Once per day one may, if the vase is at least partially full of fresh water, place a quantity of tadpoles, frogs or toads within this vase, 1d6 of which will, over the course of the next ten minutes, take the form of miniature (normal frog-sized)
Vroats (see
Arduin Grimoire I or
Arduin Trilogy); once they leave the confines of the vase they will rapidly transform into fully-grown 4+1 hit die Vroats. The possessor of the vase is granted no preternatural ability to communicate with, empathize with, influence or control these Vroats. In many climes care must be taken to not leave water in the vase unattended, lest one inadvertently unleash a plague of Vroats upon the locale.
All hail the Vroats plague! \m/
ReplyDelete"I just keep a couple of them in the walled gardens that surround my manor; takes care of intruders pretty well in rainy season..."
ReplyDeleteImagine if the frogs in Stephen King's "Rainy Season" were vroats instead?
ReplyDeleteI love this....going to throw this in the mega-dunge for tomorrow night's game and see how many PCs get slaughtered..... :)
I lost the gardener again? Honey have you seen the nice young man from the The Bornite mountains? Followed by the sound of Vroats chewing yet another gardener!
ReplyDeleteThis little security device"trap" must get quite the work out in certain tropical sections of Algol. How soon are we going to see the pdf & print version of this fantastic setting. Ya I know perfection can't be rushed! Eric
my players discovered the Vroat Vase, but no one thought to pour water into it. They did take the frogs to keep as pets though.....not sure why.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I'd probably want to keep frogs as pets as well...makes sense to me!
