INTRODUCTION
This is the 53rd in an ongoing series aimed to provide the
overworked DM with ready-to run encounters. The PCs will face
the bolts of the crosscats, deadly constructs combining the deadly
accuracy of the crossbow and the cruel indifference of cats. The CR
of a single crosscat is ½; but the encounter can be modified to
increase its difficulty.
It includes a history/background for the encounter, a map, and
monster stats.
The companion ZIP file contains JPEG versions of the maps
(with and without grid), a Hero Lab file, the Word file of the
encounter, and a PDF with character sheets for all the monsters.
HISTORY/BACKGROUND
The stability and power of the Ventani Empire allowed great
schools of magical research and learning to flourish, thus
producing some of the greatest mortal wizards in history. Among
these was Jullena. Like most great wizards, she selected an area of
obsessive focus—or it chose her. Like some other great wizards, it
took her a while to find her true obsession.
In her youth, she was fascinated with constructs—creating them
primarily to offset her vulnerability to attack from martial foes. To
this end, she created a wide variety of combat constructs. Being
very imaginative and artistic, her creations were aesthetically
pleasing (or intentionally jarring) and unusual in their capabilities.
Those facing her creations were generally unsure of what it could
do before it did it, thus yielding a small advantage.
While Jullena never lost her interest in constructs, she found her
one true love in gravity. While some wizards sought to master
gravity, she sought to befriend it, metaphorically speaking. While
the tales have never been confirmed, some say she journeyed to the
moon and even other worlds in search of the secrets of gravity.
What is known is that she created a wide range of gravity-based
spells. She is also known to have created a Gravity Orb which
allowed one to wield the power of gravity. The exact powers of the
orb are not known but it is believed to have incredible powers.
Jullena’s great accomplishments and her love of justice earned
her a position on the Council of Seven. This council was created
after a disastrous rivalry between two wizards led to mass
destruction and thousands of deaths. Should a dispute arise
between wizards, the council would hear their cases and make a
ruling. Few dared defy the council; not only did it have a well-
deserved reputation for fairness, the seven council members were
willing and able to enforce their decisions.
Juellena and the rest of the Council of Seven died heroically
fighting against the demons and undead when the Ventani Empire
fell to the Cataclysm. They are credited with saving thousands of
citizens directly and tens of thousands more indirectly with their
sacrifice. The Council is still spoken of with respect and reverence
even to this day. A wizard who dies in an act of heroic sacrifice is
sometimes praised as “Worthy of the council.”
While Jullena and most of her constructs perished in battle,
some of her constructs remain. She gave away some as gifts and
the ones that developed free will could go as they pleased—so some
still remain in the world.
2
One of her earlier creations is the crosscat, a clockwork cat-like
construct equipped with a crossbow. The story is that one of her
party members had a cat familiar that was often angry, earning it
the nickname “crosscat.” As a joke, Jullena created the crosscat
constructs. They proved successful and she made several to serve
as guards. Her design was also copied, so crosscats can be found
across the world and across realities.
Long ago, a temple dedicated to a cat-god acquired several
crosscats to serve as magical guardians. The temple became mired
in a conflict that resulted in its destruction but a few of the
crosscats survived and remain in the ruins to this day. One of them
is an original crosscat, constructed by Jullena.
GETTING THE PCS INVOLVED
One option is for the PCs to stumble across the ruins of the
temple in a classic random encounter. Another option is that the
PCs are intentionally seeking the ruins, perhaps at the behest of
others or in search of a dungeon that might under the ruins.
MAP KEY
The map shows the temple ruins.
1. The Temple The
ruined walls range
in height from a few
feet to twenty feet.
The entrance to the
lower levels is
hidden under the
soil. It is located
under a fallen pillar
(9).
2-7. Intact Pillars: The pillars are 25 feet tall and are
marked with scratches from the crosscats. The crosscats
like to perch on the pillars and will typically try to fight from
the tops of the pillars. They understand cover and will try to
keep the body of the pillars between them and their foes.
They have considerable practice with “pop out” attacks—
moving to the top of the pillar to take a shot and then
climbing down rapidly to hide behind the pillar.
8. Fallen Pillar: a collapsed stone pillar.
9. Fallen Pillar: a collapsed stone pillar; the entrance to the
dungeon is hidden beneath it.
10. Stream: A mundane stream,
ENCOUNTER
The encounter begins when the PCs meet the crosscats. The
standard encounter is three crosscats, but the number can be
changed to adjust the difficulty of the encounter. One of the
crosscats is an original created by Jullena. It has maximum hit
points (35) and is equipped with two Scroll Bolts (choose a spell
scroll for each) and three Flingstones. The original crosscat also
has at least one gravity themed spell (see below) etched onto one
of its metal plates—Jullena had the habit of etching important
documents into metal. Her spellbook was reputed to be metal,
lightened by gravity magic.
