/ping @wobin and @scarydan

@drbuttocks @scarydan hm, we need a source of the time loop, the setting and the reason for the insertion. You could make it not obvious a loop with death, but perhaps start with a preamble description and then when the loop occurs, just launch into the preamble straight faced, not even acknowledging the reset or even the abrupt change of subject...

@wobin @scarydan
I'm tossing around the idea of something they do in the adventure immediately preceding it being the cause of the loop starting. Not directly their actions, but like a cascade of things that flow on from it.

@wobin @scarydan
I do like that idea of it not necessarily being their death that's the reset point.

@drbuttocks @scarydan sleeping might be problematic but certainly a hidden trigger otherwise

@wobin
Been doing some plotting with a mild drunk to get the juices flowing. Got the loop coming from interference from the wobbly time effects of the Feywild.

@wobin
Main cause is far away, but they'll be able to traverse the Feywild to get there (where they'll be subject to loops again). Also gonna make them work with a villain who escaped them previously.
Still need the setup (I want an immediately earlier adventure to lead into this and involve a burrowing monster - the "groundhog") and specifics of what they encounter in the Feywild along the way but I'm comfortable with the outline of the arc right now

@drbuttocks I can see the approach of the Ground Hog as being a giant burrowing creature, but also consider an a endless swarm of burrowing creatures could be very terrifying with how it could control the battleground =D

@wobin
Am considering a bulette or umber hulk for combat solutions, or a young brass dragon that they need to find a place for and convince, so far

@wobin
Will probably have to be very metaphorical with the meaning of "groundhog" :P

@drbuttocks giant beaver that's chewing down trees in the Feywild and causing issues cause of that =D

@drbuttocks I mean, there's nothing stopping you from taking the bulette stats and 'reskinning' it =)
