HP: +1d10 each Level, minimum of +5

AC: +1 each 2nd Level

AB: +1 each Level

Save: -1 each 2nd Level

Skills: +2 Skill Pips each Level

At 1st Level, your words have gained the power to bolster the spirit of your allies. As an Action, you may Heal a target that can see or hear you for (2d4 + your Warlord Level) HP. Once you have used this ability, you must finish a Long Rest before you may use it again.

At 2nd Level, you are able to bolster your allies more often. You may now use your 1st Level ability twice between Long Rests.

At 3rd Level, you begin to lead your allies in a specific style. Choose one of the options below.

• War Chief: When you attempt Skill Checks to Demoralize or Taunt targets, you have Advantage.
• Warlock: You gain the ability to Cast Spells. You learn 2 Spells and you gain 2 Spell Points (SP). Using 1 Spell Point, you may Cast any Spell you know. You regain used Spell Points after a Long Rest.
• Warrior: You gain +2 AC and you deal +2 Damage with Weapons.

At 4th Level, you may now use your 1st Level ability three times between Long Rests.

At 5th Level, your leadership influences your combat. Once per Round and on your Turn, you may direct an ally, allowing them to attempt a single Weapon Attack.

At 6th Level, you may now use your 1st Level ability four times between Long Rests.

At 7th Level, your leadership style grows more potent. You gain the option below that matches the path you took at 3rd Level.

• War Chief: When you succeed on Skill Checks to Demoralize or Taunt targets, you cause the Affliction Afraid 3 (Demoralize) or Provoked 3 (Taunt), and the target takes 1d6 Psychic Damage.
• Warlock: You gain 2 additional Spell Points and learn 2 additional Spells.
• Warrior: You gain an additional +2 AC and you deal an additional +2 Damage with Weapons.

At 8th Level, you may now use your 1st Level ability five times between Long Rests.

At 9th Level, you have mastered your leadership style. You gain the option below that matches the path you took at 3rd Level.

• War Chief: Twice per Round and on your Turn, you may direct an ally, allowing them to attempt a single Weapon Attack.
• Warlock: Twice per Round and on your Turn, you may direct an ally, allowing them to attempt a single Weapon Attack.
• Warrior: Once per Round and on your Turn, you may attempt a single Weapon Attack as a Free Action.

At 10th Level, your leadership has shaped many battles, leaving an impact on both your friends and your foes. Your followers present you with a choice; you may either task them with building a Stronghold, or you may ask them to become a War Band. Details for both options are below.

• Stronghold: You amass 1d20 + 30 1st Level Fighters who seek to serve you and fight alongside you, following your every command. They will build your Stronghold in a valid location over the course of 100 days. Once completed, you will rule over the Stronghold and any local settlements that seek your protection. Once up and running, your Stronghold will generate 1d6 Gold per day, with a bonus 1d6 to that rate for each settlement you protect. Finally, you and your allies may successfully rest within your Stronghold in half the normal time due to its accommodations.
• War Band: You gather 1d10 + 20 2nd Level Barbarians who will travel with you and follow your every command. They will follow you into combat without question and will fight to the death.

Level 3, Room 23 (L3R23)

This room is littered with the charred, long-dead skeletal remains of dozens of Goblins. To the north-east, there is a short hallway leading to a caged pedestal. The hallway is clearly a trap, with pressure plates on the floor and burn marks marking both walls. The walls are decorated with stone-carved mockeries of Dwarven faces, each puffing their cheeks as if blowing air.

