On the twenty-ninth day of #Mörktober, there's a hat like a hole (for Pirate Borg; text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social):

#pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG

An illustration of a pirate drawing a sword from a hole in their hat that opens up into an extra-dimensional space while a rat peers out of the hole. The text reads, "Hat of Holding: The hole in this hat leads to an extradimensional space that can hold up to 8 normal-sized items. To retrieve an item all the wearer must do is reach into the hole while thinking of the item. Extradimensional spaces such as these carry the risk of Void Rat infestation. Void Rat Look too long into the void and sometimes a rat looks back at you. HP 2 Morale 5 No Armor Bite 1 + Curse of the Void Curse of the Void: Test TOUGHNESS DR 10 or permanently lose hit points equal to the damage taken. Swarm: When multiple Void Rats attack the same target, combine their damage into one sum (target only tests once for Curse of the Void)."

#MÖRKTOBER Day 26 - Torch

#MÖRKBORG #morktober #morkborg #ttrpg #alttext

(The top third of the page is black, and the bottom two-thirds are dark blue suggesting the shadow of a field. Bright orange and red fires are scattered on the field. Fires closer to the bottom are larger suggesting the viewer’s perspective.)

The Field of Torches

Stretching from Bastion far into the night shrouded lands.
A plain of ash and mud from which fires spontaneously burst.

This HEX contains d6
1 mud and ash
2 the blaze of a torchfire: wait it out (d4 hours) or travel around
3 a field of blocky, metal buildings covered in rust (+1 to Search Amid the Ash and Mud)
4 ground baked hard by fire (-1 to Search Amid the Ash and Mud)
5 thickly cloying gasses (d6 each 15 minutes spent here, on a 1 take d10 damage as the gas ignites then clears)
6 something like a shallow lake, but black (+1 to Search Amid the Ash and Mud, Agility and Presence Tests are taken at +1DR)

Searching amid the ash and mud, you find (d6)
0-1 A pool of tepid, contaminated water
2 Some traveller’s cart; mired, emptied, and abandoned. Test Strength DR12 to pull it out.
3 The emptiness of the plain, suddenly filled by a torchfire. Test Agility DR10 to avoid d8 damage
4 Weapons that were lost in the dark. Roll twice on the weapons table.
5 A forgotten store of equipment. Roll three times on the equipment table.
or a threat of doom and death
6+ A relic of the night

Day 26 of #MÖRKTOBER is Torch! A mandatory tool in the dark tunnels of the ancient tombs. Though, some searchers have said that being sightless makes the revolting horrors more easily encountered as their awful visage doesn't get the chance to explode the eyeballs from your head!

Day 25: Hermit
#MÖRKTOBER

A playing card with a magical man doing a thousand-yard stare. The text reads:
25) TODOLOVEO
This cursed wizard is in constant pain just to keep his eyes open.
HP 5
Knife d4
Special For a day’s worth of water to help hydrate his eyes, the hermit will trade a random unclean scroll. Careful else it might go off when trading.

#MÖRKTOBER Day 25 - Hermit

#MÖRKBORG #morktober #morkborg #ttrpg #alttext

the Occluded Witness

Ancient, yet young compared to the walls that surround them
Alone for decades, yet not lonely
Hermits take note

Few in Bastion or Refuge know the Occluded Witness exists. Once a decade, a simple light ignites in Bastion, a wordless message that they remain in their Lighthouse.

What the Witness does alone in the night none know. What do they wait for? Why must they be alone? Are they hermit or anchorite?

Those who learn of the Occluded Witness and reach them in their Lighthouse each receive an answer to a single question. The form of that answer depends on signs only the Witness can interpret (d3).
1 The signs herald doom, the Witness will only speak of pain and suffering
2 Signs of the end have shown themselves to the Witness, answers will only speak of the endings
3 Bright signs shine in these benighted lands, the Witness provides clear and useful answers

On the twenty-fifth day of #Mörktober, not all hermits live in caves (for Pirate Borg; text by me, art by @lostarot.bsky.social):

#pirateborg #mörkborg #TTRPG

A drawing of a salty seadog wearing a mollusk shell inscribed with glowing runes on their head. They are in partial transformation into a hermit crab-like creature. The text reads "Metamorphoses of the Hermit Crab: Upon activating this ANCIENT RELIC roll a d6 to transform your body (duplicate rolls do not stack): 1. Crab Claws. d6 damage for d6+SPIRT rounds. 2. Crustaceous Shell. d2 armor for d6+SPIRIT rounds. 3. Shell Occupation. Can withdraw into the shell and become immobile, giving d10 armor for d6+SPIRIT days. 4. Gill Growth. Breathe underwater for d6+SPIRT hours. 5. Antennae. "See" through vibrations in the air and ground, revealing the hidden or invisible, for d6+SPIRIT hours. 6. Complete the Metamorphosis. Permanently become a Sentient Animal, a coconut-sized hermit crab. Gain all of the above abilities and modify stats as follows STRENGTH: -2. AGILITY: +2. PRESENCE: -3. TOUGHNESS: +3. SPIRIT: -2. HP: D2±TOUGHNESS."
