Sequence of adventures

[Aprewett]

With all the books excluding part one of the official campaign, what would be a good order to play the published adventures in please?

[Clovis]

Hello Aprewett,

There is no official order. As the name indicates, the scenarios from Book 0 - Prologue are meant to be played as a prelude to the official campaign, but apart from that, the scenarios from Book 2 - Travels, Occultism, Ghost Stories, etc. can be played in any order.

Suggestions are given as to how to tie two or more of the official scenarios together, but ultimately, it's up to the Leader to see which stories they want to play and in which order.

I hope that helps!

I have drawn from many official and unofficial sources and have a fairly good grasp of my own personal timeline which I can share. Clovis is right though, because of the Narrative Arcs and how many of the stories link and alter based on each other, there is no real official way. But, I feel this timeline might help give you ideas.

That's a very interesting timeline... and a very impressive compilation!

Congratulations for making it and thank you for sharing it!

Thanks, but I don't deserve alot of credit. The French forum users came up with most of it, I just used Google Translate. Then put them in order that made logical sense for my campaign. I wish I knew more French because there is alot of GREAT content in the other forum, but it takes me hours to sift through it one topic at a time.

I'm more or less just sharing my diligence and stubbornness with others.

[Clovis]

Ha ha, thanks to the French community, then! And again, thank you for your persistence!

After alot of research and figuring out how I want my party to progress, I have adapted a "work in progress" list of related events based on the original post.

Towards the end of Summer or Fall, Year 908
A Tidy Room – Leacach
After the events of A Tidy Room:

• Haldrid’s sick client – head to Kalvernach to get remedy from Jaran (Say it with Flowers)
• Haldrid’s package for the Circle – head to Osta-Baille (Fluxed Gears)

If heading North (Summer Path):
Itinerary: Leacach > Crail > Kalvernach > Baldh-Ruoch > Kell > Farl > Ashen Yard

• The Return of the Missing One – Crail
• The Key to the Past – En route to Kalvernach (Castle of the Mac Baellecs)
• Say it with Flowers – Kalvernach
• Bloody Trail – En route to Baldh-Ruoch (hills north of Kalvernach)
• Narrative Arc: A Better World – Baldh-Ruoch
• A Pale Horse – Kell
• Meet Anais Cruyssec – Farl
  • Head to Mudan (A Life Choice), then back to the Ashen Yard hospital or Monastery of Tuath to save her son's life
    • Blood Feathers - En route to Mudan
    • A Night of Fright - En route to Monastery of Tuath
    • Vengeful Words - Monastery of Tuath
  • Head to Ashen Yard and then an expedition to Carmine Chasm (southeast of Farl) to investigate weird vegetation

If heading South along the Great Beaches to Osta-Baille:
Itinerary: Kalvernach > Alliance Bridge > Kel Loar > Seol > Smarag > Koskan > Osta-Baille

• Rumor: The Disappearance of Aoda – En route to Seol
  • Head to Frendian after reaching Osta-Baille first
• Shipwreck – En route to Smarag
  • Varigal Jervon heads with them to the next town
• Make use of documents from Shipwreck - Duke of Gorm, Preden Mac Blonag, in Smarag
• The Disappearance – En route to Koskan
• Aliser Mac Geovran - Lord of Koskan
• Fluxed Gears – Osta-Baille

If heading south through the mountains to Osta-Baille:

• Siren of the Tealderoth - Crossing the Tealderoth River
• Blood Feathers - En route to Mudan
• A Life Choice - Mudan
• DECISION:
  • If failed horribly (Anais dead), or justifiable, head to Osta-Baille next to recoup
    • Fluxed Gears – Osta-Baille
  • Head back north along the coast, reverse itinerary of Great Beaches above, possibly heading to the Ashen Yard
  • Head to Dearg from the south, see below (except skip Expiation and make Rounding Up Stray Souls take place near the Monastery of Tuath)

Late Fall/Beginning of Winter, Year 908
Preferably, the other scenarios should take enough time for fall to transition to winter.

If heading south through the mountains to Dearg's Vale:
Itinerary: Leacach > Expiation > Thol > Smiorail > Fearil > Dearg

• Rounding Up Stray Souls - Expiation
• Arrival in Dearg's Vale - Dearg
• A Night of Fright - En route to Monastery of Tuath
• Vengeful Words - Monastery of Tuath
• Omens: Red Fall - Dearg's Vale and Fearil (Should take place in Fall)
• Omens: Poison - Melwan
• Omens: Loch Varn - Loch Varn's Vale

Middle of Winter, Year 908

• Scourge: Winter Paths - Dearg
• Scourge: Ravages - Fearil

I think I counted out how many sessions it would take for me to run all these and came up with something between 20-24, and since I'm running my game every month, that's two years of solid content!

Not familiar with the setting at all, as I wait for my printed books from the KS, what are the scources for these adventures please?
Say it with flowers for example, and Fluxed Gears.
