 Random Encounters within the Tower…
Random encounter checks should be made roughly every 2 rooms and when the PCs linger too long or make
a lot of noise. Areas on the map marked by an X require an encounter check. Do not neglect random en-
counters, they’re a vital part of this adventure.
Random encounters will be a mixed bag of other adventurers,
Maakina’s collection, and creatures that have wandered in.
Start With The Fool’s Ghost

These encounters can usually be used multiple times depend-

ing on the outcomes. The details for NPCs and The Fool are
on the following pages.
All monsters save as Fighters.
Roll 1d100 to determine the encounter, then roll 1d6 to see
where it occurs:
 1-2) Before they leave the room they’re in.
 3-4) In between rooms.
 5-6) As they enter the next room.

25-28. Web-Chimes: The depressing sound of the chimes drifts toward the PCs. They must save vs. spells. If they fail by less
than 5, they will wander off toward the chimes for the next 1d4 turns. If they fail by 6-10, they will sink into a depressive state for
1d4 turns, and if they fail by 10+, they will spend the next 1d4 turns trying to leave the tower no matter what they see outside.

their job is to kill and collect bodies for the Web-Chimes. Widow-Kin Spiders: AC: as chain, HD: 4d8 (20 hp), Attacks: 1 bite,

dered into a time flux and one of them temporarily disappears. Randomly determine which PC vanishes. They will suddenly reap-
pear in 1d4 turns having zero knowledge of what just happened.
53-56. Slithering Black. An large ooze of chaos, Slithering Black smelled the disruption and joyfully slithered in under the cover
of night. It gleefully feeds on anything, good or evil. This ooze of jet is about 20’ long and slithers flat along the ground, walls, or
ceiling; it can change its shape accordingly. It is a master of stealth that feeds by biting and cloaking itself around its victim, literal-
ly sending them to oblivion — nothing left, they no longer exist. And like a black-hole, Slithering Black has no limit to its appe-
tite. Slithering Black: AC: as chain +1 (can only be hurt by magic), HD: 7d8 (40 hp), Attacks: 1 bite, +7 to hit, Damage: 2d6 + 2,

61-64. Choir Doves. The flock of escaped Choir Doves engulfs the PCs who must now save vs spells or be swept away in a state
of bliss. Look at the nearest room # to the PCs, if it’s 15 or below, the doves will drop them off 1d6 rooms above that number. If
they are near a room higher than 15, the doves will drop them off 1d6 rooms below that number. Anyone who fails their save will
drop whatever they’re holding and happily get swept away. The whole journey takes 10 minutes per number rolled on the d6 and
heals the PC 1d4+2 hit points. The flock has AC: leather and 20 hit points. Any attacks on the flock have a 35% chance of hitting a
person in their midst. (room 18, pg. 20)
65-68. Fungus Capsule. The PCs come across the corpse of an adventurer infected by the fungus in room 27 (page 25.) The cap-
sule is fully formed and will burst open if messed with (see page 25 for details.) Gems worth 2d6 x 10 GP can be seen spilling out

trust no one. If a fight seems imminent, Yeva will cast Sleep on the PCs.
If successful, they will rob the PCs of valuables and rations. If defeat
seems likely, she will cast Web or Darkness for their retreat. These two
can be reasonable, it all depends on how the PCs approach them.

Lythia is Una’s sister and the leader of an all-female band of thieves. They care
mostly for themselves, but aren't sadistic like Vassar. When first encountered
they will try to ambush the PCs, but only to rob them, unless forced otherwise.

 Climbing…
The walls of Sision Tower are sporadically covered
in vines, enough so, that this place is a climber’s
dream. There are many vertical passages, sloped
and straight up, that have no stairs or ladders, and
thus, must be climbed. Don’t sweat the small stuff,
unless the PCs are under duress, let them climb.

 4. Brightly lit, has the feel of a garden. In the center of the room there is a cushioned dais where sits a
large silver egg. If the egg is touched (by hand or object) it will crack open and out will step an exact
clone of the person who touched it. This clone will not speak, but will follow their double wherever they
go and mimic whatever they do, appraising and scrutinizing them intensely. 1d4+2 rooms from now,
the clone will try to assassinate its double. It has the exact same stats as the character it’s a copy of.

