Dungeon23: Greystone - Day 20

Real life!  No!

Regular life has gotten slightly busier this week, so I've had to miss a few days and catch up. As I've said a few times, I'm not going to beat myself up over this. The goal is to keep moving forward and perfect daily progress isn't required.

Fortunately, I'm caught up again as of now!

So, to catch up here are the rooms I've done since my last post:

1-18 Dress Shop
This is the remains of what was once a luxurious dress shop. It served the high end clientele of this part of the city with garments of silk and satin. Now it belongs to the goblins. This is one of two rooms controlled by the Bloodfeather Goblins, who are based in the house from week 1. They have a bit of an outpost here and are busily making plans to push further into Kobold territory.

In this room, they've found several partially preserved dresses and the goblins here have taken to wearing them. This actually raises their profile in the band considerably. The leader of this outpost (Gult) is actually contemplating a coup against Boss Zrot from back in week 1. (That's not written down in the image below, but will show up tomorrow).

His little group here is busy assembling a ramshackle contraption designed to hurl flaming flasks of oil. Theoretically it is to be used in raids against the Kobolds, but Gult is contemplating how it could be used to take control of the house.

In the attached workroom, there are some sewing supplies and two bolts fine silk fabric.

1-19 Middle Class Home
This was once a very nice home. It still features a table, chairs and a large bed. Kobolds have converted it into a place of worship however. The most devout of their sect live and worship in this place, while simultaneously guarding the stairs down to the lower level. They are led by a shaman. He uses an elaborate jeweled chalice in his rites and is never without it.

1-20 Middle Class Home
This is also what remains of a formerly comfortable home. Both this room and 1-15B were parts of the same dwelling. This room features a beautiful tile floor, now marred with cracks and accumulated filth & debris. In each corner of the room is a large flower pot, now empty. The room also features elaborate crown molding. It is otherwise empty.

Preparing for Dungeon23, Part 3: Resources

Like I mentioned yesterday , today's post is going to be all about resources that I'm going to use to help me on my Dungeon23 project. First up will be this post from Sean McCoy, first laying out the idea for Dungeon23. Specifically, I'm going to draw inspiration from his list of one-word prompts to inspire each week's work. I'll repeat the list here just for reference: Ancient Death Sunken Love Empire Heavy Rural Darkness Bloom Rust Noise Childhood Time Excess Decay City Factory Flood Sleep Cold Ash Touch Meat Solitude Growth Greed Luck Fall Pit Chaos Laughter Smoke Forgotten Library Ocean Song Roots Bones Hangman Blood Prophet Idol Door Light Stars Bridge Mask Cut Sacrifice Incense Rise Gold OK, so those are freaking great. Each word feels like it has so much to offer for inspiration! So many of them seem to fit together thematically as well.  Like "Bloom" (birth or rebirth) followed by "Rust" (decay); or "Greed" followed by "Lu...

Dungeon23: Greystone - Day 4

Today, I learned more about the goblins inhabiting this section of the dungeon. I roughed them out as a faction using the Four Blanks Method from GFC's DND YouTube Channel. You should definitely check out that channel. It is small, but mighty. So, here's what we know about these goblins- Faction: Bloodfeather Goblins Objective: Increased territory Obstacle: Kobolds (TBD) Method: Raids/Warfare This is a discrete band of goblins, who hold some territory here in the dungeon, but would like more. We already know from a previous day that they actually moved here from further down in the dungeon. If they're relatively recent arrivals here, perhaps there are more of them somewhere, thus the need for more space. The chief obstacle to their expansion is kobolds. I'd already had it in the back of my mind that there would be kobolds in the dungeon, but know I know for sure. There must be a population of them somewhere and I assume that the two territories abut one another. The go...

Dungeon23: Greystone - Day 10

SANCTUARY!! Sorry, just channeling my inner Quasimodo there. Anyway, names for different parts of churches vary a lot, but one of the names for the large gathering area which includes the altar is the sanctuary . I think it's a wonderful word, so for this temple, that's definitely what it's called! Yesterday, I mentioned a tiny ritual which needs to be done before entering the sanctuary. Any person entering the sanctuary must pour a dipper of water from the font in 1-8 over their head first. If they do this, that person is "anointed" for one day. Anyone entering the sanctuary who is not anointed is, instead, "reproached". They have the disfavor of the ancient deity upon them. The mechanical effect of being "reproached" is that they have disadvantage on all attack rolls. Disadvantage, of course, is a rule from 5th edition D&D. It's not RAW for Old School Essentials or any 20th century D&D that I'm aware of.  However, I think it...
