GM Notes

In this episode, I sprang one of the surprises I’d been planning ever since Tric’s player gave me carte blanche for things pertaining to Tric’s parentage. I knew that finding his mother would be something Tric would want to accomplish early in the campaign, but I didn’t want the mystery to stop there. With the introduction of a mysterious father as well, I created the next hook for Tric. Hooks for Heppa were somewhat more challenging. She was always so curious about everything, that I was often not sure of what would stick. Ultimately, magical theory became a key interest to her, and this arc gave a space for that to really start growing.
