The Temple Between
SPECIAL ATTACK
The berbalang has three more firebombs in its possession.
It makes an attack roll when it throws the
firebomb, but it misses only on a natural 1, because
it’s not aiming for an individual, merely a particular
square. (On a natural 1, select a random square adjacent
to the one at which it was aiming.) The firebomb
explodes in a burst 1. It causes no immediate damage,
but it fills those squares with fire as defined in “Features
of the Area.”
Features of the Area
Illumination: The combination of daylight and
fire provide as much bright light as the PCs could
ever want.
Boards: These boards were placed to facilitate
evacuation from one building to another. They can be
kicked or pushed off with a DC 5 Athletics check, or a
DC 20 Athletics check if someone is currently standing
on them.
Buildings: The buildings range from one to four
stories (2 to 8 squares) in height. Climbing the walls
requires a DC 15 Athletics check.
Fire: The marked squares are on fire when combat
begins. Creatures can enter or move through the
squares unharmed—essentially running through the
flames—but any creature that begins its turn in a fiery
square takes 2d6 fire damage.
At the start of the berbalang’s turn each round, one
square adjacent to each fiery square becomes a fiery
square. (Either choose or determine randomly.)
