Old School Lunch Break

About the adventure

Over a decade ago the small fishing village of Innsfjord was on the edge of abandonment. The winters had lengthened, the fish's migratory routes had changed, and the young were leaving. Then, one evening the ground began to shake, the waters were whipped into a maelstrom, and deadly cold winds buffed the village. When the dim sun rose the next day, a massive tower loomed on the horizon and stretched into the clouds. No matter the time of day the tower's shadow hung over the village. Soon heroes and knights, arch wizards and wily thieves came to Innsfjord all drawn by the tower. Soon the once-dying town was prospering under the economy of adventurers seeking to explore or conquer the tower and many a farmboy and village hedgewitch came to Innfjord to seek their fortunes in the tower. Three things are known of the tower. 1. The tower's treasures and threats are refreshed sometime between moonrise and sunrise. 2. All who die in the tower are resurrected and awaken naked in Innsfjord's temple, and all their equipment and treasure are lost to the tower. 3. Anyone in the tower at moonrise has until the moon crests the horizon to find a way out or be absorbed by the tower. *** Old School Lunch Time is a weekly (and possibly twice weekly) extraction dungeon crawl using the OSE ruleset. Players can come and go as they please as each session will end at Moonrise. The goal is simple: Dungeon crawl for an hour of IRL time (The Lunch Time) to gain as much experience and treasure as possible so that you can retire rich and carefree ... luckily the Tower doesn't let you die.

If even one group member has a "Fast Pass" the entire party can use it. Be warned though, the higher you go the tougher things get, being a wet behind-the-ear farm boy on level 10 may be a death sentence. - Leveling will be done in the usual way 1gp = 1xp and monster XP. The Tower's first 3 levels are typically explored by 1st level characters, 4-6 second level characters, etc. - The Tower is not static, it may not always be wise to use your "Fast Pass". **How do I pay?** - Use Start Playing's payment system. **What Services will we be using** - Roll20 only ATM, that voice may change to Discord depending on how well this goes over or a ne
