The Thirty Worlds - World V

[Q Man]

30 Dimensional Fatigue Events Our premise is that the following disaster happened and what kind of world or worlds could have or did result from this disaster. If there are (will be) multiple ideas, then additional threads World Ib, World Ic, etc can be created.

5. Biotoxin Contamination



The other dimensions that arcanotech touches aren't always friendly or conducive to organic life, or are host to non-carbon based lifeforms. Often a device will fail, and there isn't a massive explosion, or a sudden burst of hot radiation. Sometimes there is a venting from that other place. The resulting gout of alien chemicals creates a contamination zone. Some potential contaminants include atmospheric toxins (whiff of sulfur) choking fumes (as per a long rotten tomb, with mephitic vapors) or exposure to known but anachronistic chemicals such as a cloud of mustard gas, or chlorine gas.



Scenario: After a near miss stopping an arcanotech device in the hands of a madman, the device begins belching out thick clouds of roiling greenish smoke. The smoke causes internal hemorrhaging and can easily contaminate water supplies. The PCs have a countdown to find medical treatment before they bleed out on the inside.

There is an example scenario, but don't let that limit your ideas, write your own scenario and rift off of that. This is a group brainstorming exercise so go for it.

The toxic cloud nearly destroyed the Serpent Empire, a mighty barbarian turned to black magic and recreated it to finally bring down the Hyborian age. Now the immortal undead barbarian sends out the horrible creatures he was able to summon and spread the disaster, along w the undead barbarians he made.
