You are not a hero.
In fact, you are little more than
humble villagers in the small, isolated hamlet of Outway. It has always been a
desperately poor life, but lately, fear has been a constant companion. Inhuman
howls can be heard through the benighted forests. Traffic from other
settlements trickled to a stop. Abductions began. Everyone knew it was coming
from the old keep atop the hill. Your nightmares are full of it.
The time has come. You are the last
able-bodied men and women in the village, scrabbling together what little you
have to make one last, desperate stand against the darkness that threatens to
consume you all.
In time, you may become an
adventurer; cutpurse, reaver, slayer, a tight-lipped warlock hoarding dead
secrets. Glory, won with sword and spell. Gold, caked in the blood of the weak,
the vanquished. Power, wrested from the demonic and the dark. There are
treasures to be won, deep beneath.
But you are not a hero.
Sharpen your wits. Hold your
pitchforks tight. Ascend the hill and bring peace back to your village, or die
in the attempt.

Right now you can make any
preparations you might have. None of you know what lies up there, only rumors
and superstitious lore. It is up to you to separate the truth from the
ramblings of drunks and old wives tales.
RUMORS:
·
3:19am
Nothing good can come of disturbing
the evil ruins. You’ll only unleash the horror beneath the hill.
·
3:22am
The great treasure vault of a lost
dynasty remains hidden beneath the keep.
·
3:30am
The keep was ruled by chaos lords.
Even after their defeat, their corpses were never discovered.
·
3:32am
Beware the well! It has swallowed
many a poor soul.
·
3:34am
A sleeping dragon lurks beneath the
keep. Accept his quest and he will grant you a wish.
·
6:20am
I'm not sure how to proceed. I mean
are we all together in a group right now?
I'll be periodically updating this blog as a reference to this campaign so
far. It seems that there's some formatting weirdness, so if you guys prefer, I
can upload the word document to the blog (it's a bit cleaner).http://davidsdanddarchive.blogspot.com/

Walter Trilby, Locksmith, got into the industry originally because he
thought it would be a draw for chicks, but it turns out when you"re kind
of shit at your craft and don't have much in the way of a personality, the
chicks don't exactly come a-flocking. Lately Walter's been thinking thay a
change of scenery is what he needs, since APPARENTLY all the broads in this
town are dumb bitches who only want jerk adventurers. Like, fine, you want a
big hulking jerk adventurer? Then that's what I'll be. A jerk. Er, adventurer.
And maybe once I get out of this HICK TOWN I'll find some REAL LADIES WHO ACT
CLASSY AND RESPECTABLE. Walter's combat advantages and disadvantages are the same: he's not very good at his craft or with his tools which means he uses them wrongly but sometimes to great effect or hilarity; and he likes jumping into and escalating conflict without forethought.

Michael Praytor, Farmer, is a recently divorced gay father of two. His estranged
wife took everything but Michael's prize goat, Polka, in the proceedings and
where she is right now isn't important, what's important is that Michael now
has a second chance to live a bold and honest life, secure in his own identity!
Too bad he is such a forgettable person on the whole. He is average in just
about every respect and most people tend to forget him as soon as they're no
longer looking at him. Like imagine the color gray but as a person. Currently
Michael is living with Polka in his turnip cart in the parking lot of the local
bazaar.Michael's averageness and dismissability will prove to be an asset in sneaker more secretive proceedings.

Summer B, healer, is. . . actually, Summer doesn't really know anything
about herself. She just sort of. . . woke up. . . here. Near the smoldering
ruins of what looks like. . . a castle? Who is she? Where is she? Better question, WHAT is she?
The whereabouts of Summer A are currently unknown.

If it looks like we're gonna be charging something out of town, Nino thinks
it's not a terrible idea to literally bring torches and pitchforks. She's gonna
suggest that we go look for torches and pitchforks in town before we depart.

Beatable has a pitchfork and suggests we all look in the barn at hee
family's dilapidated farm for more.Sorry autocorrect

Elgar would like a pitchfork since his shears and razor are really only good
for super close combat and he throws them like a bitch. But will sheepishly
consent if someone else has nothing else to protect themselvesHe meanwhile notes that there may be some more razors/blades in the barbershop, as well as barbicide (poison) though he's not sure what good that would do

Sister just honks approvingly at PolkaWah wah I guess that makes sense.
In that case Elgar shrugs and is as useless as possible. Anyone need that pitchfork?

Allyn has a pitchfork as well, but he's kind of old. I mean, he's a farmer,
so by no means feeble, but he's 67.O'Syrus has a trowel, and Kae'la has a staff. I'm not sure how helpful they'll be, lol.
·
3/9,
6:59pm
Well Elgar will relent the second pitchfork to one of them and the other can
at least grab a torch, ja?
·
3/9,

Adjudicate pitchforks as necessary. You are right to treat them as valuable
resources, because with 1d8, it has the highest damage die of the starting
weapons
·

O'Syrus accepts Elgar's pitchfork with humility, and promises to keep it
safe. (People don't tend to give things to him, even temporarily).It's not that he's untrustworthy, he's just always looked down on because of his trade. (Secretly he thinks most people are rotten, and couldn't handle his job, nor could they live without him)

You search around, but to no avail. Anything even remotely weapon shaped has
already been claimed by other adventurers. You could appeal to them, or you
could rely on the more morbid prospect of " wealth by attrition"

To expediate this, does anyone have an extra dagger/knife/ blade of some
kind for a poor, ill equipped orphan?
·

·

It... well, it functions as a dagger, but is absolutely still a trowel.
