D24.238 Grand Mausoleum of Seals

-
A colossal cylindrical room 600ft in diameter that soars 800ft tall made of polished native gold. Interspersed throughout the empty space are 10ft wide 20ft long sculptures of golden seal creatures in various swimming poses placed diagonal and horizontal to one another in 10ft intervals.

The bottom of the room is filled with a very shallow, black pool of Essence of Weight, a transcendentally rare tincture capable of manipulating the weight of creatures and objects.

Those learned in alchemy and Dwarven enchantment may make a link between the pool and the sculptures and learn that the pool is the key to stably suspending the seals in mid air. 

When one jumps from seal to seal or attempts to fly between seals, roll 1d6. On a 1, a minor current forms in the pool below, causing one to plummet 1d6 * 5 ft lower.

On a 6, a vortex forms, causing one to rise 1d6 * 5 ft higher. When rising, those not dextrous enough may collide with a seal, which may cause some blunt trauma.

Falling into the pool causes one to be crushed into a pulp as immense weight is bestowed to one's flesh.

Only a grand master of alchemy or enchanter may know the reagents necessary to manipulate the pool or collect it's liquid.

A black wooden chest unaffected by the pool can be found at the edge of the cylinder, which is completely empty but is able to fully ward effects of gravity manipulation.

Skilled riders of nimble Chameleons capable of adhereing the the stalks and leaves of Qelerian plants.  They wield large halberds forged from Bramber, sheperd and reap the herds of Frogstock that make the same plants their pasture. While some prefer a bucolic life of herding Frogstock in groups of three to five, there are a few in who build a much greater kinship with their Chamelons, and are capable of blending into the environment. These master riders seek larger prey from hunting Mudtoads at the lower strata of the Stalks.

L24.7 Scintrose

-
 A terrible illness which causes flower-like marks to form on the skin of the infected. These flower-like marks emit colored light which is considered a bad omen by many civilisations save those of the Shrouded Nest whose Saintess was said to have Scintrose across and within her body. As the disease advances, the marks become more detailed, until the point actual Brightflowers actually bloom upon the skin of the infected. At this point the flowers release an infectious pollen which spreads by air to infect others.

D24.185 Prison of the Lothgem

-
Lothgem, a hideous uncut spinel the size of a fist levitating above a tarnished silver pedestal, surrounded by walls made of mosaics of precious jewels depicting praying Dwarven monks.  It is dull to the point it darkens the light about it. When held, it repels all manner of jewels, crystals and precious stones, and may even repel magical precious stones when on a 1 of a 1d6 roll.  The Lothgem is sentient but reticent, and utterly despises all creatures who wear any sort of precious jewelry, and may forcefully repel such creatures adornments depending on its whims. Conversely, it likes the company of tarnished, rusty or scratched stones and may decide to accompany those adorned by them.
