Scale & Shadow: Part 26, The Hungry King

The golden age is long over. 

Whether by cruel kings, savage beasts, or unwise wizards wielding forgotten magics too great to be contained–dark times are upon us. The only hope for a comfortable life is to delve into what ruins remain to plunder the treasures of your ancestors to sell to the greedy and the foolish. 

Be warned, as if flies to a candle, the worst monsters are drawn to the brightest lights and no one is left to save you in the darkness. 

The heroes of legend have died long ago. All that remains is:

Scale & Shadow

Previously:

The showdown with the Reptile God, Explictica Defilus, is interrupted by her newest mate—a 20 foot tall beast of raw power and rage! Will the would-be heroes be able to stop this monstrosity form the mists of distant Chult, or will their story end by his sword-sized fangs?

The village of Orlane is dying.

Once a small and thriving community, Orlane has become a maze of locked doors and frightened faces. Strangers are shunned, trade has withered. Rumors flourish, growing wilder with each retelling. Terrified peasants flee their homes, abandoning their farms with no explanation. Others simply disappear. . .

No one seems to know the cause of the decay -- why are there no clues? Who skulks through the twisted shadows of the night? Who or what is behind the doom that has overtaken the village of Orlane?

Scale & Shadow is an actual play of Dungeon World, a game by Sage LaTorra and Adam Koebel with some of the suppliamental material from Perilous Wilds by Lampblack & Brimstone and Flags by Rob Donoghue. For this episode, we used a modified version of “the labyrinth move” from the Gauntlet. Read about it here.
We drew inspiration from Against the Cult of the Reptile God (1982) by Douglas Niles and The Village of Hommlet (1979) by Gary Gygax
