INTRODUCTION

T he Rift of Seeping Night is an adventure designed JUDGES NOTE ON

for 5 to 7 1st-level characters that takes the party
to the isolated city of Sphyre. For ages this moun-
tain city has basked peacefully upon its sun-drenched rock
ledge high among the Torrith Mountains, however, lately
the townsfolk have been worrying about the waning of day-
light over the past years and the arrival of the fell creatures
seen swarming the increasingly darkened night skies.
ADVENTURE BACKGROUND
SUNDIALS, STATUES &
SOLAR ORBS
The sundials in areas 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5 are nearly identi-
cal save for each of them having a unique inscription
along its edge. There is also a single extinguished so-
lar orb in each of these areas. By illuminating the solar
orbs, either by placing one lit orb next to another or by
placing an extinguished orb in a beam of light from the
ceiling in area 1-7 or 2-4, the orbs come to life. They be-

Upon further investigation of the sundial:
There is an inscription along the edge of the sundial that reads:
“The Light of Day shines upon its supplicants.” (See Handout 2-3)
This sundial corresponds with statue 1 in area 1-2. When
the extinguished solar orb from this area is lit, it will float
upward and spiral around the area before coming to its fi-
nal position hovering above the sundial. The light cast by
the orb in this position causes the gnomon on the sundial
to point to rune 3, indicating that the stone disk (from area

with earthy fungal pungency and through the stalks, toward the
center of the circular room, there is a shaft of light beaming down
from above.
Three humanoid-like mushrooms wander this area. The vis-
age of a skull is carved into their fleshy caps. Their eyes glow

You discover a sundial in the center of the room near the shaft of
natural light beaming down from over 100’ overhead via a hole in
the cavern roof. An extinguished solar orb lies on the ground just
5 feet from where the beam is casting its circular pool of light onto
the ground.
Upon further investigation of the sundial:
There is an inscription along the edge of the sundial that reads:
“The Light of Day shines upon my brother.” (See Handout B-3)
This sundial corresponds with statue 2 in area 1-2. When the
solar orb from this area is illuminated, it will float upward
and spiral around before hovering above the sundial. The
gnomon on the sundial points to rune 8. Indicating statue
2’s stone disk should be oriented to rune 8.

 GRAVE OF THE GEARWRIGHT
A Level 2 Adventure by Dieter Zimmerman • Edited by Rev. Dak J Ultimak
Playtesters: Harrison Hark Levans, Angela Hampton, Erina-Marie Ryder, Sierra White, Nate Purvis, and Boone.
INTRODUCTION
G rave of the Gearwright is a short DCC RPG ad-
venture intended for 4-6 characters of level 2. It is
heavily inspired by Goodman Games’ DragonMech
setting, but it’s still a DCC RPG adventure so no knowledge
of that setting is needed to enjoy the adventure.
Master Gearwright Alia Coppermantle is in peril, and the
player characters are persuaded to investigate her fate. First,
they must break into the gearwright’s tower and face its de-
fense systems. Once inside, they discover that the tower and
workshop have been invaded by alien life forms from the
moon. The mysterious lunar creatures have taken over the
gearwright’s latest project: a mechanical suit of powered ar-
mor made of lunar metal.
Parties might find a thief useful, as well as a character with
a mechanically-inclined occupation. Neither are necessary
for successful completion of the adventure, however. The
majority of threats in the adventure are either mechanical or
alien in nature, and thus are highly resistant to mind-affect-
ing spells and abilities. A wizard or cleric with those types
of spells will find them largely ineffective.
POSSIBLE ADVENTURE HOOKS
1. The characters are hired by a friend of Coppermantle’s
to find out why no one has heard from her in weeks,
and to help her if she requires aid.
2. The characters are hired by a rival of Coppermantle’s to
find out why no one has heard from her in weeks, and
to steal any of her secrets they can.
3. 
The characters are in search of specific engineering
knowledge, and were told that Gearwright Copper-
mantle may have the information they want.
