[QUOTE="Remedy, post: 7824284, member: 7015632"] SOME spoilers for ghosts of saltmarsh Yeah, exactly that. I have a sizeable group of 7 players in my ghosts of saltmarsh campaign. After an almost-TPK to giant weasels during first encounter and burning the "haunted" house, and framing a random scoundrel for that, they got right into one of Gellan's extravagant feasts for everyone because he's just that chill. And maybe also because he bought a cargo worth of goods from pirates that raided an exotic merchant tradeship. Among all the exotic fruits and snacks stockpiled on the tables along the street for townsfolk to stuff themselves, was every shape and size you could guess. Giant watermelon-like blueberry? check. Spiky watery contraption with stock inside? check. A bush that in itself is a fruit with some umami flavour? CHECK. Obviously, OBVIOUSLY my clever players conducted a ritual of detect magic in one of the now-empty alleyways, and started to SEARCH something MAGICAL in the FRUITS and CHIPS. Well, I do not have a heart of stone and I did throw them a bone. Well, maybe a banana. A banana with runes that seemingly grew on it. And they found out that it radiates transmutation magic field. So, they took it from the pile, like adventurers do and continued with their adventurous lives.
