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? </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <div class="metadata"></div></html> |
