[QUOTE="reason, post: 367905, member: 6022"] Is this lunacy? Have I just been playing too many odd computer games (and watched the Swiss Family Robinson at too early an age)? Is this something that every other GM looks at and imagines hours of fun stemming from it? Will players be challenged and amused by something this odd? [b]Plot Seed: Ten Wooden Spheres[/b] Another time of Still Sky has passed. The crafters and warriors of Clan Jatu are descending from the rugged, high foothills to the Causi Meet in Naskal. Resant of the Jatu has spent twenty long cycles crafting ten great wooden throwing spheres. Each is half a span wide, and at least a body in weight. [This is 5 to 6 feet wide and about as heavy as a man]. The spheres will finally be used in contests at the coming Meet, signs in and of themselves of Jatu prowess. Resant, ever the perfectionist, has finished late. Barely four wakes remain, and Resant’s fellows in the Clan have already left for the Meet. It is a matter of pride and reputation for the Enierd crafter to catch up with the other Jatu and bring the spheres with him. Resant appeals to the PCs in absence of others who will help him. How will the PCs safely navigate ten weighty spheres down steep slopes, through narrow ravines and past deep chasms? Why are the PCs in this remote location in the first place? What of the Susyan raiding party that even now climbs toward the deserted Jatu communities? [/QUOTE]
