Description of Trap

The solid 10 ' square section dissolves lD6 melee rounds after

be ing s tepped OD. There is a 30' drop to a 10 ' deep va t of

24D8 potency acid.

Any time someone or something passes beneath this 10 t square

section, there is a 65% chance of a 30 h it point, 10 ' square,

infra-red heat beam f i r ing .

This 10 ' square section of wall has 100 jets hidden by plas te r t ha t f i re liquid oxygen 50% of the time as p eo pl e p as s b y.

These jets do l6D8 damage to a ll hit .

There is a 25% chance each t ime someone passes under th is 10 '

square s e ct ion tha t a "Whimsey Ray" will f i re (with some very

weird resul ts ) .

The 3d person who steps onto this 10 ' diameter section causes

i t to become a 500 hit point, dext. 30 Blue Gunky! A stickymess I' d say!

This 10 ' square section is actually a 3 ton s tone b lock thatwill fa l lon a 15 . chanc e e ach t ime someone passes below.

Those hit ar e dead.

These two 10 ' square wall sections will generate a technolog

ical "Magnetic Warp Field" that will do 8D6 damage to a ll in

it . I t f i res 30% of th e time people pass i t .

This 10' square sec tion dis integra tes entirely the 1s t time

it s center is stepped on. There is a 120' fal l into molten

lava below. Death is ins tant and permanent.

This 20' s quar e section becomes a giant, one shot teleportat ioD device (no saving rol l allowed) to a random, lower,

dungeon area 90% of the time i t ' s entered.

This 10' square area becomes highly charged with electrici ty

(lOD8 in power) as soon as i t is crossed causing i t to ar c

onto the next me tt a li c ob je ct t ha t passes.

The 10 ' square section turns into a rain of 6D6 acid on an

80% chance each time people pass below i t .

This 10' square section of f loor f i res a blas t of magik nulli f icat ion so that a ll magikal items it hits 'must save versus

magik at -4 or be to tal ly non-magik thereafter! I t works 30%of the ti.me.

The bright l eg io ns o f Khaer-Mideon' strove mightily against th e Darkhordes with sword and spel l and fo r a time held their lands free. But as

century afte r centu ry passed, those immortal warriors were winnowed by th e

constan t warfare , and th e s i lver mailed ranks thinned to a mer e shadow of

i t s former might.As th e power of the Elven kingdom e bb ed , s o d id th e shield of i t s spells

begin to weaken and flicker. And th e hand of Caliban pressed closer , i t s gripl ike a black s torm c loud surrounding a dying bonfire.

No longer joyous as in their early days of their youth, t h e E lv e s, grimly

determined to destroy their nemisis onc e and forever.

Withdrawing to their heartlands central stronghold, they ignored th e

nightmare that gleefully engulfed their once bright lands, fo r they were

f orgi ng t he migh ti e st rune the world had eve r s een.

Every s i ng l e l i vi ng inhabitant of Khaer-Mideon formed t he e ss en ce , t he

dr iving fo rce of th e mighty rune. The Elves were laying their very existanceon th e l ine , in supreme effor t t o d es tr oy Cal ib an .

As t h e c limac t ic moment arrived and the rune of doom was envoked, Caliban,

no t unaware of it s enemies plans, cast a coun ter rune . A rune powered by th e

eons o f s ou ls i t had posessed and eaten.

The forces unleashed by those opposing runes were so awesome that th e veryp ~ a n e t lurched, stumbling in i t s orbi t about th e sun and th e rotation of the

world slowed, permanently, by one hour. Time and space reeled and buckled,

th e ast ra l plane was aflame, and every single El f ceased to exis t .Caliban was bathed in agony, awash in th e power of the self-annihilating

runes, and i n f ea r fo r the f i r s t time in i t s long existance. Caliban retreatedinto time in a desp er a te a tt emp t t o save i t se l f , bu t only par t ia l ly succeeded.

For a l though Ca liban s t i l l existed, there was no longer any consciousness, nohate, no l iving evil . Only a residue, a shell of what was. Or·so it seems.

Now, adri f t in time and ghosting through distance, Caliban is l ike th eflying dutchman of dungeons.

Seldom seen, even less vis i ted , Caliban now wanders aimlessly, awaitingonly the gods know what.

Caliban is here. Dare you enter?

This a moderately high level dungeon, recommended f or l ev e ls e ig h t orhigher.

