Mini-Dungeon #300 Spenser von Neumann’s Perilous Pataphysical Planar Process

A Planar Adventure Among Fractured Floating Isles

This planar adventure sends 4–5 characters of levels 13–14 into a dangerous meeting point of the Elemental Planes. In Spenser von Neumann’s Perilous Pataphysical Planar Process, a mage has found unusual ways to draw power from that junction. Now the creatures who guard its energy have struck back.

Von Neumann escaped an attack by four powerful genies, but his equipment remains beyond the portal. His assistant asks the party to recover the devices and discover what happened. Meanwhile, the machinery continues to produce mephits across the floating islands.

Face Four Genies and Their Elemental Allies

The heroes encounter a marid, an efreeti, a dao, and a djinn. Although the genies share an order to stop the mage, they still resent one another. The party can exploit those rivalries, attempt careful flattery, or face a difficult fight against several elemental powers.

Each island presents another part of the experiment. Active devices combine elemental energies, and a strange locus watches over the nexus. In addition, a word puzzle controls the return portal. The group must balance its search for the missing equipment with the need to find a way home.

Bring the Factorium Energia to Your Campaign

Begin this planar adventure when the characters visit the Factorium Energia to seek the mage’s services. His assistant can explain the immediate problem and show them the portal. This opening gives experienced heroes a clear reason to enter an unfamiliar environment.

The adventure provides four pages of encounters and new magic items, plus a cover. It includes rival genies, summoned creatures, and equipment with effects the GM can track during play. Therefore, review the conjoining cones before the session and prepare for a growing number of mephits.