5. Poorly lit, the shadowy ceiling is full of webs. One of the Widow-Kin Spiders resides here and
will attack the last PC that enters the room.
Widow-Kin Spider: AC: as chain, HD: 4d8 (20 hp), Attacks: 1 bite, +4 to hit, Damage: 1d8 + poison

a 20% chance an Artifact (see appendix) can be found on a corpse hanging from the webbed ceiling.

6. Well lit, a trashed museum, and the corpse of a Widow-Kin Spider. Pedestals are knocked over
and fancy debris litters the room. This room had valuables that were looted by people who came before.
Lost in the debris are 1d4 trinkets each worth 1d4 x 10 GP.
The Widow-Kin corpse is upside-down with its legs curled over its abdomen. Blood abounds; some of it
is human. Poison can be harvested from a Widow-Kin corpse using the following rules:
 Each attempt takes 2 turns (20 minutes) and provokes a random encounter check.
 A successful attempt produces 1d4+1 doses of poison that does 1d6 damage on a failed save. Each
dose is worth 50 GP. Once an attempt is successful, no more can be made on that spider.
 Fighters and Clerics have a 1 in 6 chance of success.
 Wizards have a 3 in 6 chance of success, and Thieves have a 4 in 6 chance of success.
 Failing with a roll of 6 means you may have poisoned yourself and now have to save vs poison or
take 1d6 points of damage. Thieves roll twice on this save and take the better result.

7. Poorly lit, frescos cover the walls depicting the Heavenly Host. Three panicked men will run
through the room from the eastern stairs, they will run to the PCs, they will run through the PCs. They
are the ghosts of the corpses in room 9 (page 17.)

8. Secret treasure room, dark mood-lighting. Roll an Artifact from the appendix and place it here on
a fancy pedestal with an inscription of what it is.

MATTEO Baschiera (Order #32702947)
 9. Moderately lit, otherwise plain. Three bodies lie about the room, one of which is being eaten by a
very large (25’ long) yellow centipede, who pauses momentarily to regard the PCs before speaking
thus: “I require four bodies before I’m full, all but one of you may pass.”
The centipede is shockingly fast for it’s size and sounds like a horde of horses when it moves. It has +4
initiative (on 1d6). Once it has paralyzed someone, it will pause and offer safe passage to the rest, but
will happily gorge on them all, if they insist. If they flee, there’s 50% chance it’ll chase them; it is four
times faster than a person.
Giant Talking Yellow Centipede: AC: as chain +1, HD: 5d8 (30 hp), Attacks: 1 bite, +5 to hit, Dam-

10 XP: 300, Treasure: on the bodies are gems and coins worth 200 GP.

10. Well-lit, a 5’ tall, young-looking Seraph Statue stands on a 3’ tall pedestal in the room center.
This six-winged angel, arms normally out-stretched with eyes looking up in serenity, now stares out in
sorrow. Tears of blood stream down from her eyes — and she has wept for awhile, so there’s quite a
mess. Also, two adventurers lie dead in the blood with no obvious means of death. Their equipment has
been looted.
 If anyone collects some of the blood, it is toxic to chaos and will allow for double damage to chaot-
ic beings if spread on a blade (1 dose.)
 4 doses in a vial can be thrown at chaos doing 2d6 points of damage.
 Tasting the blood is a bad idea for any non-lawful being, as you must now save vs. poison or con-

 11. Moderately lit, copious vines on the walls. A miniature Snow Dragon is cornered by 2 Widow
-Kin Spiders, a third spider is up-side-down in death spasms. The mini-dragon is clinging to the
wall with one of it’s legs hopelessly webbed to the vines. If the PCs help the mini-dragon, it will at-
tach itself to the party, in particular, the PC with the highest charisma. This bright-white dragon is
about the size of a dog and will never get bigger. It doesn’t speak, but understands (and does not al-
ways follow) simple commands.
Mini-Snow Dragon: AC: as chain, HD: 2d8 (13 hp), Attacks: 1 bite and 2 claws, +2 to hit, Dam-

12. Moderate shadows, light spotlights a large chest. In

the shadows, against the wall, is the body of The Fool. Blue-
ish powder covers his face and lock-picks are loose in his
grasp. He also has on his possession 2 daggers and 17 SP.
The locked chest is trapped, anyone tampering with it will be
sprayed by powder from the deadly Blue Vulon Flower (save
vs. poison or die.) If someone tries to forcefully bash open
the chest, enough powder explodes from it to fill the room.
Inside the chest is an Artifact (see appendix) sitting on top of
500 GP. The Fool’s Ghost should appear and say riddle 9.

