Story Encounter: Bizarre Love Triangle

[Hateful Darkblack]

Bizarre Love Triangle (PDF)

"I'm not sure what this could mean;

I don't think you're what you seem."

Setup

This scenario only works for 3 or more players.

Choose a seating order for players.

Each player nominates the player to their right as their Chosen Love. (Note: This doesn't have to be romantic love. It could be hero worship, parental protectiveness, admiration, desire for friendship,or whatever.)

Place a Flower Patch in the center of the table. This should be a Forest terrain piece at least 2" across, up to 5" across.

Special Rules

As a (1)Interact action, any Master in base contact with the Flower Patch can pluck a flower. Each Master can only perform this action once per Encounter. A Master that plucks a flower also gains Harmlessuntil the Harmless effect ends. If you have multiple Masters or a Master that dies and comes back, each Master can pluck a flower.

When you pluck a flower, flip and consult the following table:

(Flower meanings are inspired from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_flowers.)

I wrote this Story Encounter a while ago, as an attempt to write three story encounters, all designed for three players, all around the theme of Spring.

Finally got this one playtested last weekend. Thanks to lifeblood and the other playtesters (whose names I didn't get) for testing it out.
