Prison Break?


Dungeon Magazine General Discussion


Looking to replace “Strike on Shatterhorn” with a Carceri based prison break scenario. Can anyone recommend a dungeon adventure that involves a jail or jail break?

Thanks.


Absolutely,

Definitely try Nick Logue’s “Chains of Blackmaw” in Dungeon # 135. It’s tons of fun – the PCs voluntarily go in as prisoners to protect someone inside. It’s a chance to shed some gear and pull out the wits.

Now if you don’t mind going old school also take a look at Roger Baker’s “Granite Mountain Prison” in Dungeon #36. It’s got one of the coolest map concepts I’ve seen. Love to see those pretty boys in the “Prison Break” TV show try to bust out of Granite Mountain. The PCs have to assault the prison and get a rebel leader out.

How any of this fits into SCAP I have no clue, but I suspect you do and I salute your addition of a prison break scene.

-Ask

P.S. Off topic, but I just thought I would mention that the Shoanti don’t have prisons. When they capture someone they just say “You! Don’t move!” and the poor sap stays there for the rest of his life.


Both those recommendations are spot on.


Excellent. Thank you.

Going to have an adventure involving the bastion of last hope, a surly titan and the marilith lieutenant. Unfortunately the marilith lieutenant has been imprisoned in the Vault and she is the only person who knows where Skullrot is.

PRISON BREAK!

At least. That’s the plan.


"Spiral of Manzessine", I believe, is a prison adventure in the FR Underdark. This was in Dungeon #94. I haven't played it, but hope to some day. "Chains of Blackmaw" was good fun.


Johnn Four's roleplayingtips.com e-zine has been working on a series about jail breaks. That link is to No. 1 of three articles.

Where are the sigils of supprestion and static listed? Which source? Cant fint them on the TSR complete spell list. Thanks.

They're described on p. 86, under "New Magic Items/Echo Stone".

Thanks. Not sure how I missed that.


"Escape from Meenlock Prison," an awesome first-level scenario I recently had the joy of running (published in Dungeon #146), features a prison as the main adventure locale. All I have to say is... what a way to kick off a campaign! Don't know if it'll meet your needs, though...
