PILL-SHAPED ARTIFICIAL LIFE (TRPG ENCOUNTER)


PILL-SHAPED ARTIFICIAL LIFE

1 Meter Tall
Encountered: 2d6
Found: Underground.
4 HP 
Attacks: Grapple, Pull apart d4 damage.

Semi-transparent shell skin, brightly colored shapes cloudily visible inside. Little cloth pants you can burn for 1 hour of light per. Nonorganic, inedible organs, feels like hard plastic.

Unclear what their purpose is. 1/3 chance they are using light, in which case they will have a single carbide headlamp with d8 hours of fuel. 

What are they doing?

  1. Climbing up the same rocks over and over.
  2. Trying to eat rocks (no mouths).
  3. Dance-fighting.
  4. Mining without tools, futilely.
  5. Deconstructing a peer, 50% chance alive.
  6. Motionless, staring at you.
First 3 will not resist interference but once the 4th is touched they will instantly attack en masse.

  1. Bizarre and strangely unwholesome. I dig it! Bonus points if they stare at you and seem to discuss amongst themselves how Weird and Fleshy you are.

  2. Are they yellow by any chance? They sound like Lovecraftian Minions.
