Our hero

After good food and drink, the town is breathless at Seth's tales of daring.  He and his posse find trouble wherever they go, but always somehow come out safe and smelling like roses.  Adastra goes to bed with its spirits lifted.

What exactly are you getting Adastra into?

Sometimes you need something not to be found in Adastra -- like a lost journal.  The only way to retrieve such a thing is to assemble an expedition of intrepid souls to brave the danger.  You will provision them, then take on the point of view of the party as they delve ever close to their goal.

All expeditions have at least one required party member.  Adding more people to the party will generally reduce the party's Stealth but increase its Combat.  Adding special NPCs may also open other opportunities.  Successful actions bring the party closer to its goal.

You will send the party off with at least ten Rations, which you make from Food.  Almost all actions the party can take, whether successful or not, consume Rations.  If they run out of Rations, they must come back to Adastra with the mission unfinished.

Fight the creature yourself

Attack: A River-Demon!

A hideous man-sized demon has emerged from the River!  It took those on the shore by surprise, and there are a few light casualties.  Those remaining await your order to deploy.

With the militia behind you, of course.  You're not a fool.  But if you can strike a few good blows, it should be great for morale.

Pride goeth before getting beaten down by a river-demon

You lead the charge, leaping heroically at the demon, and... that's about all you remember.  Later, in the infirmary, you learn from a sympathetic Aspic that the demon walloped you to the ground with its tongue, of all things, and you landed badly.  Still, the militia evidently forced the demon to retreat, and when you return to your duties you think you see a few citizens looking at you with a certain respect.

A couple of hunters haul in an eladrin wearing, unusually, camouflage rather than her kind's usual crimson red.  They have bound her hands and gagged her, but she stares at you with hate in her eyes.  "Found this one, we did," says one of the hunters.  "And get this: she was lookin' for us.  Knew we were here."

Your Visibility is getting dangerously high.

Put her to death

She has seen Adastra.  She's too dangerous to leave alive.

Blindfold her, disorient her, and release her

If she ever finds her way back to her people, hopefully she won't be able to say much of use.  Hopefully.

Keep her in prison

Provisioning a prisoner is something you'd rather not have to do, but at least it wouldn't be an act of war.

Word from Seth

The town wizard, Seth Mase, has sent a message back by magic.  He is still in the field, trying to save the world from what the Puncture brought into it.  He doesn't know when he'll be back.  He wants you to convey his reassurances to the people of Adastra.

Share the message with everyone

A modest challenge

Many in town will be heartened to know that Seth is well.  Others are angry with him for leaving at a time like this.  You'll have to proceed carefully.

Everyone likes parties.  No one with a full stomach is likely to get up in arms about Seth's absence.

The demon goes into a frenzy at the sight of so many warm bodies rushing to meet it in battle, and a pair of fighters are unconscious before anyone lands a hit.

A very chancy challenge

Patch up Adastra's food stores here.

It's not a good sign when the hunters return before sundown.  They only bear a few morsels.  Rhody is certain they were being followed.  "By angels, maybe?" she says uncertainly.  "They stayed well back of us, so I don't know.  We lost them, but it took hours."

Rhody's Level 3 failed in a challenge! Try again and you may have better luck...

3 change points, 1 more needed to reach level 4.

Rhody's Level has not changed from 3 because it's higher than 2.

You've gained 1 x Food (new total 21).

Take sparring practice with Aspic

A low-risk challenge

"Fights usually last under five seconds, so if you've listened to this whole sentence, you've already lost."

Aspic used to move in shady circles, and it shows.  His fighting style is dirty and practical, and that's how he teaches you to fight, too.  Amazingly, you keep up with him, and you leave with your head spinning -- and not only because it got boxed one too many times.

Target-rich environment

Deploy the militia

A very chancy challenge

The demon goes into a frenzy at the sight of so many warm bodies rushing to meet it in battle, and a pair of fighters are unconscious before anyone lands a hit.  The conclusion is foregone -- there are too many Adastrans for the demon to win -- but the battle is grueling and costly.  In the end, all the town can do is force the demon into retreat.  At least they know what mistakes not to make again.

Word from Seth

The town wizard, Seth Mase, has sent a message back by magic.  He is still in the field, trying to save the world from what the Puncture brought into it.  He doesn't know when he'll be back.  He wants you to convey his reassurances to the people of Adastra.

Many in town will be heartened to know that Seth is well.  Others are angry with him for leaving at a time like this.  You'll have to proceed carefully.

Adastra is soon abuzz with the tales in Seth's message.  Seth and his posse are like guardian angels to the town, providing a certain amount of counterweight against the other kind of angel. Morale is notably higher by nightfall.

A clear glimpse

Duck down and around your assailaint

A very modest challenge

Dagger dodging

It happens again: you're walking through the Tomb when you hear footsteps behind you.  By now you know those footsteps well.

Fortunately, you and your bodyguard have already devised a plan.  You're to duck down and around your assailant, forcing them to spin around so that your bodyguard can see their face.  You have only moments.

Afterwards, your bodyguard's face is white.  "It didn't have a face," he tells you once he calms down.  "It just stabbed at you and then vanished.
 About all I can tell you is that I've never seen clothes like those before."  He shares what he saw, and you take mental notes.  Once you have enough information, you're determined to find someone who can help make sense of it.

Word from Seth

The town wizard, Seth Mase, has sent a message back by magic.  He is still in the field, trying to save the world from what the Puncture brought into it.  He doesn't know when he'll be back.  He wants you to convey his reassurances to the people of Adastra.

Share the message with everyone

A modest challenge

Many in town will be heartened to know that Seth is well.  Others are angry with him for leaving at a time like this.  You'll have to proceed carefully.

Everyone likes parties.  No one with a full stomach is likely to get up in arms about Seth's absence.

Our hero

After good food and drink, the town is breathless at Seth's tales of daring.  He and his posse find trouble wherever they go, but always somehow come out safe and smelling like roses.  Adastra goes to bed with its spirits lifted.

It's not a good sign when the hunters return before sundown.  They only bear a few morsels.  Rhody is certain they were being followed.  "By angels, maybe?" she says uncertainly.  "They stayed well back of us, so I don't know.  We lost them, but it took hours."

The rats are unimpressed by your frantic yelling and stomping.  They finish their meal and saunter leisurely towards their various exits.  You survey the damage and wince.  You <i>really</i> need to talk to the apothecary about poison.

A hideous man-sized demon has emerged from the River!  It took those on the shore by surprise, and there are a few light casualties.  Those remaining await your order to deploy.

A modest challenge

With the militia behind you, of course.  You're not a fool.  But if you can strike a few good blows, it should be great for morale.


Target-rich environment

Deploy the militia

A very chancy challenge

The demon goes into a frenzy at the sight of so many warm bodies rushing to meet it in battle, and a pair of fighters are unconscious before anyone lands a hit.  The conclusion is foregone -- there are too many Adastrans for the demon to win -- but the battle is grueling and costly.  In the end, all the town can do is force the demon into retreat.  At least they know what mistakes not to make again.
