- Three tiled pools with different temperatures and colors
- A domed steam chamber filled with muffled echoes
- Bronze lockers bearing hundreds of scratched names
- A taciturn caretaker who claims to own the baths
- Water weirds sleeping beneath the deepest pool
- The dry central pool conceals a stairway to an older underground district
- Speaking a remembered secret into the steam reveals a brief vision of whoever last spoke there
- A silver signet ring sealed inside a locker
- Mineral pearls worth 75 gp each, found in the warmest pool
Once a civic bathhouse, the complex now draws travelers seeking healing, privacy, or forbidden meetings; its enchanted springs react unpredictably to strong emotions.
The caretaker offers the characters free passage if they retrieve a name that vanished from the bronze lockers overnight.
Warm mist drifts through a mosaic hall where empty pools glimmer beneath cracked blue tiles. Beneath the mineral scent, you hear faint splashing from rooms that appear completely dry.
GM Notes
- The baths are neutral ground, but rival visitors may arrive at any time.
- Strong emotions can awaken a water weird or trigger a prophetic echo.
- The hidden stairway may lead to smugglers, ancient ruins, or a sealed water shrine.
