CURRENT AND FUTURE CONTENT

Currently, Tsuge is detailed as a CR 26 encounter, providing an
epic challenge for high-level characters. However, we are in the
process of developing two additional lower CR variations (CR
13 and CR 21) to cater to a broader range of campaign needs.
These future updates will ensure that a wider range of parties
can experience the trials and tribulations of facing Tsuge.
While Moonsoon has been mostly developed already,
incorporating Ryoko’s Kaiju System is a recent development
for Moonsoon that we are extremely proud of being able
to implement. The rules you see here will evolve and

 One avatar, three Asuras
The behaviors of Tsuge align with its lore and the three
asuras that compose the avatar:
1. Gate (Cenitas): Initial form focuses on barriers
and pathways.
2. Time (Tsetasis): Upon rampage, temporal distortions
and aging effects emerge.
3. Death (Tesata): When enraged to the fullest, death-re-
lated abilities and necrotic damage dominate, reflecting
the ultimate passage from life to death.
Tsuge's Lair
Tsuge’s lair is a temple dedicated to it found on the moon
of Celado. Additionally, anytime Celado is the ruling
moon, a 1-mile radius centered on Tsuge becomes its lair.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Tsuge can
take one of the following lair actions; it can’t take the
same lair action two rounds in a row, except during its
death throes, when it takes the Temporal Collapse lair
action each round:
◆ Temporal Distortion. Tsuge causes time to warp in a
60-foot-radius sphere centered on itself. Each creature
in the area must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw
or have its speed halved and be unable to take reactions
until the end of its next turn.
◆ Ethereal Gate (Lost while gates of Passage exploited). Tsuge
opens a gate to the Ethereal Plane at a point it can see
within 60 feet. Each creature within 20 feet of the gate
must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. On a
failed save, a creature takes 22 (4d10) force damage and
is pulled up to 30 feet toward the gate.
Holy Symbol of Tsuge

Moonsoon: Wrath of Tsuge
(THIS IS PLAYTEST CONTENT)
◆ Memory Surge. Tsuge sends a wave of forgotten
memories across the battlefield. Each creature within
60 feet of the wave must make a DC 16 Intelligence
saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn
as it is overwhelmed by memories.
◆ Temporal Collapse (Death Throes). Tsuge’s temporal energy
destabilizes. Each creature within 60 feet of Tsuge must
make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failed
save, a creature takes 35 (10d6) force damage and is
knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes
half as much damage only.
Experience
Player characters earn experience differently when
fighting Avatars. Use the following table to award
experience based upon milestones achieved, divided
among the party.
Criteria Total XP
Chaos Threshold reduced to 0 50,000 XP
Gates of Passage exploited 37,500 XP
Temporal Heart exploited 37,500 XP
Soul of Death exploited 20,000 XP
Tsuge defeated 20,000 XP
Total 165,000 XP
Nonlethal Ending
If Tsuge is presented with three symbolic tokens repre-
senting the past, present, and future, and a character
speaks words of reverence and respect towards its essence
when all its vulnerable areas are exploited, it is momen-
tarily appeased.
Tsuge retreats to its moon, ensuring it does not return
to the region for the next 10d10 years.
Death Rattle
When Tsuge is lethally wounded, the very fabric of time
and space around it unravels in a cataclysmic display. A
wave of temporal energy explodes from Tsuge, causing
reality to warp and fracture. Each creature within 300
feet of Tsuge must make a DC 21 Constitution saving
throw. On a failed save, a creature is aged 1d20 years and
teleported to a random location within 1d100 miles, taking
45 (8d10) force damage in the process. On a successful
save, a creature takes half as much damage only.
The ground trembles and rips apart as massive temporal
distortions appear, swallowing everything in its path.
For the next 10d10 years, the area within a 5-mile radius
becomes a temporal anomaly where time flows unpre-
dictably, causing rapid aging, sudden rejuvenation, and
bizarre time loops. This effect can only be ended early by
the wish spell or similar powerful magic.

Needle of Time (Costs 2 Actions). Tsuge uses its Needle of
Time ability.
Temporal Shift (Costs 2 Actions, Lost When Temporal Heart
Exploited). Tsuge targets a creature it can see within 120 feet
of itself. The target must make a DC 21 Constitution saving
throw or have its initiative count become 1 at the start of the
next round and be affected by the slow spell for 1 minute. A
creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of its turn,
ending the effects of the slow spell on a success.

