[QUOTE="Nomad4life, post: 2580032, member: 28645"] Encounter 9: The six sided die As the party escapes from the toothless hag, they enter this frigid area. Read the following text: The doorknob is in the secret compartment beneath the stack of Sears catalogs, and would not think of stealing from or cheating a character. If the players examine the six-sided-die, they notice that is contains exactly six sides. The die is unarmed, and thus it is impossible to determine if it is a pilgrim or wayfarer. Encourage the players to roll the die to see what it does. One good way to do this is to tell them that they cannot leave the room until they all roll the die (this is not true.) Another method is to threaten the players with castration unless they roll the die (this is true.) When the players roll the die, the characters are affected in specific ways; -On a 1 or 5, the character’s maximum carrying capacity is reduced by half. -On a 2 or 6, the character’s charisma is doubled while his intelligence is reduced to 3. -On a 3 or 4, the character may never again joke or sing loudly, and a random character somewhere in the world loses his favorite pet. -On a 5 or 2, the character falls asleep, but his gold is not stolen. -On a 7, this entire module is destroyed. Regardless of whether the players decide to roll or become castrated, the six-sided-die attacks them after the last character has rolled. Dice (AC 1-6 [random]; MV 1-6; HD 1-6; hp 1-6; #AT 1-6; Dmg 1-6 [randomness]; % Lair 1-6%) The die will attack until slain, but will NOT stop attacking if the party is slain. It will find the next party the players roll up and immediately attack them as well. After the battle, the party may leave, not leave, or take the doorknob which deals 4d10 damage against anything that escapes into secret passages. A gnome who has watched this encounter from the shadows reveals himself as the party leaves. He warns them about the existence of weredice, then dramatically gives himself a mortal paper cut with a Sears catalog. [/QUOTE]
