Runequest / Glorantha Scenrasio by Jonstown Compendium / Chaosium
The Straw Weaver clan of the Bison Tribe warmly invite you to their omen-taking, oh honoured guests! Travel with a hospitable clan, learn how they live upon the dusty plains of Prax, and finally join them in the omen-taking ritual that will determine their next move.
Then, when things inevitably go off-track, hit something!
Bad Omens is a stand-alone adventure for RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, which takes in Prax. It can be run for any level of party. Those who have met the Straw Weavers in other adventures, and those who have not, are equally welcome, with simple plot hooks available for everyone. NPC descriptions fill out the clan, and Beer With Teeth’s high quality writing fills out the area. The adventure takes 1-2 sessions to complete, depending on how much detail goes into the everyday life of the clan, and whether the adventurers simply run when faced with the main problem.
There is plenty do to for the less violent, and there is a route of play without combat, but more martial players will be entertained by training and challenges from the Straw Weavers as they travel, and a horrible, horrible beast.
Meet the new shaman Affada, once apprentice to the great Erhehta, now a newly-awakened shaman running her first major ritual. Everything has been prepared correctly. Surely nothing will go wrong?
Bad Omens is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
