You wake up . . . (roll a d6)You lost a powerful artifact at some point last night. Retrace your steps to reclaim what is yours. Many things are possible about last night, but since you were drunk, you don’t remember any of them. Perhaps you met a being akin to a god, you visited another plane, you destroyed something extraordinary, or your lost item drastically changed something while it was gone.
You wake up . . . (roll a d6)
1 In the bed of an enemy or rival
2 In a lavishly decorated room that has been utterly trashed
3 Surrounded by fallen foes
4 In a jail cell surrounded by guards
5 In a pocket dimension very unlike your reality
6 On the back of a galloping creature
After checking your possessions you find that you are missing an immensely important artifact. This is extremely distressing because . . . (choose two)
It was entrusted to you by a dear friend
It is needed for a monumentally important ceremony
It has the potential to destroy the world
You will die without it
You will have need of it very soon
You notice that you have an unexpected companion. This person . . . (roll a d6)
1 Treats you as if you have a totally different personality
2 Keeps alluding to a fight that happened last night
3 Refuses to leave you alone, insisting you owe him or her something
4 Is apparently now married to you
5 Speaks to you as though you have been friends for years
6 Does not speak a language you understand
Retracing your steps brings you to an unsavory corner of the universe: the sort of place most people avoid at all costs. You don’t remember being here, but the creatures who frequent this place eye you with a sense of familiarity. What is this place?

Who is in charge here? ______________________
After talking to someone who had a clearer idea of what happened to you last night than you did, you discover what happened to the artifact. The only way to get it back will be . . . (roll a d6)
1 Making an uncomfortable apology
2 Winning a large contest
3 Performing an elaborate heist
4 Confronting an old enemy
5 Assuming a false identity
6 Traveling through time
How does your new companion help prepare you for this task?
Roll a d6 to see how your attempt to reclaim what was lost goes:
1 It is destroyed in your attempt to reclaim it.
2 The person you’d least like to know what you did discovers it.
3 The artifact ends up in more trustworthy hands than yours.
4 You reclaim the artifact, but it is permanently changed.
5 You reclaim the artifact, but you are nearly killed in the process.
6 You reclaim the artifact, and it is as if nothing ever happened.
As you and the collection of creatures you met on this adventure share a drink, what do you feel you have learned?
