Put Another Dollar In The Jukebox

There it is, up against the wall. 




There is no way out of this room so you had better press the 'Play' button and see what you get...





1 - Emergency – 999      Roll 1d6 – the higher the roll the worse the emergency  Make a saving roll at the level on your choice of WIZ, INT, LK or CHR to stave it off or the whole party are toast!
2 - 68 Guns – The Alarm              Not nice! A whole artillery company is lined up and ready to fire                                Roll 2d6: on a 1,1 roll all the guns backfire and the pc escapes; on 1,2 roll they all misfire and a pardon is granted; anything else and the execution is carried out
3 - Bela Lugosi’s Dead – Bauhaus            Bala may be dead but he’s climbing from his coffin right now!     Roll 1d6 and multiply by 10 to find the MR you must face…
4 - Sympathy For The Devil – The Rolling Stones             This devil wants worshippers, with death being the price for a failure to fawn effectively    Roll 1d6 to find the level of the CHR SR needed to placate the evil fiend
5 - Monster Mash – Bobby Pickett                         It’s a great party thanks to the Coffinbangers and the Cryptkicker 5 but you really do need to fit in!          Make a L1 SR on CHR to impress with a scary roar or a piteous moan or the monsters snack on you
