[QUOTE="WayOfTheFourElements, post: 8047072, member: 6904757"] This is exploration: [B]DM say: [/B]You walked into a triangular room with a wooden door on each side. The floor is made of sandstone, stained like a bag of Skittles - all the colors of the rainbow. Spread throughout room are six steel domes, each with a steel handle. [B]DM's notes:[/B] Beneath each dome is a vat of liquid. [I]Dome A:[/I] Purple, bubbling goo. Dries after 1 minute. Acts like a mixture between glue and concrete. DO NOT DRINK. [I]Dome B: [/I]Silver. Smells like lavender. Anything placed inside the vat or in contact with the liquid. shrinks to 1 tenth its size after 1 minute. This is not a curse or magical enchantment. It is a physical transformation. [I]Dome C: [/I]Shamrock green. Smells like springtime. Any creature placed in this vat or who imbues its liquid is [I]reincarnated,[/I] as per the spell. Even if it is still alive. Dome D: Black as black can be. Because it's a terrifying black ooze monster. And it's hungry. Dome E: Orange. Smells like ogre. If imbued, causes the character to sprout a second head. The head has the opposite alignment as the original character. This is not a curse or magical enchantment. It is a physical transformation. (Imagine spiking someone's wine with this). Dome F: Yellow, fizzing. This is a very strong acid. Shatters glass. Eats away organic material. Will eventually destroy metal. [B]Chaos ensures as characters try to discover the secrets of the vats and decide how to best use that knowledge. [/B] [/QUOTE]