• Special
• Ancient Dwarven Trap: GMs; See the right-most image below. The hallway of pressure plates is 10 feet wide, 12.5 feet long, and 10 feet tall. The matrix of letters corresponds to the pressure plates themselves, with each pressure plate displaying a worn depiction of a Dwarvish letter. The English equivalents are listed in the matrix, but the characters will only recognize them as Dwarvish runes unless they know the Dwarvish language (i.e., such as Dwarves or those who have lived in Argukhart). Each pressure plate is a 2.5-foot by 2.5-foot square.
• Disarming the Trap: Disarming the trap is certainly possible (DC 20 per pressure plate), but the trap is a puzzle, first and foremost. If the puzzle goes unsolved, the cage will not move, leaving the chalice out of reach.
• Puzzle: To solve the puzzle, a Character must step on the correct pressure plates in the correct order. The correct order is determined by the current "password." The password always starts as "cease." If the password is attempted but failed, the password cycles to "drink," then to "peril," then to "water," and then back to "cease." Characters will likely have to attempt some kind of trial and error at first, so allow them to creatively push the plates without simply tanking the Damage (such as using a 10-foot pole or heavy rocks, etc.). Finally, only 1 pressure plate may be pushed down at a time. If more than one is pushed down, the trap goes off and resets, changing the password. If the password is input correctly, the pressure plates deactivate and the cage rends apart, allowing easy access to the pedestal and the chalice atop it.
• Effect: If triggered, each target within the pressure-plate hallway must roll a Save. If they fail, they take 10d6 Fire Damage, as each stone-face spews out liquid flames. If they succeed, they take half as much Damage.
• Treasure: A golden chalice decorated with priceless gems (see Special). If obtained, the chalice serves as a unique Magic Item.
• The Chalice: If obtained, this item exudes a powerful magical aura noticeable by any spellcaster. The chalice has a single magical effect/purpose; if filled with any kind of liquid, it will turn that liquid into a bubbling, black ichor. The ichor does not look appealing, nor does it taste good. However, drinking a full chalice of the ichor will Heal a target to full HP. Finally, a target Healed by the chalice must roll a Save. If they fail, their Maximum HP is permanently reduced by 5.
• Special: The chalice is trapped within a wrought iron cage, which surrounds the pedestal it sits upon (See 1). Possibly through magic, the cage is seemingly immovable and indestructible. The chalice cannot be removed from the cage, even if one's hands are small enough to reach through. There is a mechanism attached to the base of the cage, however, that seems to connect to the hallway of pressure plates.

Level 3, Room 24 (L3R24)

This room is empty aside from a small pool of dark, cold water.

• Encounter: None.
• Treasure: None.

Level 3, Room 25 (L3R25)

This room is only accessible via the underwater passage between L3R24 and L3R16. The room appears to be a second grotto of treasure gathered by the Goblins.

• Treasure: 15 Gold pieces, 109 Silver pieces, 352 Copper pieces, 5 assorted gems (each worth 9 Gold), +1 Mace, +1 Shield.

Level 3, Room 26 (L2R26)

This "room" is instead a Special Encounter that may be found within Darkwater Crag. Below is the Darkwater Crag Encounter List to serve as reference.

Darkwater Crag Encounter List

When a 1 is rolled on the Encounter Die, the GM rolls 1d20 on the table below. When it comes to the special encounters (15-20), the GM should reroll on the table if that encounter has already occurred.

[#DUNGEON23] Mountain of the Frost Baron - Feb 20 to Feb 26, 2023 *and* Feb 27 to Mar 5, 2023

COVID Sucks

Two weeks ago I got COVID after managing to avoid it for 3 years... Unfortunately, it completely took me out of commission for about a week and a half, so I've been playing catchup on Dungeon23. However, I'm glad to say I have caught up! Argukhart was just posted here... better late than never. The end of Steepwalker Trail and the start of Darkwater Crag can be found within this super-post. Finally, my next step is Thon-Kyrr. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as Argukhart -_-

Anyway, here's my backlog of progress!

Level 2, Rooms 20 through 28

• Dungeon Level 2 Outline - Steepwalker Trail
• Entrances / Exits: Lostone Entrance [STL] (heavily travelled, guarded, 15 minutes by foot to Lostone), Thon-Kyrr Entrance [STT] (heavily travelled, guarded, enters directly into Thon-Kyrr), Crevasse Entrance [CMC] (heavily travelled, connects Steepwalker Trail to Craghopper Mine)
• Location: On Arguk-Val, climbing up the south-western side.
• Threats: Bears, Cougars, Hawks (Giant), Spiders (Giant), Trolls

Level 2, Rooms 13 through 19 (L2R13 through L2R19)

These "rooms" are instead Special Encounters that may be found within Steepwalker Trail. Below are both the Steepwalker Trail Encounter List and the Steepwalker Trail Special Encounter List to serve as references.

Steepwalker Trail Encounter List

When a 1 is rolled on the Encounter Die, the GM rolls 1d20 on the table below. On a 11-20, consult the Steepwalker Trail Special Encounter Table below this one.

1. 1 Troll; when encountered, these creatures are usually hungry and very hostile.
2. 1 Bear; when encountered, these creatures are usually hungry. However, they tend to avoid combat when possible.
3. 1 Cougar; when encountered, these creatures are usually hungry. However, they tend to avoid combat when possible.
4. "
5. 1d4 Spiders (Giant); when encountered, these creatures are usually hungry, but cautious.
6. 1d2 Spiders (Giant); when encountered, these creatures are usually hungry, but cautious.
7. "
8. 1d4+1 Hawks (Giant); when encountered, these creatures are usually hunting other animals as prey. However, they may harass creatures that they see as competition for their food.