4. The tower is discovered by chance while traveling.
ADVENTURE BACKGROUND
A lia Coppermantle was a talented dwarf smith in
her early years, but her imagination always ex-
ceeded her skill. That changed when she found
Dotrak’s Manual buried in an archive, a tome bound with
copper wire, and with covers of a shimmering blue metal.
The book detailed amazing devices, feats of engineering
only made possible through the power of Dotrak. The Man-
ual described Dotrak less as a singular intelligent being, and
more as an impersonal force of nature. Coppermantle stud-
ied the book, practiced its teachings, and before long she
could complete any project she could conceive of.

THE GEARWRIGHTS
GUILD
According to those who have heard of them, the Gear-
wrights Guild is a tiny, loose collection of crackpot tin-
kers. But by their own description, they are an ancient
order of engineers, technicians, and coglayers that ex-
ists to further research into the mechanical sciences. In
this current age, that is dominated by magic and ex-
traplanar powers, it is true that the Guild is small and
virtually unheard of by most people. Dotrak’s Manual
claims that was not always the case, though. It speaks
of an Age of Walkers several millennia ago where gi-
ant mechanical cities in humanoid form roamed the
lands, keeping their citizens protected by battling
any threat, no matter how large. Most elves and other
long-lived creatures say the Age of Walkers is pure
mythology, but there are a few antiquated discoveries
that lend some credence to the book’s story.
The modern Gearwrights Guild is a secretive and
self-absorbed organization, with only maybe a dozen
members scattered across the land. They guard their
knowledge as jealously as any wizard protects their
grimoire. The gearwrights tend to overestimate their
influence, and their ultimate goal is nothing short of
improbable: to bring about a Second Age of Walkers.
The book’s covers turned out to be made from the moon.
The moon-metal had inconsistent, changeable properties
that fascinated Coppermantle and inspired all sorts of amaz-
ing ideas in her inventive mind. The covers weren’t enough
metal to craft anything useful with, but the inspiration stayed
with Coppermantle as she aged and rebuilt the Gearwrights
Guild, an ancient organization devoted to the power of Do-
trak (see sidebar). When she constructed her workshop, she
included a tower observatory where she could watch the
moon and be alerted if any more lunar rocks made their way
to the planet’s surface.
Gearwright Coppermantle’s persistence finally paid off.
Two years ago, an enormous meteor originating from the
moon fell to the planet, breaking apart as it did so and strik-
ing several locations. One of the impact sites was not far
from Coppermantle’s isolated tower, where she was work-
ing on a major project that would surely validate her rank of
Master Gearwright: a 15’ tall mechanically-powered walker
like those of Gearwright lore. When the meteor struck, she
was further inspired to build the contraption out of exotic
lunar metal. She called the project the Selenic Walker.
 THE LUNAR MENACE
The life that exists on the moon is truly alien. The
thoughts, motivations, goals, and emotions of lunar
creatures (if they even have such things) are not just
difficult for terrestrial beings to understand, they are
outright impossible to grasp. The actions of lunar crea-
tures may even seem completely random at times. As
a judge, you should describe what the creatures do,
but never attempt to explain why they do it.
Lunar beings gain a +10 bonus on saves against mind-
affecting or emotion-manipulating effects. If a char-
acter tries to read the thoughts of a lunar creature
though an ESP spell or similar effect, the spell not only
automatically fails, but the character must make a DC
15 Willpower save or be rendered catatonic for 1d10
rounds by the incomprehensible thoughts. Similarly,
comprehend languages cast on a lunar creature or lunar
writings has the same effect.
Physiologically, lunar life varies wildly according to
its species, but all lunar creatures share some traits.
Their flesh is interlaced with ribbed tubes, like abnor-
mally large blood vessels, that undulate disturbingly.
They have oily blood that is a creamy, pearlescent
color.
