Mission Start:
At Precinct Four, A humongous wurm is rampaging the city. The land is trampled and innocent citizens are dying.
A group of powerful healers/scholars/shamans/soldiers approaches the party with an urgent request. They stopped the beast temporarily but were unable to figure out the causes of the crazy wurm. They ask brave adventurers to venture into the wurm’s body and find out the problem.
Inside the Wurm:
The party steps into the massive digestive tract, where they find themselves in a surreal, organic world. The walls are made of muscle and tissue, veins pulse with dark energy, and the air is thick with bile and stomach acid.
Stomach Acids and Toxic Air: The stomach contains highly acidic liquids that could dissolve anything not protected by the right magical defenses. The players must use their wits to avoid dissolving or suffocating.
Internal Defenses: The wurm’s immune system has been corrupted, and it actively fights the intrusion. Hostile white blood cells, mutated organisms, or even parasitic worms could be obstacles.
Tumors and Growths: The tumors within the wurm are the source of its affliction. They are not just physical anomalies but are corrupted by ancient, malevolent magic. Some tumors are twisted with necromantic energy, spawning horrific creatures or blighting parts of the wurm’s body. The players must destroy or remove these tumors carefully, as any misstep could have devastating consequences.
The Core of the Infection:
The heart of the tumor is the source of its sickness—a massive, parasitic Beholder has infected the creature’s very essence. Players would face the most dangerous encounter yet. This beholder has grown beyond its regular form, and it commands not only the wurm’s defenses but also manipulates the very magic that permeates its body. The tumor is a horrifying amalgamation of flesh and magic, capable of controlling the wurm’s actions and manipulating its immune response.
Once the beholder is destroyed, the party must decide what to do with the wurm. Will they heal it, restoring its balance and power? Or will they slay the creature, knowing that its death might also cause irreversible damage to the city and the surrounding land?
Optional Side Quests
Rescue Missions: While navigating the creature, the party may encounter creatures or people that have been trapped inside it. The rescued NPC could become new contacts, and introduce new quests in the future.
The Beast’s Memory: The Colossus may have a fragmented memory or consciousness that the party could navigate. The party could communicate with the beast, either to understand it better or learn why it was infected in the first place.
