The Omen

by Kassy

An ominous emblem begins appearing in tapestries, paintings, engravings, streets, etc. across the town or city in which the players are staying.

More and more manifest every day. Only a few people seem to notice them as they are either small and in hard to spot places, or are so vast that one would be required to stand further back or higher up to see them. Meanwhile, there has been an alarming increase in tragic accidents from the lowest to the highest citizens and it appears that none are safe. Reports have also came to light of increased demonic/supernatural activity. The rulers/officials are becoming increasingly worried. After hearing the PC's aren't far away, they hire them to solve the mystery.

Can be worked into supernatural/occult adventures as a starter or continuation.

Rare mark

Hall of Honour

for The Omen

The Hall of Honour is your mark on a submission you believe is frick’n awesome — so good you would jump in front of a dragon’s breath to protect the scroll it is written on.

Bestowing HoH also highlights it on the front of the Citadel for about a day, so others see the recognition it earned.

You may bestow HoH on the same submission up to your level (with a short wait between strikes). Five distinct HoH voters raise a work to Golden.

    A fun concept, with plenty of directions the Gm can run with it, making it harder for players to easily guess who (or what) is behind the symbols, or even if they are the cause of the incidents and aren't some preventative wards keeping things from escalating to wide spread death.
