Ptolus: Midwood - "The Dark Waters of Moss Pond"

[Gnome Quixote]

Heh. Reading this last bit has reminded me just how different Bufer was intended to be from how he turned out. As tricksier as he's gotten with age, it seems so wildly out of character now for him to be blindly following orders, and talking so casually about hoodwinking the rest of the party.

And it reminds me of how much I need to set an adventure inside Wit's End!

A maze of twisty little passages, all alike ...

 

[Trench]

Trust me, I feel the same way with Kat. Who is just about to be introduced I think...

 

[Emus Graymullet]

I like the character that Emus is developing into, but rereading our adventures illustrates just how inconsistent I've been with his redneck speech patterns.

Sure 'nough! Yep! Boy howdy!

Midwood players may remember that Lars Kramer and his store went unnamed until recently (the currently played adventure, in fact). I've gone back and added his name and the appropriate details to the Story Hour, as well as making the Rando of then and the Rando of now match a little better.

The Kramers and Rando will be more important in adventures to come.

I am absolutely loving your Storyhour Whizbang! I love it! This is the second storyhour thread I've subscribed to!

Think this one got run off yet?

Think this one got run off yet?

I think the next adventure, which should begin next week some time, will be the make/break point, as the campaign really finds its voice(s).

And that's the end of "Into the Woods." The next adventure, "A Meeting in the Woods," spins out of the adventurers following up on the note found in the scroll tube and trying to catch Tiberius and his fellow bandits at their rendezvous. Of course, there is no Tiberius, which means that Tock's and Renraw's plan quickly spins out of control in ways that no one (certainly including me) could ever have predicted.

 

[Tock Chandler]

Hee hee hee! Did everyone know that there was no Tiberius?

 

[Trench]

Kat actually suspected. But his reason for doing so isn't until the next adventure...
