Loki Encounters, Part I

Followers of Loki

LOKIAN PHILOSOPHY

Some may abide by some, some may abide by all- who knows? What a follower of Loki may emphasize can also affect the mysteries, magical side-effects, and divine test results they'll experience from Volume I- or maybe not?

Main Emphasis (d14)

1. Spread mischief
2. Spread deception

3. Breed monsters- they make life more interesting!

4. Point out others’ flaws; it really helps to annoy them

5. Burn down the structures of those who would control you
6. Shapeshifting itself

7. Being a catalyst/ change/ instigation

8. Being an outcast

9-11. Reroll 1d10 twice

12-14.  All are emphasized

Hera Encounters, Part III

Quests of Hera

Whether matriarchy or matrimony, women lead, though what happens to their men isn't always clear. Roll 1d12.

1. Women come first, men must follow: 1d4 men accompany an imposing woman in a servile manner. Strangely, there's a 50% chance of each one liking it.

2. Never let a man subjugate a woman! A group of 2d3 amazons are spotted, and they look determined. If asked, they will plainly state that they are out to punish an upstart male, and then will proceed to punish any males who asked before continuing on. Still, the party may wish to follow to see who their original target is. 

3. A clever matriarch must carry herself well: The next female the party encounters (or if already in the party, a random member) gains 2d3 Charisma for the next 2d3 hours. Any attempts at wooing her though (except for marriage, of course), will be met with a divine test from Hera.

Hera Encounters, Part I

HERAN PHILOSOPHY

Some may heed all her tenets, while others emphasize one most of all. This choice not only determines the fashion of their beliefs, but it can also adjust the mysteries, magical side-effects, and divine test results available to them from Volume I.

Main Emphasis (d10)

1. Women come first, men must follow

2. Never let a man subjugate a woman!

3. A clever matriarch must carry herself well

4. A clever matriarch must have eyes all around her...
5. Take vengeance upon those who wrong you, especially if they are men, and especially if they have been unfaithful!
6. Otherwise be a good wife and mother

7. Children, child birth
8. Cattle, 'ox-eyed'

9-10. Reroll twice

Hel Encounters, Part III

Quests of Hel
The Underworld awaits us all, though some may venture there sooner than later. Roll 1d12.

1. Bring death upon those chosen by Hel: The party is approached with an offer to slay a popular performer. If they pass on it, they know the Hel cultists will likely enlist someone else who won't.

2. Spread disease when needed, it aids in death: With an odd brush, a peasant passes by a little too close. He is actually infected with a debilitating disease that can only be removed by willingly giving it to someone else. The peasant knows it, and an unlucky party member will soon learn it too. Night time nightmare visits from Hel herself will remove any doubt,

3. Stop the spread of people, famine is an invaluable tool: Grain silos are being set ablaze in this region. Rumor has it that the culprit screams "to Hel with it all!" before fleeing into the night.

Freya Encounters, Part III

Quests of Freya

Love can bring both battle and magic. Whatever the case, Freya is there in the end, ready to receive her faithful in the halls of Folkvang. Roll 1d12.

1. Spread love (Gef): Filled with a sense of adoration, a random party member is moved to become matchmaker, pairing the next available person they spot with another who would be fitting. 

 

2. Enjoy all that life has to offer (Horn): Pleasures abound at a place rumored nearby, with fetching maidens, flagons of mead, and magic to resolve all ails. Those who seek it may find the real challenge is leaving (requiring a save vs. spell/ Will save DC 15) instead.

 

3. Master the arts of passion (Mardoll): A very attractive woman walks up to a random party member and kisses him passionately. If he allows, she will then instruct him in her very talented romantic arts for the rest of the evening, though he will be (happily) at +1d3 to his mental rolls and -1d3 to his physical rolls the following day, due to all the exertion. The scent of forest fires will be a present reminder too.