13. Moderately lit. Once a pleasant shrine to the powers of Law, earlier adventurers saw fit to dese-
crate the place as they searched for valuables. Beheaded angel and saint statues and burned missals
are among the mess here.
What the marauders missed are 3 cleric scrolls: Remove Fear, Silence, and Remove Curse. Also in
the rubble are 1d4 silver holy symbols. As the PCs search this room, they may notice a few prying
eyes from the children in room 14.

14. Poorly lit. There are 2d4+3 children hiding among the furniture here, draped in adult clothing;
they range in age from 5 to 11. These “kids” are adventurers who drank greedily from the Fountain
of Youth (room 19, page 21) , losing many years, all levels and the memories that went with them.
They haven’t got a clue how they got here or even that they discovered such a glorious fountain.
They have managed to scrounge together some iron rations, 4 days worth. They have 2 ropes of 50’
with grappling hooks and all have daggers.

 16. Semi-lit, walls profusely covered in grape vines. This area has the feel of a patio, albeit, one that’s
been wrecked, but inviting none-the-less, that is, until you notice the occasional hand sticking out.
The grapes are highly nutritious; one grape equals 2 days of iron rations. Getting one is the trick. As
soon as you reach for a grape, vines will wrap around your arm pulling you in. You will have to save vs.
petrification twice consecutively to break free. Three failures in a row, and you’ve been pulled in and
strangled to death. The vines can not be damaged by non-magical means, and it takes 12 points of dam-
age to make them release someone, “hits” are automatic.
 If you were to drink wine made from these grapes you would not age for 10 years.

17. Dark room, eerily lit by a pool of water. Standing

before the pool is a Medusa named Eurisai, locked in
position, gazing down at her own reflection, phasing into
and out of petrification. This is her curse for a multitude
of sins.
The PCs can safely look at her reflection but she can not.
However, if the PCs look directly at her, they have a 35%
chance of having to save vs. petrification.
She is mostly oblivious to the current situation, but with
staggered speech, offers to help if the PCs can somehow
remove her from this curse. If they agree and somehow
free her, she will wear a hood over her face and help
them for two encounters, then she will: 1-2 turn on them,
3-4 abandon them, 5-6 help them one more time.
 She can be freed by casting a Remove Curse spell.
Eurisai the Medusa: AC: as leather +2, HD: 4d8 (18

18. Well lit, smells of spring. There are 2d6+6 empty gold and silver bird-cages scattered around the
room, some still on shelves, many on the floor. This is where the Choir Doves are from (see random en-
counters.) The cages vary in size and shape and each one is worth 1d6 x 10 GP.
About 25’ up, there sits an undisturbed nest containing 1d10+6 tiny Choir Dove eggs. Now, eating a
Choir Dove egg ranks among the worst sins anyone can make against the universe and you must immedi-
ately save vs. poison or die. However, if you make the save, you have defied the universe and gain 2 new
permanent hit points. If you manage to survive the consumption of 4 eggs in a row, you have bypassed
all that is Holy and are rewarded by all that is not, with an instantaneous increase in level. The eggs are
each worth 200 GP, but are extremely fragile, there is an 80% chance they will break if transported non-
magically.
 This is an ideal hiding place for the Sky Mask (see Artifacts.) If here, the mask is hidden in the wall
behind the nest. You could also have an NPC wear the mask, or chance it to come up randomly.

 19. Day-light, scraps of clothing and armor lie around the room. An immaculate fountain is built into the
far wall. This is not the Fountain of Youth, but the water is from the Fountain of Youth. This is the most
refreshing looking water you have ever seen.
 Drinking from the fountain once heals 1d4 hit points and 1 condition, curse, etc., and...you must make a
save vs spells to resist taking another drink…
 Every subsequent time you drink from the fountain causes you to age backwards 1d6 years and lose 1
level of experience. Every time you drink, you must make an increasingly more difficult save vs. spells
(due to level loss) to resist taking another drink. One can conceivably drink themselves into nonexistence.
 Once you make the save, you are immune to the effect, but you may have lost years, experience, and the
memories and abilities that go with them.
There is a secret door in the floor which leads to a small treasure hoard of 1d6 x 100 GP, 2d6 x 100 SP, 1d4 x
10 PP, and 1 Artifact from the appendix.

