Sup everyone!

I know we’re really trying to nail everything down as the month comes to a close but I have a few questions that are especially pertinent to my resolution center.

I’m a bit conflicted on the whole, the player = Key bit. So I would assume that Allistair has been planning to summon the Eldritch being for a while, and I just find it a bit hard to believe that his entire plan hinges on a particular person being at the town and tracking down Wirt. Like they could have pick-pocketed anyone right?

I was thinking a few modifications could really make the adventure more cohesive. What if Wirt and Greg are part of the sacrifice to summon the eldritch being, and Alistair and his wife make up the remaining half of the ritual. Then, a designated player (instead of being a KEY), steps into the ritual and absorbs the chants; half transforming them into a tentacled monstrosity!

They get to become REALLY strong, BUT have to flip a coin to see which side of their personality wins out. Do they attack Allistair or his/her party mates?

Thoughts? If we’re attached to the Key concept, I would love it if someone could clarify the details/reasoning a little bit more. I would be happy to modify my idea :slight_smile:

Copied and pasted from the discussion in the discord group: the reason i went with the key, gate, and guardian idea was because that is one of the nicknames for Yog-Sothoth, the impending doom of the adventure. My reasoning behind making the key one of the players is that it fits with the lovecraftian theme of the enemies, namely the unknown or hidden heritage of a protagonist. also, this is supposed to be a recurring, unstoppable dance through the aeons. my initial vision was that it would pay homage to how Link ALWAYS ends up fighting Ganon as the hero of time saves the world. so this wouldnt just be a chance meeting, since Yog Sothoth is an elder god that lives beyond time and space he would be pulling the strings for this set up to happen time and time again, until finally all the pieces aligned, and he would be made material in this mortal realm.
this “dance of fates” recurring throughout history is our excuse for being able to dress the adventure in any setting, that way players can do this in ghost mountain, warpshell, alfheim, hell… they could even do it in 5e settings like eberon or forgotten realms, call of cthulu, or anything else if they really felt like it.

I like this, I want this. Perhaps we end this on a pretty obvious:“this will happen again another time” note?


#118

We’re just waiting for a rewrite of section 5 (the skill check) and any stats for the final boss fight. I’ve shared a pdf of the adventure on discord.


#124

I’m so excited for this, I hope I get some time to play it before Halloween. Between this, Monster of the Week and Ten Candles my buddies and I will have all sorts of spooky adventures before the month is out.


#125

Is there still a link floating around out there for this one?
