While reading Sharn City of Towers, I came up with an interest city adventure.
Here's the premise:
The Brelish Museum of Art has just acquired a new piece of ancient artwork from Xen'drik. It is a large bronze statue of Khyber and Siberys fighting over a large (fist-size) dragon shard. The Siberys is surround by number of small true dragons on the top and the base is Khyber is depicted as a large wingless dragon surrounded by small wingless dragon-kin.
When placing in a display room one of the teamsters accidentally dropped the large statue, cracking the dragon shard slightly and activating a defense mechanism. Afterwards the small dragon statues came to life along with the dragon-kin statues and started attacking everyone in the building. I plan to use the homonculi in the monster manuel (the clay scout for the flying dragon statues and the iron defender for the wingless statues).
Any way, everyone that can leaves the building and the owner puts it on lock down. With only days away from a big opening the manager needs to get this situation dealt with as quickly and silently as possible. So he sends an assistant to find help, i.e. the PCs.
The premise sounds fun but I've only come up with a few encounters:
1. PCs deal with the Kyhber spawn statues (Iron defenders)
2. PCs deal with the Flying statues (Clay Scouts)
3. PCs help workers trapped inside the building. (1 trapped under a large statue, 1 has gone crazy and locked himself up in an closet or something)
I feel like I should have a few more types of encounters. I'm also trying to decide what so special about the shard there protecting, I'm probably going to have it holding a monster. Any ideas?
Keep in mind this is a 4e, lv 1-2 adventure.