Lunar creatures are not made of traditional terrestrial
elements, but something subtly different that reacts to
terrestrial elements in different ways. Lunar creatures
take only half damage from fire-, water-, and air-based
attacks, or no damage on a successful save. They take
double damage from earth-based attacks and spells
Unbeknownst to her, the meteor was also the incubator of
lunar creatures called pith and the symbiotic lunar microbes
that grow with them. The microbes infected the gearwright’s
engineers, providing bodies for their hive mind, using their
hosts’ knowledge to finish building the walker their own
way. Coppermantle resisted assimilation, but was wounded
and trapped in her quarters by the pith. She survived for a
while by crawling around the ventilation shafts, but before
long it became apparent that her injury was going to be the
end of her.
In a last-ditch effort to prolong her existence, she crawled to
the storage room and retrieved the large chunk of thought
crystal that was stored there. Thought crystal has the spe-
cial property that it can copy and contain the thoughts of
the first person who touches it...and this chunk was large
enough that it could potentially contain Coppermantle’s en-
tire personality. As her body died, she transferred her mind
into the crystal.

PLAYERS START
COPPERMANTLE’S TOWER
T
he tower is merely a means of holding the lunar
observatory above the surface. It is constructed of
smooth stone with very little decoration—it is of
purely practical construction. The tower is 50’ in diameter
and 200’ tall, topped with a glass dome 15’ high. There are
no windows at all excepting the dome. A large metal door at
ground level is the only obvious entrance.
The door can be opened easily, but it is trapped. Five di-
als adorn the door, each with five symbols. The symbols are
clearly meant to represent: sun, moon, mountain, river, tow-
er. If all five are turned to “mountain”, the trap is disarmed
(good passwords are not one of Coppermantle’s strengths).
Opening the door without disarming the trap electrifies it,
causing 2d10 damage to whomever is touching it. A thief
can decode the combination with a DC 14 Pick Lock check.
The door is the easiest entrance to Coppermantle’s work-
shop, but enterprising and daring characters may find other
options. The tower can be climbed with a DC 15 climb sheer
surfaces check for each 20’ (10 successful checks to get to the
dome). Once at the top, the climber could break the glass
dome and enter area 1-4.
If characters scout the area around the tower, they will find
the ventilation shaft that leads down to area 1-7. It is cov-
ered with a steel grate that is very difficult to break (DC 22
Strength check or 100 points of damage.) Once the grate is
open, there is a 50’ shaft straight down with a dangerous
spinning fan at the bottom.
Unless otherwise noted, all areas of the tower and under-
ground workshop are lit with pale blue alchemical lights in
the walls.
Area 1-1—Entrance Platform: The interior of the tower is a
vast empty space. A 15’ square platform extends from the doorway
out into the emptiness, with a solid surface dimly visible 50’ below.
A narrow metal stairway spirals up the interior of the tower, lit ev-
ery 20’ or so by blue alchemical lights in the wall. A metal podium
about waist-high sits at the far end of the platform.
The metal podium functioned as the elevator control box
(currently in area 1-3). A quick examination doesn’t reveal
its function, but it does reveal that the box is clearly bro-
ken—the surface is dented and cracked, and sparks crackle
from a button that has been removed.
If the control box is touched, a panel on each side of the en-
trance slides open with a hiss, and out of each comes one 3’-
tall humanoid constructs made from metal pipes and clock-
work gears. In place of hands, each has oversized flared
bells like a trumpet.
Blow-bot (2): Init +4; Atk bash +0 melee (1d6) or air blast;

1d20; SP bot immunities; SV Fort +2, Ref +0, Will +4; AL N.
Air blast: As an action, a blow-bot can buffet a target with a
Page 13
Messias Brito (Order #42084268)
 torrent of compressed air. The target takes 1 point of dam-
age from the force of the wind, and is pushed 10’ away from
the blow-bot (DC 12 Fortitude save negates).
Bot immunities: Blow-bots are immune to immune to sleep,
charm, and paralysis spells.
If an air blast blows a character off the platform, they can
make a DC 10 Reflex save to grab the edge of the platform
as they fall. If they fail that, well, they’re probably not going
to enjoy the ride.