20. Moderately lit, thick webs block passage up or down. 1d4+2 Wid-
ow-Kin Spiders hang out on these webs, blocking passage to the Web-
Chimes above. Anyone lingering on balconies near these webs will be at-
tacked by the spiders in 1d4+1 rounds. If these webs are somehow
searched, there is a 20% of finding an Artifact (see appendix) among the
many corpses stuck there.
Widow-Kin Spiders: AC: as chain, HD: 4d8 (20 hp), Attacks: 1 bite, +4 to

21. Somber lighting, ornate Holy-Water Fonts on both sides of the entrance, 4 columns and a central
tomb. The tomb is made of stone (inscribed: “Blessed are the Saints Unknown”) and inside are the remains
of an Unknown Saint. Maakina herself, doesn’t even know the identity of this soul and has futilely traveled
the ages searching, but the Holiness that resonates, is undeniable...
There is a long kneeler the length of the tomb, anyone who kneels and prays will enter a trance if they make a

preaching and dying and burning and healing and sacrificing and suffering until a plain, yet beautiful female

the PC has no interest in setting things right,
he will rip himself out of them and return to
the mirror. The PC host must then save vs.

having no memory of the Saint when they

Like the Fool’s Ghost, the Looking-Glass
Saint can be used to impart any information
you want the PCs to have.

 23. Poorly lit, ransacked pantry. The cupboards, cabinets, and drawers here have long been plundered, ex-
cept one cupboard central to the far wall. A dead warrior lies on the floor just left of the cupboard (he was ac-
tually killed by the Orb-Walker in room 24.) The untouched cupboard is locked, no traps, no poison, just
locked. Inside are 2d6+6 pieces of wafer bread, each piece is equal to one days iron rations. If the cupboard
is unlocked, it can then pivot to reveal a hidden compartment containing 2d4+2 small vials of healing, each
one heals 1d4 hit points. The warrior is wearing a suit of chainmail, has a war-hammer, and a bag of gems
worth 2d8 x 10 GP.

24. Well lit, moderate vines, banquet tables line the room. Lurking here, or passing through,
from a time way back, is a thing called an Orb-Walker. This sentient, static orb was not part of
Maakina’s collection, but one of the monstrosities that happened by. As it moves, its appendages
never leave whatever surface they’re touching. It slowly feeds off the life-force of other living
things without a pinch of remorse, indeed, this thing is primordial.
The Orb-Walker is currently feeding on three adventurers, but it has no limit to how many crea-
tures it feeds on; it will simply lower another static appendage. Anyone caught by this hungry Orb
is considered stunned and loses 1 hit point per round until dead, at which point the Orb drops the
corpse. Every hit point drained by the Orb is added to the Orb’s hit points (there is no limit.) The
current victims have the following hit points left: 3,4, and 6. Aiming for an appendage does no
damage to the Orb but causes it to drop its victim who becomes un-stunned the following round.
Orb-Walker: AC: as leather (only hurt by magic, immune to sleep, charm, and hold spells), HD:
6d8 (35 hp), Attacks: 2 appendages, +6 to hit, Damage: 1d4 and save vs wands or be grabbed and
stunned while held, AL: neutral, Morale: 10 XP: 1150, Treasure: Lying on the floor of the room
are 2 spears, 1 sword, 2 shields, and 1d4 x 50 GP scattered.
The Orb-Walker can also appear as a random encounter.

 25. Poorly lit, webs cover the high ceiling. The first time the PCs enter this room they interrupt
1d6+1 Window-Kin Spiders dragging dead adventures through the web-covered upper shaft toward
the Web-Chimes; always happy for more prey, the spiders will attack. Being so close to where they
hatch (room 32, page 27), there will always be 1d6+1 spiders here.
Widow-Kin Spider: AC: as chain, HD: 4d8 (20 hp), Attacks: 1 bite, +4 to hit, Damage: 1d8 + poison
(save vs poison or take a further 1d6 damage) or 1 web-spray (save vs. wands or be stuck until you
make the save, recharge 5-6), Stealth: 3 in 6, AL: chaotic, Morale: 9 XP: 250, Treasure: scattered
gems worth 1d8 x 100 GP and a 15% chance an Artifact (see appendix.)

