AI Oracle Part 2

New text AI! Let’s try it on some tabletop RPG work. Bold is my prompts; I’ve snipped the polite banter out of most of the AI’s answers.

Spoiler: this is way better than the last one I tried. If I repeat the same prompt it gets a little repetitive, but still not bad.

Can you design me a D&D dungeon, two levels, populated mostly by hobgoblins but maybe with a lich at the end? It would be cool if there was a chapel in it.

Sure, I’d be happy to help you design a dungeon for your D&D game. Here’s a rough outline of a two-level dungeon that could work for what you’re looking for:

Level 1: The Chapel
This level of the dungeon is dominated by a large chapel that has been taken over by the hobgoblins who now use it as their lair. The chapel itself is filled with pews and altars that have been defaced and desecrated by the hobgoblins. The hobgoblins themselves are led by a hobgoblin warlord who has set up his throne on the chapel’s altar.

The chapel is guarded by a group of hobgoblin warriors who patrol the area and challenge any intruders. In addition to the warriors, there are also a number of hobgoblin archers stationed on the balconies and in the rafters of the chapel, ready to rain arrows down on any intruders.

Hidden among the pews and altars, the players may find a number of valuable treasures that the hobgoblins have plundered from nearby villages and travelers. They may also discover a secret door leading down to the second level of the dungeon.

Level 2: The Crypts
The second level of the dungeon is a network of crypts and burial chambers that have been taken over by the hobgoblins and used as a makeshift barracks and storage area. The hobgoblins on this level are led by a hobgoblin shaman who serves as their spiritual leader and serves as a font of powerful magic.

The crypts are filled with the graves of long-dead nobles and warriors, many of which have been disturbed and desecrated by the hobgoblins. The players may encounter a number of undead creatures on this level, including skeletons and zombies that have been animated by the hobgoblin shaman’s dark magic.

At the end of the crypts, the players may discover the hobgoblin shaman’s secret sanctum, a hidden chamber where the shaman conducts dark rituals and communes with the spirits of the dead. In this chamber, the players may find the lich that you mentioned, who has been summoned by the hobgoblin shaman and now serves as their master.

The lich is a powerful and ancient undead creature that is immune to most forms of physical damage and can unleash devastating spells upon the players. The players will need to use all of their cunning and skill to defeat the lich and put an end to its reign of terror.

Can you make me a random encounter table for that dungeon?

Sure, I’d be happy to help you create a random encounter table for your dungeon. Here’s a rough outline of what such a table might look like:

  1. Hobgoblin patrol (2-4 hobgoblin warriors)
  2. Roaming pack of goblin dogs
  3. Hobgoblin archers (2-4 hobgoblin archers)
  4. Skeleton warriors (1-2 skeletons)
  5. Zombie (1 zombie)
  6. Hobgoblin shaman (1 hobgoblin shaman)
  7. Wandering ghost
  8. Lich (1 lich)

You can use this table as-is or modify it to suit the specific needs and challenges of your game. Remember, the goal of a random encounter table is to provide the dungeon master with a quick and easy way to generate interesting encounters on the fly, so feel free to improvise and make changes as needed. Good luck and have fun!

    I feel like I might steal some of these prompts.

    • I told my instance a bit about House of Cards — just the character write-ups — then:

      Write me ten plot hooks using those characters, with each one involving two or three of the characters.

      1. Delta, Celina, and Raven team up to investigate a mysterious mirror-portal that has appeared in Rebma.
      2. Jerod, Tricksey, and Misao work together to uncover a conspiracy in the court of Tyrell.
      3. Fletcher, Hannah, and Conner must join forces to defend Amber against a surprise attack from the Moonriders.
      4. Brita, Vere, and Garrett must navigate the treacherous political waters of the Pearl Islands to secure an alliance against the Klybesians.
      5. Edan, Paige, and Raven must lead a joint military operation to retake a strategically important Shadow from the forces of Chaos.
      6. Folly, Harsh, and Rowen must work together to uncover a plot by the Dragons of Arden to invade Amber.
      7. Brennan, Ossian, and Jerod must uncover the truth about Cambina’s death and bring the culprit to justice.
      8. Conner, Brita, and Hannah must figure out a way to stop Gerard from losing his sanity and becoming a threat to Amber.
      9. Edan, Folly, and Tricksey must band together to stop a rebellion in the floating city-state of Nexon before it spreads to other realms.
      10. Raven, Vere, and Celina must work together to prevent the destruction of Rebma by a powerful enemy.

      One of these days I need to figure out how to give the underlying engine a full text corpus to learn from.
