The Screaming Wall of Tiberius

A Location for Mausritter

By Juan Carlos Hernández
Created for the Rittermarch Jam

“[...] unknown what the Titans

built these monoliths for, or
why they left them. All that is
know is that since Tiberius
found them and awoke them,
they’ve served as the guardians
of his lair, eternally screaming,
as if begging to be put out of
their agony”
-Corleth the Cartographer
in “Fantastical locations of the
mouse Kingdoms”

The lair of Tiberius, the enigmatic deaf Wall effects

snake, is set inside of a deep indentation on
the face of a cliff wall. Its entrance is blocke
by the Screaming Wall, a structure
composed of four strange monoliths that
continually emit loud, strange, horrifying
sounds. No mouse has ever seen Tiberius
up close, but there are some who claim to
have seen him lurking around near the
ruins left by the titans of old, or returning to
its lair carrying strange Titan artifacts.
There are rumors of its strange mechanical
servants occasionally wandering though the
streets of nearby settlements at night.
When the players approach the lair, roll for
the location of Tiberius.
Every turn the players spend on the front
side of the wall, roll 1d4 to see the effect of
the wall’s noise.

Creatures
Tiberius
10hp, STR 14, DEX 7, WIL 12, Armor 3
Attack: d8 tail
Critcal damage: Electric bite - player must succeed
STR save or be paralyzed for the next round
Completely deaf. If it hasn’t seen the players yet,
any attempt to sneak past him will be rolled with
advantage.
On closer inspection, when beaten, or when
caught in his quarters, Tiberius will be revealed
to be an old deaf mouse piloting a mechanical
snake.
Mechanical mouse
6hp, STR12, DEX 6, WIL 5, Armor 2
Attack: d6 punch
Tiberius’ servants. They can be seen cleaning,
cooking, or performing other menial tasks.
Will ignore players if they use scrap to disguise
themselves as mechanical mice.
Maschinenmaus
Warband scale,
15hp, STR 16, DEX 4, WIL same as pilot, Armor 3
Attack: d6 punch, d8 tail whip.
A gigantic mechanical mouse that Tiberius plans
on using to conquer neighboring settlements
when it’s finished. Can be turned on by hooking
it up to the crystal, but actually finishing might
be more tricky.
Olga
A mouse who has infiltrated the lair and disguised
herself as a mechanical servant. She will offer the
players help in defeating Tiberius. However, she
just wants the chance to use Tiberius’ tech to start
her own campaing of conquest. If Tiberius is
defeated without damaging the snake suit, she’ll
use it to impersonate him and start commanding
his servants. If the players choose to power on
Maschinenmaus, she’ll be VERY insistent on
being the pilot and, if given control of it, she’ll
turn on the players as soon as Tiberius is defeated.
