The goal of these rules is create a fall back scenario for when the party is stuck someplace and unable to return to town during the session. We are also aiming for a dark and dangerous campaign theme that can be throughout the lore and house rules.

Returning to Town

The party should plan to return to town within the time allotted for the real-life session.

This return can be quicker to resolve than the travel out, since encounters along the way have likely already been resolved. However, the full amount of game-world time required to return should still be recorded.

If the party fails to plan for their return, or is still stuck in a dungeon at the end of the session, the GM may roll consequences to simulate a hurried and dangerous return to town.

First, roll for each player. There is a 50% chance that the character returns to town unscathed.

If they do not return unscathed, the GM will roll on a Hurried Return table.
