<h1>STORY HOOKS</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
When bringing Badger Temple into play, the GM may use the following points
|
||
to enrich the story by introducing artifacts, Villains, discoveries, and
|
||
rewards.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Hall of Trials</h2>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Light and Darkness.</strong> A single torch shines true, revealing
|
||
the living frescoes upon the walls – the shadows of four badgers, each
|
||
bearing a small rattle, slide among the paintings. To continue, the PCs
|
||
must collect the four rattles. Every time they roll a Check to try, the GM
|
||
fills 1 section of an 8-section Clock. If the Clock is filled before they
|
||
succeed, or if they attempt to use violence, a fearsome guardian emerges
|
||
from the frescoes. What is it? Which of the PCs knows legends about its
|
||
weak spot?
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Hall of Despair.</strong> This empty room seems endless. Every now
|
||
and then, the pale image of a badger appears, beckoning the heroes to
|
||
follow them in the darkness. The PCs have to fill a 6-section Clock to
|
||
keep the spirit in sight and reach the exit. Whenever a PC fails a Check,
|
||
frustration gets the better of them, causing them to suffer a random
|
||
status effect among dazed, shaken, slow, and weak.
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The Door.</strong> The badger stops next to a great stone door
|
||
covered in thorny vines, which can be removed either with a Ritual or by
|
||
suffering a heavy loss of Hit Points. The badger glows with a feeble
|
||
light, which restores all the PCs’ Mind Points.
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Dark Vines (The Rafflesia Encounter).</strong> Sprawling creepers
|
||
and living vines fill the entire room. At the center, a massive, garish
|
||
flower tinges the scene with scarlet and purple hues. A glowing bud
|
||
dangles from one of the vines, right above the jaws of the plant-creature
|
||
at the heart of the flower: its name is <em>Rafflesia</em>. Its stalk is
|
||
covered in thorns, and the badger-spirits are trapped in its two creeping
|
||
tentacles.
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Properties:</strong> It’s
|
||
<strong>Vulnerable to fire damage</strong>,
|
||
<strong>Resistant to ice and bolt</strong>, and
|
||
<strong>Absorbs light</strong>, thanks to the glowing bud, which also
|
||
hypnotizes its targets, forcing them to attack the main body – those
|
||
who charge into melee are punished by its thorns.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Challenge:</strong> If both tentacles are defeated, the twin
|
||
badger spirits regain their powers and Rafflesia becomes
|
||
<strong>Vulnerable to light damage</strong>. How did this creature
|
||
evolve? How was it created? What is hidden at the center of the room?
