How long is a short rest? 10 minutes? Is it something that could happen while moving between rooms?Last edited November 24, 2024 2:44 pm

Technically, I am not sure the concept of a short rest exists in Shadowdark.Nov 25, 2024 12:01 am

I'm breaking every room/major action into 10 minute chunks to keep time keeping easy on my end, so yes it would take 10 minutes to rest and talk, but not between rooms. Moving between rooms time has been rolled into the exploring of a room as it doesn't take more than 1-2 minutes to move between rooms.

So it seems everyone is about back together. Gregory and Tibor are ascending to the Tower Lounge which overlooks the Raven, and the others are descending to that same room from above. Yay everyone is back together!Nov 25, 2024 11:23 am
Varos, Clarence, and Anton descend the stone stairs from the beating heart chamber, which is still splurting blood with every throb. Little rivers of blood flow down the steps, coating their already blood-splatteted bodies. They eventually reach the Tower Lounge overlooking the Raven's nest.
At the same time, Gregory and Tibor return. Gregory is for some reason cradling a teenage boy in his arms.
You look at each other, clearly having stories to tell each other. Frac is nowhere to be seen.
Then there is a clanging of metal from a darkened corner of the room. Something rolls noisily into the faint light of the room. Its a crimson helmet decorated with golden angel wings on the sides. It rolls to a stop between the your two groups.

"By Madeera' bountiful teets! You are alive!" the young cleric exclaims with genuine excitement. Rapidly, however, he notices the adolescent boy and his brows arch in an unspoken question. When the crimson helm stops its movement, Anton approached it and picked it up.

"How in the world did you two survive that fall? And who is this?" Varos will look to the helmet "Be careful Anton."

Seeing the blood covering the others, Tibor licks his lips involuntarily. He almost asks about it but then notices that the goblin is nowhere to be seen and decides to let his question die on his tongue.
"I don't know how we survived. We ended up outside at the front gate. Not sure where to start about everything else. But we did manage to find another treasure." Tibor shows the group the goblet. "I'm not sure what this child is. We found it as a wee babe and it... uh he is aging quite rapidly it appears."As the helmet rolls to a stop, Tibor turns to look into the dark area where the helmet came from, holding up his candle.

It might be worth doing a round of stories to knock down the SL. I feel like we are getting close but having to roll DC19 on things is pretty rough.Last edited November 26, 2024 5:12 am

"Madeera be praised, indeed! You are safe! Though, not all of you!" Gregory notes. Did the other one now stalk your halls? Was he reborn as Gregory and Tibor had been.
"I thought the child might buy us passage out through the front gate. But it is not to be so. Still, he may come along, if that is his wish. He cannot speak…" the wizard explains quickly.
"The bird demands riches, yes? Do you carry some with you?"

So if I calculated correctly, there are 4 treasures: the sun sword, golden candelabra, gold and ruby rose, and the goblet. So you need one more treasure. And Tibor and Gregory did just leave a wedding reception that had a table of presents... Or you will have to find a treasure in a new, unexplored room. Or one of you could sacrifice yourselves and be trapped in the castle forever. The choice is yours!load next
