Dicey Dangers, The Creepy Creature of Vulture's Vineyard

Game by Joel Hills

Entrance to Vulture's Vineyard Lodge

As you approach Vulture's Vineyard Lodge, the building's façade is old and worn but exudes a warm charm that draws you in. Stone makes up most of its two stories, patched in places with newer mortar, with dark wooden trim around the doors and windows. Worn stone steps lead up to a wide deck that wraps around the building, and beside them stands a wooden log sign, its face hand-carved: Welcome to the Vulture's Vineyard Lodge.

A sense of excitement builds in you as you climb the stairs. The deck boards are worn pale in a path from the steps to the heavy front door, which stands propped open in fair weather. A pair of rocking chairs sits near the rail, one angled to watch the road, and the smell of pipe smoke seems soaked into the timber itself. Whatever brings travelers over the pass, sooner or later they all cross this deck, and the deck remembers every one of them.

Event

Roll 1d6 on a 6, You reach for the heavy front door and it doesn't budge. Someone inside has accidentally thrown the latch. Choose one way in:

• Wave someone down: Make a Social(1). On a success, a guest passing the front window spots you and lifts the latch with an apologetic shrug. On a failure, you're left knocking until someone finally wanders by, add 1 .
• Pick the lock: Make a Reflex(2). On a success, the old latch gives with a soft click. On a failure, you fumble at it long enough to draw a raised eyebrow from a window above, add 1 .
• Cast a spell: A spell that can open locks, such as Arcane Seal, follows its own rules.
