<h1>THE WORLD - ECHOING RUINS</h1>
|
||
<h2>The Ruins</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The remains of ancient machines emerge from the undergrowth alongside the
|
||
metal fuselage of a huge airship, now crushed by tree roots. The only
|
||
creatures that live in these forgotten ruins are constructs, intent on an
|
||
endless cycle of repairs.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Key Discoveries and Mysteries</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Echoing Ruins:</strong> Ancient technology is preserved here.
|
||
Deciphering the old logs and restarting the main console, the PCs
|
||
discover that this technology is not from the known world. Which epoch
|
||
does it come from?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Lost Technology:</strong> Strange weapons and tools of unknown
|
||
function lay under the dust inside the fuselage. The PCs might find rare
|
||
pieces of equipment, recharge their Inventory Points, or decipher an
|
||
ancient and forgotten alphabet. What kind of tools do they find? What
|
||
were they designed for? How do they function?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Cold Fusion:</strong> The belly of the ship hides an artifact
|
||
that can generate infinite energy. The device now exists symbiotically
|
||
with the last of the lumenflies, an ancient species of giant firefly
|
||
considered extinct. The artifact’s heat is necessary for the eggs to
|
||
hatch, but someone wants to use its power to fight a decisive battle.
|
||
Who are they? Is it possible to find a compromise?

<h2>PROTECTION WANTED</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The heroes stumble upon a caravan of traveling merchants. They are not
|
||
familiar with this region and they aren’t confident to continue without an
|
||
escort.

<h3>Imperatrix</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This creature has ruled the skies of the Cerulean Jungle since time
|
||
immemorial. Despite her fierce appearance, she prefers to nest up in the
|
||
mountains and has never attacked the denizens of the forest... until
|
||
now.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Abilities:</strong> She boasts a terrifying dive attack that
|
||
holds down the target until the end of the round, dealing damage and
|
||
inflicting slow, but she can also breathe searing flames.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Crisis Form:</strong> When in Crisis, she can hit up to two
|
||
targets during a dive and inflict poisoned with her tail sting.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Vulnerabilities/Resistances:</strong> She is
|
||
<strong>Vulnerable</strong> to ice and bolt damage, but
|
||
<strong>Immune</strong> to fire and poison.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Something Unsaid</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In a cage on the central cart is the Imperatrix’s offspring, which the
|
||
merchants stole from the nest. Only the inestimable value of such a
|
||
creature pushed them to take such a risk.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>The Conflict:</strong> If the PCs discover the truth, the
|
||
merchants try to buy their silence. If someone returns her lost
|
||
hatchling, the mother returns to the mountains without causing further
|
||
damage to the forest. What will the PCs do?
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
“Respect nature and it will respect you. Trample even a single flower
|
||
and it will take back what was stolen from it. Everything has a place in
|
||
this ecosystem!”
|
||
