Game day yesterday. Got to use the Compendium (get yours today!) for the first time since it arrived in the mail, which was fun and convenient......the players found a Dealer In Fine Silks in a cage held by some toad demons in the megadumgeon. They were escorting him back to Port Gobelins after finding him in a cage only to find (after a very dramatic archery contest--thanks dice) that Port Gobelins was besieged on all sides by warriors of chaos.
Since the dungeon originally began at Port Gobelins, they then took him all the way back to the dungeon, reverse-traversed it and popped up back where they started over a years ago, inside the city under siege.
But Here's What I Need Your Help With...
The real chaos came when these long-suffering adventurers, after many battles and negotiations, arrived back in the besieged city and rolled on the Carousing Table. This was the last action of the evening, and here are the results:
-Bleezy the Sea-Elf wizard has a massive hangover (the least of it)
-Bob the Ranger was turned into a pig by a witch on account of lewd advances. (He got better. Bleezy has Remove Curse in old school and in 5e this only lasts an hour, so either way it was temporary).
-Horg the half-orc wizard has offended a local military officer (no small thing in a city under siege)
-Tor the half-ogre barbarian has offended the court wizard (I didn't know Port Gobelins had a court wizard)
-Horg has woken up in bed with the court wizard
-Tor has burned down an entire district of the city and everybody knows (again, no small thing during a siege)
So here's my thought:
While the Carousing Table is a mere chart and the PCs were too black-out-drunk to see any plot or narrative connecting these six events, I am sure there is one. And I am sure it is the seed for next week's adventure.
So, here's the contest:
What happened last night? What Coen Brothers-esque dominoes fell that explains all of this? How does it lead to intrigue in the next session. Best answer gets some free RPG pdf of mine that they don't already have.
If you need background, Port Gobelins is here, on the coast:
...and it looks a lot like Venice and there are little masked goblins running around pretending to be children:
