Friar Deep's Adventure Generator

Friar Deep's Adventure Generator

The following is a random adventure generator is an adventure in a story format where capitalized words are replaced with words from the corresponding tables. For example TABLE A : OCCUPATION is replaced by Mercenaries. Once each space has been filled a simple adventure skeleton will be formed. Put a little meat on the bones so to speak changing or adding to the words. For example TABLE F : TERRAIN is replaced by Hills then replaced with the Hillocks of the White Horse. As always alter as needed.

In a time long ago, a band of mighty heroes challenged both men and gods. An unlikely band of TABLE A : OCCUPATION where spurred into action by TABLE B : HOOK. The heroes are TABLE C : MOTIVE to go on a quest to TABLE D: ACTION the TABLE E : GOAL. They must travel trough TABLE F : TERRAIN to the TABLE G : PLACE. Along the way they must deal with TABLE H : HAZARD in a TABLE G : PLACE, TABLE I : MINOR VILLIAN in a TABLE G : PLACE, and TABLE K : MONSTER in a TABLE G : PLACE. In their travels they meet an TABLE K : ALLY. When they finally reach the destination they must deal with TABLE H : HAZARD, TABLE I : MINOR VILLIAN, and TABLE K : MONSTER. The ally they made arrives to help them. The heroes discover a TABLE L : TWIST which changes the situation. In a final scene of TABLE M : CLIMAX with the TABLE N : MAJOR VILLIAN they triumph and return the way they came and receive a TABLE O : REWARD. What became of the heroes is another tale yet to be told.
