Tiny homes andpagodas dot the landscape, and the average cityinhabi tant is just one inch high in comparison tothe PCs. The scrying relay for this area is a rotat+ing radar dish on top of one of the skyscrapers.Three doors seem to hover in mid-air onefoot above the ground. All three are made ofwood but one (leading to Area G) has a handlemade of gOld. If the proper sequence of knocks isused (4/6/2) it gives access to Area G1.A gray mist forms the "walls" and 30-£00thigh"ceiling" of this area. This mist is the EtherealPlane.Rampaging through the city is a lizard likecreature that is tearing grea t chunks out of thebu ild ings. In relation to the PCs, it is about sixfeet tall. Tiny figures flee in terror from it, whilefist-sized metallic "beetles" (tan ks) shoot tinyprojectiles that bounce off the lizard. To them, themonster is 430 feet tall.If the PCs merely watch from a doorway, thelizard ignores them. Should they step down intothe city, however, it immediately attacks this newthreat. The PCs remain at their current size; to theThe Deadly Danceinhabitants of Tokyo, a six-foot-tall human PC isa 430- foot giant. Unless they are ca reful, the PCswil l squash dozens of innocent civilians witheach step.Besides its phyical attacks, the lizard has atriple-tiered gaze weapon. On the first round itacts as a ray of enfeeblement. On the second roundit acts as a cone of cold, inflicting Id4+20 points ofdamage, and from then on fires magic missiles at arate of two per round (one from each eye) tha tcause 3d4+3 damage each.If the lizard is reduced to one-quarter hitpoints, it lumbers off into the mist. Without somemagical means of entering the Ethereal Plane, thePCs will be unable to follow.Giant Lizard: AC 5; MY 15; HD 12; hp 58; THACO9; <AT 3; Omg ld6/1d6/5d8; AL NE; SA gazeweapon; SD nil; MR 20%; ML steady (12); XP4,000.----------------------------------------------------and ----------------------------------------------------There are thousands of books in this room,w ritten in a multitude of languages. Manyare from other worlds and cover subjects thaiare incomprehensible to the PCs (nuclearphysics, cybernetics, ecology of alien creatures,etc.) The "boo ks" take many forms:papyrus sc ro lls, clot h ~bou nd books, claytable~ven computer disks!----------------------------------------------------I think we quit when we reached this room.</blockquote>
