Dungeon23, February Day 3

 The darkness of the crypt is broken by a forge's light...


Area 8

The northern double doors to this room were once locked. However, due to the the tunneling of the ghouls through the crypts, the cult have since left the doors unlocked.


As you enter this room, you are immediately cradled in a wave of heat. The room is filled with a soft orange light whose origin is the large stone forge that fills most of the southern area. An anvil and smithing tools hang against the forge, ready for use.


When the evil cult first came to this place and excavated the crypts beneath the mausoleum, they used this forge to fashion weapons and other metal items they needed. Since they moved most of their operations to the Temple Area, the evil cult have left this forge unattended, for the most part.

A successful DC 10 Intelligence (Investigation) check will allow an observer to note that, although the forge is ready for use, no one has been using the forge or its tools for some time.

Creature: A fire elemental is bound to the forge, tasked to maintain its fire and heat. However, as the forge has been neglected, so to has the elemental. No one has provided fuel for it to burn in many months. If the PCs attempt to interact with the elemental (they will need to be able to speak and understand Ignan to accomplish this), it will prove to be unfriendly unless they can provide for it wood, coal, or some other flammable fuel that it can burn for an extended period of time. If the PCs cannot provide the materials, it will settle to burn their bodies.

The fire elemental cannot leave the borders of this room, as it is bound to the forge within.

In addition, the elemental can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there. The first time it enters a creature's space on a turn, that creature takes 5 (1d10) fire damage and catches fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, the creature takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

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...
