Titan's Rest: Within the contorting new mana zone to the far south of the frontier, separating the deadlands between the Diamond and Clover Kingdoms, Titan's Rest is a graveyard for giants from an ancient battle thousands of years in the past. Within this mana zone, the bodies of countless giants dead through violent litter the walls, forming skeletal mountains and walkways. Within the body of one of these massive corpses, a portal has formed. Shimmering and contorting, as the sounds of battle fill the air, echoing out from within.

Dungeon’s Location: Forsaken Region
Dungeon’s Rank: Grand

Minimum Player Requirements: 2

Entering the Portal: To enter the portal first one must locate it. Scaling through the mountains and canyons, examining the massive skeletons and following the sounds of battle until locating the entryway. In order to do this the party must spend at least [1,000 Words] locating the portal entrance itself. This requirement is removed if one of the players has a tracking spell of [Senior] rank in use or [Tier 3 Ki], or halved if the searching is done why [Flying].

Boss Room
Word Count: 3,000

Description: As you enter into the portal, you find yourselves transported into a shimmering world of the past. You stand before a great plain, where great giant warriors are engaged in ruthless battle. Bodies fall, shaking the earth with the impact. Casual swings of the blades cause small gusts of wind that knock over those without proper balance and strength. The chaos of an all-out war is around you, with no direction in sight on what to do next.

Floor’s Gimmick: Every post, if the character does not have at least [Intermediate Strength], [Flight] active, [Tier 1 Ki], or [20 m/s Speed] the characters are knocked prone from the chaos and suffer [Intermediate Damage] while having to struggle back to their feet.

To locate the exit of this floor you must have at least [Tier 3 Ki], [120 Sensory], or the party must defeat the numerous Giants on this floor to calm the chaos and be able to search without ducking about and avoiding them all. Alternatively, finding a way to make them stop fighting for a time would also give you the peace required to locate the small set of steps that lead down from the plain and into a massive canyon.

Enemies: Fangor & 1d6+3 [Giant Warriors] per character/NPC.

Room 1 + Route Choice
Word Count: 2,500

Description: Stepping down the thin steps leading along the side of this canyon wall, you quickly discover that the battle continues further down within the Canyon depths. However, this is not due to traveling the steps but instead appears to be due to one of these Giant Clan's living within the Canyon itself. The other Clan invading, driving them back into the Canyon. This causes the ground to shake occasionally from the clashes, but the distance ensures you're not knocked over this time.

Within the Canyon itself are dozens of the same Giant Warriors you saw before, but these steps don't continue all the way down to them. Instead, it turns and leads your party into a smaller doorway at just barely six feet in height, wide enough for single-file lines. This tunnel leads into the mountain and has clear dwarven architecture for those that follow this path. At this point you are faced with a choice.

You may [Fly] down, or with superior physical traits capable of moving at [30 m/s] with [Intermediate] strength may rapidly scale the cliff safely. Doing so causes you to directly engage the Giants as they will see you as an invading enemy, and trigger you following the [Invasion] route found below. The other option is to follow this tunnel, which will lead you into the [Dwarven Ruins] route found below. Make your choice, and begin your new path.

Floor’s Gimmick: Should a choice not be made within at least two posts from each of the party, if an illusion spell is not used to hide the entire party of [Intermediate] rank or higher, the Giants will notice you. Instantly attacking you, and forcing you to choose the [Invasion] route.

---

Room 1
Word Count: 5,000

Description: You have chosen, or been forced into, the Invasion route. Now you are careening toward the small army of Giants that guard this canyon entrance. The walls are decorated in elaborate, grand carvings that delve into massive buildings within the canyon's side underground. However, you have little time to admire the beautiful architecture as you are set upon by dozens of [Giant Warriors] alongside several higher-ranking [Giant Commanders] that guard this area.

Once all the Giants lay defeated at your hands, you face several options to enter the cave network. However, most resist you, as if these altered dimensions of the past could only provide you so many options and opportunities. Only one seems to react, allowing you to push into the darkness. A massive tunnel elaborately carved that leads into the darkness to the north underground.

Floor’s Gimmick: Now that you are directly engaged, the same effects that happened on the plain begin. Every post, if the character does not have at least [Intermediate Strength], [Flight] active, [Tier 1 Ki], or [20 m/s Speed] the characters are knocked prone from the chaos and suffer [Intermediate Damage] while having to struggle back to their feet.

