So I had my second round of using the Scrying rules during this morning's speed run episode.


So I had my second round of using the Scrying rules during this morning's speed run episode. This one went smoother than the first, which was fortunate since the first game of the doubleheader finished in just over 40 minutes! Here were my threads and such:

First motif:
- Roasted beasts of questionable origin
- A fountain fed by hot springs beneath the city, surrounded by torches
- An epic duel with the baron's champion

Second motif:
- Being pursued by the tiger-mounted city guard
- Throwing flames from the city fire dancer's torches from the tips of daggers
- Ducking into the shadows as the guards run past

Third motif:
- Drinking ale that you can't afford
- Pulling a well-worn map from a pouch
- Previously unknown missing pieces of a map linking party members through mystery
- The enormous looming shadow of the monkey king

Mysteries:
- What caused the eruption of the geyser?

Morals:
- Watch for signs when you need them most
- Beward of meddling in the wars of other kingdoms

All in all it was another great time, and the episode was the best of the bunch so far. The group got in two games since the first went so quickly, but I only took notes for the first. My goal for the next go-round is to try and get a handle on the silver threads that link my motifs to the groups', but I think I might also take a stab at rewatching the episode when it hits YouTube and seeing if I come up with different motifs when I get some time this week.

So had my first run of the Scrying rules during the stream yesterday.

So had my first run of the Scrying rules during the stream yesterday. I missed a few descriptions here and there (particularly on the Morals) due to the baby being in the room while I watched, and kind of had to fill in based on what was on the board so to speak. I also briefly forgot about tying the Motifs together, but that ended up working itself out. So not ideal, but still pretty good I think.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, here's what my sheet ended up looking like. But all in all it was a good time, and hopefully as the speed runs continue I'll get a bit better at it.
