Solo Rambling Roleplay

Aleric continues up the Mage's tower in search of the calling stones. But more of the Mage's defenses lie in wait between him and his goal! 5. Unknow n As Aleric continues on heading towards the Orrery that Stone-Gaze had warned him of. But before that he knew he would face something unknown. A short spiraling stairwell let him out at an intersection with dispersing hallways. He gave a quick glance to either side, before deciding the likely way forward was straight ahead. A large double door stood in front of him. He slowly pushed the doors open slightly before peeking into the room. GM Note: Time to find out about the next room that Aleric will have to pass. This time instead of rolling on the Exploration tables in the solo Dragonbane handbook, I’m going to roll on the inspiration tables to get an idea of what awaits Aleric. This table includes 3 d20 rolls for an Action, Attribute, and thing. Roll: Inspiration table Action - 8; ...

Aleric sets off on what will likely be the most challenging journey he's faced so far. A test of his wits and willpower will push him to his limits!   The winding stairwell is familiar to Aleric at this point. He knows that the landing will eject him out into the depths of the Breach and his destination will be different from the last two journeys. It still takes him aback slightly as he exits out into a large opening at the base of a massive tower. Clouds swirl around the tower, obfuscating the sky above, making it seem as if he has exited out into an open plain with the tower at its heart. “Well… At least I don’t have to go searching for this damned tower. I hope this pendant that Stone-Gaze gave me is worth its weight…” With a bit more trepidation than his previous ventures, Aleric steps forward and heads towards the looming tower. 1. The Moon Door As Aleric approaches the base of the tower, he eyes the massive double doors that appear to be the ent...

Aleric has returned with the shard of the Worldbreaker! Now to see what his next mission below will be... Aleric pulls his pack from his back and eagerly pulls the recovered chunk of the Worldbreaker Shard out to present to Stone-Gaze. “The cultists didn’t even know what was coming. Their leader, Arioch, has been slain and they were none the wiser. Oh I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when they discovered their leader in a pool of his blood.” Aleric laughs, holding the shard aloft for Stone-Gaze to inspect. “Well done Aleric, this will hamstring the cults plans, whatever they may have been.” Stone-Gaze takes the shard from Aleric to inspect, nodding his head as he holds the chunk of metal close to his eye. “Refresh yourself and I will make a feast for this evening. A job well done deserves a hearty meal.” With that Aleric nods, retreating to his room and laying his pack on the floor. He takes a moment to wash and refresh himself from the hard battles ...

With the spider defeated, Aleric begins the final assault on the cultist stronghold. 5. Shadowed Courtyard Aleric continues his journey down the heavily trodden path leading away from the guarded bridge. The day is wearing on him by now, and he feels the pulsing of the wound from the spider mandibles in his shoulder. He slows his pace, feeling that he’s far enough away from the crossing to examine his situation. “I’m going to need to rest before I face Arioch. I can’t imagine he’ll willingly give up this shard of the Worldbreaker spear that his little band of cultists has acquired. Before I continue, I’d best take a moment to rest. The final leg is just ahead. Would be a shame to fail my mission now.” With that he finds a small alcove where he can tuck away and tend to his wounds for a bit. Pulling some rations from his pack along with some bandages to dress his wound, he takes a moment to rest.   GM Note: Aleric will take a stretch...
