Overview
Among the lone and level sands of this stretch of the Singing Wastes lie the ruins of a great hot air balloon. It set out from Shuttered some time ago carrying three noble exiles and their flesh golem minders from the City.
The three flesh golems (29.14.35) patrol the downed craft even now, carrying great mechanical crossbows that they shoot at any intruder (as some hungry local ghouls have learned to their cost). Two of the prisoners are still securely bound but the third was fed to the other two after food supplies ran out. If approached the two prisoners will offer anything they can think of in return for rescue.
Hooks
- What is the role of these flesh golem minders supposed to be? Why doesn’t the City use normal guards?
- What crime did these noble prisoners commit?
- How long until one of the two gets fed to the other?
- Is there any way to negotiate with the flesh golems or are they mindlessly hostile?
- Who are some nobles (aside from the father of Giles Chosard, see 09.06) that have been exiled in the past. Where did they end up? Those hot air balloons could end up just about anywhere.
