A Restless Dream Jaiyana awoke with the smell of smoke filling her nostrils. She rose quickly, breathing a sigh as she sees the smoldering remnants of her campfire from the night previous. "Only a dream... A nightmare more like." She slumped up to a seated position, rubbing sleep from her eyes. It had been one month since the Black Army decimated her village. The smell of burning huts and blood still filled her with dread every morning. "These won't be nightmares I'll easily shake I suppose. Either way, will give me more and more reason to keep pressing on... And those Rooks. Their eyes burning with Purple Flame. I've seen nothing like it before. Sorcery. It must have been.

Colostle Character Creation

Calling The first steps to creating a character for Colostle is to define your characters calling; your character's call to adventure. This defines your external reason for exploring the land of Colostle. It could be as simple as wanting to discover what is beyond the walls of your village, searching for someone, or as complex as a divine prophecy pushing your character to adventure. There is a quick table that you can use to find a random calling, though I think instead of randomly selecting a calling, I'm going to choose one. My Calling There is an army sweeping through the lands around your village. You have heard tales of their unstoppable nature; burning villages in their wake, their men clad in monstrous, spiked black armour. One night they arrive at your village; it is chaos, people screaming, running for their lives, the roofs of your people’s huts are set ablaze, lighting up the night sky. But most terrifyin...

Level 1 Skeleton: Session 3- The Foul Servant

Soul-Spear the Foul Servant GM Note: Well after a short break from the game, I went back to play and realized I was playing on a bit of hard mode! When making a check, the challenge HP is always removed equal to your result. If you do not meet the dc, the only punishment is taking damage yourself as well. Now I don't think that the last challenge was particularly hard, but for this dungeon I'm going to go with rules as written and see if that changes anything. And alas, onward my brave skeleton! Having braved the Fortress of Extreme Frustration and defeated Frost-Taker, Rufus valiant strides down the road leaving the town behind him. "AH Yes! Success! Such a sweet and delicious taste to put down ones enemies and save the world!!! Haha!" He laughs triumphantly. After several hours of walking, the smug Rufus stops in his tracks. Ahem...
