Plot summary
editEarthshaker! is an adventure scenario in which the player characters try to maintain rule over a dukedom, and must stop organized groups from taking control of a gigantic mechanical humanoid from inside of it.[1]
The player characters are charged with the responsibility of stewardship over the barony of Vyolstagrad while the baron must attend the king's court. The matters are already difficult with internal and external problems, but then a strange carnival appears with a hugely tremendous exhibition: A colossal humanoid machine of iron, called the Earthshaker. While the machine itself poses no threat, a band of unscrupulous villains seek to attain control over this iron titan, and only the player characters stand in their way.
