Around the central tower were once arrayed four smaller towers. The south and west towers are intact, but the upper levels of the north and east towers have crumbled into ruin. The four exterior towers were originally linked by stairs that wound around the exterior of the central spire. The spire may thus be entered from seven locations: from the stairs within the bell tower that lead down to 2, from the entrances to 5 and 7 on the exterior stairs connecting the two remaining exterior towers, or from the doorways into the base of each of the four exterior towers 10, 11, 12 and 13 on the top of the keep at level four. </span><span style="text-align: left; text-indent: 48px;">The keep itself is sealed by two large portcullises that are rusted into place. </span><span style="text-align: left; text-indent: 48px;">All areas above the keep are submerged, except for the bell tower at low tide. Unless otherwise noted, the floors of all submerged room are covered by 6 inches of silt. </span><span style="text-indent: 48px;">For wandering monsters, use <a href="http://www.maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-submerged-spire-wandering-monsters.html">this</a> table. </span><span style="text-indent: 48px;">(You may use </span><a href="http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/11/simple-underwater-rules.html" style="text-indent: 48px;">these</a><span style="text-indent: 48px;"> all purpose rules for underwater adventuring.) </span><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <span style="color: #444444;"><b>1. The Bell Tower [Not shown on map]</b></span><br /> An arched entryway leads from the parapet into the onion dome of the central tower. Like all the exterior doorways in the tower, it is faintly inscribed with the traces of (now defunct) magical runes. It is possible to walk inside the dome, in about 1 foot of water at low tide. Much of the space is taken up by a massive metal bell that now lies on its side in the water, covered in a layer of barnacles and green rust. If these are scraped away, the bell will be revealed to be beautifully worked bronze, previously inlaid with lapis lazuli and gems. These gems were pried off some time ago, although 25gp worth of lapis lazuli can still be extricated with persistent effort. <span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">A narrow staircase leads down into the dark water.</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span> <span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">The third to last step down to 2 is trapped with magical runes. Stepping on it causes fleshy pink brambles to grow from the wall, encasing those on the bottom end of the stairs in a mass of thorns. Save vs. breath weapon or take 3d4 damage. It takes 10 minutes to hack someone free from one side, and another 10 minutes to clear a path through to the other side. (Formerly this trap also shut off the barrier on the dome that held out water, drowning the imprisoned trespasser. These barriers, once ubiquitous in the spire no longer function, except within the western wing of the keep.)</span></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <u><span style="font-size: large;">Level 1</span></u></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> </div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="color: #444444;"><b>2. Shrine to Aramesh [Central Tower]</b></span><br /> A barnacle encrusted marble statue occupies the north wall. It is vaguely humanoid, but a multitude of indistinct faces and limbs press out from it, as though they seek to escape the marble. There is an inscription at the base, which reads in ancient Ghinorian, “Hail Aramesh, ever flowering, whose body is home to infinite forms". Next to the statue there is a marble altar. Beneath a crust of barnacles and seaweed it is inlaid with lapis lazuli, tourmaline and black pearls. Along the west wall, several rusted flutes, and a wicked knife protrude from a pile of silt.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /> For each man-turn (10 min.) spent working at the altar, the pcs may take 100gp worth of precious stones up to 500gp in total. However, the finest of the stones—a large black pearl—is cursed. Removing it from the Spire activates the dreadful mutagens locked within it. Anyone carrying it out of the tower will be haunted by increasingly vivid dreams of twisting flesh running in rivulets and blossoming like rosebuds. On the first night these are experienced as fevered nightmares, leaving the owner of the pearl exhausted (-1 to all rolls). However, by the third night, and increasingly thereafter, the dreamer begins to experience them as strangely erotic and profoundly compelling, awakening with an unnatural vigor (+1 to all rolls). On the seventh night, the dreamer will realize that the flesh he has seen is his own, and Aramesh will claim her lover in an orgy of melting and blooming flesh. The only way to halt the effects of the mutagen is to return the pearl to her altar room. Should the pearl change possession, the curse will only spread to each of its successive owners. </div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <u><span style="font-size: large;">Level 2</span></u></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="color: #444444;"><b>3. Curios [Central Tower]</b></span><br /> This room once served to display wonders and curios. If players search the silt, they will discover the lacquered shell of a translucent crab (5gp), a pair of once-fine but now badly corroded swords fashioned of a queer iridescent metal (25 gp as a curiosity only), a small tarnished silver box engraved with fantastic representations of swirling waves and foaming sea (75 gp), and a clockwork canary that is corroded beyond use (worthless as is). A master clockmaker may repair the ingenious canary over a period of 2 weeks. Should he do so, it will play haunting lullabies when wound, no two ever the same. Someone listening to these songs while falling asleep has a 1 in 6 chance of arriving at The Unbidden Shores. [The dream lands.]  </div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="color: #444444;"><b>4. The Glowing Pillar [West Tower]</b></span><br /> A glass column, through which runs an eerie beam of green light, dominates the center of the room.The column is cracked and filled with water; where the cracks show, motes of green light spill from the glass into the surrounding water. The light emanates from a hole in the ceiling at the top of the glass column. At its bottom, copper tubes run from its base into the wall. Clustered around the cracks in the column are many Luminous Jellies. Sensing movement and life in the water, 1d8 jellies will attack. Should anyone be unfortunate enough use magic in the room, all the jellies will swarm towards her in a deadly, shining wave.<br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKNgMzK9OQyZJuu5Rxlvq8UvXOXwi1oFtv6Kd3LXP9UF3hPWj9blyRnWJGrpANdQq5BljR9nQ5J3TiSvh6FriG9v4GvM0_Zk4bAjm7cQ9su_-dGU_UyT29VFxIJAVFrFJq1L4K5p7pjt0/s1600/Luminescent+Jellies.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKNgMzK9OQyZJuu5Rxlvq8UvXOXwi1oFtv6Kd3LXP9UF3hPWj9blyRnWJGrpANdQq5BljR9nQ5J3TiSvh6FriG9v4GvM0_Zk4bAjm7cQ9su_-dGU_UyT29VFxIJAVFrFJq1L4K5p7pjt0/s320/Luminescent+Jellies.png" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <b>Luminous Jellies, Large</b> (x3) MV12" HD3+3 AC10 Att: Tentacles +3 1d6 + save vs. poison or temporarily lose 2 points of constitution. </div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>Luminous Jellies, Small</b> (x20) MV12" HD1 AC8 Att: Tentacles 1d4 + save vs. poison or temporarily lose 1 point of constitution.