Steepwalker Trail Special Encounter List

When it comes to the special encounters below, the GM should reroll on the table if that encounter has already occurred.

1. L2R9
2. L2R10
3. L2R11
4. L2R12
5. L2R13
6. L2R14
7. L2R15
8. L2R16
9. L2R17
10. L2R18
11. L2R19
12. L2R20
13. L2R21
14. L2R22

16. L2R24
17. L2R25
18. L2R26
19. L2R27
20. L2R28

• Side Note: If you happen to have a d30 lying around, you can easily just roll that to determine encounters for Steepwalker Trail by just adding 10 to all of the values of the Special Encounter List (i.e., 1 becomes 11, 2 becomes 12, 20 becomes 30, etc.). It will make the Special Encounters more common, but that's part of the fun of this Dungeon Level.

Level 3, Room 1 (L3R1, Darkwater Crag, Floor 1)

Below is the first "room" of the third Level of the Megadungeon, Darkwater Crag. Like L1R1 (Craghopper Mine), it is not a traditional "room," as it is simply an overall map of the floor. Unlike Craghopper Mine, however, Darkwater Crag is a more natural series of caves with few purposefully dug tunnels. For simplicity, the map is drawn with sharp edges, but the rooms are realistically more misshapen.

Additionally, you will notice that this Floor contains stairs down to the second Floor, as well as underwater passages between rooms. Players will not be immediately aware of these passages but should be rewarded for discovering them.

Unlike previous Dungeon Levels, Darkwater Crag is the first Level in which the GM is expected to run the area using Dungeoncrawling Rules, checking for encounters every 10 minutes. Darkwater Crag, as the name would suggest, is also almost pitch black. Torches or Light Spells will be needed to explore the area safely.

• Side Note: Between L3R1 and L3R2, the two Floors which make up this Level of the Dungeon only have 25 rooms. The remaining 6 rooms of the month will instead be special encounters that I will be adding to Darkwater Crag's Encounter List, which is detailed below.

Level 3, Room 2 (L3R2, Darkwater Crag, Floor 2)

Like the "room" above, L3R2 is a Floorplan of Darkwater Crag. All of the same things as L3R1 apply.

Additionally, you will notice that this Floor contains stairs up to the first Floor, as well as underwater passages between rooms. Players will not be immediately aware of these passages but should be rewarded for discovering them.

Darkwater Crag Encounter List

When a 1 is rolled on the Encounter Die, the GM rolls 1d20 on the table below. When it comes to the special encounters (15-20), the GM should reroll on the table if that encounter has already occurred.

1. 1 Legendary Gelatinous Cube; these creatures are not intelligent, solely seeking objects to digest.
2. 2 Flail Snails; when encountered, these creatures are usually hungry and hostile.
3. 2 Centipedes (Giant, Dire); when encountered, these creatures are usually hungry and hostile.
4. "
5. 1d4+1 Centipedes (Giant); when encountered, these creatures are usually hungry, but cautious.
6. "
7. 2d4 Rats (Giant); when encountered, these creatures are usually hungry, but cautious.
8. "

13. Goblin Brigade (2d4 Goblins and 1d2 Hobgoblins); these goblins/hobgoblins differ from the standard type, having pale skin and milky-white eyes. They have many jagged teeth, baring them when threatened. They use simple weaponry and are hostile to other humanoid creatures.

[#DUNGEON23] Mountain of the Frost Baron - Settlement Outline - Argukhart

Argukhart!

Settlement Details - Argukhart

Argukhart is the second most populous settlement in the region, with approximately 3000 inhabitants. These people are most often Dwarves. Humans and Halflings are less common. The people of Argukhart cannot grow traditional crops, but they do have many fungi farmers who cultivate underground strains of mushrooms. These fungi make for a popular but bland side dish in many Dwarven meals. However, the brewers of Lostone are able to ferment quality mead using Argukhart's fungi. Additionally, Argukhart is the primary producer of stone and precious minerals. All of this makes Argukhart an important village, but certainly not the most powerful. Finally, Argukhart is led by The Council of Elders. Each elder is a Dwarf a few-hundred years old who is currently the eldest of their Clan, or family. Dwarven Clans tend to be very large and far-reaching, being hundreds of members in number.

Important Locations within Argukhart

Below is a list of specific locations with importance in Argukhart. Not every building or shop is listed. The GM may add to Argukhart in any way they see fit, adding anything to the village that they wish. You will notice each settlement usually only has named 1 shop or merchant of each type. If you wish to add more, practice your improvisation! Make up some names.