As th e three moons cast ominous conflicting shadows across t he la nd , t hes t range f igure a ll in red raised skeletal hands heavenward in silent supplica-

t ion.Lightning flared with a thunderous sound, as i f th e world i tself had

cracked. Indeed, t h e b l ac k basalt c l i ffs shuddered and t remb le d and s hed

dragon-sized boulders that richocheted and hurt led into th e chasm blackly

yawning below. So fa r their fal l , that o nl y t he largest was even faintlyueard in it s shat tering death impact .

Though no sound would ever come from th e gaunt and spectral being in th e

cowled red robes, a f a int at f i rs t , bu t s t ead il y r i si ng chofuS o f w ai ls andhowls would surround and enfold i t .

Ragged blasts of l ight and sound would increasingly send jagged echos

and shadows racing madly about as the lightning increased in it s frequency

and ferocity.The c l i ffs shook and rent themselves heaving and twisting in time to th e

cacaphony in th e skys above . Writhing as if a l ive , th e black stone began toglow an eerie penumbrial viole t and to slowly flow l ike thick black blood .

Humping insanely moonward, the apparen tly l iving rock s tr ov e t o formi tself into some fang-l ike pro ject ion, a ll t he w hi le t he obscene symphony of

sound and fury careend around i t .

Tiny tongues of pale viole t flames danced a tune of madness as theglowing stone humped higher and higher,elongating like some psuedopod fromt h e dep th s of hel l .

Minutes or eternitys pas se d, a s time and space twisted to accomodate

this new b i rt h ing , t h i s new spawn of blackest magik.

And thus was born a tower. The who or why i t was so created is los t tothis t ime, beyond only what was written a s you' ve jus t read.

For eons evil gathered and receeded from th e grim black hell- tooth of what

was now recognizably a haven of sorts, fo r a ll that was foul and evil .

Yet with each cycle of th e ages some of th e evi l l i ngered , bu ild ingupon i tself to become, eventually, a presence, a reali ty, of it s own; a second

bir th . And with i t , came a name: Caliban.Empires and k ingdoms ebbed and flowed as th e cy cl e of l i fe waxed and

waned. Yet central to each was th e s t ar k f ac t of Caliban. A brooding

pest u le o f chaos and entropy that sent hellish d ea th t o a ll corners of th eland, and when hard pressed, p ro tec ted i ts evil own as a mother wouldguard he r own children.

And Caliban ever was, a lasting thing that outlived even th e dynasties

of the immortal Elves. Then came a new dawn, these 20,000 years agone,

wben a kingdom o f E lv es , cal led Khaer-Mideon, rose into ful l flower, and th e

lands rejoiced. Or so they t r ied , fo r Caliban had now begun to hate.I t hat ed w it h a ll the da rk essence of i ts e lf , a l l those f leeting beingswaich passed be fo r e t h e centuries of i ts eyes like smoke, some bending,

s ~ m e breaking, ye t none to ever worship i tself as i t so darkly deserved.

So Caliban went to war , s endi ng out o f i tself those creatures, both l ive

and dead, which were it s children, i t s very l i fe b lo od . C al ib an went to warto prove it s Godhood, it s omnipotence over a ll t he l an d and a ll that dwelled

within i t .

INTRODUCTION

This is th e f irs t of a series of "dungeons" based on th e bes t s e ll in g

"Arduin Trilogy." Contained within each new dungeon will be: four separat

maps, eight new monsters and eight new magik t reasures (a l l on handy pocket

sized cards) , a capsule history of th e dungeon and other "goodies" unique

to each separate release.

The dungeon maps ar e a ll hand drawn by David A. Hargrave , au thor of th e

three Arduin Volumes: "The Arduin Grimoire," "Welcome t o S ku ll Tower," and

"The Runes of Doom." This was done to p r es e rve th e authentic "feel" of the

maps and to add a personal touch so often lacking in s l ick, over processed

games and game products.

This dungeon is stocked bu t has room fo r much, much more. The idea is

to uti l ize no t only what is provided but to add your own ideas into i t , thu

making i t truly unique. The three Arduin books ar e packed with monsters,t reasures ,and stocking charts, and ideas to help you in th is . We also recom

mend "Wizard's Aide" from Grimoire Games and tlRunequest" from th e Chaosium.

SPECIAL TRAP NOTES

These t ra ps a re only a small way this or any other "dungeon" may be added to .Add your own as w el l as u si ng t he se and remember; Traps Can Have Treasure Also!

Thi s h igh level dungeon is designed fo r use w it h th e Arduin Grimoire

Game system. However, with minor modifications, it is compa tib le to most

other FRP systems. Due to th e great dangers presented by this dungeon, i t

is highly recommended that only char act e rs o f an 8t h level o r g re a te r enterit .
