down a grown man").
Motivation:
- (Inverted) Ace Swords: Insane, distraught, obsessed with action. Inverted, visibly apparent to all he meets that he is obsessed.
Finances:
- (Inverted) King Rods: Wealthy, but without local power and influence. Inverted, Patron was once the leading government official; he has wealth, but has since lost political power.
Rival:
- (Inverted) 3 Coins: Forester or Ranger. Inverted, Druid or Elf.
- (Inverted) Justice: Person has numerous allies in the barons. Inverted, a foreign ruler or emperor.
