Friends at the Table
From the roof of the restricted Hexcloak train station, Caoimhe Wake, Antistrophe Landrace, and Brontë Adelvys can hear the approach of a train. It is a train that will take them east, towards the coastline, towards Cenn, City of Iron Chains, and towards a brush with deity and destiny both. But if they are to board this train, they must first overcome a foe equal parts cryptic and cunning: The Fleggus!

Friends at the Table
Led by the cries of someone in danger, the crew of the Little Snail have charged into the Celestial Echo of Redolencia, an otherworldly swampland where magic works differently and shadowy creatures flit between trees. The source of those screams was a Manakin scholar who’d wandered too far into the Echo and who now found himself face-to-face with a maneating orchid. Can these humble adventurers, still recovering from their own recent stumbles into danger, save this wandering researcher before he becomes plantfood?, This week on Perpetua: Perpetua 09: Journey to the Bay Pt. 01...

Making their way north, first to the bridge they’d rebuilt only days ago and then turning towards the seaside city of Calstega Bay in search fo answers.

Perpetua 05: The Flames of Burzin Pt 01
Friends at the Table
For millennia, the eastern continent of Perpetua was ruled by a sprawling empire centered on the capital city of Milsource, where a living river sprung from nothing, and flowed to all the edges of the land. The empire’s reach followed the running water, stretching north across the territory of the clannish Elevana and south, where the empire put leash to the fractious burroughs. It was a time of Tyranny.. But one day, a thousand years ago, the river was mysteriously pulled away into the sea, leaving the empire as dry and cracked as the riverbeds it left behind. Soon, it passed into...
info_outlineWith the information they need secured, the adventurers sent by the Hundred Burroughs begin to gather together and make their final survey of Perpetua’s western continent before returning east. But some of the most dangerous creatures (and people) are yet to be discovered.
This week on Friends at the Table: Perpetua Prelude 06
PERPETUA PRELUDE - GUIDE
Random Encounters - [PPRE]
If you’ve reached the world map, you know that during travel there’s always a chance of hitting a “Journey Event” (aka a random encounter if you’re using regular words). Most of these are just fights against the enemies tied to that area (go to ‘Enemy Locations [PPEL]’ for more on that), but there’s a low percentage chance that you’ll get either an NPC dialog encounter, a mini-location/dungeon, or a special fight that’s different than the normal enemy ones.
We haven’t figured out all of these yet, so make sure to add any you find on the pinned post on the forum!
Dog Chase [REDL]: I don’t know why it’s called this given that it isn’t really a dog at all, BUT it is really a chase. If you’re trying to trigger this event, try to stay near the plains or hills, and MAKE SURE your party is led by someone with high Dex so that you have a good shot of succeeding.
Hexcloak Interrogation [REHC]: This can happen even before you make it to their secret base. There are a TON of random questions they can ask you, and I’m still working on building a guide for all the answers. The short version is that you should always choose the options that admit that you’re a little bit guilty of something. If you try to plead innocence, it’ll turn into a fight EVEN IF YOU ARE INNOCENT! But if you tell them you’re a little guilty, you can get out of the encounter with just a bribe or even scott free. BTW: Arley cannot trigger this event, maybe because he’s an elf!
The Clock Tolls [REGC]: At the end of every week when traveling near Grand Sonnerie, the bell attached to that big clock they have rings, and there’s a random buff or debuff applied to your WHOLE PARTY. You can get various elemental resistances or weaknesses, debuffs like enraged or confused, or even major boons like being fully healed. Be careful though because there’s a really small chance that one of your party members will just die.
