Introduction

Forge of the Divine Machine is a 5th edition hunt optimised for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 7, 12, or 17. Characters who complete this hunt should earn enough experience to progress one-third of the way to 8th level, one-half of the way to 13th level, or two-thirds of the way to 18th level. The adventurers must defeat a corrupted arcanificial intelligence (AI) to end the procession of bizarre creations it is unleashing across the planes. This hunt is the culmination of the Motes of the Divine story arc and can also be run as a one-shot.

Bizarre changes to a once-tranquil mountainscape lead the party to a portal to the Clockwork Arcadia, a plane of pure, mechanical order. Accompanied by an emissary of the Arcadia, the party must collect clues to help them decipher the nature of their foe and prepare for the battle ahead. Once through the portal, they combat the creations of a powerful AI, before fighting the AI itself when it takes control of the emissary’s body. Preparation for an extended fight as well as the ability to deal force damage will be advantageous in this dramatic combat encounter.

This adventure is Part 5 of a 5 part story arc with all parts able to be played individually. These hunts are connected to Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting by the awesome folks over at Loot Tavern! Each hunt is designed to be played across 3 different levels of play, and include new mythic monsters, spells, and magic items!

NOTE: This hunt has been edited down to include everything needed to play at 7th level. To get the full adventure with all the monster stat blocks, spells, and magic items, head over to Loot Tavern and become a patron!