Being temple guardians, the crosscats were instructed to guard
the temple but not simply murder anyone coming into the area. If
the PCs are not actively hostile and do not damage the temple
ruins, the crosscats will observe them from hiding. If the PCs spot
the crosscats or the PCs enter the ruins, the crosscats will speak
to them in common. One will say “please do not damage the
temple” and a second will say “anymore.” If the PCs do not attack
the crosscats and do not harm the temple ruins, the crosscats will
not attack and will happily chat with the PCs.
The PCs might be able to convince the crosscats that they
should be allowed to enter the temple and look around or even go
into the dungeon beneath the ruins. The PCs can use Charisma
(Deception) against the cat’s Wisdom (Insight) to trick the cats
into thinking they are allowed in the area or make a DC 15
Charisma (Persuasion) to talk the crosscats into accepting them
as friends. Tabaxi characters make these rolls with advantage.
If combat ensues, the original crosscat will deploy its
Flingstones effectively—the crosscats are adept at skeet shooting.
If the PCs prove dangerous, it will load the Spell Bolts to use
against them.
CONCLUSION
The encounter ends when the PCs defeat the crosscat(s), die or
decide to quit.
HOOK?
There is a dungeon under the temple which might contain
anything from more construct guardians to undead occupying it.
The treasure would, of course, be cat themed.
SIMPLE GRAVITY RULES
In the spirit of 5E simplicity, the gravity rules are crafted to
avoid complexity. This necessitates a lack of scientific accuracy.
To keep things streamlined, there are four types of gravity:
normal, increased, reduced and zero-gravity (or micro-gravity for
the sticklers).
NORMAL GRAVITY
Normal gravity is the default assumed in the 5E rules; it is the
same gravity that we experience here on earth.
INCREASED GRAVITY
Increased gravity is gravity that is significantly higher than
normal gravity; the default is twice normal gravity. In game terms,
apply the following rules to creatures not native to increased
gravity:
• Creatures and things weigh twice as much as in
normal gravity; this affects what a creature can carry
or lift.
3
• Movement speed, the range of thrown weapons, jump
height and jump distance are halved (moving 1 foot
costs 2 feet of speed).
• Falling damage is doubled.
If you want more degrees of gravity, simply use other
multipliers and fractions. For example, if you wanted triple
normal gravity, this would triple the weight of creatures and
things while cutting movement and such to one third of normal.
Gravity 5-6 times or more normal gravity will quickly do damage
to creatures accustomed to normal gravity; this level of gravity is
only suitable for spells and traps which specify the damage done.
REDUCED GRAVITY
Reduced gravity is gravity that is significantly lower than
normal gravity; the default is half normal gravity. In game terms,
apply the following rules to creatures not native to reduced
gravity:
• Creatures and things weigh half as much as in normal
gravity; this affects what a creature can carry or lift.
• The range of thrown weapons, jump height and jump
distance are doubled (moving 2 feet costs 1 foot of
speed).
• Movement speed increases by 5.
• Falling damage is halved.
If you want more degrees of gravity, simply use other
multipliers and fractions. For example, if you wanted one third
normal gravity, this would reduce the weight of creatures and
things to one third, triple the range of thrown weapons and
increase movement speed by 10.
ZERO-GRAVITY
Zero-gravity (or micro-gravity) is gravity that is for practical
purposes, non-existent. Zero-gravity is challenging for creatures
accustomed to normal gravity.
ZERO-G MOVEMENT
Creatures with a fly speed can move normally by flying within
zero-gravity, although they remain subject to the general rules.
Creatures without a fly speed have three main methods of moving:
pushing off, climbing and propulsion.
A creature can push off a surface, an object or a willing creature
as a move. Pushing off a surface moves the creature in a straight
line at its normal movement speed. A creature can push off an
object or another creature if it is one size category smaller than it is
or larger. Pushing off an object or creature moves it in a direction
opposite to the movement of the pushing creature and at the same
speed as the pusher. Pushing off an unwilling creature requires
using a special melee attack to shove them. Success means that
the shover moves in a straight line at their movement speed and
the shoved moves at the same speed in a straight line in the
opposite direction. Failure means that the shover does not move.
A moving creature will continue to move at the same speed in a
straight line unless it is able to stop or change its direction of
movement. A creature can stop or change direction by using its
move to push off a surface, object or creature—use the above rules,
except the result is the pushing/shoving creature either stops or
changes its direction and the pushed/shoved object creature
moves. A creature can also stop by grabbing something attached to
a surface or attaching itself to a surface. Grabbing an unwilling
creature attached to a surface requires using a special melee attack
to grapple the creature. Grabbing to stop might require a Dexterity
(Acrobatics) or a Strength (Athletics) check depending on the
situation.
