        • GM Notes

        When the players first reached South Tower, I expected that they would gain access to the House of Light by some means and there obtain a new artifact as well as information related to the mysteries surrounding Kachen. However, as play progressed, it became clear that they were not going to do that. So, I had to get them the information some other way. Heledd’s theft was the first part of that; I brought the artifact out of the tower for them. Sir Marthynec was the second part. Rather than Heppa looking through Rhaessa’s books and potion supplies, here now was a patient from whom she could get the same information about the dapper inkcap mushroom. Sometimes a GM has to be flexible. Sir Marthynec, by the way, comes from Scenario 4c of the Eastern Invasion campaign in the Battle for Wesnoth video game.

            • GM Notes

            After our Wesnoth campaign had been going for a while, Heppa’s player was missing the special ability she had when playing Lilly in our StarCraft campaign. Not that she wanted that exact flashback mechanic again, but just something that felt special and could gift her with knowledge that she did not already have. My solution to this was to look at the Heroic Abilities in the Realms of Terrinoth supplement. Heppa and Tric each got one that their player liked, and their introduction did succeed in injecting something special into the mix. Note that we don’t use them entirely as depicted in Realms of Terrinoth, as usually we’re interested in a more narrative application of the ability.