• The Portcullis: The Portcullis is the only commonly used way in or out of Argukhart. While there are hundreds of hidden escape shafts throughout the village, the only safe and relevant way in or out is The Portcullis, which serves as the front door. The Portcullis is located on the southern edge of Argukhart, connecting directly to Craghopper Mine.
• Portcullis Barracks: Located alongside The Portcullis. Most Guards are stationed here, with others patrolling the village.
• Miner's District: The Miner's District is found directly beyond The Portcullis. It serves both as the economic heart of the village but also as the lower-class housing district. Most miners live here with their families.
• Fungal District: The Fungal District takes up the eastern edge of the village. Houses in this district are cheap, as they are often built into natural caves where fungi are cultivated. A small guard barracks is also located here to deal with the occasional cave monster.
• Market District: The Market District takes up the majority of the western half of the village. General goods may be purchased here, but not fine goods. Prices here tend to be below average.
• The Clumsy Miner: Found on the southern side of the Market District, this Inn is a popular locale for the working class of Argukhart. Food, drinks, and a night's stay are somewhat cheap, in both price and quality.
• Krobac's General Goods: Found in the heart of the Market District, this shop sells general goods. Almost any kind of Standard Item may be purchased here, save for Armor, Weapons, and Potions.
• The Miner's Guild: Found on the edge of the Miner's District and the Market District. Jobs within Craghopper Mine can be found here. Precious minerals can also be traded here at a fair price.
• Job Board: When looking for jobs, players may find up to 3 jobs each day based on the table below. When using the job generator, the GM rolls 1d4, 1d6, and 1d8.

• The Silvered Anvil: Found near The Miner's Guild, shop offers quality metalwork. Many types of Armor and Weaponry may be purchased here. They will even Silver Weapons and Armor, for a steep price.
• Mercantile District: The Mercantile District is found in the northern half of the Market District. Fine goods may be purchased here. Prices here tend to be high.
• Fungal Curiosities: Found in the heart of the Mercantile District, this shop sells both Alchemical and Magical wares, such as ingredients, Potions, Poisons, Firebombs, Magic Items, etc. The prices here are high.
• Residential District: This district makes up the center of the village. The majority of citizens live here, but they are often better off compared to those who live in the Miner's District.
• Arguk-Stol: This religious site serves as a temple dedicated to Arguk, the Dwarven God of the Hearth and Home. Clerics of Arguk claim that this site is where Arguk struck the tundra with his hammer, forging all of Argukkiin. The site is packed with worshipers most times of the day, with services being held at 6 AM, noon, and 6 PM daily.
• Noble District: The Noble District makes up the northern sector of the village. The wealthiest Dwarves live here, most being the head of their Clan. There are some specialty shops, such as jewelers and magic item merchants. Prices here tend to be high.
• Jemm-Stol: Found between the Noble District and the Mercantile District, this shop buys and sells high-quality jewels and jewelry. They often pay well when buying fine jewelry from sellers.
• The Council Chambers: Found in the heart of the Noble District. This impressive building serves as the meeting place for the Clan elders, where they decide the future of Argukhart each day. The halls of the Chambers are often patrolled by a minimum of 20 guards.
• GM Note: While only 3 Elders are named, the council consists of 15 elders. Many of them are nobles with little meaningful impact on Argukhart beyond their wealth.

Important People in Argukhart

Below is a list of specific people with importance in Argukhart. Not every inhabitant is listed. The GM may add to Argukhart in any way they see fit, fleshing out the 2500+ unnamed NPCs if they so choose.

• Dorich Alemaster: Owner and bartender of The Clumsy Miner. He is an older Dwarf with short graying hair and a stocky build. He walks with a slight limp and has a lazy left eye. He is 201 years old and was once a miner in Craghopper Mine. He claims that a cave-in caused both his lazy eye and his limp. He is generally kind but has a temper.
• Krobac Thunderaxe: Owner of Krobac's General Goods and a member of the large and wealthy Thunderaxe Clan. He is fairly young and is a low-ranking member of the clan, only 73 years old and relatively poor compared to his family. He has a thick brown beard, but no hairs grow on the top of his head. If shown the Lost Brooch from L1R29, he will eagerly offer to pay for its safe return. He is a distant cousin within the Clan.
• Orina Thunderaxe: Guildmaster of The Miner's Guild. She is an older Dwarf with long platinum hair and a thin build. She is 187 years old and has spent most of her life as the Guildmaster.
