Scenario: The Tireless Archer
  • Here is my second scenario for Old School Hack!

    My OSH resource page is here. http://fictivefantasies.wordpress.com/old-school-hack-resources/

    The scenario will have a post next Monday, but in the meantime I put it up on the resource page so you could look at it here: http://fictivefantasies.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/osh-the-tireless-archer.pdf

    This scenario is a site-based adventure, very different from"The Road to Baffram" (which is an escort mission.)

    After 1-3 establishing encounters (that can be skipped or retooled to fit into an ongoing game) the characters go by dirigible to a mysterious tomb in the mountains, guarded by monsters and shrouded by a ceaseless storm that keeps everyone but the most determined mountain climbers out. The structure should accommodate a wide variety of player choices and play styles and still have useful preparation--almost every encounter is a single page of text, and all the maps are at the back.

    This adventure includes the Scholar template (complete with adventuring motives) as well as some magic weaponry and a variety of exciting monsters. (Bandits! Venomous crows! Baboons with wings! Carnivorous apes! A frost giant! Weird elves! Animated statues! Phasing ice spiders! And, of course, goblins.)

    I am interested to know how you all think I did striking a balance between "fantasy game we could take seriously" and "anything can happen here!"

    Enjoy the clash with the Tireless Archer! I welcome your reviews.
  • This is a flexible module. I used half the elements, and it flowed nicely in a 3 hour session. The report is here: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/old-school-hack-the-fictive-way/adventure-log/the-tireless-archer
