Encounter & Loot Generator

Lore Keeper

World: The Slate Reach.
Tone: low-fantasy, grounded. Magic is rare and a little dangerous. Not grimdark, but consequences are real.
Era: late iron age. Crossbows are common. Plate armor exists but is the mark of the very wealthy.
Magic: arcane casters are mistrusted in most cities. Divine magic is tied to specific temples. No flashy area-effect spells; subtle magic is the norm.
Key regions:
- Vauldcross - the city the party is currently in. Trade hub, mostly run by guilds.
- The Iron Order - a militant order based two days east of Vauldcross. Currently expanding influence.
- The Reach - the rural backcountry, sparse villages, old roads, half-forgotten ruins.
System: 5e. House rule: critical hits are max damage plus a roll, not double dice.

Setting

Four players, all currently level 3.

- Mira (halfling rogue 3) - lies for fun, has a soft spot for street kids. Owes a debt to a Vauldcross fence named Pell.
- Brann (human fighter 3, soldier background) - ex-Iron Order, deserted after refusing an order. Wants to stay quiet about it.
- Sister Olwen (half-elf cleric 3 of the Silver Lantern) - quiet, watchful, has been having unsettling dreams since they arrived in Vauldcross.
- Reno (tiefling wizard 3, sage background) - copies every spell he can get his hands on. Curiosity over caution every single time.

Party dynamic: Brann and Mira are old friends. Olwen and Reno joined recently and are still feeling each other out.

Party

- Pell (human, fence) - operates out of a candle shop in Vauldcross. Holds Mira's debt. Friendly but transactional. Last interaction: gave the party a tip on the Iron Order convoy in exchange for a favor TBD.
- Captain Idris Tarn (human, Iron Order officer) - recognized Brann at the city gates two sessions ago. Did not call him out. Reason unclear. Tense.
- Sister Hesta (human, Silver Lantern senior) - Olwen's mentor. Currently in the capital, sending letters. Worried about what Olwen has been dreaming.
- Old Garrick (human, retired guard, runs The Bent Nail inn) - friendly, gossipy, knows everyone in the lower city. Party currently lodging here.

Active NPCs

Low-fantasy, grounded. Parchment cream on dark slate. Serif type with small caps for section headers. Tight, dense layouts (this is a campaign tool, not a dashboard). Thin tarnished-gold borders to delineate sections. Monospace for stat blocks and dice. Looks like a campaign notebook, not a fantasy app.
