they’ve killed them all
Brave New World: A Transformer with delusions of
grandeur is breeding a new master race. Unwanted
Changelings and Abominations have been loosed on
the world, posing a threat to travelers, isolated farms,
and even small settlements. The individual horrors
must be wiped out (or restored to normality) before
more innocents die, while a major expedition must be
mounted to take on and destroy the Transformer and
minions in their lair before an army of Abominations
is created and unleashed.
Manimal: The region is afflicted with an outbreak of
outlawry (or piracy). The true identity of the rogue is
unknown as he uses Changeling magic to transform
his features. The raids will become more daring as the
Transformer takes advantage of animal and monstrous
forms. Allies and enemies may become (un)
willing recipients of transformation.
The Body Snatchers: Graves have been desecrated and
the locals suspect an Undead infestation. Actually
Reanimators are despoiling the graves to create Amalgams.
Anyone who finds out the truth is either killed or
converted into a Living Amalgam. The Reanimators’
eventual aim is to control the town/city – with their
Living Amalgams as puppet rulers. The PCs must
discover the truth and stop this evil plan.
The Broken Bargain: Years (perhaps even decades) ago,
a Paladin or other good individual volunteered to
become the animating life essence of an entity, so that
he might continue to serve his cause. However the
entity is governed by a Glyph and has now fallen into
the ownership of an evil master who uses it for his own
dark purposes. The entity will need help to destroy its
master and win its freedom. For a twist, perhaps the
spirit isn’t what he claims – perhaps he is really a
demon who has been imbedded to forestall his own
evil.
CONSTRUCT COMPANION
The Little People: The star attraction of a travelling circus
or carnival is its theatrum mundi. Instead of being an
elaborate Machine Automaton, the miniature actors
are actually tiny Golems, Constructs, or Simulacra.
During the day, they entertain the crowds. At night,
they are employed as burglars, spies and even assassins.
Their small size allows them to slip unnoticed, while
mechanical contraptions and magical abilities make
them deadly opponents.
The New Machines: Breakthroughs in Automata design
are imminent. The PCs may include an Artificer or be
employed to protect an Artificer. The campaign may
involve acquiring a suitably wealthy patron, building
and testing the Automata, and conducting and combating
the fantasy equivalents of industrial espionage
and sabotage. If the Automata are a novel form of
transport (submarine or flying vehicle), successful
trials may lead to voyages of exploration to new lands.
The Return of the Creator: A long time ago, a powerful
creator fashioned a veritable army of Golems and/or
Constructs to defend a stronghold, city, or temple. A
hereditary caste of Keepers became the entities’ masters,
while the creator disappeared. Now generations
later, the creator has secretly returned and is using his
supremacy (in countermanding orders from their
masters) to infiltrate and subvert the entities. The
authorities and/or PCs may slowly come to realize that
something is subtly wrong, but unraveling the truth
should form the basis for a series of conspiratorial /
mystery scenarios.
The Spirit Trap: An alchemist is trapping Spirits within
Golems. This is disturbing the magical balance of the
region as the imprisonment of Totem Spirits and
Shaman Spirits prevents them from helping their tribes
and the ideals that the totems represent are fading
from the world. Perhaps the alchemist is doing this
deliberately. The Spirits must be freed and it is up to
the PCs to accomplish this.