The blow-bots were originally intended to patrol the stair-
way and keep it clean but Fallon Fladeboe (see area 1-4), in
his escape to the observatory, smashed the control box and
reprogrammed the bots, hoping the measures would pre-
vent the lunar pith from following.
The stairs are narrow enough that they must be traversed in
single file, but there is a flimsy metal guard rail to prevent
anyone from falling into the tower.
Area 1-2—Gun Trap: Halfway up the spiral stairway, an
automated weapon attached to the opposite wall of the tower
will start firing metal slugs at the characters. For each round
they are in the gun’s arc of fire, every character must make
a DC 12 Reflex save or be struck for 1d10 points of damage
(characters with a shield get +1d for the save). If the characters
run, they will be in the gun’s arc of fire for 2 rounds. If they
take a more leisurely pace, they will be fired on for 4 rounds.
Area 1-3—Elevator Platform: The stairway ends at the top
of the tower with a platform similar to the one at the bottom of the
stairs, but with a circular platform, suspended by heavy chains
running into holes in the ceiling, at the end of it. A steel ladder
next to the top of the stairway connects to a scratched and dent-
ed metal hatch in the ceiling. A tangled mass of spiked tentacles
wriggles and thrashes about at the bottom of the ladder, made of
Messias Brito (Order #42084268)
rubbery white flesh. Even though it has no eyes, it’s obvious that
the creature’s attention focuses on you as several of the twisting
whips point at you.
The creature is a lunar pith that followed Fallon from low-
er levels and has been patiently attacking the hatch to get
through to the dwarf. The pith consists mainly of dozens
of thin, whip-like tentacles with curved spikes on the ends.
The spike-whips are all attached to a small spherical lump
of pale flesh that serves as a body. Pith have no visible eyes,
mouths, or other features.
Lunar pith: Init +1; Atk spike +2 melee (1d6 plus pithing);
Crit M/1d10; AC 13; HD 2d8+8; hp 17; MV 20’; Act 2d20; SP
lunar traits; SV Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +7; AL N.
Lunar traits: Like all lunar creatures, pith get a +10 bonus
to saves against mind-affecting and emotion-manipulating
effects, and attempts to magically read their thoughts or un-
derstand their language can result in damage to the caster.
Pith take half damage from fire-, water-, and air-based at-
tacks, or no damage on a successful save. They take double
damage from earth-based attacks.
Pithing: When a pith’s spike strikes a creature near the cen-
ter of its cognitive abilities (its head, in the case of most ter-
restrial creatures), the lunar monstrosity absorbs some of
the target’s knowledge or instincts. Any creature struck by
a pith tentacle takes 1d3 Intelligence damage, and the pith
receives +1d on attacks and +2 AC against that target (DC
14 Fortitude save negates all effects, +1d on the save if the
character is wearing a helmet) as it absorbs some knowledge
of their tactics.
There is an undamaged elevator control box on the platform
like the one below. There is a single orange button on it that
will call the elevator platform to this level if it is not already
here. A similar control box on the elevator platform has two
buttons clearly labeled
with an up arrow and a
down arrow. If any but-
tons are pressed, a roar
will come from above
as the engine attached
to the winch in area 1-4
powers up. As long as
one of the arrow but-
tons is held down, the
elevator platform will
slowly move in that di-
rection.
Area 1-4—Observa-
tory: The top of the tow-
er is a single large room
covered by a dome of thick
glass. A huge device made
from brass tubes and glass
lenses dominates one side
of the dome, looking much
like a spyglass on a much
larger scale. Near the cen-
Page 15
 ter of the room, heavy chains wrap around a winch before descend-
ing through the floor. A nearby table is covered with a mess of
papers, and under the table is the recently-dead corpse of a dwarf
dressed in gray overalls with a gear-like symbol on the chest.
The telescope was built by Coppermantle to keep an eye on
the moon so she would know if chunks of valuable lunar ma-
terials fell to the planet. Unless the characters are in the dome
at night, they won’t see much if they look through the lens.
