The Excalligator
HD 5 HP 40 DEF 16 ATK 14(claw/claw 1d6, bite 1d10) MOV 3x standard MOR 10 SAV 10
Behold the Excalligator! Scales like plate, claws like swords! Capable of outrunning a man at a full sprint, and too stupid to die even when stabbed through the brain with a magic blade!
It resides in the deepest swamps of the blighted kingdom of Flor'idah, where a previous ruler of the land once fought it and fell to its mighty jaws. With his final blow, he cleaved into the beast's head, and though it did not avail him, it now provides you an opportunity.
Defeat the Excalligator, and you will not only gain the magical weapon of past rulers, but the surest claim to the throne of Flor'idah
Loot
One of the following magic weapons is embedded in the skull of the Excalligator. Is it...
The Sword of Chang
A golden saber, held last by an ancient Flor'idahn ruler whose name only survives as a fragmentary title, 'The Warlike Red One.' Whether this was a translation of his name or a description of personality is unclear. Yet the blade is said to be much older, having been forged in the deep past by a mystic warrior, a cultural hero named Chang. Regardless, it is a potent weapon, yet all of its holders seem to meet terrible ends...
+1 magic sword, +5 to all Saves and -5 to Death and Dismemberment rolls while held.
If it is ever lost, -10 to all Saves and +10 to Death and Dismemberment rolls until you can regain it.

The Pen Dragon
Ornately carved rapier, the hilt and crossguard shaped like a fire-breathing dragon. The hilt can be detached and used as a fountain pen.
+0 magic sword. Messages written with the pen are inspired, capable of inciting fiery passion or delivering sick burns.
Dirk of Crocodile Slaying
This wavy, dark-metaled dagger originated in the Veins, where it was crafted for the assassination of Fungal Ambassodiles. Somehow, it ended up on the surface, and was used in a failed attempt to slay the great beast.
+5 magic dagger vs crocodiles. Not alligators. Just crocodiles. Halts health regeneration for 1 hour.
The Blade of Friendship
A weapon of fine make and subtle magic, created to unite a band of unlikely heroes in a common purpose. Backfired spectacularly, if the fact that the unlikely heroes all died horribly is any indication.
+[number of PCs] magic sword. Maintains its power only as long as nobody fights over its possession.
Blood-Iron Blade
Forged by a vampire, using iron from the blood of 365 people, sacrificed over the course of a year. Poorly made and very brittle, but looks really cool and has a super evil aura.
+0 magic sword. If you roll max damage with it, it breaks instead.
The Sword of Flor'idah
An intelligent longsword, its crossguard carved with sun symbols. In times of crisis, gives sound strategic advice, and is capable of summoning sunlight. Any other time, suggests hare-brained schemes and engages in recreational arson.
+3 magic sword, can summon sunlight at will, damaging to vampires. Starts with Ego 1. Each day the sword's wielder does not engage in unnecessary arson, it rises by one. Make a roll against the wielder's Wisdom score every night. If they fail, the wielder is possessed and will search for the nearest tavern (or other large, flammable structure) and burn it down.
