(T) - Slightly elevated stone tiles.
Stepping on them triggers
1. The Ice Pillar Room (6 x 17
squares)
Description - Piles of mossy stone rubble lie scattered around
the long room, sitting on puddles of still water. A cold air
exhales out, the smell of moisture meets with your senses.
Tall stone pillars stand on the west and east wall, each are
adorned by bands of intricately carved markings
(Spot Hidden) - Spending 1 stretch to make a Spot Hidden
roll reveals the slightly elevated stone tiles (T) and a Blue Orb
attached to the ceiling (3) if they are within their light’s
distance. They also risk triggering the trap if they walk to
search the entire room.
the Ice Pillar trap (2)
(1) - A Skeleton lies on the floor with an old small shield by its
side
(2) - Ice Pillar Trap. A Languages skill of 10+ or a successful
language roll reveals the markings as a series of esoteric
words from an ancient tongue. They do not form a cohesive
sentence but rolling an appropriate INT skill roll reveals that
these words are magical wards that keep the temperature
cool. Using Elementalism for the skill roll adds a boon.
These stone pillars are hollow on the inside, containing a
hidden stone statue. When the trap is triggered, the pillars
open up to reveal the statues that depict a mage holding a
staff. Ice bolts fire from their staves.
(3) - A Blue Orb is attached on the ceiling. This is the Ice
Pillars’ Sensing orb.
The Ice Pillars
Simultaneous volley: All Ice Pillars in the room attack in the
same initiative
Sensing Orb: Somewhere in the room is a blue orb that
detects sources of warmth (like body temperature).
Destroying or disrupting this orb causes the pillars to go
blind and therefore cannot make attacks.
Middle Initiative: When drawing initiative, Ice Pillars do not
draw a card. Instead, they go in between 5 and 6. Treat their
initiative as 5.5.
Ice Magic: Frost and ice begins to form around the ice bolt’s
point of contact. Affected Creatures makes a CON roll to
break the ice forming in their bodies, on a failure affected
creature loses D6 WP. If the creature is hit again and fails a
second time, the creature also becomes Cold, if they aren’t
already, and must roll a Bushcraft roll at the start of each
stretch to avoid its effects (p 54)
Parry: Creatures may parry Ice bolts as if they’re ranged
attacks
