Hooked on Gnomes Part 7

A Collection of Gnome Encounters
You'll Not Soon Forget

Oh my! More gnomes. More encounters. More gnome encounters! You know the routine. Check these out. Enjoy them.. Use them as side quests or as full story arcs.

This is the seventh set of ten encounters. Check out my previous posts for the earlier hooks.



The Encounters (61-70)

61. A pair of gnome miners claims to have struck a rich deposit of gemstones but cannot extract it because they accidentally released a monster that has long been imprisoned deep inside the earth and it now stalks the mine's passages.

 62. A small, nut-shaped vehicle that has obviously taken damage is anchored just off shore. A pair of gnomes in sailor clothes pull broken clockwork out of a device mounted to the back of the vehicle, arguing as they do so. 

 63. The elder of a gnome clan is in search of a few good adventurers to figure out who swapped the clan's most prized gem with a high-quality fake.

 64. Residents of an isolated hamlet are being kidnapped by gnome clerics and sacrificed deep underground in a temple devoted to Urdlen, the gnome god of evil thieves, assassins, and fighters.

 65. A gnome in orange and pink robes approaches a member of the party and invites them to join a very secret meeting of a very exclusive secret society. There will be cake and beer.

 66. The party is swept up into a brawl between a group of dwarves and a group of gnomes. A large collection of spectators watches as they enjoy pints of beer being served from a pair of gigantic kegs. 
Yeah 

 67. The party finds a large pile of gems. Most contain the ghostly image of a gnome in the act of pleading, searching, raging, or crying. A sign written in Gnomish reads, "Do not touch unless you want a big surprise." Nearby is what appears to be the opening to an underground lair.

 68. A hyper gnome in jester clothes offers to give the party a trinket (which might or might not be magical) in exchange for all of the cheese and chicken weathers they can gather in one hour.

 69. A feral gnome shadows the party whenever they travel through a specific area. He or she uses illusions and clever traps to disrupt and redirect their journey.

 70. Three adorable gnome children beg the party to help them find their pet. They've been hearing strange noises in the area and are afraid for its safety.

Open Sky Encounters

Image
In Session 12 of my Dungeons and Dragons home-brew campaign Skyfell the player characters acquired an airship. I've already written up quite a few rules regarding airships and the nature of air travel in Skyfell (see my Airships post ). That was good enough to explain a bit about ships for earlier sessions. I'm assuming, however, that the characters will be sailing the open skies more frequently now. That's the sort of freedom owning an airship grants. There is, of course, a potential for encountering new locales and new creatures as they travel. So, I put together this set of rules for random encounters in the Open Skies. Like all the material regarding Skyfell on this blog, I've posted this for my players. These rules will likely change as we use them in the campaign. That said, feel free to use and adapt for your own campaign. Also, if you’re interested, I have assembled a couple playlists of session music specifically for sailing the open skies. There is one su

5e Conversion: Fallout Nuka-Cola

  5e Conversion: Fallout's Nuka-Cola As there appears to be no end to my obsession with the Appalachia wasteland, I of course, must provide another conversion for  Fallout 76  into the  Dungeons and Dragons  setting. This time around, I want to tackle that most refreshing of novelty beverages, Nuka-Cola.  In case you don't know, the  Fallout  setting has a ubiquitous soda called Nuka-Cola that comes in convenient, rocket-shaped bottles. The standard variety is simply a refreshing way to hydrate and restore yourself while out and about braving the dangers of the wasteland. There are, however, several other specialty flavors that provide a wide range of other benefits. As with the chems, I feel that in a Dungeons and Dragons setting, Nuka-Cola would be a kind of potion, perhaps developed by some enterprising gnome as a way to differentiate his or her magical offerings from all the other potions that clutter up the adventuring market. I mean, who else but a gnome would think to u

5e Conversion : The Grinch

5e: The Grinch The holiday season is upon us and once again my Dungeons and Dragons mind turns to Christmas with an unreasoning need to mash up the two. To that end, I bring you The Grinch stat block (as I imagine it). This stat block is based on the 2000 live-action movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey. For roleplaying tips, watch the movie. Let me know if you use this stat block and how it worked out. Merry Christmas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on one of these fine social media platforms: Instagram : @hokumsean Spotify : @hokumsean Twitch : @hokumsean Twitter : @hokumsean Tumblr  @hokumsean Stop by my YouTube channel " Ovens and Dragons " and partake in the exciting world of cooking for gamers.
