Advent of Dungeons 2024: Day 16 – CAPTAIN’S ORDERS

The Advent of Dungeons continues! Each day has a new prompt for creating GM content. I have primarily been doing adventures since that’s where I face the most writer’s block, but I have mixed in a few specific encounters and items and such.

My Day 16 Content

Today’s prompt is CAPTAIN’S ORDERS. I think I’m going to go with a relatively simple encounter.

This is a puzzle for the party with an open-ended solution.

The party is in a dungeon and encounters a golem blocking a doorway that leads to their final objective. The golem has received the instruction: “Let no one pass through this doorway.”

The golem will follow that instruction precisely and is nigh indestructible. Otherwise, it is friendly and enjoys learning about the party.

Ideally, the party comes up with a clever interpretation and technicality in the instructions to get through. If they get really stumped, the golem may offer them friendly suggestions.

So what’s Day 17?

Tomorrow’s prompt is CLAWS.
