<h2>Chapter Synopsis</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Cradle of Life</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Golden City is where souls are purified and reprogrammed for their
|
||
next birth according to a precise scheme. Instead of following the
|
||
spontaneous chaos of nature, they are cleansed of all memories and forced
|
||
to reincarnate according to the designs of an ancient entity, descendant
|
||
of a forgotten people.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Key Questions:</strong> Who were they? What caused their
|
||
disappearance? Why did they manipulate the stream of souls to the point
|
||
of replacing it?
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>

<h3>Deus Ex (The Supreme Villain)</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<span class="entity-name">Description:</span> The heir to the will of
|
||
the ancients appears as a colossal bronze statue—a humanoid angel with
|
||
two feathered right wings, a female body, and a crying face in place
|
||
of the left arm. Its true essence is
|
||
<strong>sealed in its head</strong>, protected by a helmet that
|
||
monitors all the city’s functions.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<span class="entity-name">Abilities/Threat:</span> It has been
|
||
draining the spirits of any intruders and turning them into pale
|
||
shadows.
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
It is <strong>Immune to physical damage</strong> and alternates
|
||
between Vulnerability and Absorption to light and dark each round,
|
||
unleashing attacks based upon the Absorbed element and inflicting
|
||
random status effects.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
It controls the mechanical sentries of the entire Golden City and
|
||
can spend Ultima Points to summon them.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<span class="entity-name">Narrative Hook:</span> In reality, its
|
||
spirit silently mourns its millennia-old separation from the stream of
|
||
souls—can the Player Characters help them reunite with it, and how?

<h3>Castaways of the Sky</h3>
|

|
||
<strong>The Setup:</strong> Will and Orvy, two reckless aviators, lose
|
||
control of their aerostat and crash among the ruins while escaping a
|
||
deadly spirit. In helping them, the PCs become embroiled in a violent
|
||
conflict.
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li style="margin-top: 20px">
|
||
<strong>Necroptes (The Spirit):</strong> A ravenous winged spirit that
|
||
can smell death and knows no remorse.
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Tactics:</strong> Casts fire and air spells. Although
|
||
fragile, it can strike down enemies in Crisis with its terrible
|
||
Death spell, which reduces victims’ Hit Points to 0 if they were a
|
||
multiple of 5.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Resistances/Weaknesses:</strong> Vulnerable to cold and
|
||
light damage; Immune to earth and Absorbs dark.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||

<li style="margin-top: 15px">
|
||
<strong>Conflict Resolution Points:</strong>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Collateral Damage:</strong> If the Necroptes isn’t
|
||
defeated within 4 rounds of conflict, the aerostat becomes
|
||
unusable due to collateral damage.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Rest in Peace:</strong> After the end of the conflict,
|
||
Will and Orvy explain they are fulfilling their father’s last
|
||
request: scattering his ashes from the highest point in the sky.
|
||
If the aerostat is still serviceable, they take off; otherwise,
|
||
can the PCs figure out an alternative solution?
