Different Style of Archery
I found this really interesting and thought I’d share. While I don’t think it would change the Volley move it certainly will change how I play Rangers and other bow using fighters. Very interesting stuff.
Glass Golem
Glass Golem
(Solitary, Construct, Devious)
Jagged Fists (d8, close, hand)
4HP, 1 Armor
Instinct: Attack intruders with suicidal fury
What kind of a mad man makes a golem out of glass? The same kind that hollows the golem out and fills it with highly toxic gas, that’s who! Often made of black onyx to hide the surprise inside, glass golems are often used by wizards as traps or to defend something in a small enclosed area. It’s said the Archamge Zillia Vexx made several that were filled with odorless, colorless gas that was explosive and always kept them near braziers. Sadly that technique was lost when her tower burned to the ground after a small earthquake.
-Shatter and fill the room with deadly gas

The Ice Mines of Kharzak-Thrune
The Ice Mines of Kharzak-Thrune
The mines have no gate or fence. The guards don’t even bother to lock the cells. The Mountain itself is the prison. The cold, the snow, the wyverns, they’re the prison. Ask any old timer, the best guess it’s 5 to 7 days to even get to the treeline, you’d freeze to death before that. Anyone asking to help with an escape is probably just looking to eat you when the food runs out. At least if you’re useful in the mines, the Dwarves will keep you feed. Live out the remainder of your days in this frozen hell hole or die escaping. The choice is yours.
What did you do to get in The Mines?
For the sneaky character: What useful item have you kept secreted on your person?
For the combative character: What is always nearby that can be used as a weapon in a pinch?
For the magical character: What magical ore is sometimes unearthed in the mine and how could it be useful?
For the spiritual character: What unquiet spirits are in the mines/on the mountain?
Which NPC has asked to join them in an escape attempt?
What flaw in the system or schedule can be exploited during an escape attempt?

The Ridden

A star streaks across the sky, landing in a distant field. As you investigate the townsfolk seem nice enough, but every now and then you’ll catch them looking at you with their head cocked to one side, staring at you like you are some kind of bug. Even the cows and horses seem “off”.
They are all to eager to take you to where the star landed. They have something to show you. Something they say will change your lives. Then their eyes go white and fill with worms and the screaming starts…
Dangers: The Riders
Impulse: To infect & spread
Grim Portents:
A falling star lands by a distant village.
Woodland creatures become infected.
A trapper is infected, brings his family to see the meteor.
The village is taken over, next they hunt down travelers.
The Riders are loose in the world.
Cast:
The Riders:
The Riders are parasitic worms that infect any living host the size of a dog or larger (smaller organisms do not have enough space for the colony to grow). They have access to the hosts memory to a limited degree but close friends of anyone infected might notice gaps in recent memories or odd behavior. When a settlement is completely converted it can quickly descend into absurdity since the infected animals are considered equals with infected people.
Any infected creature has it’s original move set plus the move “Vomit parasitic worms” added and it’s intelligence is at least equal to your average human. Outside of a host they are very vulnerable and can not live for long. As of now there is no known way to cleanse the worms without killing the host.
