make them far more cautions, they deserve to be
eaten by a very hungry snake that attacks them
seconds after they ignore the hints of danger.
B – The snake always comes to the same spot in
the jungle to leave its waste. This has caused a ten
foot tall pile of boa waste to develop on the side
of the animal trail. While a pile of this material
might not seem like much of an interesting
encounter; it is ten feet tall and thirty feet wide.
The mass is also filled with useful equipment the
snake couldn’t digest. The characters will have to
come up with the idea to dig through the smelly
mass to gain the many useful items. To give them
help with that idea, there is a magnificent ten
foot long spear head sticking out from the mass.
The metal is golden on the spear head and shines
brightly in the sun.
Over the years of the snake’s life, it has
accumulated many types of equipment that has
sat in the muck of the pile. There are quality
swords, maces and spears in the pile. Included
are flashlight-like devices, several batons with
images of Set on them, and one blast pike that
can be figured out that has fifty shots and does 19
points of damage with each strike.
While searching mainly reveals ruined leather
armor, there is one set of silver plate mail that a
large character can wear. This armor is unusually
useful and protects against energy weapons that
would normally melt typical steel.
C – There is a crushed scooter that lies in pieces
along the trail. A red pile of slime, that was an
android, covers the back half of the broken bike.
The android was on its way to fix a machine
submerged in the middle of the lake. The
mechanic went at night knowing there were no
people around. It didn’t count on the aggressive
nature of the boa. The snake pounced, but didn’t
take into account the heated nature of the scooter.
It started crushing it and the android, but the hot
engine and exhaust badly burnt the flesh of the
snake. It retreated in pain.
The pile of red goo has what could be an extremely
useful tool belt. There are numerous powered tools
on the belt as well as a universal key that opens
any door in the dome. However, if the characters
do anything with the white, android suit they find,
they activate a special tracking device. Within
three days other androids come looking for the
equipment and challenge the characters as if they
were guards from the city.
D – Whenever there is an occurrence where a
character wants to leave the trail and go into the
jungle, they get lost. As they move about, they
either encounter the boa or this storage facility. It
looks like a huge rock, but if it’s touched by the
characters it beeps and a door appears as it readies
itself to open. The characters are going to have
difficulty opening the door, as it takes a special
activation device (there is one in encounter C).
It would appear as if the door wants to open, in
that it springs open a half inch. However, the
characters won’t be able to get into the area unless
they expend a lot of effort.
Consider this the perfect tool shed for a gardener.
There are shovels, rakes, and the like for working
in gardens. There is a riding mower that can be
figured out and used by the characters. There are
five anti-gravity belts that allow characters to rise
and fall in the air as they figure out the workings
of the belt. There are bags and large liquid
containers of many types of fertilizer. Racks and
racks are filled with bags of seeds suitable for
expanding the typical jungle. A calming voice
comments on every tool and seed in the storage
area and describes what it does; making it easy
for the characters to figure out what things are and
how useful the things could be.
