Canonfire! Chronicles Issue 1 - Le Monde de Greyhawk

heroes like you. The giants may be gone, but there will no doubt be
others who come for us. You are young and strong, treasure these
days, they will be over before you realize it. If you ever find yourself
before Owen, tell him I finally obeyed him. My time is near and I
want what little time I have left to be in peace. May all the gods and
goddesses watch over you. I am in your debt.” With that, the old
woman slowly climbs aboard the cart. Grodouf slowly starts walking
after it, then stops and turns to you, “Thank you. Grodouf not forget
brave heroes,” he says at just above a whisper, and follows the cart
out ofsight.
If the party did not kill any of the Mob members, go to
Conclusion A. Otherwise, go to Conclusion B:
CONCLUSION A — FULL SUCCESS
Llion is dead and Trevdynson’s traitorous acts have become
apparent. The townspeople of Sodersmith may never trust you
again, but Trevdynson can never return to Geoff. A few weeks later
a note comes to you. It is from Fiona and Sam telling you where to
find her. She is safe in the Hornwood forest. Fiona has completed
work on your reward - you can claim it at anytime. She also sends
thanks for all you have done for her.
If the letters are found, continue by reading the following.
Now you must decide who, if anyone, needs to know about the
contents of the letters. A simple journey to Hochoch and the Knights
of the Watch may be in order. The letters can be turned over to the
local Geoff officials. Perhaps a trip to Gran March where they can
be turned over to those authorities. Keoland is a bit distant, but the
letters could be given to them instead. A trip to the capital will
ensure that they find their way into Grand Duke Owen’s hands. Or
others may find them useful. Of course you can always keep them to
yourselves.
CONCLUSION B — HORROR STORIES
With the death of their leaders, the mob has gone to find justice.
You have, unfortunately, been accused of murdering innocent
townspeople. The Knights of the Watch are looking for you. In the
event they catch you, it is unclear what the repercussions may be. A
few weeks later a note comes to you. It is from Fiona and Sam
telling you where to find her. She is safe in the Hornwood forest.
Fiona has completed work on your reward - you can claim it at
anytime. She also sends thanks for all you have done for her. (If the
letters are found, continue by reading the following.) Now you must
decide whom if anyone needs to know about the contents of the
letters. A simple journey to Hochoch and the Knights of the Watch
may be in order. The letters can be turned over to the local Geoff
officials. Perhaps a trip to Gran March where they can be turned
over to those authorities. Keoland is a bit distant, but the letters
could be given to them instead. A trip to the capital will ensure that
they find their way into Grand Duke Owen’s hands. Or others may
find them useful. Of course, you can always keep them to yourselves.
PATH B
PARADE TO BATTLE
Use this encounter if the players decide to leave at dawn to attack
the witch.
The next morning after a hearty breakfast the townspeople gather
around the main street to see you off. A few of the barmaids even
throw flowers out for you. Llion stands near the door to the mayor’s
home, but Trevdynson is noticeably absent. Llion approaches you
and shakes your hands. “I wish you the best my friends. May Kord
grant you victory. I will be here, but Trevdynson is again afraid for
his life. I cannot go with you. Tonight we will feast with tales ofyour
victory.” With that Llion rushes off to his post by the door to
Trevdynson’s residence.
ENCOUNTER FOUR B
SUMMONED HELP
Samual has informed Fiona of the Party’s intentions to kill her.
Fearful for her son’s life she has used her last remaining resource,
scrolls she penned for the battle with the giants. She has
summoned monsters to face the party. They are extended versions
of the spells outlined in the appendix.
Judge's Note: For simplicity, keep track of complete rounds and all
summoned monster spells will end on the completion of round 7.
Read the following:
As you walk down the path shown on the map, you suddenly
notice several animals before you. They block your path and,
without warning, they charge toward you.
Judge’s Note: Descriptions of the animals can be found in the
Appendix. Use these descriptions when describing the animals that
are attacking. Do not disclose the fact that the animals are celestial
versions of the animals unless a successful check is made. You may
ask for the knowledge rolls or let the party ask to make them at
your discretion.
