Dungeon: Palace of Bones

Hidden behind the waking reality of I’Cath is a perfect city of precision, obedience, and gold that exists only in Darklord Tsien Chiang’s dreams. Through the warped power of the Nightingale Bell, she shares her vision of a sprawling, orderly city run by an obedient, thankful populace. The bell spreads the dream to dominate the sleep of I’Cath’s population, causing it to persist even when Tsien Chiang is awake. The dream city is a vision of perfection for Tsien Chiang, but for all others it’s a realm of inescapable drudgery and thankless labor.

Dungeon Pre-requisites

The Palace of Bones lies at the center of the labyrinthine city of I'Cath. Though the edifice sits clearly upon a far hill, magic and complex structures inhibit one's progress towards it. You must complete the following before attempting the dungeon.
  • Pacify Tsien Chiang's eldest daughter, Tsien Lei-An. Voiceless Tsien Lei-An is made entirely of eyes and has the statistics of a scarecrow. She wishes for a robe of ghost hair silk or a jiangshi’s slippers. Discovering this requires a successful moderate social skill challenge, or the use of the detect thoughts spell. Failure causes Lei-An to flee until the next night, increasing the length of the journey by 24 hours.
  • Pacify Tsien Chiang's middle elder daughter, Tsien Man-Yi. Made of pale wood, Tsien Man-Yi must remain near the willow tree in the courtyard of the Palace of Bones, and has the statistics of a dryad. She wishes for flowers from the Gemstone Garden or for a friend to fall asleep under her tree’s boughs. Discovering this requires a successful moderate social skill challenge, or the use of the speak with plants spell. Failure causes Man-Yi to flee until the next night, increasing the length of the journey by 24 hours.
  • Pacify Tsien Chiang's middle younger daughter, Tsien Seu-Mei. Voiceless Tsien Seu-Mei is made entirely of teeth and has the statistics of a ghoul. She wishes to eat a delicious dessert or care for one of the fish of the Gemstone Gardens. Discovering this requires a successful moderate social skill challenge, or the use of the speak with dead spell. Failure causes Seu-Mei to flee until the next night, increasing the length of the journey by 24 hours.
  • Pacify Tsien Chiang's youngest daughter, Tsien Wai-Ching. Made of living fog, Tsien Wai-Ching is the youngest daughter and has the statistics of a specter. She wishes to help a spirit from Ping’On Tower find its family or to play with an incorporeal toy. Discovering this requires a successful moderate social skill challenge, or the use of the see invisibility spell. Failure causes Wai-Ching to flee until the next night, increasing the length of the journey by 24 hours.
  • For every 24 hours you are traveling to the Palace of Bones (minimum of 24 hours), you must make 6d100 rolls (4 during the day, 2 at night)
  • For every roll of 25 or below, you have a random urban encounter !table urban
   

Dungeon Rewards

  This dungeon is under Mage's College jurisdiction. You receive 200 reputation for clearing it or four minor potions.   At the completion of the dungeon (all encounters complete), a DM will roll five Treasure Hoards for you and your name will be added to the Completionist List. This will count as five of your eighteen Tier II treasure hoards. You will not be able to benefit from this dungeon on this character again (you may continue to gather Tomes of Knowledge or tackle the special encounters, however).   There are hidden chests in this dungeon. You must beat the listed DC with either a Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) check. Failure the first time means you do not find it. If you wish to continue to seek for it, you must complete any combination of four hard skill challenges or combat encounters to try again.  

Dungeon Icons & Map Link

  Throughout the dungeon, you will encounter different terrain types. Walls obviously cannot be bypassed, except through doors. The position of doors will be indicated in each room description. Stairs up and down are uniformly colored dark purple. All unseen creatures have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks when moving across carpeted areas. Beds, tables, barrels, and other miscellaneous furniture are considered difficult terrain. Ceilings are all ten feet high, except in the outdoor area of Level 1.   You must first add a token to initiative before you can assign the map to it.

Sewer Channel

A highly suspicious bridge of rooting boards spans a sluggish stream of sewage that runs from twenty to twenty-five feet across. A pair of wooden rowboats are moored on either side, though one has sprung a foul leak. The walls are all fashioned from the same rough hewn stone, caked with grime, and a set of stairs leads deep into the city sewers to the east. A warped wooden door sits in the wall to the west at the end of the bridge.

Head west.

If you approach this room from the west, your starting position is AJ14.
If you approach the area from the catacombs beneath I'Cath, your starting position is anywhere within the range of AU11 to AV17.
If you approach the area from the sewers beneath I'Cath, your starting position is anywhere within the range of AN7 to AR7.