The papers on the desk are largely lists of coordinates that
make little sense to anyone not versed in astronomy or car-
tography. They mark locations in the sky, on the moon,
and on the surface of the planet. One large sheet is clearly a
map of the area surrounding the tower, with three red Xes
marked in various spots that show where lunar meteors fell
recently. The one closest to the tower is circled, indicating
where Coppermantle found the lunar metal that now forms
the Selenic Walker. Other maps are not immediately clear,
but astute observers will notice they show no bodies of wa-
ter and no forests, only hills, mountains, and cities. These
are maps of the lunar surface.
The dwarf under the table is not quite dead yet, he is merely
comatose! This is Fallon Fladeboe, an engineer who avoided
infection from the lunar microbes and fled to the observa-
tory. He is severely dehydrated and starving, having been
trapped here for 2 weeks. If given water and food regularly,
he will recover consciousness in a few days. A successful lay
on hands will revive him enough to speak, but he will still
perish within 24 hours without some water.
Fallon can tell the PCs about events leading up to his self-
imprisonment, but he can only talk about the Gearwright’s
plans and work in general terms; Fallon has not been direct-
ly involved in the building of the Selenic Walker.
Area 1-5—Elevator Bottom: The elevator platform descends
to the bottom of the tower, and then further down a narrow shaft
that opens into a domed room. With a clank and a lurch, the plat-
form settles on a solid stone floor made of plain smooth stone, but
marked with scratches and gouges where heavy things have been
dragged across it.
Three dwarves move about the room, carrying crates from a door
on the north wall in the direction of another door in the west wall.
Their gaunt bodies are covered by gray overalls with a gear symbol
on the chest and tools hanging at the belts. Their eyes are blank,
but they do not move in a zombie-like fashion. Their movements
are decidedly still “un-dwarflike”; they move smoothly and slowly
with an eerie inhuman steadiness, but with an occasional burst of
unnecessary speed, like time around them does not flow at a con-
sistent rate. They each have a splotch of silvery gunk on their faces
that throbs with biological power.
Distant metallic thuds reach your ears from somewhere.
Infected engineers (3): Init -1; Atk wrench +0 melee (1d4);

unless they make a DC 12 Willpower save. The infection
brings the victim under the control of any nearby intelligent
lunar creature. Any successful neutralize poison or disease
spell will kill the microbes and end the infection, as will 3
dice of healing from lay on hands.
Without a lunar pith or other source of lunar intelligence
nearby to control them, infected creatures react in seemingly
random ways to unfamiliar creatures such as the characters.
Roll 1d6 for each infected engineer to see how they react:

1-2 The infected creature goes about its business, ig-
noring the characters unless attacked or otherwise
harmed.
3-4 The infected creature immediately attacks.
5 The infected creature moves close to the characters
and follows them, simply observing unless attacked
or otherwise harmed.
6 The infected creature attempts to communicate. It
makes noises with its vocal cords, but the lunar in-
telligence does not understand terrestrial communi-
cation and the noises are nonsensical.
An engineer that is cured of the infection will be able to tell
the story of the tower up until the point they were infected,
but have only the haziest memories of events after that.
Area 1-6—Storage: This room is tiled with plain, undecorat-
ed stone. It is clearly a storage area; metal shelves line the walls,
crates and boxes are neatly stacked on the floor, and barrels full of
coal occupy one corner. A large crate lies open in the middle of the
floor, still packed with straw to protect whatever it contained. A
number of finger-sized shards of crystal are scattered on the floor
around the empty crate. A ventilation shaft in the west wall near
the ceiling is open, its protective grate having been cut through
and thrown to the floor.
The boxes and crates are mostly full of mechanical parts, but
some contain more mundane things like ceramic pots, tools,
stone bricks, etc.
The crystals slivers are parts of the thought crystal that Cop-
permantle intended to use as the walker’s control device.
When she realized her wound was going to kill her, she
took the crystal to her room through the ventilation shaft
and put as much of her consciousness into it as she could
(see area 1-14 for details). The remaining slivers each have
enough power to hold a single thought and accompanying
emotion. When first touched, a shard will copy the surface
thought and emotion of the being who touched it (unless
otherwise stated by the player, it will probably be an image
of the crystal shard itself along with, “Hmmm, what’s this?”
and a sense of mild curiosity). When touched subsequent
times, the crystal will transmit those thoughts to the mind
of the person touching it. The shards take on a pale yellow
color when they have a thought stored in them.
