Love letter from my Dungeon World DM #1

Dear Zeguvra,

You went out on a routine mapping expedition for the Cartographers Guild because of the promise of a newly Shifted sewage system that might lead you to answers about why Odenki saved you. What you found was a massive, damp sepulcher occupied by the maddest, and only sphinx you’ve ever seen.

 It was absolute chaos once the fight began. Most of the other mercenaries sent on the expedition were scattered in a flurry of sharp claws and nonsensical syntax. In the midst of trying to keep people alive, and asking a few questions about the nature of the world, you were sent careening into a pool of brackish water by an errant swing of one of the sphinxes massive paws.

Your armor protected you from the force of the blow, and your immunity to drowning meant you didn’t have to find out whether or not the water was what induced the sphinx to insanity, but you did find what you were originally after. As you sunk to the bottom of the pool you saw a vision. It was as if you were peering through a window into the Deep Sweet Waters, and through that window you could see a location submerged therein. You knew once you saw it that if you could get to that place then Odenki would be waiting for you.

What place did you see, and who (if anyone) did you share this vision with? {I told Ricarrio, the mama's-boy mercenary who brought his old mother Angelina along to cook for us, and my confessor in town, a high-ranking priestess of Odenki by the name of Cora.  Angelina is a follower of Odenki, though the religion has become all superstitions and old wives' tales and things.  Zegruva's relationship with Cora is good, intimate, but complicated both by Cora's idol-worship and attempts to ensnare Zegruva in Odenki's religious hierarchy.}

Have fun with those answers. I know I will.

Sincerely,

Your GM
