DUNGEON23 – Megadungeon Challenge – Room #26 – Level #2a – The Citadel

THE RUBY WEED

This shop, named the Ruby Weed, is run by a Crone of Chaos whose name is Phylera.

Phylera in her true form

She is always disguised by her illusion spell that gives her the appearance of a middle aged woman with black long hairs and a deep black eyes with oversized pupils.

Despite her nature (Neutral Evil), she is allowed to live in the Citadel provided she does not cause any trouble…that means not to ensnare and devour any male of any race for whatever reason.

However, malevolent tongues have often spread the news that some misterious disappearance have a strong connections with the Crone, but Phylera strongly dismisses these rumors claiming that she is ready to respond to this accusations, only if proofs are openly brought to the attention of the authorities.

Phylera’s house is guarded by two animals that serve her as companions. A bagder and a giant constrictor snake.

Phylera is also negotiating to buy the whole structure of the Slaugtherhouse, but other influencing personalities of the Citadel are opposing this purchase they consider invasive…and dangerous for the citizen of the Citadel.

The Crone is looking for influent people capable of supporting her project.

At the Ruby Weed the following stuff can be purchased and sold:

  • Exotic bones
  • Herbs coming from any of the Outer Planes
  • Volcanic glass
  • Spells of high level (7th to 9th level). The Game Master must always keep in mind that a Crone of Chaos is very similar to a Hag, and a Hag never gives magical power away just in exchange for money.
  • Exotic metals from Outer Planes
  • Information about anyone in the Citadel, especially about her enemies
