Another 15 minutes of D&D brainstorming

I have another session coming up on Friday! I don't think my party reads my blog. If you do--STOP IT!

Be sure to ask if there is anything else they want to do
Second day of travel: have badger encounter

If they decide to talk to animals, make it an animal handling check of 18 to convince them not to attack. Badgers think they're invading territory. Naeris can do with advantage

At tower, guards are asleep outside in their bedrolls

The Tower of Baile is used as a way to keep watch on the sea and guide ships home. It is also used as a storehouse of certain knowledge. Typically, there are guards, lighthouse keepers, and a scholar in residence. However, this can change so you do not have a way of knowing who is here now. The granite tower gives off a certain sense of austerity and gloom, but it is not entirely unwelcoming. Three guards lay asleep at the door.
What they have

1 has a large brass key, 1 gp
1 has a love note, 3 cp: "Nothing compares to your hands, nothing like the green-gold of your eyes. My body is filled with you for days and days. You are the mirror of the night. The violent flash of lightning. The dampness of the earth. The hollow of your armpits is my shelter. My fingers touch your blood. All my joy is to feel life spring from your flower-fountain that mine keeps to fill all the paths of my nerves which are yours."
1 has shocking grasp spell scroll, 3 sp,

Rune of Confusion on the door entrance: DC 15 to find, DC 15 to disable; affects all targets within 10 ft., DC 10 save or become confused for 1 hour

First room

The opening room has bear granite walls and feels cooler than expected. There is a sole window that looks out onto the sea. It is a calming effect. It must bring those who spend their time here some peace. Right now, however, the room about it sounds to be shaking and roaring.
Rune of Fear in front of granite door: DC 20 to find, DC 15 to disable; affects all targets within 10 ft., DC 11 save or become frightened for 30 minutes
Puzzle

There's a large granite door in the center of the room, casting a shadow. The wooden door leading to the next room or stairwell is locked. If you examine the door in the center, there is no lock, however, the shadow of the door has a lock.
Solution: Use a key (any key will work here) to cast a shadow, and use the key's shadow to unlock the shadow door. The door to the next room will then unlock. One of the guards has the key (DC 15 to find). Royal blood also opens the door.

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
