11-2-2013 - Improv Dungeon

This session is pretty much a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing. I've been wanting to run one of these for some time, so its pretty much unplanned except for the enemies inside of it. This quest is set up for the lower-leveled group of adventurers, ranging from levels 4 to 7.

Enemies

Skulltula (Level: 8)

[enemy Power=10 Courage=12 Wisdom=8 Hearts=10/10 Magic=0/0]

Description

Origin: The Legend of Zelda
The "standard dragon" of Zelda (so to speak), the Aquamentus is a boss-like foe that hits all of its enemies with nearly every strike. Given its massive size, even when it steps on someone, the Aquamentus shakes the earth. Its wings allows it to fly into the air, and its skin makes it resistant to all forms of attacks.
