Scene 5: The Tower - Red Dragon's Tale: A LEGO Adventure

Scene 5: The Tower. Make sure the Tower is fully assembled before running this part of the adventure. The tower has three floors, which are described in the sections that follow. First Floor: Shrine When one or more Player Characters arrive here, read the following aloud: This level of the tower has a shrine backed against one wall. Carved above the shrine are five stone dragon heads, and resting on the shrine's altar is a lustrous green orb. A large key rests in a small stand on the floor. Large Key The large key unlocks the door to the prison cell in the dungeon (see scene 3). It also locks and unlocks the trap door described below. Trap Door Just inside the door to this room, and exactly where one would stand to pick up the large key from its holder, is a hidden trap door. Any creature heavier than a housecat that steps on the trap door causes it to open, dropping the creature into the basement below (see scene 4). The creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage from the fall. A Player Character can use the large key described above to lock the trap door so that it doesn't open. Dragon Orb and Throne An Orb of Dragonkind rests on the shrine's altar. This powerful magic item contains the essence of an evil dragon and is dangerous to use. Whoever controls the orb can issue a telepathic call that extends for 40 miles in all directions. Evil Dragons in range feel compelled to come to the orb as soon as possible by the most direct route. If the orb is used in this way, Cinderhowl is the only dragon to answer the call, as described in scene 6. The shrine itself was built by the tower's original owner, who was a member of an evil organization called the Cult of the Dragon. The stone heads above the altar represent Tiamat, the five-headed queen of evil dragons. The five dragon heads snap at any creature other than a Dragon or a dragonborn that touches the orb or the shrine. Make one attack roll (1d20 + 5). If the attack hits, whoever triggered the attack takes 5d6 piercing...