If a climbable surface is available, creatures with a climb speed
can move on it normally. A creature without a climb speed can
attempt to climb along a surface by pushing/pulling itself using the
normal rules for climbing (without risk of falling).
Creatures might have access to means of propulsion that allow
them to maneuver in zero-gravity; the specifics of these means
should be specified in their description. For example, creatures
might have a magical bag of elemental wind that allows them to
“fly” around in zero gravity. There are other ways that creatures
might get around in zero gravity, such as by using ropes to limit
their movement and to allow them to pull themselves to the surface
the rope is attached to. As always, be prepared to improvise.
Creatures can also be moved by the actions of other creatures,
such as the effects of spells. If a spell moves a creature (other than
teleport type effects) then the creature will remain in motion until it
stops or is stopped.
ZERO-G COMBAT
Creatures not accustomed to zero gravity have disadvantage on
attack rolls using melee and ranged weapons when attacking in
zero-gravity. Spell attack rolls are not affected. A creature that can
secure itself in place (by grabbing a solid handhold or sticking to a
surface with spider climb) can attack normally.
Thrown weapons have their normal range multiplied by five.
Thrown and ranged weapons do not have a long-range limit in
zero-gravity; they will continue indefinitely until they strike
something (or air resistance eventually stops them). Attacks made
beyond the normal long range of a weapon have a -4 penalty on the
attack roll; you can impose additional penalties as needed. The
range of spells remain unchanged.
In general, spells operate normally in zero-gravity. If you want
things to be more complicated, there can be exceptions for spells
that clearly require gravity to operate normally. For example, the
sphere created by flaming sphere does not fly and would need to
bounce off a surface, object or creature to move.
ZERO-G WEIGHT
While objects and creatures retain their mass, they lack weight
in zero-gravity. A creature’s ability to carry is limited only by
considerations of space. Armor Strength requirements do not
apply in zero-gravity.
NEW SPELLS
The following are new gravity themed spells. They can be
used, modified, or ignored as desired.
INCREASE GRAVITY
3rd level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V S M (A lodestone and iron fillings)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.
Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
4
You increase the strength of gravity in a 30-foot cube within
range. Creatures and objects within the cube are subject to the
effects of the increased gravity:
• Creatures and things weigh twice as much as in
normal gravity; this affects what a creature can carry
or lift.
• Movement speed, the range of thrown weapons, jump
height and jump distance are halved (moving 1-foot
costs 2 feet of speed).
• Falling damage is doubled.
GRAVITIC FLING
2nd level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V S M (A lodestone and iron fillings)
Duration: Instantaneous.
Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
This spell reverses gravity for the targeted creature or object,
instantly flinging it 50 feet upward unless it makes a Dexterity
save. If a solid object (such as a ceiling) is encountered in this
upward fall, the creatures strikes it just as they would during a
normal downward fall. The creature falls straight down, taking 1d6
bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it falls. Upon landing, the
creature falls prone, unless it avoids taking damage from the fall.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of
3rd level or higher, you fling the target an additional 20 feet for
each slot level above 2nd.
GRAVITIC POINT
4th level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V S M (A lodestone and iron fillings)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
You gesture towards a point you chose within range and a point
of intense magical gravity forms for an instant. Each creature and
movable object in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point
must make Dexterity or Strength saving throw (target’s choice). A
target is pulled instantly to the point if it fails its save (closer
objects and creatures arrive before those farther away). A creature
that saves remains unmoved.
If the point is located on a hard surface or two or more creatures
or substantial objects are pulled to the point, each creature takes
3d6 bludgeoning damage if it was pulled 10 feet or less, 6d6 if it
was pulled 11-20 feet.
The point then disperses to cover the 20-foot radius. Creatures
that were pulled must make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check against your spell save DC to avoid falling
prone.
Until the end of your next turn the area of effect of the spell is an
area of increased gravity:
• Creatures and things weigh twice as much as in
normal gravity; this affects what a creature can carry
or lift.
• Movement speed, the range of thrown weapons, jump
height and jump distance are halved (moving 1-foot
costs 2 feet of speed).
• Falling damage is doubled.

After that, the area of effect returns to normal.
PERSONAL GRAVITY
1st level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V S M (A lodestone and iron fillings)
Duration: Concentration, up to one minute
Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
One creature or object of your choice that you can see within range
has its personal gravity increased (as per the increase gravity spell)
or reduced (as per the reduce gravity spell). An unwilling creature
that succeeds on a Constitution saving throw is unaffected.