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> </div> </div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /> <b style="color: #444444;">5. </b><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Empty [South Tower]</b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> This circular room is 25’ feet in diameter with 12’ ceilings. On the east side of the room a staircase goes down. Dim light enters the room from two doorways to the exterior in the NW and NE side of the room, inscribed with faded runes. From them, stairs wind down along the exterior of the central tower. The NW stairs lead down to room 7 on Level 3. (Note that the final step into area 7 is trapped--see the description of area 7 below.) The NE stairs lead nowhere, having crumbled along with the eastern tower to which they once led.<br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> </div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <u><span style="font-size: large;">Level 3</span></u></div> <br /> <div> 6. <b>Open Room [Central Tower]</b></div> <div> Dappled natural light spills into this large open room from two doors that  lead out into the open ocean with views over the ruined debris of north and east towers to the base of the keep (Level 4). Fish swim freely through the space, and currents can be felt. (There is no silt on the floor here.) The west side of this room is largely taken up by a long stone table, inlaid with elegant tortoise-shell. Several remarkable chairs remain standing around the table: the opalescent shells of giant clams that have been fitted onto long bronze legs (200gp each, 3 total). On the east side of the room one small stone table remains, as well as some metal pokers. The secret door in the west wall of this room will is a door that pushes back and then slides along a track into the wall. It is now stuck and requires a bend bars check to open (or a combined strength of 30). It will not be easy to spot unless someone examines the wall closely. There is a 50% chance that the necrophidius is in his lair (7) and will emerge 3 rounds after the players enter the room. If not, there is a cumulative 10% chance per turn that it will return.</div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> 7.<b> Rainbow Coral (Trap) [West Tower]</b></div> <div> A set of wide copper pipes run down the west wall of this room from ceiling to floor. At the base of these pipes, a large rainbow coral has grown up that occupies the bulk of the western side of the room, partially blocking the steps going down. It emits a kaleidoscopic light. In this phantasmagoria, myriad fish swim and dart, traveling in and out of the open doors. It is truly a wonder to behold. The secret door in the eastern wall is clearly visible from this side. Two doorways, one NE and one SE, lead out to the steps that wind up around the central tower.<br /> <br /> Having absorbed the mutagens from the leaky pipes, the rainbow coral possesses strange alchemical properties. If a piece of it comes into contact with a magical object roll on the following chart (d10):</div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal"> </div> <div> <ol> <li>As it approaches the item, dazzling colored sparks fly between the two. If touched, they cannot easily be pried apart. (Bend bars check to separate them.)</li> <li>As it touches the item, the coral rapidly spreads like a fungus across and over the item, engulfing it. Before your eyes it gains in bulk and sprouts rocky tendrils. The coral will now grow at a rate of 1 cubic foot per turn. It will not be easy to extricate the item now with anything short of an acid bath.</li> <li>The item touched acquires a blackened look, while the coral pulsates with an inner light. It has absorbed the magical properties of the item. (If a potion, if can be consumed with the same effect, if a scroll, it acts as a ring of spell storing, etc..) </li> <li>The coral runs like a rainbow hued quicksilver, roiling over the surface of the object. Within 2 rounds it has been absorbed entirely by the object, which now has a rainbow sheen. The object is now more powerful.</li> <li>As it touches the object, the coral melts open. Within can be seen waving, layered cilia of a purple hue. Nestled in their center is a blackened nodule, like a dead black eye.</li> <li>As it touches the object, there is a horrible hissing sound, and a violet fluid sprays from the coral. Everyone in the area must save vs. breath weapon or be covered in a virulent mutagen. They should roll on <a href="http://www.lastgaspgrimoire.com/do-not-take-me-for-some-turner-of-cheap-tricks/#transmutation">this</a> chart. </li> <li>As it touches the object, a beautiful sound fills the water (or air), like the unearthly strains of a distant harp. Both tremble, like the petals of flowers in the breeze. </li> <li>As it touches the object, a pulse seems to flow from the coral into the object. The object is now unstable. Whenever it is used roll d6: 1-2 Fails to function, 3-4 Functions normally, 5 Functions more powerfully, 6 Explodes causing 4d6 damage to those within 25'. </li> <li>When it comes into contact the object their is a flash and everything looks for a moment like the negative of a photograph. The coral is now inert, and the power of the item is reversed. </li> <li>White light explodes from the point of contact, blinding all those within 50' for 1d6 rounds. Both the coral and the item are now spent and blackened. </li> </ol> </div> Wizards and alchemists would pay a fine price for an active chunk (1000gp for a single large chunk; the entire coral would fetch 10,000gp). Unfortunately, the coral is difficult to transport and highly dangerous. If simply broken off and exposed to air, a piece will harden and the magical properties will fade within one week of being harvested. To transport successfully with powers intact, the coral will have to remain in a tank with salt water, in close proximity to a constant source of magical power. (It will drain the magic from an item placed in a tank within 1 week.) Furthermore, those within 100' of the coral over an extended period of time, must save vs. poison or roll once on Logan Knight's <a href="http://www.lastgaspgrimoire.com/do-not-take-me-for-some-turner-of-cheap-tricks/#more-324">Transmutation</a> Table.<br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /> The staircase from the SE goes up to area 5 in the South Tower. Anyone who looks carefully at the bottom step in front of the SE door will notice a faint rectangle of runes inscribed within the stone. From the rectangle rises a 3'x3'x7' trapped area in the water in front of the door. Any human (or demi-human) sized object passing through this cube will trigger the trap, which causes the water in the warded area to instantly boil, causing 4d6 damage, save vs. breath weapon for half. There was an identical trap at one time on the NE doorway, but the top step has cracked and crumbled as the stairs collapsed, and the magical ward was broken. The room can be safely entered through this door.<br /> <br /> <div> 8. <b>Lair of the Necrophidius [South Tower]</b><br /> The floor of the room is littered with bones of various sizes. There is a particularly large pile along the south side of the room, and the light glints of several objects with the refuse. This is the lair of the huge Necrophidius that prowls the spire. There is a 50% chance that is here, and if not, a cumulative 10% chance per turn that it will return. The pile contains a bunch of a bunch of ancient Ghinorian cookware (20gp), and coins (10gp).<br /> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwmQlC2hWxn251horrDHpaOcvsHDAR4vgqaiPpzq5Q8PXRL-m-B1nMOTGv9tRVl0A3HB-F6QPh61pKwceyz9Z3P4FLeTlF5OVELt327M4fb8DR65E-pDuS1JMPvYRg4ThRoCdxVXvyII/s1600/Bestiary+2.tiff" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwmQlC2hWxn251horrDHpaOcvsHDAR4vgqaiPpzq5Q8PXRL-m-B1nMOTGv9tRVl0A3HB-F6QPh61pKwceyz9Z3P4FLeTlF5OVELt327M4fb8DR65E-pDuS1JMPvYRg4ThRoCdxVXvyII/s400/Bestiary+2.tiff" width="268" /></a></div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>Necrophidius</b> HD3 (24) AC2 Att: Bite 1d8+save vs. magic or be paralyzed for 1-4 turns.

