Threshold: What Happens Next? (Patreon)
Content
Our last few adventures have all taken place over a very short period of time, thanks to a serious of cliffhangers. Between the Agran murders, investigating the Chamber of Skulls, the arrival of Breggan, and he minotaurs pursuing her, it's been a busy 48 hours in Threshold. But now we actually have time to let a few weeks pass. I'll have a follow-up poll that considers the downtime activity of the characters and if there's any major developments for the town itself, but first I want to get an idea of what you'd like to see as the theme of the next adventure. Here's a few ways things could go.
A Party at Soldorak Hall. Honoria Soldorak loves a grand celebration, and she's decided to honor "the Saviors of Threshold." This would focus on social interaction, though you never know who might show up at the ball!
Pursuing the Cult. During the melee with the minotaurs, the adventurers spotted a deputy using a molded stone blade, much like the cultists in the mountains. With the transfer of power in the mountains, the cult may have lost much of its power and motivation; you could potentially report this to Sheriff Constable and leave it to him. On the other hand, if you don't like leaving loose ends, we could make it the subject of the adventure.
Ghost Story. 'Tis the season for spooky tales, and there's surely a restless spirit or two in Threshold...
Seeker Settlers. Another opportunity to get a little seasonal flavor. How does the town react when a family devoted to the Blood of Vol arrive in town? Do these newcomers have skeletons in their closet—or out working their fields?
Bring Home The Byeshk. Honoria Soldorak owns the byeshk mines adjacent to town. These are thought to be played out, and are infested with cockatrices and other dangerous creatures. But Honoria Soldorak thinks that there's still promise there—and she wants Ink to help her get the mines up and running.
Keep in mind that the choice of story doesn't mean the others don't or won't happen. If you don't deal with the cult, Sheriff Constable will take care of it. Honoria WILL hold a party; the question is whether it's the subject of a session, or something that occurs in downtime. Honoria wants to get the mine running, but it doesn't have to happen now. Beyond that, if two options are closely matched, I might combine them; there could easily be a restless spirit in the abandoned mines or haunting Soldorak Hall. So, what do you want to focus on in the next session?
Thanks as always for your support!
