Notes
[1]: These manifestations of Chaos emerge from the Lower Catacombs only at night. Treat this result as "no encounter" during the daytime.
[2]: Cursed remnants of the Sword Sworn Company whom Captain Foulque has cowed into his service. They do not mix with the mercenaries of the Company of the Quarrel.
[3]: Mercenary members of the Mighty Peak clan in the employ of Austorga.
[4]: Members of the Company of the Quarrel.
I like how "normal" it feels. Too many adventures are obsessed with being weird from the get-go and forget the dangers of the natural world (and our fellow humans).
ReplyDeleteThat was my goal. There's plenty of weirdness in Urheim, but it's all below the surface and not immediately apparent.
Deletel am really tired of the OSR being wierd for the sack of wierd. This is great thanks. Just started reading over all this. I followwed you what 15 plus years ago. Nice to see you active again, you got me back into the hobby.
