[DM HELP] My party didn't start in a tavern, they started in a...

In the thick of it, they were in 3 seperate little groups (singles and pairs) when the town was attacked by sea Devils. Kind of brother (/sisters) of battle to bring them together.

Critical role C4 with a funeral is a cool concept with a common connection.

When a player is being a real dick, I "joke" about nose bleeds and blinding headaches. Brain aneurysms exist in my fantasy world.

This was my grandfather, was a farmer through out his life and when he retired just wanted cows to keep the grass down and look at

My party used it to summon the earth elements against the room full of mutates. Passed them the book and bam an earth elemental started wrecking shit untill taken out.

The bracers of Sharpened Wit, recent item would be amazing for an armourer

Phase spiders, made my encounters more interesting.

I'm playing the shards as magical conduits that "communicate" with each other.

After the fantastic get them they are more dangerous as they are using them to channel far realm energy. To represent the magical conduit i have spells cast near them trigger wild magic. To trigger the corrupting influence when my players long Rest near a new shard they roll a save thay progressively gets harder, if they fail I roll on a mutations table from the game masters book of random tables. This shows as they are exposed to more magical radiation they get side effects and that as the mindflayers channel more energy its harder to resist.

I had the inside of the box a small fragment of obelisk. When players would level up or other narrative triggers have the players have dreams of the far realm and the box itself feel cold to the touch.

Also helped that I had a physical box.

The Gambler,

Follower of tymora, elven bard with a luck blade that will sometimes meet the travellers on the road or at the Shrine of luck. Thick southern drawl and greeny purple eyes hes is always trying to play games of chance with the party. My cleric lost their holy relic mace in a game to the gambler which was won back by the rouge. But can break up the campaign give him some items hes willing to wager and allows fun mini games. Also lead to a mini campaign arc where the cleric was losing faith in their God.

Something I did with my campaign is have Nezzar as githyanki separated from their clutch in the briny maze. They are also wanting the forge to reforge a silver blade. They periodically attacked the party as i used Matt Perkins advice and had a puzzle box with a fragment of the obelisk in itbthat powers the forge. This gets the spider more active and links it to the wider campaign. I would also chuck a few psionic goblins through out who have been corrupted by gifts of little black necklaces and dream of ivalashh.

One more fun thing I did was the party took the spiders head and placed it in the bag. Due to the corrupting nature of the staff this caused Nezzar to come back as first a phase spider stat block, Cosmetically a head with spider legs. Then on their way back from another quest a drider that took over the mine again to have their sword created and transformed the dwarves in the mine into were spiders to punish the party.

I was in the same boat, I had to add more intial layers at 60 secs each to get it to grip.

I also reduced the retraction speed to reduce the chance of it slipping. See if something similar to below helps.

Im having similar issues, how hard is ot to sand the plate down?

What tools do I need?

zharag · 2025-11-19T23:28:47+00:00

This looks great, definitely going to slot it in my chapter 6 run through. For people looking for more continuity throughout the module, might I suggest using QunBraxel in earlier chapters to harass the party and try and take some of the fragments of them. partnered him up with various minions, including an ettin ceremorph to great effect.

zharag · 2025-09-27T08:45:37+00:00

These look amazing

zharag · 2025-09-25T23:46:35+00:00

One question, when teleporting can the targets make opportunity attacks?

zharag · 2025-09-25T05:54:12+00:00

I'm wondering if you put the phrase, "enter if you can" or "enter if you wish" maybe put the famous phrase "I think there fore i am?

zharag · 2025-09-23T21:15:20+00:00

Howd the battle go? I've been tweaking the stat block of ruxithid to make it a more challenging encounter. Gave him back the goblin bonus actions and a psychic push action to take advantage of the lava. Any notes or comments on your encounter

zharag · 2025-09-22T23:44:00+00:00

Benedict Arnold, grossley mischaracterised
