# [[Burnock Mill]] Burnock Mill is an abandoned mill north of [[Kaagunud]]. It was the base of operations of [[Baron Uthrak]] and his gang. The top floor has a magical millstone that grinds down items into a magical powder that can then be restored by adding water. The records in the [[Brine Rapids]]' [[Imperial House]] archive show that the mill was co-owned by [[Baron Johnas Uthrak de Diamantine]] and [[Gunter Weiss]]. ## Campaign Appearances * [[Session 19 - Kaagunud]]: The party learns of group soldiers extorting a toll on a bridge next to an abandoned mill. [[Drakus Thunderheart|Drakus]] finds it odd and proposes to investigate, imagining it could also be where [[Dame Carlota Sandragon|DCS]] went to when she was in [[Kaagunud]]. * [[Session 20 - The Speaker]]: The party reaches the mill after some trouble with the law. * [[Session 21 - Burnock Mill]]: The party encounters [[Baron Uthrak]] and his gang. They are defeated and [[Tryk]] is captured. * [[Session 24 - Harrowing Journey]]: In an attempt to locate [[Tryk]], the party looks for the mill's documentation in the [[Brine Rapids]]' [[Imperial House]] archive. %% #UpdateLocationTree%% ## Location Tree >[!place] [[Places/Political Territories/Barony of Brine Rapids.md|Barony of Brine Rapids]] (⚜ Barony) >>[!place] [[Places/Natural Features/Moon Lake.md|Moon Lake]] (🌅 Body of Water) > >>[!place] [[Places/Natural Features/Goldwood River.md|Goldwood River]] (🌅 Body of Water) > >>[!place] YOU ARE HERE [[Places/Buildings/Burnock Mill.md|Burnock Mill]] (🏠 Building) > >>[!place] [[Places/Natural Features/Goldwood Forest.md|Goldwood Forest]] (🌳 Forest) > >>[!place] [[Places/Buildings/Castle Ember.md|Castle Ember]] (🏰 Fortification) > >>[!place] [[Places/Natural Features/Salt Hills.md|Salt Hills]] (⛰ Mountain Range) > >>[!place] [[Places/Natural Features/Roc's Peak.md|Roc's Peak]] (📍 Point of Interest) > >>[!place] [[Places/Settlements/Ungwêmár.md|Ungwêmár]] (📍 Ruins) > >>[!place] [[Places/Settlements/Abaçaí-Mirim.md|Abaçaí-Mirim]] (🏙 Settlement) > >>[!place]- [[Places/Settlements/Brine Rapids.md|Brine Rapids]] (🏙 Settlement) >>>[!place] [[Places/Buildings/Brine Rapids/Flooded Chapel.md|Flooded Chapel]] (🏛 Dungeon) >> >>>[!place] [[Places/Buildings/Brine Rapids/The Wise Rat.md|The Wise Rat]] (🍺 Tavern or Inn) >> > >>[!place]- [[Places/Settlements/Kaagunud.md|Kaagunud]] (🏙 Settlement) >>>[!place] [[Places/Buildings/Kaagunud/The Drunken Rattlesnake.md|The Drunken Rattlesnake]] (🍺 Tavern or Inn) >> >>>[!place] [[Places/Buildings/Kaagunud/The Escape Tunnel.md|The Escape Tunnel]] (🍺 Tavern or Inn) >> > >>[!place]- [[Places/Settlements/Strix's Nest.md|Strix's Nest]] (🏙 Settlement) >>>[!place] [[Places/Buildings/Beak and Feather.md|Beak and Feather]] (🍺 Tavern or Inn) >> %%END%% ## Adventure Module >[!Caption|right lp] >![[_BurnockMillCrane.png|medium]] >The destroyed Lego crane, millstone and watermill during combat in [[Session 21 - Burnock Mill|Session 21]] Burnock Mill is originally from [Where Evil Lives: The MCDM Book of Boss Battles](https://shop.mcdmproductions.com/collections/where-evil-lives-the-mcdm-book-of-boss-battles?srsltid=AfmBOoo37vwvHtazrvF7WQgtXn4xDAQ72aW03xKlGNILnZsha-E-aihO) and it highlights humans as the primary villains of the adventure. The adventure was kept as close to the original as possible, including the name of the main villain ([[Baron Uthrak]]) that got turned into a family name from the [[Reign of Terror]]. I ended up building the miniature scatter terrain out of Lego because I wanted the crane featured in the adventure to be somewhat interactive, then I figured out I could use the gears and chain pieces as part of the combat encounters. It came in hand when I could disassemble the crane as it got destroyed in combat!
