Captain Easy is on a new adventure. His plot hook came to him from a mystery lady who slipped it in his pocket. Was that the pilfer skill of a 3+ level Mysteryman, or a skill everyone should have? I could see femme fatales being statted as Mysterymen...
This strikes me as a fun trap to even use on Heroes. At a dead end the Heroes find a hatch they can open. They pull open the hatch and out pops a boxing glove to smack them in the face. One person takes 1d6 damage, and everyone gets a good laugh.
I kind of like this idea for a twist on the cowboy vs. horse rustlers scenario -- horse rustlers transporting via river barges. I also like that it takes place on a real river, as opposed to some generic locale.
With such panoramic vistas it would pay to use photos as visual aids.
I don't really want to keep discussing this story in
Ben Webster's Page, but I keep thinking of more things to say. "Snakes and centipedes and lizards and toads" is a wandering encounter chart for deserts -- which would be challenging if these were giant animals.
The missing link uses the magic word "Tamaruntch" to make Mary Jane not scared. A Remove Fear spell? Is the missing link a Magic-User?
Lost cities are a tricky business. How would planes not spot a brightly-colored city in the middle of a desert, even with cliffs around it. All I can say for certain is that the missing link is casting a Knock spell. He's at least 3rd level!
On this page the missing link even admits to using magic.
The gates cannot be magically opened from the inside -- an interesting bit of hideout dressing.
Shrapnel rifle? I'm not sure what that is. A shotgun? Just a rifle shooting shrapnel bullets?
This gag filler is called
Hold Everything. I feel the same way about hockey.
