Ok, tomorrow's ACKS session will be missing the character with the artifact that is the focus of the current main plot. But the PCs are all back at their home base, so I'm thinking there's a huge New Years party going on when they get back. I need a list of stuff that can happen when an border fort full of soldiers and adventurers really decides to tie one on.
The fort is fully provisioned with merchants ripping off the adventurers, taverns, temples, wizards, and is occasionally under siege by giants and other humanoids.
Carouse rolls all around!
ReplyDeleteA group of burly soldiers wearing poufy dresses and tiaras barge into the pub. They order a lot of drinks and chug them down while chanting the names of the gods of their pantheon. After downing three pints each in as many minutes they stagger out into the street looking for the next stop on their epic pub crawl. One of the drunken soldiers exits the toilets 10 minutes later wondering where his mates have gone. Some wizards in the corner with mana to burn decide to have some fun with the confused soldier.
ReplyDeleteA group of clerics sits in the corner arguing about the gods. Their argument is muffled by the sound of the halflng band but an occasional "Fuck you Dave! It's pronounced De-FEN-istration!" drifts above the sound of the hubbub. The argument is friendly but after a few more rounds one of them stands up and announces "Right! Let's solve this once and for all. I'll need a two chickens and some string."
Two dwarfs are making out in the corner. They are very enthusiastic. A group of dwarves sits near them shouting encouragement. It seems to be some form of competition.
An elf teleports in naked. The city guard are in the street outside holding now-empty clothes. He crawls under a table and whispers "hide me!".
A warforged working behind the bar is mixing cocktails and has attracted a crowd.
A group of psionicists are slumped in the corner. They have powder around their lips and nostrils and their eyes glow blue. Occasionally one of them twitches and giggles. Several beers float nearby.
A group of adventurers are having a slow-motion tavern brawl, making exaggerated gestures and wielding imaginary furniture. It is all in fun but the stoneborn part-giant in the corner looks confused and keeps flinching whenever an imaginary chair is thrown his way. His mate thinks it is hilarious.
In the street outside a bulette goes charging after a dozen naked women who have painted themselves blue. Army officers run after the women. The bulette has their trousers in it's mouth.

I will be using several of those ASH LAW!
ReplyDeleteIt's also possible that for some combat that:
a necromancer has accidentally raised some zombies.
a statue that was actually a "flesh to stone"d monster is turned back to flesh.
suddenly: werewolves!
And maybe everyone is so drunk because of the ritual being performed at the temple of the pleasure god.
Tet offensive?
ReplyDeleteOh, James LaManna that's a good one...
