Message: <blockquote data-quote="blargney the second" data-source="post: 1602787" data-attributes="member: 14678">IDEA:  The PCs find a treasure map that leads to a cave that has been carved deep into a cliffside by the relentless pounding of the sea.  The entrance is only available when the tide is all the way out, at which point the cave's walls, floor, and ceiling are covered with purple starfish.Progressing back through the grotto, a stench of human offal and garbage becomes increasingly worse.  A natural cavern widens out a ways in, and there is a shallow pool of mingled saltwater and sewage.  An angler ooze (Creature Collection) dwells here, using its bioluminescence to lure the animals brought in by the tide.  The bones of the person who made the treasure map can be found with a diligent search.Out the back of the cavern, another passage continues farther in, eventually leading to a second natural cavern.  A giant purple starfish resides here, eating the choicest bits that come out of the sewer tunnel that empties into this cavern.  It stands on three legs and attacks with its other two legs, drawing prey into its gaping mouth.  A short tentacle protrudes from the body with several eyes.  (It's an otyugh!)A metal-bound treasure chest is hidden in a corner of the room, and it containts a mass of coins that have all become tarnished by the saltwater. They're fused together into one enormous block.  Fuse a magic item into the whole shebang for added PC frustration.A wizards' college/tower is attached to the sewers, and its alchemical labs drain into the sewers.  That's what caused the giant starfish to mutate and the angler ooze to exist.  Here's the fun part: mutate the PCs!  I'm using the mutations from <a href="http://www.crfh.net/" target="_blank">College Roomies from Hell</a> as inspiration:PC #1 gets laser vision that gives him headaches.PC #2 grows a freaky eye in the palm of his hand.PC #3's arm transforms into a tentacle that disgusts most people.-blarg</blockquote>
