13. Minor acts of sabotage being occurring. Items on site are stolen or damaged, and purchased goods are sometimes substandard, stolen en route, or otherwise interfered with.

14. The digging uncovers a surprisingly recent corpse.
This should happen after other events which seem calculated to slow/stop the escavation have occurred, such as sabotage. The corpse is a murder victim and the murder had inadvertently selected the ruins as a good place to hide the corpse. The ruins previously were shunned due fear (substantiated or not) of evil spirits. The murderer may have instigated the sabotage either directly, or indirectly.

15. Hordes of poor peasants show up daily with digging equipment and begin digging everywhere. Rumors of the treasure have spread and the large unreasoning mob is desperate and grows every day. Depending on their desperation, they may try and run the PC's out of their claim. Go to Comment

Figure I'd add to it since I opened my mouth :) Go to Comment

These are really good! Boxing matches on Boxing day? Heh! Go to Comment

Really good idea for a scroll, and the entries already on it are top notch!

Kudos one and all! Go to Comment

Unless people rescue this sub with more good additions, I know what my vote is going to be. The amount of work done on this sub looks to be under 5 minutes.

1. Spellcheck
2. Needs more added by original author - otherwise it should have been left an idea seed.
In addition to Moonhunter's concerns.

#1 is going to need more then a hand if they want to hold a pistol.

Mutant #2 is going to have problems with normal life - they can't do heavy work, play catch, fight, etc, without risking severe pain and probable injury. Imagine if they accidently put their hand on a stove?

etc. Go to Comment

Ruminant Digestive System - Allows the mutant to digest cellulose, allowing grass, paper, etc to be effectively used as food. Advanced forms would allow wood and similar materials to be effectively eaten (Though dental mutations would also be required).
Mutant may develop a distinctive pot-belly to accommodate the additional organs.

Advanced Digestive System - Mutant is able to derive nutrition from any non-corrosive carbon-based compound (ie. Crude Oil, plastics, etc).

Exotic Digestive System - Mutant is able to derive nutrition from bizarre chemical compounds -Chemosynthesis - any which contain chemical energy (eg. Hydrogen Sulfide) . Will require additional mutations to protect the body from the effects of such chemicals. Go to Comment

Okay, knowing that it was not intended as a normal sub cools my temper a lot. My apologies Munald! Go to Comment

The Dragon can easily be swapped out for any similar Mystic Scale monster, all one needs to do is change the meaning of the word Haern. If desired, I can add the dragon as a sub, but there are enough suitable dragons out there to fit the bill. Go to Comment

The Pictorial idea is great! Since the old culture is mostly stone-age (with experiments with copper and later bronze) cave paintings fit in quite nicely.

The paintings could depict the battle between the Dragon and the Alun gods (monster with big teeth, lots of dead stick-people) and a rough image of the stone. Go to Comment

Can't believe I had misspelled 'slab'.... Go to Comment

I'd say he's already started.....

Awesome! Go to Comment

I'm liking where this is going. A little dry, but perfectly appropriate for the subject matter. If you ever read the book Spacewreck, Spacecraft 2100-2200AD , or Laguna Wars this would fit in prefectly with their tone, one which I've always loved!

Can't wait to see how this Hegemony grows! Go to Comment

Interesting. Given the world described with the iffy flight magic, this item is perfectly logical!

For worlds with better or more predictible flight magic, it still would serve a a good backup in case of premature expiration of spell duration, hostile magics, etc.

Or, for that matter, to sneak into areas where magic detection is in effect. Go to Comment

In work, perhaps, but this is still a worthy submission that should get the attention it deserves!

Will be converting some of the notables in this sub to Stubs and then Subs as time allows.

In some ways it's like making an onion - you always need to add another layer :)

I will be elaborating on the home city, its politics and culture as time allows, but for now it is a large, middle-easternlike maritime city. There are two major ethinic division with the minority in power. Herithi is part of the majority which is oppressed, Cardos (and all other government figures) are part of the minority.

Note to self: Who makes an onion?? Go to Comment

Thanks - he's up with Tohm Bones as my own favorites !

An interesting sub with a lot of detail and extensive description, but it is somewhat decreased by a number of spelling and gramatical errors.

"Nay, these parasites gave their swarms of horned vermin the freedom to devour much of the jungle into dessert,"
I'm assuming you mean Desert, though dessert can work in that context :) Go to Comment

Truely an impressive and expansive piece of work. It could be the center of an entire campaign!
Kudos! Go to Comment

Awesome! This is really nasty critter.

Does it have any special vulnerability to Cold Iron? Go to Comment

This is an amazing set of subs. Kudos! Go to Comment