26. Brightly lit, giant wind-chimes hang above, covered with

webbed corpses. This balcony sits 40’ below Maakina’s feet at the
bottom of the chimes. From this distance it should be clear that the
wind-catcher is some kind of winged being. The White Widow can be
seen climbing around, spinning webs, perhaps adding more victims.
When looking up at the webbed bodies, you might make eye contact —
was it your imagination or did that person just blink?
While on this balcony, there is a 35% chance that the chimes are ac-
tively making soul-crushing music. This 35% base chance escalates
by 10% every round spent here. Anyone on this balcony hearing the
chimes must save vs. spells or become mesmerized in a state of utter
sorrow.
If they make the save they’re fine, but feel a mighty strong urge to get
the hell off of this balcony (if they don’t try to leave warn them they’ll
have to make the save again, but this doesn’t mean that they can’t help
get mesmerized friends to safety.) If they fail the save by 10 or more,
they simply step off the side of the balcony and either (roll 1d6) 1-3:
fall 50’ to the balcony below suffering 5d6 damage, or 4-6: fall 100’ to
the Widow-Kin webs in area 20, only taking 2d6 damage from the fall.
Mesmerized PCs will remain mesmerized as long as they are here.
They need to be physically removed from this balcony for the effects to
wear off, which will happen 2d6 rounds later. If the PCs linger on the
balcony too long, some Widow-Kin Spiders should arrive from area
20. The White Widow will not leave the chimes, but will let out a
screech summoning Widow-Kin if the PCs try to get close.

 27. Moderately lit by a multitude of light rays seemingly filled with pollen. Four dead adventur-
ers lie here all coated with yellow fuzz. One’s head looks like it exploded, two others’ heads are cov-
ered in fungus with the beginnings of a growth, and the fourth’s face-down head has a 2’ stalk grow-
ing straight up, ending in a capsule.
This fungus was brought in by a small, now extinct rodent whose remains are against the far wall.
The pollen floating around is unnerving, but harmless. However, if the capsule is messed with in any
way, it opens sending spores everywhere in a 20’ radius. Anyone in that radius must save vs. poi-
son* or become infected. Anyone infected now only has a few hours to live:
 For healing purposes, this fungus is considered a disease.
 The infected will become fatigued, losing 1d2 hit points per turn.
 3 turns after infection, they now have to roll twice and take the worst result on all rolls.
 5 turns after infection and every turn after, they must make a save vs. poison or fall unconscious.
 1 turn later a stalk begins to grow from the back of their head. The PC is now dead.
 1d4+2 turns later the 2’stalk will be fully formed with a spore-filled capsule at the end.
*An odd twist: Anyone that makes their save with a critical success is immune to the fungus but is
now a carrier. They have the ability to breath these spores in a small cloud once per day, enough to
infect one creature or person.

28. Poorly lit corridor. At the bot-

tom of the slope is a pit-trap that
falls 10’ down into water 10’ deep.
Anyone heavily encumbered or simp-
ly wearing metal armor must make a
save vs. paralysis (+Con bonus) eve-
ry round or sink. The PC will certain-
ly panic, but this water is breathable.
There is a sentient Man O’ War here
(you can hear it talk but where the
words come from is anybody’s
guess.) It will try to capture any PC
that falls down and use them as a bar-
gaining chip. It is starving and could
eat the PC but much prefers the taste
of spider. It will let the PC go if the
other PCs bring it a spider.
Man O’ War: AC: as chain (due aquatic advantage), HD: 4d8 (22 hp), Attacks: 4 tentacles and/or 1
bite, +4 to hit, Damage: 1d4 + save vs paralysis or be stunned for 1d4 rounds, AL: neutral, Morale: 10
XP: 325, Treasure Chest: 1d4 +2 x 100 GP and a 30% chance of an Artifact from the appendix.

MATTEO Baschiera (Order #32702947)
 29. Poorly lit, a 5’ wide decorative, glowing waterfall cascades down the center of a wall. The
sound of the waterfall is peaceful and if the PCs rest here for at least a turn, they will each be healed
1d4+1 hit points. Drinking the water does nothing but refresh you, yet there is a small, 15% chance,
that you will be healed of any diseases you might have.
Optional aspect: It is impossible to see through the waterfall. Prodding it reveals that there is no wall
and if you peak through, you will get your head wet but see nothing. Anyone stepping through the wa-
terfall will get teleported to a random location in the tower (those watching will get a quick glimpse of
where they went.) Roll 2d20 to see where you end up, a result of 36 is the Atrium. 37 or higher and
you are sent to the camps outside, in your own time period, congratulations.
!!!Warning, this option can completely split the party!!!

