A Tavern North of Meredune

 Another excellent tavern randomly rolled up using the Hubris tavern tables!  I'll refer you back to this post that shows two earlier taverns for the Ox--->Tiger Campaign I rolled up using Hubris.  

The second job of the children turned to stone ended up leading the game in the direction of investigating that.  You'll find the Solo Grinder Campaign actual play write-ups over on my Substack;)

A Tale of Two Hubris Taverns

 

Welcome to The Dead Fox Tavern & Inn

A Tale of Two Hubris Taverns

I finally got around to dipping into HUBRIS A World of Visceral Adventure by 

Mike Evans (I’ve had it on my shelf for awhile).  Several months ago, while 

preparing for the next session of my LotFP campaign which would be taking 

place in the city of Oberstdorf, I knew I would need one or more taverns or 

inns for the events that might be unfolding.  For whatever reason, I pulled 

 HUBRIS off my shelf and flipped through it, and voila! Chapter 6: GM Tools 

and Tables contained a Tavern and Inn Generator.  Perfect!  I bookmarked that 

section and followed through on other aspects of my game prep.

 

During session #115 of my campaign, the PC Fecus was lying to a magistrate 

about his current lodgings in the city and when the adventure party decided to 

visit it and start covering their tracks, I used the Tavern and Inn Generator to

 create The Dead Fox Tavern & Inn on the spot.

 

Session #116 required another tavern, this time in the town of Muntburg, and 

again I pulled out Hubris and rolled up the details of The Broken Twig Tavern.

 

My players and I enjoyed the results rolled for both locations, so I thought I 

would share them with you.  

 

If the result is highlighted yellow, it became known or relevant during the game 

session.  In some cases I’ve embellished or added to the result rolled on the 

table.  The Broken Twig was named before I decided to use the Hubris tables, 

so I didn’t need to roll on that particular table.

Ox ---> Tiger --->Rabbit --->Dragon Campaign Session #117

 

Session 117-  Wrapping Up in Muntburg, Re-entering Dwimmermount

2/25/2024

• Geoph is developing some suspicions regarding the Termaxians after 

  talking with Bobila.

• Bobila decides she must go back to work to relieve young Belgra.

• “George and Sharon” return to The Broken Twig with Bobila and sit 

  down at the feast table and engage Helgot the Junk Collector in 

  conversation about Dwimmermount.  Bobila buys them 2 bottles of 

  red wine to thank them for healing whatever had afflicted her.

• Helgot’s rumors as follows:

• The water in Dwimmermount is toxic.

• Every door with a lock is also trapped and can only be safely 

  bypassed by someone bearing a special Thulian seal.

• Dwimmermount was once one of the largest sources of raw 

  azoth in the entire world.

• An entire brood of dragons nests in Dwimmermount.

• Anyone who dies within the walls of Dwimmermount can never 

  be restored to life by any means.

• As “George and Sharon” say their goodbyes to Bobila, she learns they 

  plan to meet Proctor Louys Herint the next morning.  She warns them 

  that he is a racist jerk and that he might give “George” a difficult time 

  (Geoph/George is a gnome).

• They check into The Green Dragon Inn and set watches; 

  Geoph 1st watch and Shelby 2nd watch.  The night is mostly uneventful, 

  although Geoph hears the inn’s other occupant walk past their door and 

  pause before continuing down the hallway.

• Waking up early and checking out of the inn, they head over to the 

  Chapel of Tycho and meet Exorcist Emelisse.  She is quite relaxed 

  and welcoming while answering their questions.  She has one 

  Dwimmermount rumor:

• A secret back entrance leads to the first level.

• At the Temple of St. George, they meet Proctor Louys Herint, who 

  lives up to his racist and dogmatic reputation.

• “George and Shelby” thank Corporal Pieru for allowing them to enter 

  Muntburg, and leave the town to go back to the Golden Barge and fill 

  in Team Rams regarding the information they gathered.  Tim and Fecus 

  decide it is time to re-enter Dwimmermount.

• As Lachada pilots the GB towards Dwimmermount, the GB begins to 

  warn her of a force barrier that might cause the Barge problems if she 

  tries to pass through it.  Tim and Fecus have her find an appropriate 

  spot to park, and take a team on foot the rest of the way to the 

  megadungeon.

• After entering, Tim casts Wizard Lock on the entrance doors.  The team 

  is directed to pile Room #1 statues in front of the entrance doors.

• South of the statue of the god Nirval, they encounter a Gelatinous Cube.

• The kill the Gelatinous Cube and Fecus claims the rusty sword that had 

  been encased within it.

• Rams enter the Room #56 and Tim casts Wizard Lock on the entrance door.  

  Fecus instructs the team to write taunting and derogatory signs to leave in 

  the room.

• They use the Termaxian Passkey to call the elevator and everybody gets 

  on the platform.  Up or down?  We’ll all find out next session;-)
