Unlike the rest of this level, which is carved into solid stone, this room's floor is covered in flagstones.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Four levers are set into a wall (roll each time to determine which wall; they shift).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The <b>first lever</b> is set with a four-leafed clover emblem in its handle. Roll 1d8 to determine the effect on the first character to pull it:</span></p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">-4 to random stat</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">-3 to random stat</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">-2 to random stat</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">-1 to random stat</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">+1 to random stat</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">+2 to random stat</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">+3 to random stat</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">+4 to random stat</span></li></ol><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">This lever disappears after the first time it is pulled, never to be seen again. If you think up a good idea for a lever, put it here with a 1/6 chance to appear each time the party enters the room.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The <b>second lever</b> is set with an arrow pointing down. If it is pulled, the entire room drops down to the second level. Pushing the lever up brings the room back up to the first level. The room only has enough energy for 1d4 level shifts before it must recharge for 2d4 turns.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The <b>third lever</b> is engraved with a skull. If it is pulled, a <i>Stone Construct</i> pulls itself out of the flagstone floor for each character (PC <i>and</i> NPC) in the room. They immediately attack. They will pursue the party throughout the dungeon, but will not leave the dungeon. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">If they are not all defeated the constructs re-set and this lever only appears on subsequent visits to the room with a 1/6 chance. If the constructs are all defeated this lever disappears, never to be seen again. It can also be replaced with a lever and effect of your choice which appears with a 1/6 chance.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Each construct leaves a hole containing a treasure chest. Each chest contains enough coin to bring the PC furthest from leveling up to the next level and then halfway to the next level.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The <b>fourth lever</b> is set with an emblem of a salamander. If pulled, a <i><a href="http://grognardling.blogspot.com/2012/04/key-eater-box.html">key eater box</a></i> clatters to the floor. It is <i>Lock #2</i>.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">If successfully opened (wait until then to keep yourself in suspense too), roll 1d6 to determine the contents:</span></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">A hairball. If burned, a flaming <i>salamander</i> emerges from the flames to attack a threat to the flame-setter. If a threat is present and obvious, the <i>salamander</i> attacks that; otherwise, it scuttles out of site and the party will discover its work in 2d4 encounters (the aftermath generally involves fire, ashes, and melted or burned things). The <i>salamander</i> is successful in dealing with the threat 4/6 of the time. The hairball radiates strong magic, but a sage will only be able to identify its function with a 1/4 chance – otherwise having no idea what it does or is; make a morale check to see if the sage makes something up or admits ignorance. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Three of the teeth of Dahlver-Nar.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">A full map of the fourth level – including secret doors. No room contents listed and nothing to indicate that this map is of the fourth level – or even a map of part of the dungeon.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">A full <i>Deck of Many Things</i>. The big one.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">A cursed <i>Broach of the Salamander</i>. Exquisite and worth 1d4 thousand gold. Any character wearing the <i>Broach</i> who receives damage bursts into magical, unquenchable flame which does 1d12 damage per round for 3d4 rounds, after which the curse is spent. Sages misidentify this as a broach which encourages enemies to attack others rather than the character wearing it 4/6 of the time. Per normal cursed items rules, the <i>Broach</i> – and any clothes it is pinned to – cannot be removed (without <i>Remove Curse</i> or similar) once it is worn.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ten small pellets, each with the effect of a random potion. Easily identified by a sage. Except one, which will be identified incorrectly.</span></li></ol><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Random Encounter</b></span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Kill Kittens. For those unfamiliar with these devious Arduin monsters, they look exactly like kittens. One will seem to be alone and injured.

He may suggest teaming up with the party against a stronger monster he believes has prime treasure (and he is correct in choosing treasure-rich targets 90% of the time). He may also betray the party if they have particularly choice treasure on their person – powerful magic items or lots of loot on their way out of the dungeon, for example. He will become very loyal for 3d4 months if the party gives him valuable treasure – a choice magic item or over 1000 gp – and resist any attempts by his sister to kill the party.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Neither dragon is stupid or evil for the sake of evil.

If we wanted total control, we would write short stories, novellas and novels, <i>not play RPGs</i>. The dice are the mechanism by which we cede that control – they are the means by which player choices are validated every time they choose to do something dangerous. -<a href="http://bloodofprokopius.blogspot.com/2011/07/on-dice-and-freedom.html">FrDave</a></div><div style="font-style: normal; "><br/></div><div style="font-style: normal; ">Enforcing the written rules is a small part of being a good DM. In my experience the players will respect that you want to keep the game moving as long as they are convinced that you are not an adversarial DM. I can smile while giving my players all sorts of bad news. And they don't blink when I run roughshod over their notions of how D&D works. How can I get away with this? Because they trust that I'm there to have a good time <i>with</i> them, not <i>against</i> them. Show that you will call things down the middle, but will give them every chance when you're in a grey area. Let them use and abuse the tricks on their character sheets and the crazy plans they come up with. Then when you kill them they'll understand that it wasn't anything personal. -<a href="http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/10/ditchin-minis.html">Jeff Rients</a></div></div> </div> <div class='clear'></div> </div><div class='widget BlogList' data-version='1' id='BlogList1'> <h2 class='title'>Blogroll</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <div class='blog-list-container' id='BlogList1_container'> <ul id='BlogList1_blogs'> <li style='display: block;'> <div class='blog-icon'> </div> <div class='blog-content'> <div class='blog-title'> <a href='http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/' target='_blank'> Playing D&D With Porn Stars</a> </div> <div class='item-content'> <span class='item-title'> <a href='http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2025/02/internationally-acclaimed-author-lydia.html' target='_blank'> Internationally Acclaimed Author Lydia Davis Discussing The RPG Community Specifically </a> </span> <div class='item-time'> 1 day ago </div> </div> </div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </li> <li style='display: block;'> <div class='blog-icon'> </div> <div class='blog-content'> <div class='blog-title'> <a href='http://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/' target='_blank'> Elfmaids & Octopi</a> </div> <div class='item-content'> <span class='item-title'> <a href='http://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2025/02/enough-hats-in-your-game-settings.html' target='_blank'> Enough hats in your game settings? </a> </span> <div class='item-time'> 1 day ago </div> </div> </div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </li> <li style='display: block;'> <div class='blog-icon'> </div> <div class='blog-content'> <div class='blog-title'> <a href='http://lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com/' target='_blank'> Lurking Rhythmically</a> </div> <div class='item-content'> <span class='item-title'> <a href='http://lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com/2025/02/petition-for-certiorari-filed-in.html' target='_blank'> Petition for Certiorari Filed in Antonyuk v.
