Recovered Treatments

Kicked off FB and favce scanned by the zuckborg. Apparently, they have been hitting people all year like this. Worded realy badly. Jumped from me typing to me appealing something and getting scanned. Ive had acc longer than 16 years sigh but possibly part of age varification cramping adult internet here or current politics. And back again and a friend missing just ghost tags on comedey scene pix. Reactivated my Tumblr and might use that more. Found some stuff i forgot i wrote. Was for a historic rpg but im not edgelordy enough and too woke. Probably for the best. 

Past the halfway mark, reading Dolmen Wood as bedtime reading.

The Dread of Wolf Lake
England 1630s Wiltshire County

Wolfbury Village is a small farming village with a church, blacksmith, a tavern, a patch of forest, a small lake and local manour house. The last wolf was killed 80 years ago. The new local priest has tried to be tolerant of maypoles and other local traditions but he is aware locals led by the blacksmith have been sacrificing silver and swords to the lake which he is less keen on. He will pay any suitable travellers passing through 30sp to spy on the sacrifices to identify them and believes their is a pile of silver and swords cast in the shallow lake bottom he hints might be of value.

Four monoliths each compass point of the lake are used to locate the place where goods are thrown in each full moon. Once troublemakers were bound and gagged and thrown in with rocks tied to them as a sacrifice here but now it is rare. Only occasionally does this happen now but it did happen to the last unpopular priest. The current cult practice of sacrifice is a remnant of a local religion from pre roman times.

On a full moon at the point where the monoliths line up a silvery disc is visible about twenty foot under water. Anything touching it feels gravity reverse and they surface in a thick syrupy lake inside the belly of an alien god. Inside the misty great flesh filled chasm is lit by bioluminescant bulbs hanging from the ceiling. Degenerate mutants living in flesh caves perform obscene rites and hoard ancient sacrifices dining of the gods flesh and any who don't fit in like that recent priest. The god eats the souls of any who die within and must be manipulated to open a portal back. Care must be taken to prevent the god entering the world and laying waste to all human life for miles.

Wolfbury Hall home of Lord Seton is the local manour. He is uninterested in visiting adventurers unless there is property damage or harm to persons or gossip about trouble makers. With former land and forests being declassified as royal there has been riots and trouble in the area. Coal miner riots and some troubles with puritans trying to stop maypole dancing has caused some problems also. Grain shipments have been hijacked by the poor. Any sign of problems and Lord Seton and his servants will come on horse to give troublemakers a thrashing and drive them off. Building workers cottages and fencing local land has made him unpopular. His lordship is quite willing to trump up charges of witchcraft if needed to burn any troublemakers.

Id use some of my Xor setting tables and mutations for this and some tables to generate horrible villages with secrets and encounters on the road in the era.

The Murder Islands
Australia 1629

Inspired partly by the later wreck of the Batavia 1628 where some passengers attempted to take the ship and flee to a new life somewhere but was wrecked off the coast of Australia. Stranded a reign of bloody murder ensued. Jeronimus Cornelisz had dreams of starting a kingdom and stranded soldiers on board under a pretext elsewhere. With a dedicated band of murderous young men, Cornelisz began to systematically kill anyone he believed would be a problem to his reign of terror, or a burden on their limited resources. The mutineers became intoxicated with killing, and no one could stop them. They needed only the smallest of excuses to drown, bash, strangle or stab to death any of their victims, including women and children. (Wikepedia)

I would like to write an adventure inspired by these events where the party are part of a rescue expedition, finding survivors split into murderous factions of cannibals and wizard cultists who will try and take their ship. Players would be involved in power struggle to rescue the surviving innocents and eliminate or capture the mutineers.

I would also include tables to generate more wrecks, castaways and strange islands.
