Kentimane Awakens • Odyssey of the Dragonlords

If either Sydon or Lutheria has been killed, then Kentimane (appendix B) of the Hundred Hands awakens to wreak vengeance upon the city. This battle should be incredibly difficult and may result in deaths among the heroes.

If you want to be generous, you can let your heroes have a short rest before this battle begins to allow a limited time for recovery. The heroes will need to utilize the full power of both the dragons and the colossus, if possible. Kentimane specifically targets the heroes, which means that the heroes may choose to lure him away from the city and fight him at sea.

Sacrifice of the Five Gods#

If it seems like the city might be completely destroyed, then Vallus or Kyrah will sacrifice themselves to drive the titan back. If it seems like one of the heroes might be killed, then Volkan or Pythor will intervene at the last moment and intercept the killing blow, dying in the process.

In the aftermath of the battle, the city falls into an unnatural silence. It seems for a moment that the danger has passed. But then, the earth starts shaking. The effect is subtle at first: pebbles clattering on the pavement. The tremors continue every few seconds and slowly build into bone-rattling earthquakes—the echoes of gigantic footsteps. Suddenly, four tremendous arms emerge from behind Mount Volkan and grasp the summit, dragging behind them a gargantuan form. It’s Kentimane, the Hundred Handed Titan! Kentimane roars and assaults the city with brute force. The ancient titan is over 100 feet tall and every bit as terrifying as described in legends. Massive arms erupt from the ground, opening a path of death and destruction. Dozens of arms and small heads protrude from his body, hideous echoes of primordial chaos. He lumbers forward—directly toward you.

Defeating Kentimane#

Whatever happens, the result of this encounter should have an element of tragedy. Use the Kentimane’s Collateral Damage table to describe the collateral damage suffered during each round of the battle. The dragons will be deeply dismayed by the damage inflicted by Kentimane, and once the death toll reaches into the thousands, they may even become too distracted to fight.

Kentimane fights to the bitter end. He will not rest until all the heroes are dead, and he will continue to fight regardless of the damage that he suffers. If the party manages to defeat him, then you may choose to have him melt back into the earth, where he can regenerate and reappear after 1,000 years have passed. Alternatively, you may choose to have him disintegrate into cosmic dust, never to rise again.

Treasure#

Buried within Kentimane’s body is a large Orb of Star Metal from a meteorite that fell to the earth at the dawn of time. This star metal has unique properties. If Volkan still lives, then he can use this orb to craft almost any legendary magic weapon or armor at the Mithral Forge (see appendix C, The Great Labors). The crafting process takes 1 year.