The ventilation shaft is 3’ wide and 2’ high. A humanoid
could fit into it, but they would be forced to crawl.
 Area 1-7—Ventilation Fan: A 30’-diameter shaft rises from
the lowest depths of the workshop to the surface above. A giant fan
spins dangerously 20’ up from the bottom of the shaft, filling it and
blowing stale air up to the surface. A flimsy metal catwalk runs
around the perimeter of the shaft about 10’ below the fan.
The ventilation shafts are 3’ wide and 2’ high. A humanoid
could fit into one, but they would be forced to crawl. The
shafts to areas 1-6, 1-8, and 1-10 are on the level of the cat-
walk. The shafts to area 1-14 are on the floor level. The grates
into area 1-14 are still intact, but all the others have been cut
open.
Anyone hit by the spinning fan takes 2d10 damage. There is
a mechanism on the wall of area 1-14 that controls the speed
of the fan.
Area 1-8—Commissary: Half the room is occupied by two
wooden tables with eight chairs each. The other half of the room ap-
pears to be a combination of kitchen and pantry. Shelves with bags
and boxes of foodstuff stand against the wall, several of which have
been opened and their contents scattered. There is a small cook-
stove and washbasin. The washbasin still has some dirty dishes
in it, there long enough to start growing mold on them. A metal
grate lies on the floor near the north wall, under an open ventila-
tion shaft.
Messias Brito (Order #42084268)
The food is mostly grains, dried meat, and dried fruit: things
that keep a long time and go well in soups and gruels. On
the floor near the grate is a small yellow crystal about the
size of a human’s finger. The crystal was placed here by
Coppermantle. If touched, the character receives in their
mind an image of the door to Coppermantle’s quarters (area
1-10) along with a sense of urgency.
Area 1-9—Engineers’ Quarters: These are the living
quarters of the engineers, each similar in arrangement and
decoration. Two beds are against the far wall, and a sturdy
wardrobe is in one corner. The wardrobes contain several
sets of gray overalls, some plain shirts, and thick socks. The
judge may allow characters to find various personal trinkets
or minor valuables in each room.
From the hallway, the metallic thumps are quite loud, and char-
acters can see the lunar ooze attacking the door of area 1-10.
Area 1-10—Gearwright’s Quarters: The door to the
Gearwright’s living quarters is solid iron, and protected
with a combination lock. The lunar invaders are unable to
conceive of a combination lock, so one of them has been
trying to break the door open by force for two weeks. This
creates the bashing booms the characters have been hearing
since they entered the bottom level of the tower.
Page 17
 The creature is a lunar ooze, a grayish-white lump of veined
sludge about 5’ in diameter. It bashes at the door with lumpy
protrusions, turning a thin layer of the steel to ooze with
each blow. Unless the characters are particularly stealthy, it
turns to attack them as soon as they arrive.
Lunar ooze: Init -2; Atk slam +2 melee (1d8 plus oozifica-
tion); Crit M/1d10; AC 14; HD 6d8+3; hp 30; MV 20’; Act
2d20; SP lunar traits, absorb ooze; SV Fort +4, Ref -2, Will
+8; AL N.
Absorb ooze: The lunar ooze can use an action to absorb any
stray bits of ooze it has created with its oozification ability,
healing itself 1d8 hp.
Lunar traits: Like all lunar creatures, lunar oozes get a +10
bonus to saves against mind-affecting and emotion-manipu-
lating effects, and attempts to magically read their thoughts
or understand their language can result in damage to the
caster. They take half damage from fire-, water-, and air-
based attacks, or no damage on a successful save. They take
double damage from earth-based attacks.
