[3rd] Ye Olde Inn Quest Design Competition 2024

[Stig]

Maybe put this up on Facebook?

I still love the aegis inn winner quest, where the heroes go to an island and trawl through a jungle meeting a fimir clan.

Love the Monastery of Madness - great idea for a potion!

Halls of Illusion

"Champions of the Realm, your help is being called on by the Emperor directly! One of Zargon's trickiest generals has come out of the shadows. Little is known of him, he is spoken of only by the title The Illusionist. An unsuspecting peasant recently stumbled upon his hidden doorway. You must act fast and slay this foe before he hides his entrance once again. Traverse The Illusionist's halls carefully, my friends, for not all is as it seems. He is very skilled at his craft. He has created entire armies, as well as structures, on the battle field from thin air. Vanquish this powerful general and escape the stairway. I will await your return!"

Hey folks, here's my entry, Twins of Death.
Please let me know if you find any typos so I can fix it.

"Centuries ago the twins Arruth and Lencatol were brave warriors fighting for the Empire. Sadly they were defeated during a battle against an army of Chaos led by Thoukstomast Grougray, a necromancer serving Morcar. He trapped the souls of the fallen twins with a spell, turning their corpse into Death Warriors and placed them to guard his lair.
For too long time their successors have had returning nightmares showing the suffering souls of the two brothers asking for help. I only recently was aknowledged of their struggling. Loretome revealed that a disciple of Thoukstomast, the sorceress Andruga, is operating in her master's lair to aknowledge more of his dark magic. You must enter into her lair and find a way to stop this madness. Be heedful my friend, as she is able to turn your magic against you!"

Sure thing buddy- PM with suggestions sent. Looks amazing!

<EDIT!> It was brought to my attention that, among a few other small issues, I was putting too heavy of a burden on Zargons who don't have RPG experience as far as crafting narrative and figuring out which bits to share out loud. New file attached.

I didn't have the free time I was expecting, but still I got something done. Here's mine after effectively pulling an all-nighter.

The Night (Un)Life of Laphan

For fifty years the village of Laphan has thrived off the mining of semi-precious gemstones. The prosperity and calm of the settlement reached an abrupt end nearly one month ago, marked by the death of its founder and patriarch of its preeminent family. Earlich Phandol
passed unexpectedly, in spite of his age, under the dark of the moon on the eve of his hundred and first birthday. In the days right after Earlich's funeral the mines upon which he established the village suddenly and inexplicably played out. Far worse, the village also
began to suffer nightly incursions of undead. There have been several disappearances, and the residents are increasingly terrified to step foot outdoors after dark. They have managed to gather 240 gold coins worth of mining product to offer as a reward for anyone who can
put an end to the undead disturbances. The only clue they can offer toward investigation is that a few of the walking departed have been seen emerging from the cemetery at the edge of the village. They also note that the activity seems to be growing progressively with the
waning of the moon. You, brave heroes, are urged to hasten to their aid as the new moon arrives in but three nights

Thank you all for the great entries, clearly we were destined for great quality as opposed to great quantity

Please bear with me as I'm experiencing a slight technical hitch as it appears that the "Create Poll" tab doesn't appear for this topic (or this forum/sub-forum), normal service will resume shortly...

I've never created a poll so don't know for certain, but maybe it had to be created when the topic was first posted? I've seen people create polls with blank placeholders maybe because of that. If that is true then just link to another post for the poll?

I got a chuckle from this spin. Do you work in PR?

Good thought but I've just gone onto a "first post" of mine on a topic in a different forum and that works just fine.

In light of these teething issues I'll extend the "submission closed and voting starts" date out by 2 weeks to the 2nd March, hopefully by then it'll be sorted one way or the other. This also gives a small opportunity for a new entry or two, and for those that have already made a submission to produced a revised/updated version if they wish to!

[lestodante]

I did a try and was able to add the poll. I can remove it eventually.
Please do not start voting until 2nd of March, there is still time for new entries!
