Arcane Frequencies for The Guardian Construct

### Arcane Frequencies to Disrupt the Guardian Construct

In "Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition," introducing a mechanic like arcane frequencies requires a balance of creativity and adherence to the existing rules. Here's how the arcane frequencies can be elaborated to disrupt the Guardian Construct of the Underwater Ruins of Glimmerport:

#### Concept of Arcane Frequencies

* Arcane Frequencies: These are special magical resonances that, when emitted near the Guardian Construct, interfere with its magical defenses. The concept is similar to a disruptive sound frequency but in a magical context.

#### Mechanics

1. Identifying Frequencies: First, players must identify the correct arcane frequencies from Orlandus Flint's notes. This could involve Intelligence checks (Arcana), with a difficulty set by the DM based on how well the notes have been preserved and how cryptic the information is.
2. Emitting Frequencies: Once identified, players need a means to emit these frequencies. This could be done in several ways:
	* Spellcasting Modification: A spellcaster might modify a spell to incorporate the frequency. For instance, casting a cantrip or a spell while intentionally altering its magical weave to match the frequency. This would require a successful Arcana check (DC set by the DM) to modify the spell without altering its primary effects.
	* Magical Instrument or Device: Players might construct or find a magical instrument or device capable of emitting the frequency. Using the device could require an action and be limited to a certain number of uses before needing to recharge.
3. Effects on the Guardian Construct:
	* Lowered Defenses: When the correct frequency is emitted, the Guardian Construct's magical defenses are disrupted. This could lower its Armor Class by a certain amount (e.g., -2 AC) for a number of rounds (e.g., 1d4+1 rounds).
	* Disabled Reactions: The frequency might also temporarily disable the Guardian's Arcane Shield reaction, making it more vulnerable to spell attacks.
4. Risk of Use: Emitting the frequency might not be without risk. It could alert other creatures in the ruins or have a chance of failure, which could potentially backfire on the spellcaster or the device user.

#### Integration into D&D Rules

* The use of arcane frequencies would be an additional tactical element in combat. It doesn't directly deal damage but provides a strategic advantage.
* It encourages players to engage with the lore and environment, rewarding investigation and preparation.
* This mechanic would be unique to this specific scenario, adding a memorable and unique challenge to the encounter.

The DM should ensure that the information on arcane frequencies is available but not too easy to obtain, requiring effort and intelligence from the players. This approach adds depth to the encounter with the Guardian Construct, making it more than just a battle of attrition.

Caw Silentwing

### Backstory:

Your character, named "Caw Silentwing," was once a lookout aboard the notorious pirate ship, the "Midnight's Plunder." Unlike his brethren, Caw had a peculiar gift; he could mimic not only sounds but also the whispers of spirits, an ability that he kept secret.

During a fateful night raid against a rival ship, a cursed amulet was found amongst the loot. Little did the crew know that the amulet would summon a spectral tempest upon the "Midnight's Plunder." As the ship was torn asunder by ghostly winds and ethereal flames, Caw was thrown overboard, clutching the amulet.

He awoke on the shores of Glimmerport, with no memory of how he survived. The amulet had vanished, but in its place, Caw found he could now see and communicate with the spirits of his former crewmates. They were bound to him, whispering secrets of hidden treasures and long-forgotten sea routes.

As a Kenku, Caw cannot create new sounds or ideas, but he can piece together the memories of his spectral allies to guide his actions. His rogue skills are enhanced by his ghostly insights, making him a master at uncovering secrets and locating things that are meant to stay hidden.

Caw now prowls the shadows of Glimmerport, using his phantom abilities to gather information for hire and search for the amulet that doomed his crew. He hopes to find it, not for wealth or power, but to release the spirits bound to him, allowing them—and himself—to find peace. His quest for the amulet is also a quest for identity, as each spirit's release grants him fragments of their memories, slowly filling the void of creativity within him.

Puzzle: Island of Whispers Puzzle

### Riddle for the Island of Whispers Puzzle

In the overgrown ruins on the Island of Whispers, where nature has reclaimed what once was a bustling hub of pirate activity, the adventurers come across an ancient stone tablet. Time has worn its surface, but the inscribed riddle remains legible, a testament to the enigma of the island and its secrets. The riddle reads:

*"In my youth, I flew without wings, beneath the moon's silver gaze.*

*In my prime, I roamed the seas, keeper of Redtide's ways.*

*In my twilight, I lay in wait, hidden from prying eyes.*

*Seek me where the whispers fade, under the starlit skies.*

*Hold the legacy of the one who chased horizons far and wide,*

*The key to my heart lies with the dreamer of the tide."*

#### Interpretation and Solution

* The riddle references the life stages of a pirate ship, a metaphor for Captain Redtide's vessel, which symbolizes its journey from construction (youth) to its seafaring days (prime), and finally to its resting place (twilight).
* "Seek me where the whispers fade" suggests a location on the island that is quieter or more isolated, possibly a secluded cove or a hidden cave.
* "Under the starlit skies" indicates that the solution or the next clue to the map piece may only be revealed or accessible at night.
* The final lines hint at a connection to Barnabus Flint's father, the "dreamer of the tide" who was obsessed with finding Redtide's treasure. The solution could involve an item or knowledge that Barnabus' father left behind, possibly something in the adventurers' possession given by Barnabus when they started the quest.
* The "key to my heart" likely refers to a physical lock or mechanism that can be unlocked using the Sea Shanty Scroll: an object associated with Barnabus' father or a concept that he deeply believed in.

To solve the riddle, the adventurers need to explore the island, seeking a quiet location that becomes significant under the night sky. They must then use an item or knowledge related to Barnabus' father to unlock the next part of the puzzle, leading them closer to the hidden map piece and unraveling the deeper secrets of the Island of Whispers.

Thalia Merrowgaze's Speech at the Moon Tide Festival

Ladies, gentlemen, and esteemed guests of Glimmerport,

Tonight, under the celestial gaze of the full moon, we gather at the heart of our beloved city to celebrate the Moon Tide Festival. As the Keeper of the Shimmering Beacon, it is my honor to lead us in this time-honored tradition, a ceremony that mirrors the enduring spirit of our city and the unbreakable bond we share with the sea.

In the luminous embrace of the moon, we are reminded of our humble beginnings, of Captain Eldrin Seawave who first charted these shores, guided by the very same celestial light we stand under tonight. It was he who instilled in us the reverence for the ocean's might and the respect for those who brave its depths.

As the tides ebb and flow, so too have the fortunes of Glimmerport. We have witnessed prosperity and faced adversity, yet, like the steadfast lighthouse that watches over our waters, we have endured. Our city, illuminated by the brilliance of the Shimmering Beacon, stands as a testament to the resilience and unity of our community.

Tonight, as we set afloat our sea lanterns, we pay homage to the souls who have ventured beyond the horizon, those intrepid sailors whose journeys have become the tales we cherish, the legends we pass down. Each lantern is a beacon of memory, a vessel of our collective hopes and dreams, carrying with it the spirit of those we have loved and lost.

Let us remember that these waters, which have taken so much from us, have also given us immeasurable gifts. Our harbor, bustling with ships from distant lands; our markets, brimming with the bounties of the sea; our community, enriched by tales of bravery and adventure - all these are the ocean's blessings.

As we watch the lanterns drift into the vastness of the Azure Ocean, let us reflect on the journeys yet to come. Let us embrace the unknown with courage, guided by the same light that led our forebears and continues to lead us today.

May the light of the Shimmering Beacon continue to guide our way, and may the memories of those we honor tonight live on in our hearts. Here's to the brave souls of the past, the vibrant spirits of the present, and the bright promise of our future.

In unity, with respect for our past and hope for our future, let us celebrate the enduring legacy of Glimmerport. May the moon's light guide us, and may the tides always bring us home.

Thank you.

Bard Song: Ballad of Glimmerport's Tide

## Title: "Ballad of Glimmerport's Tide"

*(Verse 1)*

In the realm of Aetheria, where the sea meets the sky,

Lies the city of Glimmerport, under the sun's watchful eye.

Where the spires touch the heavens, and the docks kiss the foam,

In this land of magic and metal, many souls find their home.

*(Chorus)*

Oh, Glimmerport, where the waves and the wonders collide,

A city of secrets, in the moon's silver tide.

Where the arcane meets the iron, in the dance of the sea,

In the heart of Aetheria, forever free.

*(Verse 2)*

Here, the Arcanists whisper, in the glow of the moon,

And the Technomancers toil, to the forge's merry tune.

In the depths of Deepforge, where the fires burn bright,

And the forests of Mystara bask in magical light.

*(Chorus)*

Oh, Glimmerport, where the dreams and the drakes take flight,

A city of marvels, in the star's soft light.

Where the mysteries of the deep, with the sky's song weave,

In the heart of Aetheria, in the tales we believe.

*(Bridge)*

From the floating Skyhaven, to the streets of Sablestone,

There's a tale at every corner, in the whispering wind's tone.

In the markets of Verdant Vale, where the secrets are sold,

And the legends of Ravenloft, in the dark, are told.

*(Verse 3)*

But beware the Shadow Syndicate, lurking in the night,

And the conflicts that simmer, just out of sight.

For in Glimmerport's embrace, where the brave dare to roam,

There are dangers and wonders, in this city of chrome.

*(Chorus)*

Oh, Glimmerport, where the past and the future reside,

A city of legends, by the ocean's wide stride.

Where the sailors and mages, their stories entwine,

In the heart of Aetheria, where the stars align.

*(Outro)*

So come, all ye wanderers, to the city by the sea,

Where every journey's beginning, in Glimmerport, will be.

In the dance of the arcane, in the machine's heart beat,

There's a place for every story, where the land and ocean meet.
Razorbeak Birds

Hit Points 7 (2d6)

Speed 10 ft., fly 50 ft.

Saving Throws Dex +4

Skills Perception +3

Damage Vulnerabilities -

Damage Resistances -

Damage Immunities -

Condition Immunities -

Senses passive Perception 13

Languages -

Challenge 1/4 (50 XP)

### Actions

Peck: *Melee Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage.

Dive Attack: If the Razorbeak Bird is flying and dives at least 30 ft. straight toward a target and then hits it with a peck attack on the same turn, the attack deals an extra 3 (1d6) damage to the target.

### Reactions

Swift Escape: When the Razorbeak Bird takes damage, it can use its reaction to move up to its flying speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

The Razorbeak Bird is a small, agile avian creature commonly found in the forests and coastal areas of Aetheria. Known for their sharp beaks and swift flight, these birds are opportunistic feeders and can be quite territorial. While not particularly strong, their speed and agility make them elusive targets. They are known to swoop down on unsuspecting prey or intruders, using their razor-sharp beaks to defend their nests or to hunt for small creatures. Adventurers should be wary of their dive attacks, which can be surprisingly forceful for such a small bird. Despite their aggressive nature, they are not particularly resilient and can be driven off or defeated with a few well-placed strikes.

### Actions

Wail: Each creature within 30 feet of the wailing spirit that can hear it must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or take 5 (1d10) psychic damage.

Life Drain: *Melee Spell Attack:* +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. *Hit:* 9 (2d6 + 2) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

Wailing Spirits are the lost souls of individuals who perished in anguish or sorrow, unable to find peace in the afterlife. They are commonly found in locations marked by tragedy or significant emotional turmoil. These spirits are bound to the mortal realm by their unresolved grief, and their presence is often accompanied by a bone-chilling wail that embodies their eternal suffering.

While not inherently malicious, Wailing Spirits are driven by their torment and can lash out at the living. Their mournful wails can weaken the resolve of even the sturdiest adventurers, and their ability to drain life force makes them a dangerous foe.

The key to dealing with Wailing Spirits often lies in understanding the source of their anguish. Resolving the underlying tragedy or providing closure can sometimes release these tormented souls, allowing them to finally rest in peace. However, until such a resolution is found, they remain a sorrowful and dangerous presence, a reminder of the darker aspects of the spirit world.

The Guardian Construct of Glimmerport

Hit Points 110 (13d10 + 39)

Speed 30 ft., swim 30 ft.

Saving Throws Dex +3, Con +6

Skills Perception +4

Damage Immunities poison, psychic

Condition Immunities charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned

Senses darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 14

Languages understands the languages of its creator but can't speak

Challenge 7 (2,900 XP)

### Actions

Multiattack: The Guardian Construct makes two slam attacks.

Slam: *Melee Weapon Attack:* +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Arcane Pulse (Recharge 5-6): The Guardian Construct releases a burst of magical energy in a 15-foot radius. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

### Reactions

Arcane Shield: When a spell is cast within 30 feet of the Guardian Construct, it can use its reaction to gain advantage on saving throws against that spell.

### Legendary Actions

The Guardian Construct can take 2 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The Guardian Construct regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Detect: The Guardian Construct makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.

Arcane Counterstrike (Costs 2 Actions): The Guardian Construct makes a slam attack against a creature that has cast a spell within the last round.

#### Weakening or Deactivating the Guardian

Adventurers can use clues found in Orlandus Flint’s secret laboratory to weaken or deactivate the Guardian Construct. These include:

1. Arcane Frequencies: The laboratory notes detail specific arcane frequencies that disrupt the Guardian’s magical defenses. Casters can use these frequencies (perhaps in the form of a spell or a magical item) to temporarily lower the Guardian's Armor Class and disable its Arcane Shield reaction for a few rounds.
2. Deactivation Rune: Hidden within the notes are the designs of a deactivation rune. If the adventurers can inscribe or project this rune near the Guardian, it immediately enters a dormant state for a certain period, making it vulnerable to attacks or allowing safe passage.
3. Control Amulet: The notes hint at a control amulet that was used by the ruins' creators to command the Guardian. If the adventurers can find this amulet within the ruins, they can use it to command the Guardian to stand down or even aid them against other threats.
4. Overloading the Core: The notes describe the Guardian's power source as its core. If the adventurers can target and overload this core (possibly through a combination of spells or a well-placed explosive), they can either severely weaken or completely deactivate the Guardian.

Each of these methods requires preparation, research, and a degree of risk, offering the adventurers different approaches to overcoming this formidable challenge in the Underwater Ruins of Glimmerport.