Wide copper pipes run from the floor to the ceiling by the door on the west side of the room. Anyone who looks carefully at the roof of the keep directly in front of the door, will notice a faint rectangle of runes inscribed within the stone. This is a potent magical ward protecting the West Tower and the pillar housing the mutagens (area 7) from intruders. From the rectangle rises a 3'x3'x7' trapped area in the water in front of the door. Any human (or demi-human) sized object passing through this cube, will trigger the trap. A tremendous force will push the being upwards in a column of water, sending him all the way to the surface and 30' into the air. He must then save vs. paralysis. If he fails, he will black out for 1d10 rounds from the rapid change of pressure and the force of the impact when he hits the water on the return, taking 2d6 damage in the process. If he makes his save, he will retain consciousness and suffer only 1d6 damage. Any gear worn on his back or about his person will be thrown off, scattered and fall back into the sea, landing in a wide area. If he is going light, then he will float on the surface of the water and need to make his way back down. If he is going heavy, he will probably sink back to the bottom 100' from the keep in a random direction (d4: 1 North, 2 South, 3 East, 4 West). After the trap is triggered, there is a heartbeat before it resets. During this time it is possible to cross, if one moves very quickly. The player should make a dexterity check with a -4 penalty if he is <a href="http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/11/simple-underwater-rules.html">going heavy</a>, and no penalty if <a href="http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/11/simple-underwater-rules.html">going light</a>.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> 11. <b>Base of the South Tower (Empty) </b><br /> This circular room is 25’ feet in diameter with 12’ ceilings.

