Bodysnatching Trolls

They slime their victims and create a complete copy, usually also with memories and some or most equipment as long as they keep the form. Changing back to their natural form takes an action in combat. They must wait 24 hours and have a long rest after changing back to their original form before they can copy someone again. They do not change back after losing consciousness or death.

Victims of the copying tend to get slimed and typically suffer disadvantage on all skill checks, attacks, and saves for a temporary duration. Time is 10 turns divided by the CON save and then floored (rolling a dirty 10 and the next turn the victim has disadvantage, but rolling an 11 or greater saves).

Attacking or specifically shooting them in the head deals double damage. They leak a greasy oil and also sometimes slime their victims in the process of copying them.

Abstract

An IINA story.

Midgard exists as a world out of timelines, though with its own irrational timetravel trickery they usually makes no sense. It has four quadrants, named after the seasons. Each quadrant has a contact to help break into the middle where the mad scientist has escaped to.

The city has a wall around it with four magical portal doors. The north door goes to the troll under the Aurora Bridge in Seattle, Earth 2062ish. The south door goes to the same spot in 2262. Jumping over the wall will leave the city but not send the traveller through a portal.

The middle of the city has a tall tower, the tallest point in view. No mountains to see past the walls. But from the walls one can see the icy mountains in the distance.

Unless otherwise noted, assume folks of midgard are orkish or trolls and they speak a pidgin of primarily of Orkish, French, and some Troll. The average adult height reaches a mighty two meters.

The PCs should come to Midgard after having openned Little Prince's MacGuffin. Midgard will have somewhat recently/locally invented m-paper but also suffer from an invasion of bodysnatching trolls (BST) from an alternate timeline working for the Mad Scientist.

Most buildings in the city have masonry construction, with an average height of four stories each.

Treasure

M-Paper

A relatively common techno-magical paper in Midgard, invented by Daifin in March of 2064. Some users (MadSc, Bendis, and the Sheriff) have hacked it to use as a transporter, but most of the time folks use it to cast spells they do not know without the possibility of drain side effects.

Adding m-paper to Little Prince's MacGuffin case will allow the user to bamf their vehicle (or storage container) to a location of their choice from a given selection.

The Magic Dice

The Magic Flute

TODO The Magic Stick

Fire damage.

The Magic Cloth

The Life of Mister Interesting

Not necessarily part of this module, but related by context:

XJammer left behind an encrypted diary of information. These are the more interesting details.

Easily unlock XJammer's book using a piece of m-paper. It has a documents that detail:

• A plot to assassinate Agent Smithereens by Daifin.
• The likelihood that the Mad Scientist probably has the cure for
AARS.
• Chief Tony had a contact in Alaska. "I'll followup on this person
later..."
• Big Cheese and Big Mac grew up together.

"If yer reading this, I probably died. No big deal if I have: Just plug in the M-paper chip hidden in the back of this book to an extra comlink."

The back of the book (if paper or electronic format) has a page or print off of a small chip that looks like it will fit nicely into a comlink. Doing so will activate the matrix-ghost version of XJammer.
