Episode 34: The Looted Tomb - Adventure Hook

October 07, 2019

Today's Hook: The tomb of a local hero has been looted but no one knows what was taken. submitted by: Craig Butler

In this episode we toy with four ideas. There is a lich desperate to find its lost phylactery in the guts of a dead thief, a bone fragment stolen from a hero's body with nefarious plans for resurrection and the theft of a powerful apparatus which can sow destruction across the countryside.  

Ultimately, though, we focused on the shattered life of a lowly yeoman who was enchanted to serve a powerful warrior by that most infamous of magic items - The Deck of many Things! The hero now lies dead and with magic beginning to unravel can Yeoman Joe rebuild not only his lost life but the fractured remains of his mind.  

Banter Topic:  We rewind to Episode 33 and add another layer to the Kids on Bikes

Notes:

Turns out there actually is a "Kids on Bike" rpg damnit.  Here's a link: Kids on Bikes
