As I have no campaign running at the moment, let’s assume a small town at the start of Springtime… The local temple is readying three of its priests to travel in three separate directions. Two will carry small parcels, while the third will transport a scroll case. The contents are known only to...

So, Who Spied On Ostramagarus? Who Were His Rivals? Who Betrayed Him? Some Ideas... A dragon or two. Mayhap a dragon directed its human servants to use Ostra's hideaways for its own purposes. Perhaps these hideaways were enhanced with yet more monsters teleported in by the dragon. Or maybe a...

What Was Old Ostra Up To? Ostramagarus the merchant has retired to Waymoot, in Cormyr. 1. How did he make his coins? By anticipating shortages of goods and being first to market to end the shortage. Later in his merchant career he began to engineer short-term shortages of goods, then swooped...

My first character died by spear, too.

"Voices that speak suddenly out of empty air to herald the awakening of magic. For example: “Ah, more intruders. Let the deaths begin.”" I am stealing this.

No doubt because Mystra has an interest in the Mage Royals. I believe it was Mystra who granted Vangey the power to conjure up a seat made of force by a simple act of will. (This ability revealed in "Beyond The High Road" if I remember correctly.) That way he could be made to sit and learn...

In one of the Mages and Sages interviews featuring Brian Cortijo, I heard a bit about the burghers of Waymoot all dying at the same time in the wake of the time of troubles--the idea being they were all secretly assassins. This led me to wonder about the kind, and the extent, of influence the...

These rules came about in 1188 DR, yes? Plenty of time for Royal blood to quietly travel into the wider Realms. In response to one of my questions, Ed replied that Cormyr has experimented more than once with stasis magic. Who's to say they didn't lose (or rather, forget) a royal or two along...

Thank you old gaming friends for spending a moment away from work and family life to reach out to me from far away and to show me all the new things you are doing in the world of gaming. The old connections are renewed this way and I appreciate it. It feels good.

More ideas for 2nd level adventures in Waymoot: 1. Discovering and walking through another portal in The Old Man. 2. Tracking the hydra rampage. (I know this is for 2nd level. Doesn't mean you can't use higher CR creatures.) 3. Murder in Waymoot. 4. Discover 10,000 gp -- then deal with all...
