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! I'm also just going to copy and paste my last blog post here so I can have all of the second room information in the same place.

  • Second room
    • Here is where there are dormitories.
      • 10 sleep guards. 15 sets of basic gear in here. Longsword (only 10), 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 (only 10).
      • Scholar's things: 10 gold, a map of the area, 5 bottles of ink, 2 ink pens, a lamp, 5 flasks of oil, 50 sheets of paper, 2 vials of perfume, sealing wax, and soap
      • Locked room. 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.
    • Sleeping scholar on a plush red velvet chaise. She's a beautiful Elven woman with long flowing blonde hair and delicate features. She is positioned comfortably on the chaise and covered with a warm woolen blanket.
      • Has key to the bookshelves on her person.
      • Holding book on genealogy of the royal line written in Elven. It makes mention of some bastard lines but does not deign to go into detail
      • Has hidden book written in infernal of prophecies. One of which foretells a great civil war based on blood. There is other writing discussing if this has happened already, but the book's author believes it hasn't
    • Two guards sitting comfortably in plush red velvet chairs. They too have blankets draped over them.
    • Shelves and shelves of books written in all languages. Many books have fallen off the shelves but are held in order by chains. This is common practice in a library to chain books for protection but it does seem a bit odd here as there would only be the visiting scholar. The room is filled with the smell of leather, paper and ink. There are no windows in this room. Just walls covered with books. 
    • In the center of the room, there's a marble pedestal with a cute little rabbit sculpture on it. It does nothing, but if the characters ever all look away from it at once (like if they're leaving), it roars and shakes the room. It is roaring until one of them looks at it. Royal blood will calm it as will them holding it (because they have royal blood)
      • While it is roaring and shaking the room, characters have disadvantage on all checks etc. because they are distracted
    • Door to the next room: it says: "Show me only knowledge" in large letters. It has no lock or handle on it. Large enough that each letter is roughly the size of their hand. In order to open it, they have to cover up the other words. It also opens with royal blood.
  • Third room:
    • More rows of chained books shelves. In this room there is no light.
    • A large red gem smeared with blood is at the center of the room

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 ...