Oozification: A target struck by the lunar ooze becomes ooze
itself in the area that was struck. A creature’s clothing, hair,
and outer layers of skin and muscle become a gray porridge
and slough off to the ground, causing 1d4 points of Strength
damage to the creature (DC 15 Fortitude save negates). A
creature can choose to sacrifice their armor, shield, or weap-
on in lieu of attempting a save and automatically succeed,
Page 18
Messias Brito (Order #42084268)
but the item is permanently destroyed as it is transformed
to goo.
The door to the Coppermantle’s room is heavily damaged,
bent, smashed, and turned to ooze in several patches, but
not yet broken through. The lock is so mangled that the com-
bination cannot be used, and the door must be opened by
force. A DC 16 Strength check or 25 points of damage will
open a gap large enough for a humanoid creature to slip
through.
Once the characters have entered the room, read the follow-
ing aloud:
A luxurious iron-wrought four-post bed occupies the far wall.
Tapestries hang on the walls, and soft carpets of various colors
cover the floor. A heavy wooden desk, elaborately carved, and a
matching armoire occupy the west wall. There is an open ventila-
tion shaft in the east wall. The middle of the room is occupied by
a gruesome scene. A halfling-sized chunk of yellow crystal sits on
the carpet, and slumped over it from a fancy chair pulled from
the desk, is the corpse of a well-dressed dwarf woman—blood still
squishing in the rug around it.
Before her passing, Gearwright Coppermantle used the
thought crystal to store her thoughts and memories. She can
communicate telepathically with anyone touching the crystal,
but only through images and emotions. She will answer any
questions and tell her story as best she can, but she will em-
phasize images, with a sense of desperate urgency, of the char-
acters taking this crystal and putting it into the hatch in the
top of the Selenic Walker. She was always planning on using
the crystal as a control device for the Selenic Walker, but she
originally imagined carefully selecting thoughts to program it
rather than using her entire consciousness to control it.
The crystal is large and bulky; a character has a -1d penalty
on all attacks and physical ability checks while carrying it.
Coppermantle wears a medallion made of lunar metal in the
shape of Dotrak’s Gear (30 gp). On the floor, under the ven-
tilation shaft, is the powerful torch she used to cut the grates
open. It is roughly the size and shape of a light crossbow,
but can only damage things within melee range. It does 1d8
damage (2d8 to anything made of metal) and has enough
fuel left in its small tank for 1d20 more uses.
Area 1-11: Archives: The room contains shelves full of books,
cubby holes packed with scrolls, and several heavy tables with
stools. A few technical schematics are unrolled on one of the tables.
At the far end of the room is a stone lectern that looks more like an
altar than anything else, decorated with mathematical formulae
and graphs. On the altar rests a huge book with covers of a shim-
mering blue metal, bound with copper wire. A simple gear shape
adorns the front of it.
The subject matter of the majority of items in the room is
all engineering and mechanical in nature, and probably far
too technical for most PCs. The unrolled schematics on the
table detail different mechanisms that make up the Selenic
Walker. A character that spends a few rounds looking over
the schematics will be able to figure out how to open the
walker’s hatch when they see it in area 1-14.
 The steel book is Dotrak’s Manual, and it functions as a his-
tory of the Gearwrights Guild, a guide to calling upon the
powers of Dotrak the Great Engine, and a basic manual of the
queer blend of engineering and magic that the Gearwrights
use. If a character studies this text for three months, they will
be able to make any engineering-related skill checks with a
d20 if they don’t already.
If the judge wants to allow the Great Engine as a patron or a
deity, the Manual also provides the information a character
needs to make a spiritual connection to Dotrak.
Area 1-12—Parts Storage: Metal is scattered all over the
room. There are shelves, racks, and wall-hangers all designed for
storing and organizing tools and parts, but the objects themselves
are in a chaotic mess.
The parts are mostly useless on their own, things like bolts,
nuts, gears, struts, and chains. Amongst the mess, characters
can find any smithing or metalworking tools they might de-
sire. There are also a few items crafted with Dotrak’s power:
1. A metal mining pick with reinforced hinges that allow it
to be folded up into a rod only 1’ long. It does 1d4 dam-
age if used as a weapon.