30. Moderately lit, an angel stands before a silver and gold Ark that sits on the far side of the
room. The angel is, Sar`Athiel, and her sole purpose for being is to guard this Ark — no matter what.
In the pit on the west the side of the room are various corpses — adventurers, spiders and other strange-
ness. Scattered treasure down there equals 3d6 x 100 GP, and any supplies you want to make available.

Just touching the Ark makes you have to save vs. spells
(with wisdom bonus) or take 2d4 damage, you still take
1d4 damage if you make the save.
Anyone peering inside the Ark is looking at forbidden
knowledge and has to make 2 consecutive saves vs. spells
(with wisdom bonus) or have their minds shattered, perma-
nently losing 1d4+1 points of Intelligence and forever
having to roll twice and take the worst result on saves vs.
magic. They will also be blind for the next 3d4 days.
If they make the consecutive saves they will gain a level
after levitating in a mind-blowing trance for 1d4 turns.
Sar`Athiel: AC: as plate +2 (can only be harmed by mag-
ic, immune to sleep, charm, and hold spells), HD: 9d8 (52
hp), Attacks: 2 with her Spear, +13 to hit, Damage: 1d8
+4, AL: lawful, Morale: 12 XP: 1,200.
 Sar`Athiel regenerates 3 hit points per round.
 Her movement rate is double the standard rate, ground
or flight.
 She may throw her Spear and have it strike all her op-
ponents (roll to-hit for each foe) after which it returns
to her. (Recharge 5-6)

 Her Spear is a long-spear +2 (1d8+2) with the above

throwing ability.

 31. Open air, ruined walls, 1-3 daylight, 4-6 night. Three
giant eggs nest in the far side of the eastern corner guarded by
1d4+1 giant ravens; the rest circle above. Anyone who comes
anywhere near the eggs will be met with the full fury of all 9
ravens. If the PCs keep their distance they will still be met
with very aggressive fly-bys.
Looking over the edge of the tower reveals the PCs’ own time-
period; but this will be harder for them to discern at night
(clue: Una’s single campfire, if she’s there.) It is a 600’ climb
down — possible due to the jagged nature of the tower, but still
a huge risk (remember, falling damage is 1d6 per 10’.
 If one of the PCs is wearing the Sky Mask (see Artifacts)
they can charm the White Ravens into flying them down
safely.
White-Ravens(9): AC: as leather +1, HD: 4d8 (17 hp), At-
tacks: 2 claws, +4 to hit, Damage: 1d6, Special Attack: 1
screech, 50’area attack (save vs paralysis or take 1d8+2 dam-
age and be stunned for 1 round, recharge 5-6), AL: neutral,
Morale: 6 XP: 120. Treasure: 3 giant eggs, each worth 1,000
GP, they each weigh 50 pounds.

32. Moderately lit, a 40’ high, web-sack of 150 eggs clings to the east wall. This is where all the
Widow-Kin Spiders are coming from. This bulging egg-sack takes up most of the room and at any giv-
en time there are 1d4+2 Widow-Kin crawling over it who will attack anyone entering. Normally, one
spider hatches every 4d4 turns, but that number will accelerate if someone sets fire to the eggs. If they
are burned, it will take 1 turn (10 minutes) to be completely engulfed, before which, 6d6+6 Widow-Kin
will be able to hatch fully grown...also, the White-Widow will then arrive in 1d4 rounds.
 Scattered across the egg-sack are various pieces of adventuring gear, 3 swords, 2 daggers, 2 battle-
axes, 2 spears, a back-pack containing 50’ of rope with grapple, 1 healing potion, and 2 days iron
rations, 3d6 x 10 GP worth of coins, and an Artifact (see appendix.) Anyone killed here will be tak-
en and added to the Web-Chimes.
Widow-Kin Spiders: AC: as chain, HD: 4d8 (20 hp), Attacks: 1 bite, +4 to hit, Damage: 1d8 + poison
(save vs poison or take a further 1d6 damage) or 1 web-spray (save vs. wands or be stuck until you make
the save, recharge 5-6), Stealth: 3 in 6, AL: chaotic, Morale: 9 XP: 250.

