Here is my initial run....feel free to chime in...

Phial of black lotus
Inhale - Defy Danger +INT
Character inhaling the powder will suffer significant an horrifying visions. A failing throw will result in madness which will slowly fade. A partial success gains (1) one benefit but with madness or gaining the notice of extra dimensional  being. A full success gains a two benefits without too much after-affect other than being unconscious

• Gain sprout lore into some mystic area
• Find a creature roaming the dark pathways..perhaps tie to later summoning spell.
• +1 forward for the rest of the adventure on magic rolls

I am taking my group through the Hidden Shrine. I am working on the key for the module.  Rather than post the whole thing here is the link to feel free to comment, criticize and use.

The idea is loosely based on the move THE MUMMY and the scenes based around the scarabs.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJP8XTzpOCw

My hope is to make this a very creepy situation...bugs crawling over ones body is very nasty. Rather than an attack that kills quickly I would rather have a GET THEM OFF ME! reaction from the player.


Please critique, comment, etc.



Danger: Flesh Beetles - Hoard, Mindless, Ravenous
Weapons: Bite (1pt)
Hp - 5, AC - 0
Special Quality: Swarm, Ignores armor.
--------------------------------
These beetles are about the size of a saucer. They move and attack in clusters of 5 (or whatever number you choose). Any successful attack, which isn’t an area effect, will only kill 1 beetle and reduce the overall HP by only 1. Thus for a swarm of 5 it would take five successful attacks to kill the whole mass. The beetles will swarm over a person’s body finding openings in armor to attack the flesh. Once they swarm a person, that person will take 1HP of damage regardless of armor, until they are all killed. Any partial success for a Hack and Slash will not only kill the individual beetle, but will also expose the player to the attack.
Instinct: To devour human flesh

• Instill terror

After the shipwreck they get to the island only to find an abandoned village...that has recently been terrorized by ghouls. (more fronts and a background coming)

Feel free to critique, correct and generally harass me about any part of this.







Front: The Fishing Village

Impending Doom: Whatever caused the villagers to disappear may be the death of them.

Grim Portent:

An abandoned village with animals and livestock walking around.
Blood spatters on the ground and buildings. Items overturned.
Sounds coming from inside a building...somebody moving around.
Meet a ghoul who is somewhat lucid from having finished a heavy meal.
Screams and shrieks coming from the woods.
Ghoul finds the evidence of the shipwreck
Ghoul runs around to gather a hunting party

Moves:

* A lucid (meaning he just fed) and remorseful ghoul begs the party to kill him.
* A lucid (meaning he just fed) ghoul tries to carry on a normal conversation with the party.
* The party hears somebody pleading
* A group of ghouls notice the party
* A survivor is seen running into the woods
* A survivor is seen being chased by ghouls.




Danger: Ghouls (new)
Talons d6 w/ 1 piercing
6 HP
1 Armor
Group, Close, Messy, Putrid, Gory
-----------------------------------
Having willingly eaten human flesh consecrated to the evil goddess, starts the transformation of man to ghoul. During this period the ghouls hunger requires large amounts of human flesh. During this time, there is no reasoning, there is no thinking, there is only the all-encompassing hunger. The more the ghoul eats the more lucid he becomes. While there is always the ever present hunger, the mature ghouls exercise more self-control and become more crafty in their hunt for fresh human flesh.

* Call the pack
* Talk in a lucid but confused manner
* Throw self mindlessly upon a fallen human.

Will hopefully be running a DW game in the next few weeks but the paradigm has me confused....

Lets take the EARTH ELEMENTAL in the Beta...

I understand solitary; I understand huge; and I understand Reach.... But when I get to  Forceful...what does that mean? Also, Turn the Ground into a Weapon...or even Meld to stone?

Are these given with the assumption that the DM can derive their own mechanic or am I missing something?
