And still 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!

  • Hints for second room
    • There is only one door you need to open
    • Think of what kind of question may lead you to a song these kinds of guards would know
    • Examine the words carved in the other door (DC 10 to find woolen fluff in them and then DC 15 to see small worn areas in blanket the scholar is using). No fluff found in the word knowledge.
  • Third room:
    • More rows of chained books shelves. In this room there is no light. Need to find a way to see.
      • Random book generator
      • Roll D20 to find language. 1-16 as listed here. 17 and 18 are Common. 19 and 20 are Elven.
    • There is a large ornate mirror across from the staircase. In the light it is blood red. It shows the room as it is, but the gem is at the bottom of the pedestal. The gem must be placed there and have the blood smeared on it in order to be destroyed. The duplicates can't be called forth until it's placed in the right spot. The duplicates emerge out of the mirror.
    • A large blood red gem stands on a pedestal in the center of the room
      • Rune of Confusion surrounding the pedestal: DC 15 to find, DC 15 to disable; affects all targets within 10 ft., DC 15 save or become confused for 1 hour
      • Under the gem is a note: The key is found within a royal's head, use a prick to paint me red, be aware of what you spurn, for what you give shall be returned.
        • A duplicate of whoever puts the blood down will need to be fought. Once destroyed, the gem is destroyed and the curse is lifted.
    • Door to top level and lighthouse: The door is filled with holes about the size of a dagger blade. When a dagger is inserted into a hole, it makes a specific and unique tone. You have to play the first bar of the national anthem to enter. Royal blood also opens it.
  • Lighthouse level:
    • There is no light on at the moment. It's a magical light that knows when it needs to be on so someone just stays with it to look out for ships and raise alarms if need be.
    • One guard at the lighthouse level sleeping in her bed roll. She has basic supplies with her:
      • Longsword, 10 silver, a map of the area, a bottle of ink, an ink pen, a lamp, 2 flasks of oil, 5 sheets of paper, a vial of perfume, sealing wax, and soap, studded leather.
  • Scholar
    • She's a beautiful Elven woman with long flowing blonde hair and delicate features.
    • Daeven
    • Intelligent, arrogant, loyal to queen Mileyth (knew plan, guards knew that the queen ordered them to sleep but not details)
    • Will talk down to the adventurers
    • Will be somewhat impressed though that they managed to get through everything without having been told how
    • Will be suspicious of them if they mention Durogark
    • She is willing to tell the adventurers what has happened, but only away from the guards
  • The coast is a refreshing sight after spending time in the dark. Waves splash quietly on the sandy shore, the sounds of gulls overhead give the sky life. The sweet smell of seaweed washes over you, invigorating your sense of adventure.

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 ...
