The Plot

A Palafitte (Large wooden construction on stilts) sits out on a lake. It was the Temple of an alchemist, and is shaped as a large cross. Each of the four wings has an "elemental" theme; Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The central Tower cannot be entered until a special elemental treasure has been collected from each of the four quarters. The Palafitte is filled with Manikins, animated human dummies who attack slowly, are highly armoured, but have "strings" which can be severed. The central tower contains floating globes which are the remnants of the soul of the old alchemist, and cast spells at the party. This adventure was run for five startup characters.
