LOCATION
BRIEFING
DISCOVERED — Ruins of old houses(?) in a swamp, potentially containing valuable natural resources.

DETAILS — Lalli wants to have the run of the buildings so he can collect some of the plants, fungi, and suspiciously-colorful frogs. He does not, however, want to have to deal with the swamp fae that seem to appear anytime he gets close.
ENCOUNTERS
PLOTTING NOTES
YOUR CHARACTER'S ROLE — Lalli's basically looking for someone to deal with the swamp fae (ideally using diplomacy of some kind) while he gathers the items he's after.
YOUR ROLE — Many of the semantics (especially re: swamp fae) have yet to be developed - I've left them open so that whoever gets involved can help work out the details.

Also, this could be a sort of gateway for one or more of y'all to take it and run with it once this initial expedition is over. Like, Lalli only really cares about the resources - after that, he's got no interest in the swamp. But if someone else gets involved in swamp fae diplomacy (or even accidentally pissing them off), that could potentially be an ongoing project (or rivalry, whoops) for your character with magical ramifications, etc. etc.
SWAMP FAE — The only established info so far, apart from their appearance (linked above), is:
  • There were 3+ swamp fae sighted; Lalli had the feeling that more were watching.
  • They appear to live in the ruins themselves, though it's hard to tell since...
  • They just kind of... appear up out of the swamp muck.
Further details on the swamp fae, how they act, what they can do, etc. are still totally up in the air - your character is interacting with them, so I figured you'd get to decide what kind of fae they get to interact with.
NATURAL RESOURCES — These are what Lalli's here for - they seem Odd in various undeniably magical ways, though he himself does not yet know what they do. I've decided to leave most of it up to a D&D d100 'magic plant effects' table for maximum fuckery.

I'll have them listed in a frozen comment under this one once I roll them. If your character came to the swamp (or maybe requested samples from Lalli and/or someone who did go to the swamp), feel free to assume they have whichever of these plants you want them to have.
OOC PLOTTING — Feel free to reply to this comment if you want to work anything out OOCly, or message me on plurk ([plurk.com profile] noita) or discord (trace#8911) if it's easier! I'll be keeping any plotting decisions (e.g. swamp fae disposition) in the frozen comment below.
