Diesel Djinn: This gasoline-soaked airplane hanger hosts a clunky rocket pack that’s oozing diesel. Pull the ripcord (str check) to call forth Jason Sludgetham, an oozing Earth djinn (gasoline subtype) who powers the rocket pack and is always connected to the exhaust pipes. He wants nothing more than to be set free with a wish.

Complete his obstacle course to attune to the rocket pack, and he’ll grant you 3 wishes. 1) Fly through hoops that get smaller. 2) Pick up the heavy crate and deliver it to a high scaffolding. 3) Dead drop, cut off the engine to land on a small pad close to the deadly ventilating ceiling fans.

This room is guarded by one large, mischievous, flying diesel ooze.

Spudlings’ Secret Garden: This old retired couple are root vegetable monsters with poisonous tendril whips. He’s a potato in a speedo. She’s a carrot in a bikini. They’re cooking flayed skin underneath a huge heat lamp that deals UV damage to unprotected skin. They’re lounging in Adirondack chairs, basting the skin until it’s ready to eat. Around the chairs are the bodies of skinned adventurers. They feed their poison into beach umbrellas that occasionally spray the room with a poisonous mist.

This beachy room is their dream retirement spot where they construct pre-packaged and branded Spudlings’ Snack Traps for sale. Their workbench contains tools and a wide variety of deadly things like knives, spikes & acid.

Each wall has a “torture” device that they love to use, but would damage you. One wall has flailing, poisoned whips. A shotgun wall fires salt and birdshot. One wall is a cheese grater, and they sleep on a bed of nails. There's a printing press in the corner where they make fliers advertising their traps.

Shrine of the Technosaurus Rex: This room is covered in thick, sloppy, dripping layers of colorful paint. Each wall has a massive throbbing orifice that’ll occasionally spray a deluge of paint into the room. In the center of the room is a mound of paint covering long-dead cyber-sloths cultists, reaching to pull the lever that summons the T-Rex. An eldritch dial surrounding the lever can be moved to change the orifice liquids, 99% chance it’s paint.
Under the layers of paint, in a corner is a see-through gun-locker filled with magic acetone that’ll destroy paint and drain the color from anything. On the walls, under the paint, are the instructions on using the dials and summoning the T-Rex.
The T-rex is actually a painting service that’s violently malfunctioning, but can be fixed. It has a bite, stomp, tail whip and a harvestable tongue that’s a wand of paint spraying. If you are hit, save or suffer the following conditions: Yellow Bile: Stinks & sickens. Cyan Slow: Depression. That’s why they call it the blues. Black Slick:- Slippery like a grease spell. Magenta Brain Addle: Discuss your latest art project.

The Vat Spawn watch the Goblin King polymorph the missing Ariana from a beautiful pop star into a grotesque goblin. A hundred goblins cheer him on as the transformation occurs. “Goblins is people?” Dragon Warrior queried.

Bat Alchemist lights a joint from the demon dog’s fire breath to regain his lost health. Then he reverse engineered Warlock Roc’s listening device to play Enrique Iglesias through the tone-stone walls, causing them to gather in one area for a makeshift dance party. Turns out goblins are obsessed with Enrique Iglesias.

Tiger Wizard takes advantage of the distracting dance party, springs through the door, and casts Nitar’s Fireball, serving a dish of fiery destruction.

The Goblin King breathes fire from the demonic face in the center of his torso, but Tiger Wizard and Bat Alchemist move out of the way. The goblins swarm the Vat Spawn as they fight-dance to Enrique Iglesias.

Dragon Warrior sits atop the demon dog Lotto and charges into the room. Lotto breathes fire into the goblin horde as Dragon Warrior swan dives into the goblins as he casts Pognif Explosion exploding himself and a single goblin to bits... and then he reforms.

Bat Alchemist uses his soulbound weapon Clippy’s ability to hit multiple targets. In return for his services, Clippy demands to be of assistance immediately and makes Bat Alchemist do calisthenics to get better at attacking.

Tiger Wizard dances through the goblin horde to whiff hitting the Goblin King, and notices that he’s wearing a wooden mask.

Warlock Roc attempts to sneak away, but trips on her high heels into the goblin horde. Dragon Warrior wades through the gobs to give Warlock Roc a healing potion, which brought her back to full power and made her glow pink.

The Goblin King grabs Tiger Wizard and begins polymorphing him into a goblin. Tune in next week to see how goblined up Tiger Wizard gets.

Lich lord Scapulator has built Crush Hammer Gym, a colossal skyscraper in the shape of a muscled arm flexing with a bulging bicep. He’s lured muscle wizards here under the guise of a fitness cult, but his actual intentions are to mystically syphon their strength into the gym to give it enough power to punch The Moon, a loving & benevolent god who looks down on the world while threateningly holding a shiv. Can the PCs stop Scapulator before he can initiate his world-ending punch of vengeance?