 The Sacred Couriers: Messages of Fate
Summary: The Sacred Couriers are receiving mysterious
messages from both the past and the future, all linked to a
small cliffside village experiencing severe time anomalies.
Adventure Hook: The Sacred Couriers, revered for their
unwavering dedication to maintaining connections across
Tooj, face an unprecedented mystery. They have been
receiving a series of strange messages, written on various
materials and seemingly sent from centuries in the past
and future. All these messages originate from a small
cliffside village known for its serene beauty but is now the
epicenter of chaotic temporal disturbances.
The characters are dispatched to this village to
investigate the source of these enigmatic messages.
Upon arrival, they discover that a moongate to Celado
has opened nearby, causing severe time anomalies that
threaten to unravel the fabric of reality. The clues can
be disseminated in the village or even be some of the
packages sent!
The village is caught in a state of temporal flux, with
different eras overlapping and strange phenomena
occurring. As the characters investigate the village, Tsuge
enters through the portal. The final challenge is to appease
Tsuge or face its wrath.

The 13th Moon Chartists:

Mapping the Temple
Summary: The 13th Moon Chartists are assigned to map
a mysterious temple that appeared during a full moon,
resembling the symbol of Tsuge.
Adventure Hook: The 13th Moon Chartists, renowned
for their exploration and cartography skills, have
received a new mission. During a Celado full moon, a
structure bearing Tsuge’s symbol manifested in the sky
over Moonsoon. This extraordinary event has led to the
discovery of a hidden temple on Celado, shrouded in
golden mist and filled with ancient secrets.
The characters are tasked with mapping this enigmatic
temple. As they navigate its labyrinthine halls, they must
contend with traps, puzzles, and the lingering presence
of Tsuge’s power. The clues to Tsuge’s vulnerabilities
can be found within the temple, hidden among ancient
murals, inscriptions, and relics. Each clue provides vital
information that will aid them in their final confronta-
tion with Tsuge.
The characters should document every chamber and
artifact, piecing together the temple’s history and signifi-
cance. Their journey culminates in a direct encounter with
Tsuge, who will test their courage and resolve. The final
challenge is to appease Tsuge or face its wrath.
Clue 1: The Heart of Death
This clue provides the characters with critical information
about Tsuge’s Soul of Death vulnerable area. By under-
standing that they must first break the golden orb in
its chest (the Temporal Heart) to open a portal and then
venture inside Tsuge to target this weak point, player
characters are given clear steps to follow that emphasize
the necessity of exploration and… lots of courage!
TABLET INSCRIPTION:
“Only by opening the golden gate, can one enter and crush
the heart of fate.”
This inscription can be found in an old temple dedicated
to Tsuge. It hints that the only way to exploit Tsuge’s Soul
of Death vulnerable area is to venture inside the avatar
itself. The inscription can be found as the characters
explore the temple, giving them a crucial hint about how
to approach the battle with Tsuge.
Alternative Clue Source. If your characters do not have
a ruin to explore before facing Tsuge, they can find the
tablet in the possession of a friendly NPC who is happy to
speak about this antiquity.

Clue 2: Gates of Passage
This clue provides the characters with essential infor-
mation about Tsuge’s Gates of Passage, revealing the
gate’s vulnerability to thunder damage. By incorporating
this clue, the GM should allow player characters to find
sources of thunder damage, such as spell scrolls of shatter.
GATES OF PASSAGE CLUE TEXT:
“The travels of Ranys tell of a time when a mighty storm
shattered the mystical gates that guarded the Avatar’s
domain. When the skies roared and the thunder struck, the
gates crumbled like sand.”
A legend speaks of a time when a mighty storm shattered
the mystical gates that guarded the Avatar’s domain. The
fresco illustrates the travels of the legendary mariner and
explorer, Ranys, who braved the stormy seas. When the
skies roared and the thunder struck, the gates crumbled
like sand, revealing a hidden passage.
This tale can be found in a seaside village, perhaps
shared by an old mariner or inscribed on weathered
driftwood at the local shrine. It provides a vital clue that
thunder damage is particularly effective against Tsuge’s
Gates of Passage.
Alternative Clue Source. If the characters do not visit a
coastal village, they might find this tale depicted in a
tapestry within a bustling city or hear it from a seasoned
sailor who enjoys sharing stories over a pint at the
local tavern.

