One evening, the PCs are invited to a noble’s home for some reason; a dinner party, to discuss business, etc. The reason is not important. The noble has a daughter who leads a fairly sheltered life, and takes quite an interest in the PCs.
The following day, the child decides to run away and follow the […]
The PCs approach a bridge over a shallow river and see a man on the middle of it, standing on the wrong side of the handrail and holding on as he stares down at the roaring waters below. A rope is tied around his neck to the handrail, and it’s obvious that he is thinking […]

The Chronastic Assembly is a secret society comprising some of the most powerful individuals in the world. They possess an artifact, a book from the end of time itself, which details how the world ends, and what lead up to it.
Armed with this knowledge, […]
The PCs come to a long, relatively thin room. At the far end they can see a door.
Shortly after they enter the room, the door they entered through slams shut. The floor in front of that door drops, revealing spinning, spike-covered drums designed to pulverize anything that falls into them.

The little […]
Woo, this week was certainly… exciting. The “donkey encounter” is actually the second or third post I ever wrote, but I disliked it so much that I’ve been pushing it back a day at a time ever since then. The only reason it got posted is because I ran out of buffer and forgot to […]
Off in the distance, the players hear dogs barking. There’s also another sound, somewhat harder to make out… a high-pitched voice with a bit of a growl to it yelping out “Help! Help!”
If the PCs investigate, they discover a lone kobold clinging for dear life from a root poking out of a rocky wall. He’s […]
The system called Blacksun, named after its unique sun which emits only ultraviolet light, is considered by many to be the center of the universe. No one’s sure why, and many think it’s directly linked to the bizarre sun, but almost every wormhole has one end in this system. As a result, it serves as […]
While traveling through a sparse forest, the players see a donkey standing in front of an apple tree, looking up at the succulent red jewels dangling above its head.
The donkey rears up on its hind legs and puts it forelegs up on the trunk of the tree, reaching up but still unable to get an […]
