Cult of the Fallen Star "Vigilance" (Black Hack)

The town of Vigilance is overseen by Haldemous Greyfish, a minor noble who has ceded much of his power and responsibility to others. Prisoners are brought in to serve their sentences in nearby mining pits, and iron, gemstones, and precious metals are exported. The prisoners are overseen by The Watch, a regiment of royal guards, and two independent mining companies.

The town is often enveloped in heavy, soot laden fog courtesy of the nearby "burning mountain" and the bloomeries in the South end used in smelting.

Low Town:
The adventuring party will likely spend a great deal of time in Low Town. There are fewer guards, lodging is cheap and prices in general are low compared to other sections of town.

To the left, a partial list of daytime random encounters in Low Town can be seen.  Numbers 4-9 are intentionally left blank.

Any suggestions for Low Town residents to fill these spaces?

Coming Soon

I have been working on converting all of my notes/ concepts from"Cult of the Fallen Star" for use with The Black Hack.

The adventure is geared towards first or second level characters, with the possibility of leveling up more than once, as well as the potential for greater depths to explore in a possible follow-up adventure.

I have posted about this adventure in the past, and even have another blog named after the adventure, but I am trying to keep everything in one place (here) going forward.

I will continue to post updates/ stats/ etc, as I am working on the adventure.

The Bastard (Black Hack) VI

The Bastard

((Black Hack Variant))

The Bastard quickly rose through the ranks of the guard and embraced the moniker once given to him as an insult. As the Captain of the Guard, the Bastard truly lives up to his name, and adventurers would do well to avoid him if at all possible.

The Bastard has elevated the members of the guard, once viewed as little more than thugs who lacked the intelligence to learn a trade, to one of the most feared, powerful, and privileged groups within the town.

While the town guard have no jurisdiction over the prison mines, the Bastard has the authority to sentence "lawbreakers", and many innocents have died in the mines for a perceived slight, or for a handful of coin.

Fungoid (Delver)

((Black Hack Variant))

When the star ship filled with Ta'ak and other hostile alien beings was summoned into the atmosphere, it plummeted into the Mountain now dubbed "Eversmolder". An ancient series of tunnels and chambers beneath the mountain's surface collapsed during the impact, engulfing the wreckage.

While few know the true origin of the "meteor" that pummeled the mountainside, the mountain itself has long been the stuff of horrific legends, and a constant source of fear and evil.

Many fell creatures have been drawn to the mountain, and the wreckage, and the fungoid population, once decimated by the cataclysm has begun to spread beneath the surface.

Fungoid Delvers venture far from germinating caverns, often collecting relics and oddities.
