The Opening

“The walls of Ironshriek Bastion are vibrating with a pitch that makes your teeth ache and your eyes bleed. An engineer stumbles toward you, clutching a jagged brass gear, and begs you to reach the Echo Chamber before the fortress tears itself into scrap.”

— Hook · Dungeon Crawl

Set the Scene

The players arrive at the massive gates of Ironshriek Bastion as a localized tremor shakes the ground, accompanied by a high-pitched whine that causes minor nosebleeds.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The Bastion was built to cage a storm, but the cage is rusting through.
  2. 02
    No one has come out of the lower forges for three days, yet the hammering never stops.
  3. 03
    Drinking the oil from the Bastion walls grants visions of a silent world.
Stakes

If the resonance reaches its peak, the Bastion and the surrounding three settlements will be leveled by a localized earthquake.

Ticking Clock·The Pitch: Every hour of game time, the frequency increases. Players take cumulative penalties to hearing-based checks and eventually take periodic sonic damage.

Background Lore

Ironshriek Bastion was constructed over a geological rift that produces natural sonic frequencies. The 'Scream-Engine' was built to harness this into energy, but it has recently begun to feedback.

What the World Knows

A mechanical failure in the Bastion's core is causing structural damage and needs immediate repair by someone brave enough to enter the 'Kill-Zone'.