Starting 5' into to the room, thick white strands of viscous material run, crisscrossing from this rubble and fallen masonry, to the walls, forming a webbed interior. Suspended, nestling within the webbing, can be seen several white pods, roughly man-sized. Bones litter the floor, and among them there is a glint from metallic objects.<br /> <br /> This room is the lair of three Cenarachs, one of Sarpedon’s blended monstrosities. They have a human form, bent over backwards. From the base of the spine, think spider's legs emerge. The top of their head opens into a spidery maw, and above it are set eight black eyes. They cannot swim, and can only travel like crabs along the floor, or like spiders up a wall. They are intelligent and filled with hatred. There is a 50% chance that 1-3 are present in lair. For each turn spent in the room there is a cumulative 10% chance 1-3 will return. If one is attacked, it will send a telepathic call for help to the others, who will return in 1-6 rounds.<br /> <br /></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuANCzMTE4rYHtBHQRrXqZhorVEcTmfH7gJK09TfmHfoCly4I-IeMeOzKGyveCf1iBOKN4ODKtaAlKMUyj_6z5nfhQXP2vaBhIC_z9T7o1nkl_4ETaehaXMBTIfkCCiv2HE9zUe6M8HOM/s1600/tumblr_mqu0y2vXBi1r32unvo1_400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuANCzMTE4rYHtBHQRrXqZhorVEcTmfH7gJK09TfmHfoCly4I-IeMeOzKGyveCf1iBOKN4ODKtaAlKMUyj_6z5nfhQXP2vaBhIC_z9T7o1nkl_4ETaehaXMBTIfkCCiv2HE9zUe6M8HOM/s640/tumblr_mqu0y2vXBi1r32unvo1_400.jpg" width="443" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://acarr3ra.deviantart.com/">Alberto Carrera Avila</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="MsoNormal"> </div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /> <b>Cenarachs </b>HD4 (16, 18, 20) AC6 MV12" Att: Bite 1d6+poison save or die.

The ceilings are 20’ high, it is 100’ long and 30’ wide. Currents can be felt moving through the water here. In the center of the hall a spiral staircase winds up. At either end of the hall stand two massive portcullises, rusted into place. In front of the Southern portcullis, a massive figure stands facing out through its bars. He wears a black hooded cloak and seems to arise from a bewildering mass of tentacles. He is holding a silver spear in one hand. A blue shimmering cube surrounds him, as though he were within a flickering box of blue glass. [If the north portcullis is viewed from the exterior of the keep, this unmoving figure can be seen to wear a featureless silver mask.] This is the <b>The Tentacled Guardian. </b><br /> <br /> The three openings on the west wall shimmer blue. Beyond them can be glimpsed dry corridors. Along the east wall, only the north most opening shimmers. On the east, through all the openings, the same watery environment in the hall is visible. Should any of the blue shimmering fields in the hall be breached, the stasis field surrounding the Tentacle Guardian will drop. He is under a potent geas to pursue and kill intruders. He will take 1 round to shake off his torpor. At this point he will turn and face the hall. If he can see the PCs, he will move to attack. If none are visible, he will travel swiftly to area 15 in order to release the Bulbous Toucher, the Ctenophoric Maiden, and the Star Maw. They will then hunt the intrudes as a freakish pack. They know the layout of the keep and will use it to their tactical advantage, seeking to surprise the intruders, or drive them into an ambush.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij2eeey3g1_ktlCYaVscEy-YIuob1BRInteZ5KFXIBBKKgZhtVfqYY4rjJ0M1c_zLymGgTrsfc9MCsbUUk0Xi3u1s69Br6zdD2ByxhQhoNUzf9J8afXC_IteGRD90yM69af0xy7v0R328/s1600/Tentacle+Guardian+copy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij2eeey3g1_ktlCYaVscEy-YIuob1BRInteZ5KFXIBBKKgZhtVfqYY4rjJ0M1c_zLymGgTrsfc9MCsbUUk0Xi3u1s69Br6zdD2ByxhQhoNUzf9J8afXC_IteGRD90yM69af0xy7v0R328/s1600/Tentacle+Guardian+copy.png" width="273" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Chris Burdett</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="MsoNormal"> <o:p><br /></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>Tentacled Guardian</b> HD8 (40) AC2 Mv15' Att: Spear/Tentacle/Tentacle (1d6+4/1d4+2/1d4+2) + squeeze.

Digging through them is timely, since doing so will quickly stir up the silt, and occlude vision. A quick search will reveal useless items such as the corroded remains of metal tools (bone saws, hammers, etc.) , corroded piping, spools of copper wire, etc. A more methodical search over three man-turns, will turn up the following (semi) valuable objects: hatchet with a pearl handle (25gp), a round saw blade that is tarnished but intact (75gp), and an iridescent sealed metal tube (empty but waterproof, 100gp).<br /> <b><br /></b>17. <b>Container Storage</b><br /> Along the west wall metal cubes are stacked.

These capsules are filled with water, and seaweed. The fourth is intact, and inside an empty dry space can be seen. At the foot of the capsules, two polished balls of quartz are set, one pink and one yellow. These controls are inert in the three cracked capsules. Touching the pink quartz in the intact capsule will cause it float to shoulder height (5'). At this point it can be moved by gently pushing it along, no matter how heavy its load. (Otherwise, they weight 700 lbs each and are very difficult to move.) Touching the yellow quartz will cause the capsule to open with a hiss, the top swinging on a hinge. If it is opened in the water, it will fill quickly, and the controls will pop and cease to function. If opened in a dried environment, it can be resealed by snapping the lid back into place.