Enemies: 12 Base [Giant Warriors], with 1d6+2 extra per character/NPC. As well as 2 Base [Giant Commanders], with +1 extra per character/NPC.

Word Count per Room: 2,500

Room 1

Description: As you enter into the primary tunnel, led into the dark you find yourselves igniting clusters of gems that hang from the roof akin to chandeliers. Dim golden light floods the tunnel, allowing you vision as you see the tunnel open up before you into another massive room. Here, you see a single Giant holding whip shouting orders to what appear to be small humanoids rushing about, arming and leveling several massive war machines, ballista at the party.

Floor’s Gimmick: On entry the part will be fired upon by the three massive ballistae. The bolts will hit a 5m radius aimed at the doorway and are infused with magic. Striking with 140 Power with each dealing [Grand] damage to anything that they make contact with. After these are fired the enemies will then attack with the dwarves using their Crossbows, and the Giant commanding them.

If the [Giant Slavemaster] is defeated before the Dwarves will immediately surrender. However, as long as the Slavemaster is conscious the Dwarves will literally sacrifice themselves without hesitation to protect their master. Runes glow on the dwarves' necks, making it likely some form of slave-magic that dominates their wills. These Dwarves will refuse to help you further into the caves, but will retreat into smaller side tunnels to escape.

Enemies: One [Giant Slavemaster], and a base of 12 [Dwarven Slaves] with an extra 2d6+2 Dwarves per character/NPC.


Room 2

Description: Continuing on through the main tunnel, your party hears the sound of arrows suddenly flying through the air. These barrage into the tunnel around you, aiming to shred you to bits as more dwarven slaves are seen through arrow-slits surrounding this tunnel from all sides. You must either run through and risk injuries, or use an attack that passes through the slits or walls to target your attackers that cannot be seen.

Floor’s Gimmick: Every post everyone in the tunnel will suffer [Senior] damage at the start of their post. This tunnel requires [100m/s] to clear in one post, [50m/s] to clear in two posts, [25m/s] to clear in three posts, and finally [10m/s] to clear in four posts. If the dwarves are targeted through the walls and slits through specialized spells, then they have the same statistics as prior Dwarven Slaves. If half are defeated the damage is lowered to [Intermediate], and if all are defeated then the damage is removed.

Enemies: 24 set [Dwarven Slaves].


Room 3: Boss Room

Description: As you escape from the deadly tunnel, you stumble into a massive underground cathedral. Flooded with green and gold light, there are dozens of the same slaves aiming crossbows at you while well-outfited Giant Commanders begin to move toward you. Clearly intending to block you entry into a large staircase that delves deeper into the earth. At it's head is a single large Giant wielding a whip in one hand and a sword in the other, the Giant Chief's right hand, Rogard.

Floor’s Gimmick: Every post, if the character does not have at least [Intermediate Strength], [Flight] active, [Tier 1 Ki], or [20 m/s Speed] the characters are knocked prone from the chaos and suffer [Intermediate Damage] while having to struggle back to their feet. For every [Giant Commander] defeated, 6 [Dwarven Slaves] will escape the battle harmlessly.

Enemies: [Rogard] as well as a 24 set [Dwarven Slaves], along with 4 base [Giant Commanders] with +1 extra commander per character/NPC.

Boss Room
Word Count: 3,000

Description: After the long battle, pushing through the last room and entering the large staircase your party finds itself in front of a massive stone door reinforced with golden lining. When pushed open, a grand hall rests before you. Lined with great statues of stone giant lords from ages past, following a golden carpet that leads up to a single massive throne. Here sits the Giant Chieftain, Ko'Grun. Eyes slowly opening, a grin splits across his lips and he speaks in an ancient language too old for any to know. The stone statues then begin to glow, before lunging forward to attack the party while Ko'Grun rises. Dusting off his hands, and walking forward preparing to do battle against his invaders.

Floor’s Gimmick: The party is assaulted by six statues, each statue is unkillable, however. The statues attack moving at [30m/s] and [175 Power] dealing [Senior] damage with every attack each. They have [175 Durability], but even when attacked and shattered the parts will come forward and attack the party from new angles instead. The only way to stop the statutes is to kill Ko'Grun.

Enemies: [Ko'Grun]


Clearing the Dungeon: Upon Ko'Grun's defeat, the hall's light will slowly fade as the throne itself is revealed to be a massive chest. When opened, you will discover that there is a normal mountain of treasure. However, instead of any unique relics or runes, there is a single shining crown at its center holding engravings for gemstones to be placed, yet they are empty.

