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) 4 Cups: Warden; a man tasked by a Baron or other powerful land owner to patrol his frontiers and rid the land of monsters and bandits. Inverted, Man obsessed on Goal or Someone who Seeks Revenge; a person with a Mission or Motive that is often illegal. Players may not be asked to commit crime themselves, but their Mission's completion will aid the Patron toward his illegal end. The obsession of the Patron may also cause the request to be "an offer that can't be refused" (without starting a fight).
- Justice: Patron up to this time has been outwardly a loyal citizen to his Baron, King or Emperor. Inverted, Patron is a criminal of renown with long record of arrests, but perhaps no convictions.
UnderWorld Mission:
- 7 Rods: Slay and collect the bounty on a ghoulish cult. Inverted, same but members are freaks, half human, half beasts -- "goblins right?"
Obstacles (UW):
- 10 Swords: Researching Alchemist. Scholar that has forsaken his colleagues and tries to uncover the dark forces of magic and nature. Inverted, Dark Secrets. Scholar that spends his life reading and understanding the twisted sciences and Malevolent curses that have been created through the ages. Both of these men wish to be left alone or will kill to protect their studies.
Motivation:
- 9 Coins: Openly or hidden religious purpose. Inverted, openly or hidden magical purpose.
- Magician: Patron sees opportunity now, because an overshadowing important event has brought a chance of success. Inverted, event is in another land.
Finances:
- (Inverted) 9 Cups: Fortune in art and jewelry, but limited hard coin. Inverted, though Patron has a fortune in jewelry, he will not sell any of his pieces. His finances are thus limited.
- (Inverted) World: Whatever the Patron has, becomes world scale in magnitude. If possible, add the word world into the statement of his finances. Inverted, all of the Patron's finances are in another country. Any aid Patron gives must be received during travel encounters.
Rival:
- (Inverted) Queen Cups: Chancellor of realm (person who advises a monarch on political affairs). Inverted, Chamberlain (person who manages a monarch's court and household).
