Hexplore24 Day 25/366

 

The party ventured into the hills, where they stumbled upon a remarkable discovery—a square-shaped tumbled-down crystalline structure crafted from a massive single quartz crystal. As they explored the structure, they uncovered a single stairway leading to at least one underground level.

Amidst their exploration, the party encountered two Bai perched upon a crystal wall, observing them with cautious curiosity. Despite the initial tension, Agrl, intrigued by the opportunity for communication, engaged in a peaceful negotiation with the winged beings. Ultimately, the Bai agreed to allow the party to continue undisturbed in exchange for Zilzilm Ar's chronometric device.

With the negotiations settled, the party decided to camp outside the crystal ruins for the night, preparing for the exploration of the underground level and reflecting on the mysteries that awaited them within the crystalline structure.

#hexplore24

The viral #dungeon23 challenge put forth by Sean McCoy https://seanmccoy.substack.com/p/dungeon23 is coming to an end as of December 31st. For myself and many others it has been apart of our daily lives, one room at a time. It’s gonna feel a little weird on the 1st when that aspect of my morning ritual goes away.  Like I’ve forgotten something, but can’t put a finger on what it was. So, I’ve decided to cobble together a few ideas for a project that will replace #dungeon23. I’m calling it #hexplore24 and I’ll give a “brief" outline of what that’ll entail.  The gist: 1) Exploration of an unknown territory. Grab your favorite hexcrawl generator!! 2) 1:1 time. One actual day = one game day. In other words, there are 366 days and you play one day per day. 3) No mindless “plot following”. There is no regular pre-scripted story. It is a sandbox game. There is no mysterious old man sending the characters on quests. No overarching plot, just an overarching environment. If this sounds

Hexplore24: Day 1/366

In the embrace of Barsoom’s arid expanse, the rugged mountains rose like ancient titans, their peaks piercing the cerulean skies. Hrul Marak, Ptormed, Haj Uljat, and the enigmatic Khem journeyed through this formidable terrain, their every step resonating with the echoes of a dying world lost to time. From the walled town of Emtor, their sanctuary amidst the hills, the intrepid party ventured forth, guided by the relentless pursuit of discovery that defines this perilous expedition. With each passing hour, the jagged mountains loomed ever larger, their rocky visages a testament to the unforgiving nature of Barsoom’s landscape. For relentless hours, they traversed the unforgiving terrain, their footsteps echoing through the rugged mountains as the sun cast its golden embrace upon jagged peaks. Yet, as the day waned and the shadows grew longer, the encroaching darkness heralded the onset of night, casting an ethereal glow upon our path.  With torches in hand, they pressed on, the flicker
