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) King Rods: Landed Noble; a Baron or other high born official who governs an area under the authority of a more powerful emperor or monarch. In these more troubled times, as kings loose their rights and their kingdoms are being dismantled, such a man may wield unrestricted power in an area ("here I am the law"). Inverted, Urban Aristocrat; a lord who manages and rules a city or port for a more powerful emperor or monarch. As with baron, this city may only pay lip-service or bear false allegiance to the rightful king or emperor.
- (Inverted) Magician: Patron is guileful, silver-tongue, wheeler-dealer. In many cases the Patron will promise more information or reward than he will eventually provide, and just as often the players will unwittingly accept before payment is discussed. Inverted, Patron is totally honest, detests secrets, confides all to the players. Players can expect to be treated fairly, if they treat the Patron the same.
UnderWorld Mission:
- (Inverted) Queen Rods: Deface or destroy an alter in the underworld. Inverted, destroy a device of power by bringing it to the surface ("cleansing rays of sun").
Obstacles (UW):
- 3 Cups: Supreme Beast. Terrible beast that originally killed another beast to takes its territory (domain). Inverted, Watching Beast. Creature that hides and waits for victims to suffer mishap before attacking from the shadows.
Motivation:
- 10 Swords: Riches, gold and wealth for the asking. Inverted, false hopes or fool's greed.
Finances:
- Knight Rods: Patron pays no coin wage, but all provided items may be kept. Inverted, Patron will not pay a wage, but he tells the players they may keep whatever items and equipment he provides (these he'll steal back after the mission).
Rival:
- Knave Cups: Crusader for the One True God. Inverted, Priest or Inquisitor of One True God.
- Death: Person is currently wounded or ill. Inverted, will die from wound sometime during scenario.
