Morgause intro and initial rolls

Plot Hook

Objective: [3] Recover something valuable - a gem of concealment, rumoured to be hidden in the nearby village of Whaler’s Cove

Adversaries: [4] Local inhabitants - the locals of Whaler’s Cove rarely leave the village, and are particularly unwelcoming to outsiders

Rewards: [3] Knowledge and secrets - information that may help Morgause in the future

What is the “something valuable” that Morgause is looking for?

Generic Generator:

What it does: [3S] Oppose (mystical) - the gem is used to shroud an area from magical detection

How it looks: [2S] Small (mystical) - a palm-sized sapphire of murky colouring

How significant: [3] About average - while not an artefact of world-shaking power, it’s bound to help Morgause in her plans

What is the nature of the local inhabitants?

Detail focus: [9C] Unsavory (Physical) - isolated from the surrounding region for several years, the villagers of Whaler’s Cove have undergone some rather fishy changes

(It’s at this point I realised I’m riffing on Shadow over Innsmouth…)

What knowledge and secrets will Morgause discover?

Topic Focus: [TS] A Plot Arc (mystical) - a possible connection to the current danger and suspicion facing magic users in the area

Morgause is a Half-Elf, originally a foundling taken in by a coven of Woodland-dwelling witches. Young and brash, she has established her own small hut in the sprawling woods to the East of Corringate, in the Kingdom of Selt, where she plies her trade in potions and mild hexes, provided for the neighbouring villages.

Morgause is not exactly a people person, with something of an abrasive personality. She likes her space and her freedom, and chooses to live in seclusion. However, that’s not to say she doesn’t welcome company of a temporary nature, particularly that of the well-built, male presenting kind.

Recent anti-magical sentiment, filtering down from royal proclamations, has made her more withdrawn of late, and inwardly-focused on finding a way to protect the magic users and magical wildlife of the area. Despite her somewhat anti-social tendencies when it comes to people and her fellow witches, she cares very deeply for the natural magical world and its denizens.

Morgause stands 5’4, pale and slender with an hourglass figure and a full chest. Raven haired and green eyed, she has a pale face with very slightly pointed features, suggesting her Half-Elven heritage. She wears a fairly typical witches outfit, with a wide brimmed pointed hat, and a black dress and corset with a generous display of cleavage, a little tattered at the bottom and baring her slender legs and perpetually bare feet.

Her somewhat stereotypical fashion sense is something of an embarrassment to the sisters of her former Coven, but Morgause just thinks they have no flair for the dramatic.
