R6: Dragon Harbor

jn2-r6 • jn2-r6 • JN2: Monkey Isle

This scenario assumes the characters are traveling about and having other encounters. If plucked from the module, the GM might have to adjust it. Place this wherever you want it. If the Elven trading ship SILVERLAKE is convoying with the player characters, it might be attacked by the dragon; otherwise the dragon might attack the characters' ship. The dragon will usually be driven off, and fires extinguished. The local natives know of the dragon and can point to the ancient harbor city it has taken residence in. Most of the buildings of the city have been knocked down by earth quakes, or fallen down from neglect.

1. Harbor Island room

A small fort lies atop a natural island in the harbor. Long man-made stone causeways connect the island to the mainland on the dotted line shown; they are perforated by wide channels for ship's passage.

2. Docks room

These docks are constructed from strong hardwood and stone and are still in decent shape. Nearby are the remnants of large warehouses and harbor-related buildings, many broken down by the ravages of time. Ragged bits of a stone-paved road lead northward. Along the road are remnants of houses, all now rubble. This area is the abode of a hermit witch doctor who has three main helpers and thugs. If the adventurers need allies, he will offer to join them for a share of loot; if they need a challenge he attempts to extort a “tax” as if he owns the place. Human Magic-User: AC 11, HD 3, #At 1 dagger, Dam 1d4, Mv 40', Sv M3, ML 7, XP 145 Spells: magic missile, phantasmal force, shield HP 3 Human Fighters: AC 16, HD 3, #At 1 weapon, Dam 1d8 or by weapon, Mv 20', Sv F3, ML 7, XP 145 ea.

3. Graveyard room

The shell of an old church looms over a large old graveyard. Nothing of value is here. If the PCs hesitate here for too long, a pack of giant wolf spiders will come scampering from the trees and gravestones to attack. 8 Giant Wolf Spiders: AC 12, HD 1*, #At 1 bite, Dam 1d4 + poison, Mv 60', Sv F1, ML 8, XP 37 ea. HP

4. Park room

Although grown up, this is obviously a well-planned park, with paved pathways crisscrossing it, flowering shrubs and fruit trees, and a central shrine with a fountain that still flows. Hidden here in a burrow that is very difficult to detect is a giant trapdoor spider. It will leap out and attack the first PC to travel through this region, surprising on 1-6 on 1d6 (so that, in effect, it surprises anyone not having a bonus vs. surprise, and even most who do have one). Giant Trapdoor Spider: AC 15, HD 4*, #At 1 bite, Dam 1d8 + poison, Mv 50', Sv F4, ML 8, XP 280 This region is also the hunting grounds of a jaguar that feeds off deer and antelope coming to browse or drink. Jaguar: AC 16, HD 4, #At 2 claws, 1 bite, Dam 1d4 claw, 2d4 bite, Mv 70' Swim 30', Sv F4, ML 8, XP 240

5. Coliseum room

This is a large coliseum with a race track, stalls for vendors, and plenty of seating. Rotten support beams make walking here hazardous. There is a chance (1 on 1d6) of rocks falling on a passerby. They attack as if a monster at AB +3 (+5 vs. characters not wearing helmets), and do 2d6 points of damage with a hit. 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d. FORTS: These are fairly simple stone forts with a tower on each corner, barracks, warehouses, and administration quarters.

7. Crumbled Bridge room
