My players are going to be infiltrating a land lighthouse (same purpose, just as land) that sits on the opening of the only large pass on the south end of the Trielta Hills. In my game, the Zhentarium have militarized, taken over this landlight compound as a forward operating base, and are actively setting up a seige cannon. My players will be tasked with infiltrating, gathering intel, sabotaging the cannon, and maybe helping out the prisoners/slaves - quietly. If they are discovered, a red lantern will be run up the tower signalling the army outside of the camp something is wrong. This is based on old coastal warning towers where weather flags and lanterns would be used along side light houses to signal various hazards. In my game, it is used to signal if the pass is open/closed and weather. For this game, its a threat to the players. Need to add pigments, washes, and details to the tower, as well as finish the base.

Long time listener, first time caller...I'm Snyder from SW Ohio and I like long walks on the beach...no wait, wrong group...Been DMing for about 5 years now and looking forward to learn more and make my games better. 5E As a fun introduction...I give my players stupid little puzzles that have no bearing on the game. If they solve, it comes with prizes or bonus levels. In my last session, my players found a coin on one of the ̶m̶u̶r̶d̶e̶r̶h̶o̶b̶o̶e̶d̶ bodies from an encounter. On one side was the sigil of Baal/Bhaal and the other a figure with a peg leg. They stewed on it and someone said Diablo 2. I then held up a print out of the difficulty selection screen of Diablo 2 an put the secret cow level on the table. The bonus was refilling 2 spell slots, charges, abilities, or features, their choice.