33. Moderately lit, bright light and webs below. The gap is 20’ across but vines are plentiful here.
Have the PCs make a climbing check while crossing (see page 14 for climbing) to avoid falling into the
White Widow’s webs below, which will immediately get her attention. Breaking free from the Wid-
ow’s webs is a save vs. paralysis (rolling twice and taking the worst result.) Whether or not you want
the Widow to hear the PCs crossing above is entirely up to you, but she will be aware of them soon
enough…

 34. Well lit, the height of luxury, coated with webs, a prominent Harp. Maakina’s personal lounge
— seemingly carved out of white marble, literally veined with silver and gold. Webs completely coat
the opulence here; couches, chairs, pillars, beds, paintings, artifacts (there is at least 1 Artifact here,
40% chance of a second.)
Gems and precious stones are embedded everywhere; values are 1d6 x 100 GP each and each gem takes
one PC 1 turn to dislodge. Let the PCs recover a few stones if they want, but then start making random
encounter checks every turn. If combat happens here, there is an escalating 2 in 6 chance per fight that
the Widow appears.
And then there’s the Harp, the source of music so pure, it was the bane of the White Widow for what
seemed an eternity to the wretched beast. The Harp stands 6’ high and is immobile; its value: priceless.
It is the only thing not coated in webs. Any of the spiders suffer 1d6 damage if they physically touch
the Harp.

Playing the Harp

 For every round spent playing the Harp, music lingers on for 1d4+1 rounds.
 After the first round of music, the White Widow will appear in 1d4 rounds and immediately use her
screech to call Widow-Kin to her aide. They will focus their attacks on anyone playing the Harp.
 While there is music, the White Widow and Widow-Kin roll twice and takes the worst result for
their attacks and saves.

Playing the Holy Chords on the Harp

 For every round spent playing the Harp,
music lingers on for 1d4+1 rounds.
 After the first round of music, the White
Widow will appear in 1d4 rounds and im-
mediately use her screech to call Widow-
Kin to her aide. They will focus their at-
tacks on anyone playing the Harp.
 While there is music, the White Widow and
Widow-Kin roll twice and takes the worst
result for their attacks and saves.
 While there is music, the PCs are immune to
White Widow and Widow-Kin poison.
 While there is music, spells cast by lawful
people are twice as affective.
 While there is music, the PCs score critical
hits on a natural 19 or 20.

 Escaping Sision Tower…
 The PCs could simply walk out the front door. The alternate times shown on page 6 are designed as fatal
deterrents to keep the PCs inside the tower, but, you could use Sision Tower as a doorway to adventure.
 If the White Widow is destroyed, Maakina will be able to free herself soon after and she will be one
grateful Seraph. Time will be restored, Maakina will heal all wounds, and allow the PCs to keep all
treasure and Artifacts they found...except En`Cial’s Dagger, she won’t let that one out of her sight.
Course, they could fight her for it… Maakina will also give the PCs each a pearl amulet that will allow
them call on her for aid one time and one time only, in which case she will show up in 1d4 rounds and
stay for 1d4 rounds assisting them however she can.
 The top of the tower where the White Ravens nest, is miraculously outside the time-flux. The PCs could
attempt to climb down all 600’ of the tower. Follow the climbing rules on page 14 (or use your own) and
call for a climbing check every 50’ or 100’. If they fall, roll 1d6 x 10 to see how far they fell, rolling an-
other 1d6 every time you roll a 6. Not falling all the way down represents the jagged nature of the tower,
but they may have lost their rope (50%), making things more difficult. As if this isn’t dangerous enough,
Ravens may engage in sorties provoking extra climb checks. Most likely, this will be a deadly exercise.
 If the PCs manage to get to the top and one of them is wearing the Sky Mask, they can charm the Ravens
into flying them to safety and to hell with the fate of the tower….they are the children of plunder after all!

17-20. Choose one.

En`Cial’s Dagger (unique). An ordinary dagger before the

Angel of Death, En`Cial, used it to slay 397 men in a single
day, this mythical weapon is coveted by assassins every-
where. It is +3 to-hit and does 1d6+3 damage. It scores a
critical hit on a 19 or 20 and then the target must save vs.
poison or be slain instantly.

Shooting Star. This Morning Star +2 (damage: 1d6+2) can also be

used as a missile weapon by spinning the ball in a circular motion like
a sling and firing the ball at a target. For every round spent winding it
up, the Shooting Star does an extra 1d6 points of damage if it hits (up
to a maximum of 3d6 extra damage.) The ball automatically returns to
the chain before the users next turn.