This gives the characters the NA "Kingslayer" as well as the unique item "Empty Crown", found below. This dungeon will not give an extra relic, stat, item, spell point, etc rolls. Only the base treasure, and this item.

Room 1
Word Count: 5,000

Description: You have entered the elaborate tunnel in favor of the stairwell down into the depths of the canyon. Entering this tunnel it becomes instantly clear that these are ancient ruins, far older than what was outside aside perhaps the weathered steps that had led you here. Entering this tunnel you are led along into an incredibly dark, and chilling tunnel that slowly winds in a spiral pattern down into the lower levels of this canyon wall. The deeper you go, the colder it becomes.

Eventually, fog begins to rise around your feet, then knees, until you are completely surrounded in the thick flowing mist. Within the mist, there is movement. Despite how tight the tunnels are for people of your size, if manageable, there appears to be space just enough for you to feel wisps of movement. A chill along your spine. A soft whisper on the air. Suddenly a cold hand grips each of you, and the word fills the air: "BETRAYER!" In a language you don't know, yet understand within your minds. A chilling attack washes over each of you.

Floor’s Gimmick: A lightsource is required from a spell or spell-like effect of [Grand] or greater to see through this fog. Alternatively, if you have [Tier 3 Ki] or [120 Sensory] you are able to move through it unhindered. If you lack these options, the word count for this room is doubled as you struggle through the downward sloping tunnel [Blind].

As well, you will suffer [Intermediate] cold damage at the start of your first post you're within this room. The second post this becomes [Senior], and third, it becomes [Grand]. This damage cannot be resisted or avoided, and the only method to avoid it is to escape the tunnel. No matter the case, once the wordcount to escape this tunnel is reached you are instantly all halted for an additional post. Forcing you to take the damage as found above, doubled before you are able to force through the specters and escape into the next room. (ie. If you're on your third post this deals [Archmage] damage. Be careful. The cold here can add up quickly for some.)

Through this tunnel, your party will be attacked by mental visions of the past. Vague images and words that form into the story of these two ancient tribes, one of the Dwarves that lived within this canyon and one of the Giants that tended the plains above. They were at peace, traded, and toiled together in times of war. The Dwarves were master craftsmen and provided armor and weaponry, gems and minerals. The Giants provided food and livestock. A grand peace was to be made with the declaration of two new Kings. The Giant King would be provided a gemstone that could be set in a crown of woven vines. The Dwarven King would be provided a crown of gold and magic, incomplete to represent the two clans' need for one another.

However, the new Giant King blinded by greed as they held a grand feast intending to be a celebration, they used their knowledge of plants to poison the dwarves. Stealing the crown for themselves, and taking the Dwarven mines. Enslaving the survivors. The honorable dwarves never quite passing on, due to their rage at this betrayal.

Any characters that have been betrayed in their lives, especially recently, will suffer [Intermediate] damage from the psychic assaults and pain.

At this point, characters are given a choice to turn back before they finish this room and instead choose the [Invasion Route] to reclaim the crown from the visions that the Giants now hold.

Enemies: N/A

Room 2: Boss Room
Word Count: 3,000

Description: As you stumble in through the spiral staircase, frozen and half-blinded from the fog the word still echoes out around you. Filling the chamber that you now find yourselves within. You sit within a grand hall lined with massive stone tables and benches. Once lined with expensive fabrics, full of tarnished golden goblets and platters. Hundreds of corpses sit at these tables, mostly skeletal laying across the tables in question.

As the word 'Betrayer' echos out around the room, you find yourselves facing hundreds of glowing teal orbs. The eye sockets of the various sinew-coated skeletons all glowing with undead life. Suddenly ghostly dwarven warriors flow from the corpses, straightening and wielding axes, blades, and crossbows. They hold the bearing of proud warriors and are nothing like their enslaved descendants within the Giant's lair.

The warriors will attack you from all angles, led by a single dwarf wielding a large spear. The specters attack from all sides as an organized force, chanting the same word, 'Betrayer' over and over. Not listening to reason, only seeming to run on bare sentience and rage.

Floor’s Gimmick: Should the party avoid confrontation, and lift up the [Empty Crown] saying they wish only to return what was stolen, the guards will stand down. Instead, only Falconmere will step forward and challenge your party to an honorable duel for him to prove your intentions.

