Artificer Side Quest Three

Unstable Prototype

An artificer-in-training in one of the workshops got a little ahead of themselves while crafting a clockwork golem, and now it's malfunctioning spectacularly. Gears grind, steam hisses, and the automaton thrashes wildly as artificers flee for their lives. Jump in and see if you can assist! Roll a d6 dice to see how you do.

If you rolled a 1: You try to help, but your tinkering and meddling makes the problem worse. The golem starts breathing fire, and its rampage destroys several projects in progress by other artificers. The golem eventually powers down on its own, but you’re covered in soot and the workshop is a mess!

If you rolled a 2-3: You manage to distract the golem, dodging its wild swings while shouting instructions to the artificers scrambling around you. With teamwork, you finally pull its power source loose, but the damage to the workshop is considerable.

If you rolled a 4-5: You quickly analyze the golem’s weak points and use your expertise to outmaneuver it. A few well-placed strikes (or a magical override) cause it to shut down without destroying the workshop. A job well done.

If you rolled a 6: You don’t just stop the clockwork golem - you fix it! With quick thinking and masterful engineering, you stabilize the prototype, turning it into a functional automaton instead of a rampaging menace. You receive an extra +25 fairy gold and an Arcane Core as a reward.

Draw or write about how your character handles the clockwork golem and whether they are successful in helping, or not.

Rewards:

100 fairy gold

Artificer Side Quest Four

Blueprints

You find a set of blueprints, meticulously drawn, but in place of usual labels, they contain strange letters based on the Periodic Table of Elements. It's a puzzle meant for someone with knowledge of arcane engineering. It seems like you need to match the Four Principles of Artificing with their corresponding element.

Four Principles of Artificing:

Transmutation (transforming matter)

Stabilization (maintaining a steady state)

Resistance (withstanding force)

Conversion (moving or amplifying energy)

Elements:

Tungsten (w)

Mercury (Hg)

Copper (Cu)

Lead (Pb)

DM the founder Isi (isi.a) on discord with your guess. You have 3 tries per character.

Alternatively, draw or write about your character attempting to solve the puzzle.

If you have already solved the puzzle, roll 1d6:

If you rolled a 1: You can’t figure it out 

If you rolled a 2-3: You succeed but at a high cost (or only partially succeed)

If you rolled a 4-5: You succeed 

If you rolled a 6: You succeed wildly!

Rewards:

100 fairy gold (200 if solved)

10 crystals

Mystery device blueprints

Gunpowder

Artificer Side Quest Six

Technical Team-up

⚠️This is a partner quest! Recruit another artificer and include them in your quest submission or do a collab.⚠️

Two minds are better than one. The Artificers Guild has issued a special challenge: team up with another artificer and create something unique and extraordinary! What do you create? A set of explosive armour? A weapon attached to puppet strings? An alchemical mixture that creates unique effects when you give it to automatons? The sky's the limit.

Draw or write about your character and their project partner inventing something cool.

Rewards (for each character, not shared):

200 fairy gold

20 crystals

Clockwork Trophy

Welding Mask

⌛

Artificer Side Quest Seven

Salvage Run

A legendary artificers workshop was uncovered not long ago, and the wreckage is still hidden in the wilds. Enter the vast workshop and search for raw materials, technology and parts. But be careful! You never know whether the workshop is being guarded by devices - or creatures - that may still be active.

Draw or write about your character exploring an abandoned artificers workshop for materials.

Rewards:

100 fairy gold

10 crystals

Diamond tipped glass cutter

Crystal goggles

⌛

Artificer Side Quest Eight

Ghost in the Machine

One of your creations has started acting... odd (or, alternatively, a creation has had unexpected effects you did not intend). Maybe a suit of armour moves on its own and refuses to be taken apart. Maybe you swear you hear one of your puppets whispering in the dead of night. Maybe an alchemical potion you brewed has had the opposite effect it was supposed to. Is it a glitch, a haunting, or has it been infected by strange magic? 

Draw or write about your character trying to deal with a malfunctioning invention.

Rewards:

100 fairy gold

10 crystals

Mending Elixir

Arcane Spark

Eureka!

⚠️Character must be level 8 to complete this mission!⚠️

After years of honing your craft, it’s time to create your magnum opus. This is the moment for you to push the limits of your skill and imagination. Design, invent, or create something truly extraordinary - a set of enchanted armour, a powerful weapon, the ultimate puppet to bring to life, a magnificent firework display, or even a battle bot that could change the tide of a battle. The possibilities are endless, but so is the potential for greatness. Choose your creation wisely. This will define your legacy as an artificer.