32
MATTEO Baschiera (Order #32702947)
 Helm of Blood-Lust. While wearing this helm, your face is hid-
den in shadow, your eyes glow red, you gain +3 to-hit and damage,
+3 to all saves, and you do triple damage on a critical hit. You
will always fight to the death, no matter what. Once the helmet is
on, you can only attempt to remove it once per day, and to do so,
you must save vs. spells (you do not get your +3 bonus to saves for
this roll.)

Ring of Spider Turning. You can turn spiders like a cleric

turns undead. You can do this as if you are a “cleric” of the
same level as yourself. Instead of fleeing, this ring simply mes-
merizes the spider, causing it to stand still, and you can only use
it on one spider per round. The spider will remain still for up to
1d4 rounds after you’ve used the ring on it. During this time,
you may use it on another spider.

Onyx of Shadow. Donning this gem turns you into a shadow.

No matter how bright or dark, you can only be seen by your re-
flection dancing on the wall as if by torchlight. You gain Stealth
at 97% ( or 6 in 6; only fails if you roll two 6’s,) regardless of
any armor worn. The catch: You must make a save vs. spells to
take it off. If you fail, you won’t attempt to remove it again for
1d4 hours. If you stay in shadow form for 12 hours straight, you
will become a shadow permanently, losing all class abilities and
taking on the traits of a shadow. Nobody else can help you re-
move it.

Scabbard of Restoration. This black-leather scabbard

will repair any broken blade that you put into it, includ-
ing, swords, short-swords, two-handed swords, and dag-
gers.

 Scepter of Protection. Slam this scepter into the ground and it
will stand straight up projecting a Holy Circle of Protection 20’
wide. Anything that tries to enter the circle will take 2d6 points
of Holy Shock damage (save vs wands for half damage.) Uber-
lawful beings such as Angels are immune to this damage. The
circle also repels all spells. The circle of protection will last for
1d6+3 turns per charge (recharge 5-6, must roll just before us-
ing.) This scepter also functions as a Mace+1.

Ryn`Athel War-Bow. All arrows fired from this +2 bow

are considered magical and if you are out of arrows, just
pull the string back, hold it for 1 round and an arrow will
appear. If this arrow isn’t fired, it will disappear in 1d4
rounds. This bow is so dependable, that you can fire into
melee and never risk hitting an ally.

Ryn`Athel War-Hawk. This hand-axe is so light and well

balanced that the wielder gets 2 attacks per round and 3
attacks per round if the wielder was to ever get their hands
on a second one. Otherwise it functions as a hand-axe +1.

Scepter of Secrets. Pointing this scepter at a wall, ceiling,

door, floor, or object, will reveal or unlock anything hidden.
As this intricate scepter reveals hidden secrets, its many parts
rotate and realign. Locked doors will unlock, traps will disarm,
secret doors will open, etc. This scepter starts with a usage die
of d8 (any time it’s used, roll a d8, if you roll a 1 or 2, the us-
age die becomes a d6, if you roll a 1 or 2 on a d4, it is used
up.) Once its uses are used, it seizes up for 1d4 days, during
which, it functions as a Mace +2.

MATTEO Baschiera (Order #32702947)
 Glaive of Gor Besh (unique). It’s no wonder that the
infamous Arbalonian gladiator Gor Besh killed so many
men in the arena...he was cheating. This glaive is only
detectable as magic by a wizard of at least 10th level. It
is +2 to hit and damage (doing 1d10+2) and scores a
critical hit on a natural 19 or 20. Also, if your strike
brings your opponent to 3 hit points or less, you are given
a bonus strike to finish them.

Athel Chain of Silence. This chain mail can be worn by any

class and gives you the Thief’s, Move Silently ability, as if you
are a thief of the same level as your own. If you are a thief, this
improves your Move Silently by 4 levels. (In a d6 system, this
give non-thieves Stealth 3 in 6, and thieves improve to 6 in 6.)

Sky Mask. Wearing this velvet

mask allows you to charm birds
of any size. The avian gets a save
to resist, but does so at –4.
Works on a flock of small birds or
1d4 large birds.

Shell-Shocker (unique). This two-handed war-hammer is +2 to-hit

and does 2d6 points of damage. Further, if 10 or more points of dam-
age is rolled on the dice (before strength bonus) whatever armor the
target is wearing loses 1 point of armor class (until repaired) and the
target must save vs paralysis or be stunned for 1 round. Requires at
least a 15 strength to use, otherwise, you roll twice and take the worst
result.
