Here are these sessions:
Part 1
Part 2
Finally I got a chance to go on with the adventures of Dragonfly, using 9Q guidelines and Runeuest engine. Random idea generators are mixed through game....
Q1 What looming
hostility inherent within the setting unexpectedly comes into conflict with the
heroic motivation, threatening to worsen over time?
Be the GM first: Lightning /Meteor the rumor spreads that a
meteor stone was found in the prairie. Around it, every night a flight of fire
tongues is seen dancing at dusk.
Be the PC next: if they are alive, fire tongues are some
king of tribe. And they probably do ritual dance around the stone, so hoping
that he can learn something, Dragonfly decides to investigate. Can he find
somebody willing to go with him there?
(unlikely). No.
Be the GM once more:
Haw far is the rumored location of the stone from
Dragonfly’s home? 6 days.
2 days of travel uneventful. Encounter on third day. What
kind of encounter: assist the mundane. Dragonfly noticed a farmer’s wagon with
vegetables broken on the road. He tries to help repair it, but he can’t. He
offers to run to the farmer’s village to get help, while farmer keeps eye on
the wagon. It is easy task, so soon Dragonfly returns with the help. Villagers
keep him from dinner, so he loses one day. But he is fed and equipped with food
for a trip.
Another day passes without events, and then on day 5 hero
runs into another encounter. Recruit love. New NPC (or PC?). Dependable home maker.
Convey wealth. Interact riddles. Review dreams.
At one moment, Dragonfly noticed another person going
parallel to him. Two travelers soon started approaching each other, and
Dragonfly noticed that it is a girl of his age, obviously also a lay member of
Lhankor Mhy cult. When they finally met, she suddenly stopped, her face
overwhelmed with surprise.
I, I…. I know you… Actualy I don’t but…. I have seen you in my dreams…. Our
destinies are bounded together…. I, I…..
The girl’s name is Tigerina. She is also traveling to
investigate rumors about meteor stone, with motivation (carry outside) of
finding knowledge about transferring objects and knowledge from this to
different worlds. She has high hopes that meteor stone can help her with that.
Tigerina is a townswoman, her riches are counted to 162L,
caries a dagger, and has no armor.
They decided to continue together. The rest of the trip to
the rumored location of meteor stone is uneventful.
Q2 What unusual event
occurs soon afterwards?
Be the GM first: pursuit. Mistrust Pleasures.
As Dragonfly and Tigerina entered the area of prairie where
the stone is said to be, a mob of women appeared. There is 9 of them, they are
armed with improvised weapons, and even from a far one can see crazed look upon
their faces. Mob started approaching heroes, with obvious killing attention.
Be the player next: Heroes start running. They outrun 6
mobsters, but 3 were persistent. As Tigerina started falling behind, Dragonfly
decided to turn and fight.
Mobsters attacks first. How many will go for Tigerina? None.
All go for Dragonfly!
After some fight, and Dragonfly getting some damage soaked
by armor, heroes find themselves with one mobster dead and 2 lying on the ground,
unable to stand.
Be the GM once more: But mad woman crawl to
continue the fight. It was obvious that their madness can’t be cured. Dragonfly
and Tigerina had to kill them quickly, not wanting these woman to be eaten alive
by animals or maybe even their mad sisters.
Treasure: heroes find 57L on bodies. Dragonfly takes them,
Tigerina says she do not need this kind of blood money.
Q3. What elements of
the results of Q1 and Q2 suddenly get twisted together in a surprising
manner, increasing the danger to the heroic motivation?
Be the GM first: Mistrust Allies. Betrayal/Combat
Tigerina suddenly attacks Dragonfly. Her face represents the
same madness mobster woman had!
