I started a new campaign set in Olympia with ActionMan, Sarah, and other (new) friends. In this campaign, a powerful priestess of the Titans (Nausicaa) has slain the Great Oracle at Delfos and the PCs set out to find her heir. Until then, no oracle can divine the will of the gods. A bad thing in Olympia...
This campaign will be a very nautical one, with the PCs visiting a series of islands to locate four stones that will show the way to the heir to Apollo's gift.
One thing when I began designing the campaign was to mix random sites and events with fixed locations. So I created a number of tables for random ships and islands. Let the PCs do what they do...
I found that by alternating "main" and "random" events, I am able to give them different items and earn gold and reward without them being tied only to the central quest. Though sometimes, they may get clues... It's up to them to engage or not.
From Athenion, they sailed to the Island of Aeon where time moved of its own accord, the vegetation growing and dying within minutes.
They entered the temple and met with Kronus (represented here by the massive construct).
Funniest thing was when Lethe, our cleric of Hades, touched Kronus... and found himself aged 40 years! He was already creepy... Now he an old creepy man...
And every laugh as they cringe...
However all was not happy-joyful as their enemy, Nausicaa escaped with the first of the four stones they need.
