00001101.

Thundering river,

An endless flood of vehicles,

All identical.

I cross the rickety bridge,

Resentful of the tollman.

Encounter: The Bridgebuilder's Impasse

Frustrated with interruptions to the flow of commerce, a local caravan magnate has hired your party to slay the giant who's repeatedly destroyed the bridge spanning a turbulent river causing delays and costly detours across the realm. The one wrinkle to this otherwise straightforward mission is that the giant is the one who built the bridge in the first place, and rather than hunting a rampaging monster you and your companions have signed on to assassinate a beloved local artisan.

Whoever said “two heads are better than one” never met the giant Gilbult Gultib (or Gultib Gilbult, as he often insists) who far more embodies the adage “Every artist is their own worst critic”.  Immensely talented in stonecutting and engineering, Gilbult (or Gultib depending on who you ask) has been building and rebuilding the same bridge for the better part of two centuries, sometimes letting it stand for a generation, sometimes scrapping it and starting over several times over the course of the same month. 

With a perfectionist streak as wide as the river he's trying to cross, neither head can agree how, muchless when the bridge should be finished, agreeing only that what came before will be insufficient going forward and that they must return to the drafting board once again.

Adventure Hooks:

The locals are of divided opinion about Gultib Gilbult, most regard him as something of a curiosity, as much a fixture of the landscape as the river itself, while others see him as a gruff but otherwise pleasant neighbour or family friend. There's a very vocal minority that wish that he would get on with building the bridge, or else move and leave the maintenance to someone who won't tear it down on a whim, especially the merchants who end up paying an arm and a leg on unexpected barge fees. There's been an uptick in those actively calling for the giant to be driven off, all of which just so happen to be in the pay of the local quarry owner, who's in talks with the Caravan magnate about the construction of a tollbridge in the near future.

Having reached a new low of indecision, the giant has resulted to gambling with himself to decide the composition of this version of the bridge, anteing particular stones against himself in the hope that luck and strategy will let the superior side of his mind win out. This is just as much a stalemate as any other, but may present an opportunity for the party to resolve the situation without violence.

The tricky thing about accepting adventuring contracts from successful merchants is that they're VERY good at paperwork, and while this one did come with a sizeable advance, the fine print threatens numerous penalties (including debt and possible outlawing) if the party don't fulfill their end of the bargain and take out the giant in a timely manner.

If they do build a @chickfila in @colliertownship, this may help assuage the traffic fears. #Bridgeville #SouthFayette #I79 #tollbridge #CollierTownship #ChickFilA #ChartiersValley https://www.instagram.com/p/CdlvUWDJkpY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A #coveredbridge (and a #tollbridge to boot) I ran into while at work. Well, a pair of #coveredbridges , actually, but one is apparently out of order and the other was built as a replacement. Somehow I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that there was something medieval about them, or at least medieval-fantasy-ish. I suspect the DM in a #dungeonsanddragons campaign would have the villagers ask the PCs to help them get rid of the band of goblins who had been camping out at the overgrown bend just beyond the bridge and ambushing travellers who passed that way.

We've been over the Tacoma Narrows bridge more times than I like to count this weekend. I hope they're doing something good with the toll money I've paid! I can't help but wonder, though the spans were built at different times, why didn't they match them more closely? . . #tacomanarrows #bridge #tollbridge #washingtonstate #madewithpixlr #bridgeporn (at Tacoma Narrows Bridge)
