  • DS138 | Wesnoth | Echoes of Invasion: Dwarvish Discourse | Part 5 of 6

    Tric and Heppa make an appeal to Lord Knutan, leader of the Untdunben dwarves.

    • Scene 10
    • Scene 11
    • GM Notes

      Several units from the Battle for Wesnoth video game make an appearance in this arc. The party was attacked by Vampire Bats. Mari-Elin is a Footpad. Trigadur is a Dwarvish Thunderguard. And Lord Knutan, not only is he a Dwarvish Lord unit, but he’s actually a character from Eastern Invasion, where he makes an appearance in Scenario 2. One of the fun things about making an RPG campaign from the video game was picking out little pieces of lore here and there that could inspire far more elaborate events at our table.

      This episode also introduces the bard Glammur. Their importance to the campaign is reflected in their inclusion in our group character portrait, where they can be seen sitting on the right. Their look was inspired by the Dwarvish Explorer unit.

      The map we refer to (by me!) can be found here.

    • DS132 | Wesnoth | Echoes of Invasion: Dwarvish Discourse | Part 2 of 6

      • GM Notes

        Part of this arc was inspired by The Mary Ellen Carter by Canadian folk music legend Stan Rogers. I’d had the idea for this encounter bumping around in my head for a while, but I had no specific plan to use it in this arc. However, when the bats were getting the better of the PCs at the end of last episode, that seemed the perfect time to bring Mari-Elin into play.