(They can be broken off, and will continue to glow for 1 hour before going dark forever.) </span><br /> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGs293nciBK6bVORQze0Da2Vj08P0LLEVRJ_hFHVOEhroKoUH3sybVE6Ocud6VdjWwq0JWVeIBrWc1eHpZDs9ZBHE1a-KCFmlj7ufHI7DMXxWppmEk56hqiWfJv5Nagqc3TJ-0Cz0TOvY/s1600/scott+musgrove.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGs293nciBK6bVORQze0Da2Vj08P0LLEVRJ_hFHVOEhroKoUH3sybVE6Ocud6VdjWwq0JWVeIBrWc1eHpZDs9ZBHE1a-KCFmlj7ufHI7DMXxWppmEk56hqiWfJv5Nagqc3TJ-0Cz0TOvY/s1600/scott+musgrove.jpg" width="272" /></a></div> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The special library was sealed to the outside elements by the magics protecting the doors to the north and south, and so remained dry when the barriers failed and the rest of the east wing became submerged. If either of these doors are opened, water will rush into the room, filling it floor to ceiling in 1 minute. Those opening the door must make a dexterity check or find themselves washed, head over heels, and thrown, disoriented about the room (1d4 dam, and 1 round recovery). Unfortunately, the ancient parchments and precious manuscripts in the room will not be able to withstand a rough immersion in salt water. If sturdier manuscripts are immediately hauled to a dry space (for example in the west wing), the DM may allow <i>some </i>portion of a few texts to survive, at his discretion. But if drastic and immediate action is not taken, you can assume that nothing from the following list survives. </span><br /> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span> Here is what the shelves contain<br /> <ul> <li>Reference works, some otherwise lost, on naturalism, alchemy, geology, demonology, divination (10,000gp total, an unbelievable addition to a wizard's library).</li> <li>Works of history and poetry written during the age of the Sorcerer Lords, some otherwise lost (1,000gp)</li> <li>Spells scattered throughout myriad books of diverse appearance, containing numerous spells [my players failed to acquire these, so I haven't recorded them yet] </li> <li>Twelve scrolls [ditto]   </li> </ul> <ul> </ul> 22. <b>Control Room</b></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> This 15x15 is dry and the air is breathable. However, as in area 21, if the PCs enter the room by opening a door from a submerged area (e.g. 23), then the room will fill up rapidly with water. The secret door from room 23 is plainly visible here, appearing as a stone door with a handle. (Touching the handle causes the door to melt away, as in area 23.) In the NW corner of this 15x15 room, there is an L-shaped stone table, into which 3 balls of polished quartz have been set: (1) Yellow with red streaks, (2) Grey, (3) Pink. The south wall has a bust of Sarpedon. He is very handsome and wears a smirk on his face. Pushing in one of Sarpedon's eyes opens the secret door to the south that leads into area 21. If a PC touches one of the crystal balls, then it will begin to hum, and lights will rise from its depths to flicker across its surface. Here are the effects of touching them.<br /> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><u>Ball 1</u>: This is a viewer.

On the east wall, an ornate metal picture frame still stands bolted to the wall, although the picture itself was destroyed long ago. The frame is decorated with the sun, moon and stars. Pressing on the sun causes the secret door to area 22 to open--the wall literary melts away revealing the room. (Note that this will submerge area 22.) A search in the silt reveals odds an ends--a corroded metal brush, a queer copper bandolier, some empty jars. <br /> <br /> 24.<b> Privy</b><br /> This room contains two privies. Along the east wall, a stone table is set into the wall. Over a copper basin stained with verdigris a faucet emerges from the wall.

To the east, beyond a shimmering blue curtain, the water of area 14 can be seen, as though through the wall of an aquarium. A stone arch leads south, and a fine wooden door is set in the SE wall. The room has a pungent, acrid odor.<br /> <br /> Running up the long north wall, there is rack upon rack of orderly arrangements of bones and skulls of every imaginable shape and size. The more unusual pieces are set in brass frames. From within glass cases, skins of diverse kinds are stretched, including one from which hanging faces peer. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidq_1saXDXgvrz2QjQxY_zk2_TTb6-g7nkp330OWqK5Vnoh9PEsnsBq2-6Hl96o55aZbluj1g0gOB1ojL-n8Xf4PFmWjbNogMVldc1xZdQaR5IazhbBmPrC1R1EcIaiGgApepOMueJHgM/s1600/skull_library.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidq_1saXDXgvrz2QjQxY_zk2_TTb6-g7nkp330OWqK5Vnoh9PEsnsBq2-6Hl96o55aZbluj1g0gOB1ojL-n8Xf4PFmWjbNogMVldc1xZdQaR5IazhbBmPrC1R1EcIaiGgApepOMueJHgM/s1600/skull_library.jpg" width="266" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgur6ENGvRbmUXmfEB2cjXyR4VjPjGQ3hpO2TVPG1lpZgPtP7QcdQJQnz19MCCP3CgOAR4ONV6RlBlCgtC3M1cE_FeJM1cf74DdQc-IMw0i7CkseYpWeZXdbmRdTZFXedNgJIRemDqOg/s1600/tumblr_mrqyp5wP821sd6jweo1_250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNgur6ENGvRbmUXmfEB2cjXyR4VjPjGQ3hpO2TVPG1lpZgPtP7QcdQJQnz19MCCP3CgOAR4ONV6RlBlCgtC3M1cE_FeJM1cf74DdQc-IMw0i7CkseYpWeZXdbmRdTZFXedNgJIRemDqOg/s1600/tumblr_mrqyp5wP821sd6jweo1_250.jpg" width="265" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgolLMuW3KfMtJh-5XkcRTpW81C7cVm9sZ9X-pwmCiv_d3FthFOfXYv-NeLnYad71hhrzjdoO_xWi8tVHod-rdzNfTHOMmUPTqdcavFMw3-SW1PsSlOrF1UgqvweYtv2nrviiWxBKlXXgg/s1600/Unknown-3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgolLMuW3KfMtJh-5XkcRTpW81C7cVm9sZ9X-pwmCiv_d3FthFOfXYv-NeLnYad71hhrzjdoO_xWi8tVHod-rdzNfTHOMmUPTqdcavFMw3-SW1PsSlOrF1UgqvweYtv2nrviiWxBKlXXgg/s1600/Unknown-3.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> In front of this strange display, a massive heavy wooden worktable stands, on which are laid various odds and ends of bones, wires, tubing, and fine metal tools (200gp).<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTibZJAjRLJ_tGCAh4pSCDa2odRzuF1A6Ogp6z86KW2-SvWLZ8D4gv9KMRFeux8MVcMwsfWqxpaJnwNfd3j7DEcgDHXVzvB6fWsFVb-qaacDXSYv1-vuWDa-lKRTpH2G4zaHbo5J7BYhQ/s1600/tumblr_mhv9udjXE81rbnizso1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTibZJAjRLJ_tGCAh4pSCDa2odRzuF1A6Ogp6z86KW2-SvWLZ8D4gv9KMRFeux8MVcMwsfWqxpaJnwNfd3j7DEcgDHXVzvB6fWsFVb-qaacDXSYv1-vuWDa-lKRTpH2G4zaHbo5J7BYhQ/s1600/tumblr_mhv9udjXE81rbnizso1_500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> In the north west corner of the room an old, wooden grandfather clock stands. The face of a satyr glowers down form the top, and a glass door shows the pendulum within, which no longer swings. Springing the glass case opens the secret door to area 32. Along the south wall, west of the stone arch, three large (5' tall, 5' diameter) stone tubs stand. Hanging from racks on the wall are a variety of large tools: long handled spoons and tongs, huge metal pans, a massive stretching rack, saws. If approached, the pungent odor in the room seems to be emanating from the tubs. They are storage for enchanted muscle cultures. For centuries these cultures have been roiling within them. The central tub has given rise to the horror known as Muscle Jelly. If approached it will rise up and attack.<br /> <b><br /></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPizyhABq6wFBU0h5-rQRo-vbhdfcxWs7-JDuxYn3qKJ2DBUeNiN1BXx5Q31DIQ7vGtJmsns3v_AgnFBKW4vT2aW46vmkRB0cWKYD6oDwDZ9rSa7pW6CAcx3b9PszdKth-g-tqTorIw00/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPizyhABq6wFBU0h5-rQRo-vbhdfcxWs7-JDuxYn3qKJ2DBUeNiN1BXx5Q31DIQ7vGtJmsns3v_AgnFBKW4vT2aW46vmkRB0cWKYD6oDwDZ9rSa7pW6CAcx3b9PszdKth-g-tqTorIw00/s1600/photo+1.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Janjetov</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>Muscle Jelly</b> HD12 HP60 AC10 SPD15' Att: Slam 1d8+4, save vs. paralysis or be stunned for 1 round by the immense blow.

