Area 4

Flanking the statue of the Goddess of Death and standing in front of the main mausoleum are a pair of 5-foot wide and 15-foot tall black-stone obelisks sitting on an 8-foot-wide platform. These stones are carved with the holy scriptures of the Book of the Dead, to help the fallen transition to their respective places in the afterlife. The stones show some signs of weathering, but thanks to the magical enchantment placed upon them during their construction, the carved inscriptions are still fully legible. The script from the Book of the Dead begins on obelisk 4a and continues to finishing on 4b.

The two obelisks serve a secondary function to expand the blindsense of the animated statue of the Goddess of Death (see area 3). The animated statue can perceive the area via blindsense up to 60 feet from both of the obelisks. This allows the animated statue to operate up to 120 feet from the obelisks, as long as the radius of its own blindsense overlaps with those of the obelisks'.

It is possible to damage or even destroy the stone obelisks. Each has AC 17 and 50 hit points. If an obelisk is destroyed, it can no longer function to expand the blindsense of the animated statue of the Death Goddess.

Any creature that participates in the destruction of one or both of the obelisks must make a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw or be cursed; suffering disadvantage on all ability checks, saving throws, and attack rolls. The effect lasts until an atonement, remove curse, or similar magic is used to cast off the curse. However, anyone that is a cleric, paladin, or other servant of the Goddess of Death will recognize the curse and will generally refuse to aid the afflicted creature due to their transgressions, unless proper reparations are made to restore the destroyed obelisk(s).

Transformers One Sourcebook!

Image
Renegade Games Studios just announced the preorder release of the Transformers One rpg sourcebook . https://renegadegamestudios.com/transformers-roleplaying-game-transformers-one-sourcebook I finally get to discuss this project, as I have been under an NDA for the last several months.  Only a week after I originally saw the film, I was contacted by Ben Heisler from Renegade Games Studios asking about my interest in doing some freelance writing for the TF rpg. I could not say "yes" fast enough. Transformers has always been my bag, since I discovered them. I was the perfect age and the absolute target demographic when they were released  in 1984. I was 7 years old and looking for a toy series to follow, as I was forbidden from following my original interest: Masters of the Universe. I had religiously-strict parents, the Satanic panic of the 80s was in full sing, and MOTU had magical and supernatural themes to it, making the show a "no-no" in terms of my being allowed ...

RANGE VIPER THREAT (GIJoe Essence20 rpg)

Image
I've been thinking about a scenario that involves the use of Ranger Vipers from GIJoe. However, looking through the various sourcebooks, Range Vipers have not yet been built as a Threat. As such, here is my Range Viper Threat Build, based on their classic toy card description and their upgraded accessories provided with their GIJoe Classified action figure. If you enjoy this content, please help support my friend Owen with his fight with cancer . Snail Nobra! Regular infantry would come back from a mission with hopes of getting hot meals and shower when they arrive at base.  Range-Vipers  are different. Their barracks is not a four-sided building with a roof, it's out there on the cold hard ground made of whatever makeshift materials they can find. Their meals are whatever edible walking or crawling critter that comes along, and their water comes from the nearest river and stream. They are only provided their uniforms and basic weapons. Whatever else they need they have to hun...
