REVERIE FALLING (2)

PRIMER

AGES ago, you were selected as CHOSEN PARAGONS and CAPTURED by the
XENOTERUM

Under XENOTERUM DOMINION you were IMPRISONED in COFFIN-SHAPED

SPACECRAFTS and TRANSPORTED to the ASTRAL SEA

There, in your HOLDING CELLS, you were CONDEMNED to TORUTROUS

PSIONIC REVERIE indefinitely, only to be awakened when PROPHECY became
REALITY
CENTURIES later, The DEATH of a a GOD SCATTERED the COFFIN ships, among
other things, across EXISTENCE

LANDFALL

It starts as a single star, gleaming
brighter
than the others. Then, a streak in the
sky.
Whatever alloy that encases your cell
disintegrates as you fall like a meteorite
and spike into the ground.
Your holding cell has fallen from orbit.
It’s a little more than an iron cage, still
glowing, hot with embers
Incredibly, you’re still live. You were
cased in ice that mostly shattered on
impact.
Shivering, pale as ghost and terribly
weak, you notice beings with lanterns
approach your cell.
Normally, the folk of these lands would
destroy such a cell on sight. But these
men
are desperate. Their leader, a man
called
RIFTER, steps forward.

RIFTER offers to REALEASE them, only if they promise to help the townsfolk of
BARSTONE. RIFTER is very hard to deceive. If they disagree, roll 1d4 (LET
THEM ROT, GEDDAH FOOD, LIGHT EM’ UP, INTIMIDATE WITH FIRING
SQUAD)

The CELL is sealed from the outside. IT has an ANTIMAGIC AURA. Without
help, heroes are trapped.

 PCs can collect their GEAR nearby, scattered about and smoldering. Each PC
has 1 MYSTERIOUS CRYSTAL with their loot.

RIFTER has two DOGS that take a LIKING to the PCs, LOCK AND STOCK.

 THE MANANORE is an EVER-BURNING LAKE with isles and shelves of
UNMELTING ICE inhabited by the Froglike demons called the GEDDAH. The
Barstone dwarves Harvest fuel using CRYSNET parachute SAILS attached to
THUMPERS. The parachute sails drain FUEL into the thumper’s reservoirs. The
Thumpers downhaul the sails to maximize HARVESTING and the rhythmic
crystalline vibrations keep the Geddah at bay.
SOMEONE’S BEEN FUCKING WITH THE OPERATION. THE THUMPERS ARE
MOSTLY DISABLED AND THE CRYSNETS HAVE BEEN PICKED APART.

A recent BARSTONE CONVOY was ambushed at THE EXITS 88 OVERPASS.

We have intel from BURR, the sole survivor, that KAYDA GEARHART was
working with OUTSIDERS.
BURR said KAYDA had my dog, STOCK, and THE OUTSIDERS all wore
protective eyewear.
Unfortunately, Burr DIED this morning.

Without the THUMPERS our resources are tapped with keeping the GEDDAH at
bay, so we need you to go and INVESTIGATE.

The incident at the overpass is still fresh, so that’d be the best place to start.

RIFTER will HAPPILY ESCORT them to the OVERPASS.

was CAPTURED by PRESTON JOHN
and forced to take the PROZIUM. She’s
been secretly taking the prozium and
being indoctrinated by PRESTON

 (NODE B) : THE CARDOVA PLAZA is a run down strip mall currently inhabited by
the Outsiders. The OUTSIDERS made a PERIMETER WALL with BROKEN CARS
around the strip mall. There’s a PHARMACY, CARDOVA GAS STATION,
LAUNDROMAT, PAWN SHOP, CARDOVA CAFE, GENERAL STORE and the rest of
the shops are burned down. The empty shells of road vehicles are scattered around
the parking lot.
THE CLERICS are extraplanar travelers that were BAMPHED while raiding a
REBEL FEELER SHIP. They don’t know how they got here and they’ve been her ea
few years. Following the devout teachings of PRESTON JOHN they have managed
to remain unfeeling. Some have managed, through meditation, to no longer require
their PROZIUM DOSE.

(NODE C): SCOCCO AND TRIONI PHOTO DEV. LAB is a small dusty front store
with a service counter and two 10ft long retail display shelving aisles. The shelves
don’t hold anything of interest except an old polaroid camera still in the packaging.

(NODE D): PRESTON John’s Secret Lair is an empty subway terminus. There is a
singular Subway car. in the middle of the subway car is a gem embedded helmet
hooked up to various wires coming from several directions. The lights are on in the
subway but the electricity is flickering and dimming often. The pcs have some time to
scope out the room until an empty elevator descends and the electricity is cut. This
only happens if they stay long enough. Players all get a chance to act, then Preston
Arrives.
The actual terminus is 200 FEET from the SURFACE, and the two platforms leading
down have BLAST doors and TRAPS. They can bypass the blast doors by taking
either of the two trapped entrances.

1. TRAP: BLAST door RAIL BAR 4. TRAP: going through the turnstiles.

 SPIKES. Lifting one of the blast
doors triggers a swinging spiked log

3. After the rails are magnetized,
Another train appears in 1d4
rounds. IT’s bright. Rigged with
flamethrowers.
The arms of the turnstiles are
blades, and going through one
triggers a spinning blade trap that
spins in a 40ft straight line.
5. TRAP: Opening the
TRANSFORMER room door
shocks the GEDDAH and opens
the doors.
6. MAGNET TRAIN RAILS. When the
villain tries to escape, the RAILS
magnetize, sucking all metal within
40ft range. The subway car was
demagnetizing. The electrical is for
the helm.
7. GUN CROSSFIRE WIRE TRAP

Preston fights off the PCs until half HP then attempts to leave
on the TRAIN.

1. PRESTON JOHN intends to CHARGE the SPELLJAMMER HELM (embedded

with CRYSTALS) and ride the RAILCAR to the END of the tracks, where one of
the coffin ships is three-quarters buried looking like any other wrecked structure.

2. PRESTON John is trying to escape to a BURIED XENOTERUM Ship. He wants

to use the SHIP’s Psionic power crystal to MIND CONTROL the GEDDAH and
create a new LIBRIA.

3. This will be done through Prozium distribution during Gedda nesting incubation.
Administer doses into embryo.

4. Activating the ship’s crystal will ATTRACT the XENOTERUM. Starting a new
universal age of INQUIRY.