Wooden manikins of all sizes stand in rows, dressed in elaborate antique fashion drawn from diverse cultures. Bins of hats, many outrageous, piles of sashes and epaulets, and footwear of all kinds stand in neat rows. Although once nearly priceless, these sartorial splendors are now all ruined. Along the south wall stand a few suits of armor, and a rack with some arms. None are magical, but some are of fine construction. Alongside normal fare, more weighty than valuable, the notable items include:<br /> <ul> <li>Two suits of plate mail. The more elaborate of the two has a bronze helm that reveals only the eyes, and is sized for an ogre. (500gp)</li> <li>Two shields. One is a kite shield, resplendent with the stylized image of a rising sun against which the black lines of twisted trees stand in sharp relief. (100gp) The other is an ingeniously designed buckler in the center of which a lantern has been set. (50 gp)</li> <li>a matching pair of queer short swords, the handles of which are grotesque yawning faces. (75gp)</li> <li>a polearm fit for a giant   </li> </ul> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">On a long shelf in the NE corner of the room, an arresting</span> row of masks are mounted on wooden busts. Some are imitations of animals, real and invented. Others are grotesque faces, or elaborate ceremonial masks from religious orders now forgotten. The more valuable masks will be difficult to transport without damaging, but if a means could be devised, will fetch up to 700gp from collectors. Mixed among this lot are two masks of a forbidding magical nature.</span><br /> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfAN1KBJ3Pd1g5un4Cr9CtQ-6b2LYF2rUWBcYpcAYMCcW7T4frbkGKeqdrYA7MnBa2sqt8wL3X0dIV-6tgFs81E9TaWHNVA1zItTUvBJHbV22aguO_jyWWuP7iyd34_pGVOK33lcu1Os/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfAN1KBJ3Pd1g5un4Cr9CtQ-6b2LYF2rUWBcYpcAYMCcW7T4frbkGKeqdrYA7MnBa2sqt8wL3X0dIV-6tgFs81E9TaWHNVA1zItTUvBJHbV22aguO_jyWWuP7iyd34_pGVOK33lcu1Os/s1600/photo.JPG" width="240" /></a></div> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">This serenely smiling golden mask is the <b>Interrogator</b>.

While the mask is attached, the wearer cannot utter any lies. Only another person can make the barbs retract, by placing his hand on its forehead and uttering the sentence, "I am finished with him". Tearing off the mask does 3d10 damage, and leaves the face horribly scarred (-4 charisma). The mask can be used five more times before its enchantment expires. </span><br /> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMi4OSVV4NG-d0nnkLbNHz5N-oJ1M1G9JEUL0XBIkP87K_j8XyBHzzUgN_aoqhasAFSaz9sEXAQXLjvIz_UL1TjYeelKqdNGDy_Vqd__pRFEIFxoF_m7dw1p3epKXbq_GM4TSiv1ii-fs/s1600/micah31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMi4OSVV4NG-d0nnkLbNHz5N-oJ1M1G9JEUL0XBIkP87K_j8XyBHzzUgN_aoqhasAFSaz9sEXAQXLjvIz_UL1TjYeelKqdNGDy_Vqd__pRFEIFxoF_m7dw1p3epKXbq_GM4TSiv1ii-fs/s1600/micah31.jpg" width="319" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Micah Vogel</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">This queer double mask is the <b>Mask of Hidden Wrath</b>.<b> </b>The exterior of this wooden mask is the face of a remarkably carved eagle. But within the mask lies another, a reddened, swollen, rage besotted human face. As soon as the wearer dons this mask, it will snap shut. It will only open if he enters combat. When the mask opens, the wearer will enter a rage, receiving +4 to his strength for the duration of the combat. However, there is a 1 in 6 chance that he will also lose control, attacking friend and foe alike.

The west end of the room is occupied by a huge white marble tub. Two silver spouts emerge from the wall above the tub. These spouts magically produce hot and cold water when touched. The east side of the room is occupied by a vanity. The mirror is huge and supported by baroque gold plated fastenings. In front of it there are various jars formerly containing cosmetic salves, powders and ointments, all of which have been reduced to a hardened paste. Inside a drawer there is a silver comb (50gp).</span><br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> <div style="margin: 0px;"> <br /></div> </div> 28. <b>Wardrobe</b><br /> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">This is an elaborate walk-in closet.

