[QUOTE="plisnithus8, post: 7058022, member: 6870553"] Sounds like more information is needed so here goes... The "party of 5 (fighter, 3 clerics, & artificer/gun) averaging 5th level in a homebrew Asian campaign." The party will be asked to find, suggest, or have built a structure of some sort. The patron for these tasks is a high-level egotistical wizard that one of the player clerics signed a magically binding contact with to obey - this patron sets up often nonsensical "tests" for his disciple to complete such as this design a vault, break into the vault, escape said vault while protecting a fragile innocent targeted by guards. The vault is said to protect the player's valuables while they are adventuring, but the patron places the "valuable" daughter of one of the players inside. Monsters they have encountered are mostly home-brewed as well: sumo-trolls, shark bats, bananas, tasloi, ichor flies, giant tardigrades, ovoids, infantasmordial, hopping vampire, dream eaters, erians, oni, skin smiths, Doc Cu'o'c, jun-ki, bakemotos, gibran, bonsai treats, bake-kujira, shark hengeyokai, dianoga, Nagā Nagi, swampyderm, magma genasi, murder turtles, colossal ape, hydrunculi, komainu, go-jira, wooly rhinos, daliphant, but also gibbering mothers, kaiju construct, ammutseba, rust monsters, stripes, giant octopi, warfordged, mephitis, giant vulture, swarms of rats, marrow, plesiosaurus, giant crab, giant toads, animated rugs, awakened trees and shrubs, swarms of snakes, kenny, ghosts, wolves, yeti, treat, star-spawn, mi-go, hook horror & quaggoth spore servants, weeping treants, ki-rin, incubi/succubi, flesh golems, gauth, shoggoth, morkoth, etc. I like the responses you've given [thank you], but my players will go low-magic in their vault build; and the patron will likely alter the plans slightly so the players don't know exactly what to expect (the bastard!).
