TSR 9360 - WGR2 - Free

During the combat the golem will cast its
slow spell and engage the PCs in physical combat.
Snotme will run to a place of relative safety
and hide. He will call the PCs silly names (in a
high pitched voice) and take the following
actions each round. Snotme will cease any attacks
when and if the golem is defeated.
Round One: Snotme will cast dispel magic on
PCs then say, “You call that fighting? I know
brownies that are tougher than all of you!”
Round TWO and after: Snotme will begin
firing sleep arrows at the PCs (beginning with
spell casters) and say things like, “Nap time
for the big folks!” or “Sweet dreams!” or “It’s
Mr. Sandman!”, etc.
Snotme will not aid the characters for any
reason. If Snotme is caught or killed, the golem
will cease fighting immediately.
If the golem is defeated, Snotme quietly
moves to a new location and waits for the PCs
to approach the lake. Then Snotme will yell:
is a big, huge, bad, terrible monster in that
lake. It will eat you up, yep, swallow you
Actually, there is nothing in the lake but a
few fish. The threat is Snotme’s last resort.
When the PCs decide that it is safe to go
near the water, Ansanther performs the following
actions.
Ansanther wearily walks to the water’s
edge. Every step seems to require a tremendous
effort. Ansanther gingerly places the
glass sphere in the water. The sphere slowly
begins to grow, enlarging into a into a
sphere twelve feet in diameter. Ansanther
passes her hand over a part of the sphere
and a small 3‘ X 3’ door appears its side.
Ansanther turns to you and says, “Please
hurry, I feel very weak and I am worried
about Ilkif.’ ’
The sphere is large enough to hold the entire
party. The PCs can soon discover that the
sphere can be rolled across the lake by walking
on the bottom of the sphere as it floats on
the water. The trip takes about one turn.
As the smaller sphere makes contact with
the bottom of the larger sphere, you feel a
change of motion. You are rising, up into the
opaque sphere. The smaller sphere in which
you travel seems to meld into the larger one
as you rise into a small circular foyer, a reception
area. The room contains a padded
bench, a rack holding a hooded cloak and a
cape (both non-magical), and an empty
weapons rack. A set of circular stairs set
into the wall leads upward.
After a moment Ansanther calls Ilkifs name.
No response is heard.
The walls on this level are opaque and made
of some unknown substance. The furniture is
made of wood.
Upon ascending the stairs, you notice that
the walls on this level are transparent from
this side, providing a beautiful view of the
lake and surrounding shore. The floor and
ceiling remain opaque. The furniture in the
room is of an odd design and curious substance.
Arranged in a semicircle in the center of
the room, the pieces seem to be made of an
opalescent material, the color of soap bubbles.
Stairs inset within either wall appear
to be made of the same material. Each stairway
leads to a separate landing.
At the second level Asanther again calls Ilkif s
name. This time a faint moaning can be heard
from the left landing area.
Both landings hold sleeping rooms. Ilkifs is
to the left.
Upon opening the door at the top of the leftmost
landing you see an old man lying in
bed. His sheets and bed covers are twisted
and knotted. He is fevered, delirious, and
moaning softly in pain. Ansanther sees him
and rushes to his side. “Ilkif, my poor
Ilkif. . .”, she cries.
Ilkif is very ill. Ansanther realizes he may not
recover from his sickness. She immediately
turns to the PCs.