Although once valuable, these clothes are now in ruins. (A few dry outfits can be cobbled together.) In the center of the room stands a tall mirror, surrounded by filigreed silver satyrs (200 gp, but heavy and fragile). A jewelry box rests on top of a cabinet. The clasp is trapped with a poison needle, but it has lost its potency. Within there is a thin gold circlet set with fire opals (500gp), a silver ring ostentatiously flashing with diamonds (1000gp), a scarab broach inlaid with lapis lazuli and mother of pearl (200gp), and a gorgeous bronze bracelet of intertwining serpents with carnelian eyes (400gp).    </span></div> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> <br /></div> 29. <b>Master Bedroom</b><br /> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The elegant door to this room is lacquered black with seahorse motif in gold leaf. The dust covered floor was once a gleaming cherry, and the faded oriental rugs were lustrous. In the western end of the room, a massive four-poster bed rests, draped with rotting white silk. A book lies open on a night table by its side. It is an old edition of a work of poetry still read in the present day. On the east side of the room there is a white divan and some plush sitting chairs. In the corner, as in area 22, there is a metal statue of an octopus, each of its limbs supporting a lantern that will light if touched. In the center of the wall, there is massive fireplace, in which a single log sits. Next to is a box long matches. If lit with these matches, the log will immediately spring into flame, giving light and warmth, but no smoke. (There is no flue.)</span></div> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> <br /></div> 30. <b>Laboratory</b><br /> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The door to this room is made of heavy wood, and has a grotesque face from which hangs a knocker (as in area 21). However, the door is slightly ajar and can be opened easily. Apart from a central walkway through the room that ends in an unlocked wooden door (leading to area 31), the room is entirely occupied by a a maze of open shelving. On these shelves sit the strange tools and materials of Sarpedon's forgotten art. On one shelf, the preserved specimens of alien of creatures lear from within a tank, on another shelf fetal anomalies float in brown liquid baths, another seems to contain jar upon jar of pickled organs, another contains jellies of dazzling colors, and so on. </span><br /> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuaGlocDoBHmbhbZigFCKJ78-qK_-nOoYoJULYsdCIwGYpg8q8AqV26UvlmVsO9o-_KViT63alup9qZPsCfO8zS1CnYSvJYVLde2gyZn3SEr0myD1p-32hKMMybJhRe9g2fpqKjKMOZpI/s1600/tumblr_mrhn7g7pIX1qe31lco5_r1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuaGlocDoBHmbhbZigFCKJ78-qK_-nOoYoJULYsdCIwGYpg8q8AqV26UvlmVsO9o-_KViT63alup9qZPsCfO8zS1CnYSvJYVLde2gyZn3SEr0myD1p-32hKMMybJhRe9g2fpqKjKMOZpI/s1600/tumblr_mrhn7g7pIX1qe31lco5_r1_500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPGxaDOB8WCzNdobUQ0t4-bUaiV035XrgaA4tXSM0dmC0peF0XLe1lppayzkTDpwJ3ZRGUhExFHKkProY2JXlCUI-Yf58p-XIF1vj_O7SrAG0qdnmW_1cq7G1QEhibcZS3yeGNjuE1ZiY/s1600/conjoined-twins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_BQPJbW6wbqCjmUdC9UnFPAPgXqNZOvTlfZX428SsyM7FVW77MdmvC6ZFLHtlyzIDK6oRqgzhmmwsY5mqdNxA_7WKt2ELyHsR9zc5xHFEXkmSRnFKc-n6PTjfFjFDrXlHa_gSProbMCk/s1600/tumblr_mk65nqfwFp1s9s95so1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_BQPJbW6wbqCjmUdC9UnFPAPgXqNZOvTlfZX428SsyM7FVW77MdmvC6ZFLHtlyzIDK6oRqgzhmmwsY5mqdNxA_7WKt2ELyHsR9zc5xHFEXkmSRnFKc-n6PTjfFjFDrXlHa_gSProbMCk/s1600/tumblr_mk65nqfwFp1s9s95so1_500.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPGxaDOB8WCzNdobUQ0t4-bUaiV035XrgaA4tXSM0dmC0peF0XLe1lppayzkTDpwJ3ZRGUhExFHKkProY2JXlCUI-Yf58p-XIF1vj_O7SrAG0qdnmW_1cq7G1QEhibcZS3yeGNjuE1ZiY/s1600/conjoined-twins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPGxaDOB8WCzNdobUQ0t4-bUaiV035XrgaA4tXSM0dmC0peF0XLe1lppayzkTDpwJ3ZRGUhExFHKkProY2JXlCUI-Yf58p-XIF1vj_O7SrAG0qdnmW_1cq7G1QEhibcZS3yeGNjuE1ZiY/s1600/conjoined-twins.jpg" width="269" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Contained here are spell components and alchemical materials; although many have been spoiled, a discerning eye find quite a few useful items (1000gp total).

On the left and the right, at the first level, two rune covered crystal coffins lie (12' long). Empty glass tubes protrude from these coffins with plungers, like giant syringes. Between them, on a higher platform, rests a marble coffin with a heavy lid, down the center of which a long crack runs. Thick copper pipes running from the ceiling terminate in the two glass coffins. Copper pipes then run from these coffins into the sides of the central raised marble coffin. </div> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> Facing this apparatus, sits a rune covered chair, carved from a single piece of onyx. Attached to the chair is a bronze helmet that can be lowered over the sitters head. Before it is a low stone table, in which are set three crystal balls, all of polished topaz. Along the eastern wall, sit numerous alchemical appurtenances, alembecs, retorts, athanors, and so on. In the northeast corner there is a small washbasin, with gargoyle spout. The secret door to 32 is sprung by depressing the tongue of the statue.</div> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> If the crystal coffins are examined, built in restrains can be seen within. Their bottom appears to be caked with a brown residue. The lids are extremely heavy, but can be removed by several people working together. If the central coffin is examined, through the crack a blackened interior can be glimpsed. Should the broken marble lid be pried off, it will be clear that the lid and the base fit together like a mold. The mold appears to have been of an angelic figure, perhaps 8' tall, with four feathered wings. The face is exceedingly beautiful with a third eye its forehead. Both sides of the mold are blackened, as if by fire. The lid seems to have been cracked from within. </div> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> Should one of the PC's sit in the chair, don the brass helmet, and touch one of the crystal balls then (and only then) will lights well up from within them, flickering across their surface.</div> <div style="text-indent: 0px;"> <br /></div> </div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <div class="MsoNormal"> <u>Crystal ball 1</u>: A thrumming begins, as the mutagen from the pillar in area 7 flows through the copper pipes into the southernmost crystal coffin.

This acts as a stinking cloud, effecting everyone in the room. People caught in the area must also save vs. poison or make 1 roll on Logan Knight's <a href="http://www.lastgaspgrimoire.com/do-not-take-me-for-some-turner-of-cheap-tricks/">Transmutation</a> table.<br /> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <u>Crystal ball 2</u>: A thrumming begins, as the mutagen from the pillar in area 7 flows through the copper pipes into the northernmost crystal coffin. Green gasses begin swirling in this coffin and lights pulsate along its sides. If the lids are not on, the effect will be as above.</div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <u><br /></u> <u>Crystal ball 3:</u> Activates the mold. If any gasses are in coffin 1 and 2, they pour through the copper pipes connecting the crystal coffins to the central coffin. Bright lights streams from within the marble coffin. If the lid is off the effect will be as above. If it is on, the lid will fly off. Everyone within the room must save vs. breath weapon or suffer 4d6 damage from shooting marble debris. This will be followed by the stinking cloud effect.<br /> <br /> Should the players think to do the same with biological forms strapped into the crystal coffins, then the DM should feel free to have a creature from his worst nightmares climb from the ruins of the marble coffin instead.</div> <br /> 32. <b>Secret Passageway</b></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> This is a dark passageway that allowed convenient access from the Muscle and Bone Workshop (area 25) to the Blending Chamber (area 31).