2. A metal cube 1’ on each side with a funnel input on one
face and a fan-like output on the opposite. Dotrak’s Man-
ual calls this device a disperser. Any energy supplied to
the input funnel will be dispersed in a cone shape by
the output device, but at a lesser intensity (-1d damage).
A single target fire attack, for example, could be turned
into a multiple-target flaming hands-like attack.
3. A similar cube with a funnel input on one face and a
nozzle-like output on the opposite side, and a dial
on the top. This device is called a transformer, and it
changes any energy input into another type of energy
as determined by the setting of the dial.
Area 1-13—Forge: A wave of heat and red light blasts you as
you open the door, followed quickly by the smell of burning coal.
Several anvils sit around a large forge in the center of the room,
still hot but not currently in use. A ring of mechanical arms tops
the forge, each with a different smithing tool to be put to use at a
moment’s notice. Three gaunt dwarves with silver splotches on
their faces stand still near the door, turning in your direction you
as you enter.
This forge is partially automated by the power of Dotrak,
but it is currently offline as all the parts needed for the Se-
lenic Walker have been completed already. The infected
smiths react randomly to the party, as there is no nearby
intelligence to control them.
If the room is searched, 2d7 small chunks of blue lunar metal
will be found. They are too small to make much with, but
they are worth 5 gp each to the right collector.
Infected smiths (3): Init -1; Atk hammer +1 melee (1d4+1);

unless they make a DC 12 Willpower save. The infection
brings the victim under the control of the pith. Any success-
ful neutralize poison or disease spell will kill the microbes and
end the infection, as will 3 dice of healing from lay on hands.
Area 1-14—Workshop: The huge workshop is bustling with
activity. Several dwarves in overalls sit at workstations while oth-
ers carry around mechanical doodads. Dominating the center of
the room is a 15’ tall blocky humanoid shape made of a shimmering
blue metal. A mass of fleshy white tentacles sits atop the construct.
As you enter the room, the tentacled mass screeches a shrill alarm
and slides into a hatch on the back of the construct. All the dwarves
turn to face you, hefting heavy wrenches, and the construct comes
to life with a thrum of energy.
The pith have made alterations to the walker so that one of
them can pilot it. Assuming the characters’ goal is to get Cop-
permantle’s thought crystal into the walker, they’ll have to
get the pith out of it first, while it and the infected engineers
are trying to destroy them. The hatch where the pith entered
is on top of the walker where it’s difficult to reach, and fur-
thermore it is tightly shut and locked from the inside.
A character can climb to the top of the walker with a DC
15 Agility check or climb sheer surfaces check, and they must
make that check every round to remain on top of it as long
as it is in combat. A character falling off the walker suffers
1d6 damage when they hit the ground. Opening the hatch
can be accomplished in several ways: inflicting 30 points of
damage to the hatch, succeeding at a DC 25 Strength check
(not likely without serious aid), by a DC 16 pick lock check,
or a DC 12 Intelligence check from a character that examined
the schematics in area 1-11.
There is room on the shoulders of the walker for two char-
acters to hold on at once. Fortunately the walker’s range of
motion in the shoulders is limited, and it cannot target char-
acters perched on top of it. Once the hatch is opened, how-
ever, the pith inside can choose to either use the walker’s at-
tacks against characters on the ground, or use its own spike
attacks against characters on top of it.
If the pith is slain or otherwise removed from the walker,
and Coppermantle’s thought crystal placed inside, Gear-
wright Coppermantle will have the Selenic Walker as her
new body. The walker has no vocal speech apparatus, and
no ability to express facial expression, so for the immedi-
ate future Coppermantle’s only method of communication
is through the limited body language and gestures available
to a bulky, inflexible mechanical construct.
For the time being, Coppermantle and the Selenic Walker
are stuck in the workshop as there are no exits large enough
for it. Getting it out was a task for later, but now with no
need for food or water or sleep, Coppermantle can work on
that at her leisure. There are plans and schematics for those
additions to the complex in the library (area 1-11).
