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) 9 Swords: Guild of Beast; loosely formed society, not truly a guild that deals in the capture and training of animals. Since gladiatorial games of once supreme emperors (some still even reigning) require exotic beasts, these men collectively joined to share secrets and refine their talents. In later days, their titles have become mostly ceremonial, but some members (maybe even this Patron) still know the craft, magic or skill of mastering beasts. Inverted, Cult of Dark One; Patron is a member of a group that worships demons and depravity. He ultimately seeks a return to the days of rampant magic and random power. Today, most of these cults are simply groups of snake charmers. Patron will keep his affiliation (loyalty and worship) a secret.
UnderWorld Mission:
- (Inverted) 7 Coins: Totally annihilate the inhabitants and minor cultures that exist in the underworld. Inverted, kill all remaining monsters of a certain type; the last of the species all live in the underworld (Mission usually takes place close to breeding time).
Obstacles (UW):
- (Inverted) King Swords: Terrible Beast. Inside ancient hall lies a hungry beast waiting for treasure seekers or those foolish enough to wander in error. Inverted, Fierce Beast. Monster that has many dangerous methods of attacking and rending flesh.
Motivation:
- (Inverted) 4 Rods: Monetary gamble, but with high pay off. Inverted, low money gain, but assured chance of success with patience.
Finances:
- 6 Coins: Carries simplest of items, but knows contacts and Friends to acquire anything else. Inverted, though having many contacts and friends, Patron dislikes using favors; he can get anything, but players' need better be justified.
Rival:
- 2 Swords: Gentleman. Inverted, Foreign or Exotic Traveler.
Phases
