Alrightgames: Aerial Adventure – Fulgash's Tower (Adapted)

Aerial Adventure: Fulgash's Tower (Adapted)

2002 / Roleplaying game adventure / 2+ players

****

This inspiring entry in Mike Mearls' Aerial Gazetteer (the flying tower's gone skew-whiff, so stay away from the windows!) gave just enough detail to get started building an adventure around, especially when the violence and innuendo are being neutralised for a young audience anyway.

The late, eponymous archwizard was recast as a plastic pony named Glitter who fortuitously survived the fall, though when I forgot to get rid of her before the party caught up with the runaway tower, it did dilute the exploration aspect somewhat. A few climbing tests, rescued bats, non-fatal window dives to retrieve lost boots and a successful spell later, and her vampire character now has a suitably gothic residence inconveniently plonked in the middle of the Everfree Forest to hang out in between adventures. Tune in next time for more classic D&D vandalism!