Enemies: 24 set [Spectral Dwarven Warriors] +1d6+1 per character, as well as [Falconmere].

Number of Rooms: 7
Word Count per Room: 2,500

Description: Before you is a staircase leading further down that leads you through a series of rooms of various sorts. A kitchen, long-rotted bunkbeds for shifts of guard duty, a training hall and so forth. Within these various living rooms, now long rotted and caved in, you find various groups of spectral dwarves that rush to engage you. All shouting out their rage at the betrayal and unhonorable deaths they were forced to suffer at the hands of the poison and "cowards".

Floor’s Gimmick: Within these rooms the party suffers a loss of -5m/s to their speed and [Junior] damage every post from the intense chill creeping into their bodies. The will of this place itself attacking you. However, if you have defeated Falconmere in an honorably duel while holding the [Empty Crown] and truly intend to return it, this effect is removed and you must only face the specters.

Enemies: 1d6+3 [Spectral Dwarven Warriors] per room.

Room 1: Boss Room
Word Count: 5,000

Description: As you exit the final room, entering into the primary chamber you find yourself in a grand hall. Here, within the depths of the mountain, you face a large table of that sits seven dwarven skeletons long debilitated and rotting. All are wearing the tattered remains of elegant, well-made silks and various circlets and crowns. In the center is a throne, where one of them sits at a massive throne. Within his gnarled grasp is a shining gemstone.

Suddenly all seven of the skeletons swirl with spectral energy. Seven great Dwarven Heros standing before you, wielding various weapons. At their head is a single large Dwarf that stands a head above the rest. A single word fills your mind [Titan]. The name of this Dwarf before you, the king of his people now long dead, betrayed. An elegant saber rests within his hands, which he taps against the stone as miasma flows from his body to examine the party.

Floor’s Gimmick: Should you carry the [Empty Crown] and earnestly offer it to the King, he will raise a hand and cause the Hero's to all fall to a knee in a circle around him and the party. Lifting the blade, and speaking within their minds just as before [Prove yourselves to be of honor]. Before engaging the party alone. If this is attempted and it is a lie, he will bristle with rage. Seeing through your lies through some ancient magical means, and without a word he and the heroes will all engage you directly but gain the [Enraged] bonus effect.

However, if you are honest and refuse to offer the crown, making it clear you wish to claim your own ambitions, the Titan will sit. Impressed by your ambition and honesty, and lift a hand to the Heroes whom will engage you alone. The voice in your heads echoing [Prove your ambition]. After the Heroes fall, the King will give you all a single post to rest if you wish, before engaging you himself alone. With this route he will gain the [Honorable Rest] buff, instead.


Enemies: 6 [Dwarven Heroes] as well as [Titan] depending on your above choices.

Clearing the Dungeon: After the final spirit falls, a small gemstone crashes to the ground. This gemstone is specifically carved. If you have not yet acquired the [Empty Crown] then you have gained the item [Hope's Tear].


If the [Empty Crown] has been obtained, both items begin to rapidly hum and when put within a foot of one another instantly combine. The gemstone magically sliding into the slot carved for it. The magic suddenly grows several times in potency, then hums into a quiet focused state. The various crowns decorating the other skeletal heads hum in return.

The skeleton sitting on the throne before you suddenly shifted, its bone hand shaking as it reaches out toward the crown. It is too weak to take it, the choice is your own. You may keep the crown, or offer it to the King. Only one of these routes can be chosen, after the route has been taken every time you return to this Dungeon, you will be controlled by a force beyond your control to repeat the same route you took before.

Route of Greed: The crown was something you hard earned, and it's yours. Turning your party exits and as you go each of you take a crown off the other skeletons much to their low groans of ire as the various copies of the crown resonate together, choosing you all as their new owners. You all acquire the [True Crown] item, and the NA "False King".


Route of Honor: The dead are to be respected, and as such you offer the old forgotten king his completed crown that was once meant to signify unity and peace of the two races. As the crown falls into place, a burst of energy suddenly washes over all the party. Magic flows into your bodies, amplifying your natural control. The benefits perhaps not as potent as the crown, yet you feel a wave of relief and dignity return to you. You all gain a permanent [+50 Mana], a permanent [+5] to your [Power], [Durability], [Sensory], and [Control] ignoring the stat caps, as well as acquiring the two NA "True King" and "Peacebringer".

No matter your choice this dungeon will not give an extra relic, stat, item, spell point, etc rolls. Only the base treasure, and this item.
