Heyya, guys.
So, we had a several-months lasting consistend-attendance campaign goin, when Corona struck. My PCs have just finished Mine of Phandelver and have started Tyrrany of the Dragons. They have entered Greenest, fought some enemies, managed to get spotted by a dragon, ran INTO the underground tunnel under the castle aaand ... Corona struck.
It was sort of a cockblock moment for us all. Party has disintegrated, different real life hardships hitting every memeber. We are not coming back yet, but I'm thinking of how to pick up the pieces, if we get together in a few weeks. The core of the group, at least.
There is this idea I had. I'd like to intertwine the completely unfair and unjust ending to the campaign into actual next campaign. So, here is what has happened: When party had entered the tunnel under Greenest, Big Blue has spotted them and blasted the tunnel with his lightning breath. I was thinking of going full The Sixth Sense - tunnel has collapsed and they have died.
There is this Innistrad 5e module (Army of the dead) I'd really like to run, so I was thinking of transfering PCs souls into the bodies of protagonists in this Innistrad setting, and if at least one of them makes it to the end of the module, they all get their lives back ... perhaps in a bit different form. Perhaps "awakening" as some common peasants in Greenest during attack.
Why would this happen? Well, gods are unfair in many aspects and in this case Bahamut did not like the result of an "abrupt cut" to the path of the heroes and has decided to make them run the gauntlet to be respawned again. (Given they were starting Tyrrany of the Dragons campaign). But, then again, they were not religious. This would all make sense, if they had a Paladin of Bahamut with them, but they did not.
So, this is a half-baked idea ... Illuminated by not-fun-at-all glow of Corona.
I'd appreciate any comment/idea/improvement/suggestion.
Hopefully, there is no second wave.
stay healthy, playgrounders
