5e Tomb of Annihilation: PreGame

Journal Writeup: https://www.newoutriders.org/forums/vie ... 162&t=6608

For the past several days, the talk of the streets and taverns has all been about the so-called death curse: a wasting disease afflicting everyone who’s ever been raised from the dead. Victims grow thinner and weaker each day, slowly but steadily sliding toward the death they once denied. When they finally succumb, they can’t be raised — and neither can anyone else, regardless of whether they’ve ever received that miracle in the past. Temples and scholars of divine magic are at a loss to explain a curse that has affected the entire region, and possibly the entire world.
You have saved the town of Phandlin, you have retrieved the relics stolen by Keraptis and returned them to the Masked Lords of Waterdeep. Recovering from your adventures here in Waterdeep, rumors of a Death Curse begin to fill the streets.

DownTime example:
many of the downtime activities have some rolling to do and instead of trying to find your DM at the same time your trying to work on your character, we have a roll20 work around:)

first off open up the campaign in roll20 and we will use crime as an example


Downtime activity: Crime

Resources. spend one week and at least 25 gp gathering information.

Resolution. choose the DC according to the amount of profit sought from the crime.

example DC 15

roll: Dexterity (Stealth), with Advantage if using thieves’ tools. (d20+stealth mod) x2 for Advantage.

(use roll20 to make your roll) 20

then roll 2 more checks using your choice of Intelligence (Investigation), Wisdom (Perception), or Charisma (Deception).


(use roll20 to make your roll) 14


(use roll20 to make your roll) 22

Results
  • If none of the checks are successful, the character is caught and jailed. The character must pay a fine equal to the profit the crime would have earned and must spend one week in jail for each 25 gp of the fine.
  • If only one check is successful, the heist fails but the character escapes.
  • If two checks are successful, the heist is a partial success, netting the character half the payout.
  • If all three checks are successful, the character earns the full value of the loot.
Loot Value
DC Value
10 50 gp, robbery of a struggling merchant
15 100 gp, robbery of a prosperous merchant
20 200 gp, robbery of a noble
25 1,000 gp, robbery of one of the richest figures in town
Complications. if the character succeeds on only one check. Roll on the Crime Complications table