PUSH/PULL
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V S M (A lodestone and iron fillings)
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
You point towards a creature or object within range and distort
gravity causing it to “fall” towards or away from you. You have the
option of pulling the creature up to ten feet towards you or pushing
it up ten feet away from you. If you elect to pull, the creature or
object will stop before entering your space. The push/pull must be
in straight line. A creature can make a Dexterity saving throw to
avoid being pushed/pulled (either by avoiding the spell or quickly
grabbing something to prevent the fall). If a creature or object is
pushed/pulled into a hard surface or creature, it takes 1d6
bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet pushed/pulled. Being
pushed/pulled into spikes or other hazards might cause additional
damage. Use the normal falling rules as a guide for this. If the
target is pushed/pulled at another creature, that creature must
succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and
be knocked prone. A creature being pushed/pulled will not fall
while being pushed/pulled over things like pits—it is, in effect,
falling by them.
After being pushed/pulled, a creature must make a Strength
(Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against your spell save
DC to avoid falling prone.
This spell's push/pull distance increases by 10 feet when you
reach 5th level (20 feet), 11th level (30 feet), and 17th level (40
feet).
REDUCE GRAVITY
3rd level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V S M (A lodestone and iron fillings)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.
Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
You decrease the strength of gravity in a 30-foot cube within
range. Creatures and objects within the cube are subject to the
effects of the reduced gravity:
• Creatures and things weigh half as much as in normal
gravity; this affects what a creature can carry or lift.
5
• The range of thrown weapons, jump height and jump
distance are doubled (moving 2 feet costs 1 foot of
speed).
• Movement speed increases by 5.
• Falling damage is halved.
ZERO GRAVITY
5th level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V S M (A lodestone and iron fillings)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.
Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
You eliminate the pull of gravity in a 30-foot cube within range.
Creatures and objects within the cube are subject to the effects of
zero-gravity.
NEW MAGIC ITEMS
The following are new magic items. They can be used,
modified, or ignored as desired.
CROSSCAT CROSSBOW
Weapon (light crossbow), uncommon
This weapon differs from a normal light crossbow in two
respects. First, it is entirely made of metal—though it is designed to
be as lightweight as possible. It weighs 10 pounds. Second, it has a
self-loading and cocking mechanism that activates after every shot.
As long as the weapon has ammunition, the crossbow does not
have the Loading quality—this allows it to be fired multiple times if
the wielder can make multiple attacks with an Attack action. The
magazine holds 5 bolts. Reloading a single bolt into the magazine
is an interaction while loading all 5 bolts requires an action.
The weapon itself is not considered magical, but the reloading
mechanism is a magic item.
FLINGSTONE
Wondrous item, uncommon
As an action, you can speak the command word for the stone
and either place or throw (up to 60 feet) it. If you place it or throw it
into a square, the first creature to enter its square is subject to the
gravitic fling spell (DC 15 Dexterity saving throw). If you throw it at
a creature or object, you must make a ranged attack (as an
improvised weapon). If the target is hit, it is subject to the gravitic
fling spell (DC 15 Dexterity saving throw).
A flingstone remains active until triggered or de-activated by
speaking its command word. The command word for a stone is
typically engraved in tiny script on the stone.
SCROLL BOLT
Wondrous item, rare
The head of this metal crossbow bolt can be unscrewed,
revealing that the shaft is hollow. A scroll containing a single spell
of third level or lower can be rolled up and inserted into the bolt.
When the bolt strikes a creature, object, or surface, the spell is
cast. The spell must target a creature, point, or object to activate
properly and must not require concentration. If the spell requires a
spell attack roll, the attack roll made using the crossbow
substitutes for the spell attack roll. If the spell allows multiple
attacks (like scorching ray) all attacks must be made against the
target of the bolt.
The bolt is designed to be exceptionally resilient and will survive
impacts and the activation of spells, allowing it to be recovered and
reused.

MONSTER
This is the monster for the encounter.

Description: The original crosscat design consisted of the

abstract clockwork body of a cat with a finely made metal
crossbow mounted where the cat’s head would be. The eyes of
the cross cat are mounted on the front of the crossbow.
Copycat versions of the crosscat tend to be less aesthetic and
abstract in design and some look like mechanical cats with
cross bows mounted on their backs.

The crossbow integrated into a crosscat’s body has a 5 bolt

magazine and a mechanism that automatically draws and
reloads after a shot is fired. If a crosscat is killed, there is a
50% chance the crossbow and mechanism will be intact and
usable. If they are damaged, they can be repaired using the
normal rules for repairing an item.
