DCC Purple Planet Path

Adventure 1: Frozen in Time: part 1

The Party

The Ghost Ice...

Art by Stefan Poag

The party arrives, after hearing the plea of local tribesmen. A glacier has appeared and creatures are emerging, terrorising the village. The party plan to investigate…

do they go along the goat path? (Even)

They decide to climb straight up the glacier, to see what is on top.

Agility DC 15...

Eshe - Dice roll (1d20)[17] = 17

Melchior - Dice roll (1d20)
[15] = 15

Katixa - Dice roll (1d20 - 1)
[11] - 1 = 10

Zeljko - Dice roll (1d20)
[1] = 1

Dice roll (1d4×10)
[2] = 20

Katixa loses her grip

Zeljko falls 10ft…

Dice roll (1d6)
[5] = 5

…and takes 5 Damage.

But, eventually, the Party climb to the top...

The Vault of Zepes Null-Eleven

Wisps of green vapor waft from a pair of circular openings in the glacier’s face, spaced 30’ apart. Blue-gray material resembling fired clay lines the tunnels.

The party climb into the tunnels, and moves through.

As they clamber in the tunnels, scuttling is heard as they get 50' through...

3 Bore Bugs come towards the party...

Combat Ends

The party crawl further and find a 3' Square Hole covered by burnished metal mesh. Beyond is a mist filled chamber, L-shaped metal housing lies askew.

DC 5 Strength to open grating

Who will open the Grate?

Roll 1d4: `[2] = 2`

Melchior will try to open. (If he fails, then Katixa will go next)

Roll 1d20-1: `[2] - 1 = 1`

Katixa pushes Melchior aside and tries to open it...

Roll 1d20+2: `[19] + 2 = 21`

The grate lifts easily as Katixa looks at Melchior smugly.

Power Plant

The party enter a stiffingly hot chamber, green vapour limits vision to 10'. Bulky machines with blinking lights loom out of the fog.

As they search around, they come across a console...

Luck Check to operate it.

Roll 1d4: `[1] = 1`

Eshe will try the console…

Roll 1d20: `[11] = 11`
Success

…Nothing seems to happen. Shrugging, they continue to the next area...

End of Session 1

A few notes, there were a few Natural 1s, which should have been fumbles. But, I believe they are saved for Combat/Spells.

Either way, this was a fun session to kick off the DCC Campaign!

I will try to update as much as I can, but there are always New & Interesting Games to try out!
