The Scandinavian Room
Description:
The residence rooms on this level were all decorated and named to a theme. The Scandinavian has a blue and white color scheme. This bedroom is still recognizable as
one. There’s a canopied bed, dresser,
and chair and table. All of the rooms
have their own bathroom and large closet.
Of course, this room is covered in frost and ice. The floor is an ice sheet, but the bottom of
which cannot be seen, like it is sitting on top of a lake.
Status:
The door to the room is closed, but not locked.
The knob is cold to the touch.
Inhabitants:
Freya Creighton and Corsican Ghoul versions of the
characters
Objective:
Eliminate Freya and the Ghouls. Recover
Freya’s blue diamond heart. Award 2 XP.
Carter’s Introduction: “Meow. Freya Creighton had not one accomplishment to
her name, save that of parleying her harsh beauty into marriage with a wealthy
husband. It was he who dubbed her ‘The
Ice Queen.” Perhaps it was for her
preference for inclement cold, but more likely it was in reference to her
heart. Meow.”
There are two immediate
hazards inside for the characters. The
ambient cold inside requires a DC 12 Fort Sv, failing that drops the character
to last in Initiative and a 0 on Fort Saves in the room. The floor is covered in a slick ice sheet and
requires a DC 12 Ref Sv or the character falls.
They’ll have to make the Save before they can stand back up.
With a flair for the
dramatic, Freya steps out from the bathroom, singing a power ballad. “Let it go!”
Or not. Make up your own entrance if you want, see if
I care.
Underneath the ice sheet is
a pack of Ghouls. Of course they
resemble characters. They’ll break
through the ice and attack in 1 rd. But
these are Corsican Ghouls. Half of any
damage inflicted on them is transferred to the character they resemble (any
effect other than hp damage is ignored).
After Freya is eliminated,
she shatters like an ice sculpture. The
grandfather clock chimes. Freya’s sparkling
blue diamond heart is visible in the rubble. It causes 1 hp of frostbite damage if handled
without protection. It’s probably worth
about 1,000 gp, but its larger value is as protection. It will glow and pulsate in combat with
supernaturals and provide immunity to energy draining (it will flash in that
situation).