Moonsoon: Wrath of Tsuge
 Clue 3: Ritual of Passage
While Tsuge is in its death throes, it can be appeased
by a ritual that honors the unity of past, present,
and future. The characters might find fragments of
ancient texts in the ruins of an old temple, or an actual
roadside shrine, hinting at the words and acts needed
to soothe Tsuge.

ANCIENT TEXT FRAGMENT:

Opening Words: “There is one thing in all the worlds
that all flee and none escape.”
Past Token Presentation: “To honor the past, we
present _________________, a relic of ancient times,
symbolizing the steps that have led us here.
The longer you walk life’s path, the more the memo-
ries of the first steps fade.”
Present Token Presentation: “To embrace the
present, we offer _______________, symbolizing the
current moment we all share. Destination is an illusion.
Future Token Presentation: “To look to the future,
we present this __________, a symbol of potential and
growth, ensuring the continuation of the cycle.
Be at peace, for all things pass away.”
Final Declaration: “Tsuge, Avatar of Passage, we
acknowledge the unity of past, present, and future.
May the passage continue in harmony as the journey
continues, always.
Celado guides us!”

GUIDANCE FOR THE CHARACTERS:

The tokens can be items, gestures, or symbolic acts, as
long as they convey the essence of each time period.
Feel free to interpret what constitutes a token as
loosely as you like.
Some examples:
◆ Past: An heirloom passed through generations,
a relic from ancient times, a memory held
in this token.
◆ Present: A gift of the present moment, a symbol of
our current path, a song, a flower.
◆ Future: A seed of what is to come, an egg holding
future life, this map to uncharted futures.
By presenting these tokens and reciting the decla-
ration when all its vulnerable areas are exploited,
the characters can appease Tsuge and avoid a lethal
confrontation.

 APPENDIX B: MONSTERS AND NPCS
Harvesters are descended from Tesata, the Asura of
Death. T heir role in the world is to move unseen amongst
the anima, gathering the souls of the deceased, and to aid
Tesata in guiding them back to Zyggdrill. Tesata is said to
handle particularly difficult or notable souls personally,
but most deaths are tended to by harvesters. While
harvesters have little in the way of a true form and appear
in different guises to the rare living soul that witnesses
them, the one unifying trait they share is being entirely
white – the color associated with death across Tooj’s
many peoples.
Visage of Death. Harvesters are always described as pale
and grim, and usually as tall skeletons draped in white.
However, every individual that manages to glimpse one
describes the harvesters’ bones matching the heritage
of the soul they’re in the process of collecting. On rare
Harvester
occasions, harvesters also take on the appearance of living
beings, even giving a convincing illusion of a corporeal
body. In these cases, harvesters take on guises suitable to
the environment, such as a kindly elder to a fond village
farewell to the departed or a stoic, helmeted warrior on a
battlefield.
Shapeshifting. While collecting a soul, a harvester takes
the form of a long-dead and white-bleached version of
that soul’s species. At all other times, a harvester may
concentrate to appear however it wishes, including
the visual appearance of being corporeal. Under
the effects of true seeing, harvesters
appear as vaguely skeleton-like
white shapes in white robes.

Alive. Despite its appearance, the harvester is not undead
and isn’t affected by effects that target undead.
Incorporeal Movement. The harvester can move through
other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain.
It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an
object.
Natural Invisibility. The harvester is naturally invisible as
though it was under the effects of the invisibility spell. The
harvester becomes visible for the duration of the current
round, whenever it uses its action to make an attack or
open a soul-gate.
Multiattack. The harvester makes one Claw attack and one
Numbing Touch attack.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 17 (3d8 + 4) slashing damage plus 18 (4d8)
radiant damage.
Numbing Touch. Melee Spell Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 18 (4d8) psychic damage and the target must
make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be paralyzed until the
end of the harvester’s next turn.
Radiant Nova (Recharge 5-6). The harvester releases a
burst of radiant energy. Each creature within 30 feet of the
harvester must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking
36 (8d8) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much on
a successful one. Undead creatures take double damage from
this effect.
Soul Gate. The harvester opens a soul gate to the Celado
moon, guiding the soul of a deceased creature to its afterlife.
Once the soul has passed through the gate, the creature
cannot be resurrected except by using the wish spell, or
an Avatar’s intervention. The gate closes at the end of the
harvester’s next turn.
BONUS ACTIONS
Reveal/Conceal. The harvester either ends or activates its
Natural Invisibility ability. If it took an attack action or used
Soul Gate this turn the harvester cannot use this ability.
