The Ironclad Tankard

Yzortama

The Ironclad Tankard is a fortress-like tavern on a war-torn frontier.

Author's Note: The Ironclad Tankard is designed to be a haven for those who have spent their lives fighting, whether in the trenches or on the open battlefield. It serves as a perfect location for characters seeking to rest, plot, or find mercenary work. With a robust and almost mythical atmosphere, it offers a setting for roleplay involving camaraderie, brawls, and opportunities for heroics. This tavern caters to the bold, and those who find themselves here must prove themselves either through their words, deeds, or sheer strength. Suggested Themes for Adventures: - Mercenary contracts or bounty hunting opportunities - Tournaments or challenges held within the tavern for gold and glory - Espionage and covert missions that take root in the tavern’s shadows - Fights between rival factions of adventurers, with stakes that could change the balance of power in nearby lands Feel free to use this tavern as a foundation for stories centered around warriors, camaraderie, and the rougher side of adventuring life.

Roar

The sphinx emits a magical roar. Each time it roars before finishing a long rest, the roar is louder and the effect is different, as detailed below. Each creature within 500 feet of the sphinx and able to hear the roar must make a saving throw. First Roar. Each creature that fails a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw is frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Second Roar. Each creature that fails a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw is deafened and frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature is paralyzed and can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Third Roar. Each creature makes a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 44 (8d10) thunder damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone.
