D20 Fantasy - Kill All Druids

A response to Deus Ex Parabola's excellent essay over on Numbers Aren't Real. 

Calder Moore

Ever wonder why nature cultists forbidden from wearing metal go adventuring for fistfuls of gold? It's because of these assholes. The Honourable Guild of Respected Agrimancers. The Druid Mafia.

A cartel of weather wizards, shapeshifters, lay priests and lumpen proles who seek a total stranglehold over agricultural production. Starving entire cities by calling down droughts and flashfloods, installing awakened animal monarchs amicable to their interests, unleashing fungal blights and selling the cure - nothing is beyond the pale for these greenthumbed mafiosos. 

But say you're sick of it. The economic blockades. The price controls. The disappearances late at night. The gangland executions. The government that won't do anything to stop them. What could you do? 

The Bloody Marches - Session Three

Five adventurers arrayed themselves on the SINKING TOWER's third floor, ready to descend to the penultimate layer of the dungeoncrawl.

• Dewyd the Pious, Friar 2 of Beer & Bread.
• Godwin the Green, Fighter 3.
• Heiwae Mann, Thief 4.
• Robin, Cleric 2 of Phantom Limb.
• Burned Leaves, Elf 1 (retainer of Godwin).

Having hired Perry the Homunculus, the gang quizzed him for information. The mutant said the second level was a flooded library; where the skinkmen fled after he tortured them in self-defence. The party used the monotreme's alchemy skills and Dewyd's brewing expertise to bottle some clerical miracles, distilling monster organs into draughts of wound closure and liquid courage.

Time for a quickfire round. 

These will have titles for posterity. I'll also go through my previous posts and name all those hexes. Same with adding local encounters.

Even More Gods

Eucharius Rösslin

BLOODY MOTHER

Neutral goddess of midwifery and pregnancy. Deaths in childbirth are a specter terrorising every race and creed. Without Bloody Mother's loving ministrations, infant mortality would quadruple overnight. 

The Mother's clerics are wandering healers renowned for zealously defending the pregnant and the newlyborn. Some fundamentalists also punish breaches of moral law; absentee parents are chastised or beaten, rapists are mutilated or executed in cruel and unusual fashions. More progressive sects have pioneered pregnancy tests, contraceptives, abortions and caesarean deliveries. 

Religious orthodoxy states that Bloody Mother is either an aspect of the Knacker or Grain Goddess, but her worship likely predates both religions.

Minidungeon - The Sacked Monastery

St Mary, East Somerton

A rural church is razed by a vengeful band of escaped convicts. When a squad of soldiers is sent to reopen the monastery for business, they find it overrun with maneating monsters, mutant plantlife and security constructs gone rogue.

Someone needs to clear the place out and get the agrimancy flowing again, lest there be famine.
