Urheim: Southern Tower

Map by FrDave

As with the first entry in this ongoing series, I would appreciate constructive criticism of this one, particularly with regards to its presentation. Urheim is an evolving project and I am regularly tweaking previous posts in order to improve them for clarity and content. There is now a page, linked at the top of the blog, that collects all the currently existing posts, along with some of those yet to come for ease of reference. When I am able to afford to do so, I will commission artwork to accompany the entries where appropriate. I also have vague plans of collecting the entries into better laid out form, downloadable as a PDF, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. Urheim is a long-term project and I am in no hurry.

Southern Tower

T.1 Tower

6 Berserkers

• Former members of the Sword Sworn Company, cursed by their participation in the original assault on the monastery.
• The curse takes the form of battle-madness, which renders them nigh irrational and insensate. 
• If somehow captured, they know nothing of value, except the name Foulque, which they jabber mindlessly.
• Each berserker carries 12cp.

AC 7 [12], HD 1+1* (2, 3, 6, 6, 6, 8hp), Att 1 × sword (1d8), THAC0 18 [+1], MV 120' (40'), SV D12 W13 P14 B15 S16 (1), ML 12, AL Neutral, XP 19.

T.2 Western Wall

Debris: Immense pile of shattered stones.

T.3 Southern Wall

Debris: Extensive agglomeration of rubble.

• Searching through the rubble disturbs a nest of 4 giant centipedes.
• Amidst the rubble is also a small wooden box containing a silver ring inscribed with the name "Herleva" (worth 100 gp).

4 Giant Centipedes

AC 9 [10], HD ½* (1, 2, 3, 3hp), Att 1 × bite (poison), THAC0 19 [0], MV 60' (20'), SV D14 W15 P16 B17 S18, ML 7, AL Neutral, XP 6.

Ruins

R.30 Penitentiary

Debris: Mix of blasted stone and rotting wood.

• Even a casual search reveals a small leather scourge with eight knotted tails. It is a penitential instrument and useless as a weapon.