When the two halves of the tin are twisted open, there is a loud hiss, and a quivering blue jelly is revealed. One smears this substance on a patch of open skin. As soon as a sufficient quantity has been applied, the algae spreads rapidly to cover the body. Within minutes the user's skin acquires a gelid and translucent appearance. At this point he is able to breath water, although to do so he must first expel the air from her lungs. Should he not enter the water, within 15 minutes his skin will begin to painfully dry, erupting in cracked shingles that weep a blue ichor (2d6 damage). A tin contains five doses. Each dose lasts for about an hour and a half. These tins are exceedingly rare, and are only found in the forgotten ruins of the Archivists.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">The Discipline of Still Breath</span></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFNbYc8VNdmuA2f1L2zGEH4q-mj3w6GHbVCPJeMCbELI_I3loy0K0J6hP2yc9whrxLpLydSuFgti2XIkFAUg8ec8O0RqRY6ku1-2nBT0faAstZhZD1j87U_0vp0y-klMurkJi1WSoqaWw/s1600/Tomasz-Gudzowaty-shaolin-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFNbYc8VNdmuA2f1L2zGEH4q-mj3w6GHbVCPJeMCbELI_I3loy0K0J6hP2yc9whrxLpLydSuFgti2XIkFAUg8ec8O0RqRY6ku1-2nBT0faAstZhZD1j87U_0vp0y-klMurkJi1WSoqaWw/s400/Tomasz-Gudzowaty-shaolin-01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> The Black Lotus is a secret monastic order that serves the Invincible Overlord as spies, assassins and agents-provocateur. Through rigorous and esoteric training, agents of the Black Lotus acquire mastery of mind over body. The most talented advance to the arts of the third mystery. Among these potent powers is the discipline of still breath through which the agent is able to suspend his respiration for up to one hour per day. Although taxing, shorter periods are not debilitating. However, the full hour stretches the agent to the breaking point. Afterwards he must fall into a deep coma for six hours, during which time his body replenishes itself.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">The Lung Eels of the Sorcerer Lords </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> (<a class="g-profile" href="http://plus.google.com/115387740151103410877" target="_blank">+Judd Karlman</a> is the original source of this idea)</div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYRHH8vU3RBjgG0cuTJqnk4J5boviYYOBtT70GQ71RnSrI7jGQiOg5_kTp-d0TjNYL-5umbPO0AUZZMotmvgttrUnzHuUAtXkEDXxOkGXE8g3bdh_FftWr2JTQLQ8aT9Sknn-_dq9d43Y/s1600/Schistosoma_20041-300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYRHH8vU3RBjgG0cuTJqnk4J5boviYYOBtT70GQ71RnSrI7jGQiOg5_kTp-d0TjNYL-5umbPO0AUZZMotmvgttrUnzHuUAtXkEDXxOkGXE8g3bdh_FftWr2JTQLQ8aT9Sknn-_dq9d43Y/s400/Schistosoma_20041-300.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> The most hideous of the methods is without a doubt the cultivation of the parasitic lung eel. Devised by the sorcerer lords, this hideous species enters the user's mouth as a larva no larger than the fingernail of child. A week later it has grown to a length of three feet, nesting curled inside the user's lungs. At this time the user acquires an unnatural vigor (+1 hp per HD) and the ability to breath water for up to two hours a day. Unfortunately, at the start of the third week, the lung eel lays its eggs, which hatch rapidly, killing the user as they feast on the meat of his lungs. To remove the lung eel prior to this date, one must tempt it from the lungs by placing a hunk of rotting pork on a hook at the back of the gullet. The art of breeding lung eels is all but lost, known now only to a handful of wizards, including the Keeper of Corals in <a href="http://www.maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/11/wolsdag.html">Wolsdag</a>.   <br /> <br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04568198881628052274' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04568198881628052274' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Ben L.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/12/three-ways-to-breath-underwater-in.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/12/three-ways-to-breath-underwater-in.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2013-12-11T06:20:00-08:00'>6:20 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/12/three-ways-to-breath-underwater-in.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-401723375'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=4202612634352350608&postID=4212181525392489560&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/search/label/Ruined%20Ghinor' rel='tag'>Ruined Ghinor</a>, <a href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/search/label/Underwater%20Adventures' rel='tag'>Underwater Adventures</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Friday, December 6, 2013</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAPxrS-YInM_EWzzNCv9OkfBRQ_7WyPrXNltiVIKWpzJpHGBe2O_h4ycpJbn63HrVSpw7uXYdVi-Y45PAXWeEgWnVMpQksnZDu__cFVEbHN5258Uc5u1QW9xOYq9lvMvItvwKAJ9FT3K0/s400/27.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='4202612634352350608' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='2418575416651587971' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='2418575416651587971'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/12/reflections-on-running-underwater.html'>Reflections on Running Underwater Adventures</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-2418575416651587971' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAPxrS-YInM_EWzzNCv9OkfBRQ_7WyPrXNltiVIKWpzJpHGBe2O_h4ycpJbn63HrVSpw7uXYdVi-Y45PAXWeEgWnVMpQksnZDu__cFVEbHN5258Uc5u1QW9xOYq9lvMvItvwKAJ9FT3K0/s1600/27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="327" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAPxrS-YInM_EWzzNCv9OkfBRQ_7WyPrXNltiVIKWpzJpHGBe2O_h4ycpJbn63HrVSpw7uXYdVi-Y45PAXWeEgWnVMpQksnZDu__cFVEbHN5258Uc5u1QW9xOYq9lvMvItvwKAJ9FT3K0/s400/27.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> My players have been adventuring in and around an underwater dungeon for the last two months. (My plan is to have the whole dungeon available gratis here. The first installments will be coming next week. You can see some of the house rules I've been using <a href="http://www.maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/11/simple-underwater-rules.html">here</a>; I keep tinkering with the post as new things come up in play.) The group has gone on four dives thus far, some of which lasted multiple sessions. After all this time, I've come to the conclusion that underwater adventures encourage old school play like nobody's business.<br /> <br /> My current face-to-face group doesn't read these blogs. The players aren't on G+. Although one player was playing in the mid-80's, the rest only starting gaming (with 3.5, to make things worse) shortly before our group got going.  We also rotate DMing, which I <b>love, </b>and will one day talk about. So the tone is not always what it would be if I were exclusively DMing, and playing with like-minded OSR fiends. We also drink a lot at the table.<br /> <br /> I have found that underwater adventuring is the perfect cure. First off, the prospect made them very wary. When the opportunity opened, "How could that go well?" was the general sentiment. In the end this was overbalanced by the bad-assedness of exploring the ancient redoubt of a Sorcerer Lord lost beneath the waves. I mean, how could you say no? And if you lived, what a story you have! But the players started with the paranoid mentality that is the foundation of old school play. They assumed that someone might die, just like that.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7nkW46AoyIuvqGVCjjDg2N1MYrvvaH7HtuyyzmU1ZM1WEnZo1TlJIBNMmSk_AjfMCU1r0LgOCJTvcAK07ra2weldSFZYsn719Jcfz-OkQh9k23jsvusy_BmLJOita_N3wQmO-5dlojB0/s1600/Sahuagin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7nkW46AoyIuvqGVCjjDg2N1MYrvvaH7HtuyyzmU1ZM1WEnZo1TlJIBNMmSk_AjfMCU1r0LgOCJTvcAK07ra2weldSFZYsn719Jcfz-OkQh9k23jsvusy_BmLJOita_N3wQmO-5dlojB0/s400/Sahuagin.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is what they imagined would happen to them. In fact, it was much, much worse.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> I was also able to get my players to take some things much more seriously than I otherwise could have. For example, resource management. Their general reaction to resource management is to snooze. However, when they were told that the potion of water breathing lasts "about an hour and a half", suddenly everyone was watching the clock like a <i>hawk</i>. The ever present threat of drowning is a wonderful thing. Similarly, keeping track of inventory. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. But when I told each player to write down on a sheet of paper exactly what he was taking on the dive, and where he's carrying it, no one batted an eyelash. Of course you have to do that. You are, after all, diving into the fricking ocean.<br /> <br /> The wonder of the environment encouraged me to be careful in the best kind of way. For example, I found myself keenly describing to them the extent of the illumination from their light spell. The darkness at the edges was a constant tactical factor in playing. Similarly, the fact that the group could not communicate led to a lot of interesting situations. There was an agonizing battle where half the group didn't even realize it was underway until their fellows were already in a desperation situation. There were also some characters, including a monk, who had chosen to <a href="http://www.maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/11/simple-underwater-rules.html">go light</a>, and this led to some fun combat situations, since she could essentially fly around, like a true kung fu warrior.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Another wonderful thing about an underwater adventure is that it opens up three dimensional, out of the box, thinking right off the bat. The players started off looking <i>down</i> at the dungeon. They could have entered it from seven different points, at a variety of heights, all of which were more or less open to view from the beginning. The first time they chose to walk down the stairs inside from the highest point, but they knew the options were open, and they later took them.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijNvgsvjVFruuhK2OZVl5O2loFQrW6wA1i-cNF08TK7mv8Yg5YQjOT41r_flIbJju5NBISLE8m_0x2G5DAxDR83GRfSBKF7l_auu48kNQ2n-bFWBk5oxeQjNxS54LAX7hthNxjeo1vPQI/s1600/25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijNvgsvjVFruuhK2OZVl5O2loFQrW6wA1i-cNF08TK7mv8Yg5YQjOT41r_flIbJju5NBISLE8m_0x2G5DAxDR83GRfSBKF7l_auu48kNQ2n-bFWBk5oxeQjNxS54LAX7hthNxjeo1vPQI/s400/25.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> I was also able to use the dungeon environment to set up a lot of tactical challenges, which my players were unable to surmount. For example, the dungeon has a dry portion with air at the bottom. How were they to haul the black grimoire and unsettling alchemical materials they found there to the surface unharmed? I didn't have a solution in mind, but the precautions they took were obviously not going to work, so it went badly for them. But that was fun, and it made sense, so they accepted it in good spirits. And they did, in the end, walk away with a pretty sweet haul. Although, since they're currently marooned, it remains to be seen how they can get their hard won gains back to civilization. But that's another story.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijtp-Xlq6QCydA63v_uaKnd_-QK9eE5_2NbVGZNshLA7vigbX2eYKxWPemIzA0Pt5oM40tbqH3ic1UCVy96DEAY7570OFA8rld1CWsvxAXACIB0jmy1ZyQ4G8dQZiAPs1dthpdM940vwE/s1600/tumblr_m4izjasVp41qhslato1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijtp-Xlq6QCydA63v_uaKnd_-QK9eE5_2NbVGZNshLA7vigbX2eYKxWPemIzA0Pt5oM40tbqH3ic1UCVy96DEAY7570OFA8rld1CWsvxAXACIB0jmy1ZyQ4G8dQZiAPs1dthpdM940vwE/s400/tumblr_m4izjasVp41qhslato1_1280.jpg" width="271" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04568198881628052274' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/04568198881628052274' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Ben L.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/12/reflections-on-running-underwater.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/12/reflections-on-running-underwater.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2013-12-06T12:20:00-08:00'>12:20 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/2013/12/reflections-on-running-underwater.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 3 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-401723375'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=4202612634352350608&postID=2418575416651587971&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/search/label/Underwater%20Adventures' rel='tag'>Underwater Adventures</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'> <span id='blog-pager-older-link'> <a class='blog-pager-older-link' href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/search/label/Underwater%20Adventures?updated-max=2013-12-06T12:20:00-08:00&max-results=20&start=4&by-date=false' id='Blog1_blog-pager-older-link' title='Older Posts'>Older Posts</a> </span> <a class='home-link' href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/'>Home</a> </div> <div class='clear'></div> <div class='blog-feeds'> <div class='feed-links'> Subscribe to: <a class='feed-link' href='http://maziriansgarden.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default' target='_blank' type='application/atom+xml'>Posts (Atom)</a> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> <div class='column-left-outer'> <div class='column-left-inner'> <aside> </aside> </div> </div> <div class='column-right-outer'> <div class='column-right-inner'> <aside> <div class='sidebar section' id='sidebar-right-1'><div class='widget BlogList' data-version='1' id='BlogList1'> <h2 class='title'>Gateways to Wonder</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'> <img data-lateloadsrc='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u_1enHJyAtAVyjle93oKFtmBesmNRX7_-RkLc2bwa1ThDP0WueG5tfz8IF4EHKH1lr3mHl6mUo3ExCIh3e3GpX_7O586omIXvz7Rpv1w=s16-w16-h16' height='16' width='16'/> </div> <div class='blog-content'> <div class='blog-title'> <a href='https://seanmccoy.substack.com' target='_blank'> Win Conditions</a> </div> <div class='item-content'> <span class='item-title'> <a href='https://seanmccoy.substack.com/p/100-is-enough' target='_blank'> 100 is enough </a> </span> -
