Finishing up Lectern’s: Fall Semester · 7:00pm Apr 25th, 2022
I really do need to finish the Ogres & Oubliettes game. As usual, the trouble I’m having is finding a narrative line. The only practicable thing to do is to string together a succession of vignettes, similar to the first installment, which means coming up with those vignettes. Spoilers ahoy!
It will, of course, start in medias res with poor hapless Bergud—who is guiding the PCs not with a map, but with verbal instructions from his memories of what his deceased father told him—somehow getting himself accidentally reduced to ash or otherwise rendered very, very dead. Possibly he was acting as the group’s healer, lending added spin to the situation. This blindsides everyone, including or especially Sci-Twi. From there the group bumbles its way to the goal, but I still don’t have a clear idea what that might be.
Anecdotes I can adapt, and specific proposals for the chapter’s arc, are welcome! I already have a couple of possibilities for the former, but not a lot for the latter other than some vague suggestions in the original post way back when.
