'''Uvior's Tragedy''' | '''''Uvior's Tragedy''''' | ||
If the party asks Uvior about what happened before they arrived, Uvior is generally elusive, declaring that they need not concern themselves with the past and should just focus on getting rid of the gretchlings. A DC 12 AWR/Intuiting check will confirm that he is hiding something, and a DC 24 CHA/Persuading check will get Uvior to open up and explain what happened. | If the party asks Uvior about what happened before they arrived, Uvior is generally elusive, declaring that they need not concern themselves with the past and should just focus on getting rid of the gretchlings.

Six years ago, Uvior invited all of his old adventuring companions to have a feast with him in remembrance of their past quests. Uvior was particularly excited to show them an artifact he had discovered. When used correctly, the artifact would solidify the user’s soul into a physical form, effectively bestowing immortality upon the creature. However, the artifact malfunctioned, turning Uvior into some kind of ghost and exploding outward with concussive arcane force that immediately turned all of Uvior’s guests into stone. Uvior has been trapped in his incorporeal form ever since, and wants more than anything to discover a way to reverse the damage. | Six years ago, Uvior invited all of his old adventuring companions to have a feast with him in remembrance of their past quests.

Randomly determine one of the party members and make a +2 attack against their ANT. On a hit, a floorboard snaps.

'''<big>Book Trap</big>''' | |||
Do not use this trap too frequently; every four or five times a hero tries to interact with a book is plenty. When a hero grabs a book off of a shelf without first investigating (AWR/ Investigating DC 14), the book might be trapped. Make a +4 attack against their ANT. On a hit, the shelf falls on the hero for 1d10 blunt damage, and the hero is Dazed for the next 1 minute. | Do not use this trap too frequently; every four or five times a hero tries to interact with a book is plenty.

She and the other gretchlings, under the leadership of Mogg the Marvelous, are trying to find and devour all of his delicious magic scrolls and items.
