SETUP and AREA LINKS
Layout 12 cards, the PCs can explore each card as they see fit. They map to areas in the Expedition to the Barrier Peaks Reincarnated adventure.
- Area 1 - Pacifier Robots (look like angels)
- Area 2 - BIOLOGICAL ENTITY PRODUCTION CHAMBER #1
- Area 3 - BIOLOGICAL ENTITY PRODUCTION CHAMBER #2 (replace black pudding with an elder oblex with 170 hps who is immune to all physical attacks, it will also spit out copies of party members as part of its sulfurous action and rolls 3d20 for initiative taking the highest number. It should be appropriately upscaled to CR 15).
- Area 4 - Decanting Room (rot grubs)(Show Handout #63).
- Area 5 - Nutrient Administration. The blueprints for the simulacrum can be found here. It is a complex machine, a failure also releases death drinker. Success means the PCs get a copy of the cloning system (Show Handout #64).

- Area 8 - Broken Doors.
- (Queen) Area 9 - DNA Storage Bank - use flesh golem and fiendish golems for the number of Biological Entities in this encounter. There should be 1 per Type 1 per PC and 1 type 2 per 2 PCs. Decrease this total by 1 for each golem already encountered and destroyed. One of the vat men is wielding a shortsword of the thief.
- (King) Area 18 - Geneticists Quarters.
- (Ace) Area 19 - Madman's Shrine (Show Handout #68). The blood-drinker is wearing a jewel of Barbalt, placed on him by the madman while the monster was in stasis as an offering.

The PCs must move through half the deck before adding Area 5 (5 of diamonds) and reshuffling.
