Rise of the Runelords

A furnace burns along the southeast wall, its rumbling filling the room and imposing a disadvantage check on perception. Marble tables are used to shape raw glass, while wooden tables hold tools of the trade. The main furnace in the northeast burns with a hot blue alchemical fire, melting glass and occasionally disposing of evidence for Sczarni thugs—its heat incinerates bones and teeth. A creature forced inside takes 6d6 fire damage per round, though the narrow opening makes it difficult. The furnace’s stone pipes extend southwest, leading to smaller, cooler furnaces that regulate glass temperatures. When the PCs arrive, they find a gruesome scene of goblin boredom. Eight murdered staff lie in various stages of dismemberment, their limbs burned in the furnace. Melted glass is poured over corpses in an attempt to duplicate Tsuto’s “masterpiece”—Lonjiku’s body, propped in a chair, encased in thick, runny sheets of hardened glass.
