LUKOMORIE
and the tree
Treasure.
The riches of Lukomorie cannot be described in numbers.
If they survive, adventurers will definitely exit with enough
valuables to sustain their adventure existence.
Power.
The treasures are not only valuable in gold, but also give
their users unnatural powers (however, what is natural in
this world?). But be cautious, they might be dangerous in
the wrong hands.
Glory.
Defeating Koschei, that has been haunting the neighboring
lands for centuries, will make the adventurers very
popular. More opportunities might arise from this.
Knowledge.
The cat that speaks, Baba Yaga, and Koschei know a lot
about magic and overall state of the universe. Speaking
their advice is beneficial to those looking to gain
information about almost anything.
Lukomorie (pronounced lu-ko-mor’-yé) is a fictional place that
belongs to slavic folklore.

1 - The Shore
The adventurers start here. They awake on a beach with
their belonging soaking wet. What is their last memory?

As they start collecting themselves, they notice old artefacts

buried in the sand. Treasures of the sea tsar.

After several minutes, they are approached by 3 Vityaz who

ask the party to leave the beach and surrender any treasures
collected. Vityaz will attack if the adventures do not
comply. If the party spends too long on the beach or fights,
more Vityaz come from the sea in groups of 3 until there
are 30 of them.

If all 30 of the Vityaz are somehow defeated or manipulated

into peace, The Sea Tsar rises from the waves. It is a
powerful godlike being, impossible to cast magic against or
harm with weapons. The Sea Tsar will congratulate the
party and offer them infinite life in its domain as its most
trusted guardians. The catch is that they won't be allowed
or be able to live on land ever again.

From the beach a very tall tree can be seen. Some of its
roots are in the water’ some on the sand. A golden chain is
sparkling on the sunlight, hanging from the tree’s branches.

d6 Treasures of The Sea Tsar

1 Sea coin. The best currency to use on the seabed.
2 Sword of tidal waves. Activated when the moon is
directly above the user.
3 A broken echo crown. If worn, gives the user the
ability to speak to dolphins and whales.
4 Shield of sand. This shield looks like a mix between
sand and glass. It is fragile but razor sharp.
5 Glass of water. It’s just a glass of water. The water
tastes delicious and refills itself after each sip.
6 Fishing rod. Someone must have left it. Could
someone in the nearby village be looking for it?
2 - The Tree
It is an old oak tree. The highest branches seemingly reach the
sky itself. A golden chain is hanging from the tree wrapped
around its trunk. A cat that speaks is pacing on this chain.
If the party disturbs the tree in any way a Rusalka sitting on one
of the branches will make herself known by screaming at them.
She is actually trying to get the party listen to her new song. She
will be very upset if they don’t like her song. She will give her
magic mirror to the adventurer who likes the song.
The cat that speaks will talk to the party any chance it gets. It
wrote a lot of poems and would like to read them to everyone.
The cat will advise adventurers not to damage the chain, or
remove it. If that happens, The Tree falls into the sea and the sky
collapses, plunging the world into darkness.
3 - The Forest
The densest and darkest forest the adventurers have ever
seen. Probably the only way out of this mess.
Baba Yaga resides here in her cabin that stands on two
chicken legs. Only Baba Yaga can control the position of the
cabin. When the adventurers find her, she is preparing
some potions. She will ask the party to help her by
collecting some herbs. If refused, she tries to poison them.
Koschei is lost in the wooods, and would like someone to
escort him to the nearest town.
Leshy is looking after some animals in the forest. He will
become become very nervous if he spots the adventurers. If
they do not follow the forest path, he will cry.
