Point A Day #5 - Destroyed Demanse
This is day 5 of making a pointcrawl point every day. Ultimately, I want to be able to have these semi-generic locations just hanging around for anyone to use.
A couple of blog posts recently have caught my attention.
- Law, Order, Dolmenwood, which is a realistic government system brought to dolmenwood, which is pretty neat.
- People Walk Too Fast, about how hexcrawls are often too realistic to be gameable. Good thing we're making a pointcrawl!
- My own! At least, the attention of Medium where I write other, more serious blog posts. Although the one I posted most recently: Destroying Levels, was more of an experimental thing, and still did pretty well on the site, which is really cool.
Anyways, enough blatant shilling.
Key
Landmark
- Broken Stonework tower.
- Tattered banners hang from the windows
- a small well sits about 20 paces from its base.
Hidden
- Tower has 3 levels. Two are aboveground, but a trapdoor on the 1st floor leads to a basement.
- The top floor has broken machinery of some inscrutable purpose. There is a man-sized doll lying on the floor, torn apart by the elements
- In the dungeon of the tower, there is the skeleton of a werewolf shackled to the wall.
Secret
- The werewolf has a ring on its left finger. A bright blue sapphire
- Within the doll on the top floor is a stake, the length of a human finger. When driven into an inanimate object, it becomes a homunculus.
Appendix
Ring of Hydrophilia
- Has 2 charges. Expend one charge to cast [Water Breathing].
- To recharge, the ring must be wrapped in seaweed and placed into the sea by moonlight.
- -1 to atk and dmg when not completely submerged for 1 day.
