Halls of Broken Time ⌛

A Temporal Nightmare for 4-6 Adventurers of Levels 4-6

“Where yesterday meets tomorrow, and both scream…”

Part I: The Temporal Threshold 🕰️

Initial Entry

Emerging from crystalline geometries, adventurers enter spaces where time itself fragments. Multiple versions of reality coexist, and probability takes physical form. The walls ripple with temporal echoes as past and future collide.

The Moment speaks across all times: “When are you? When aren’t you? Both are true…”

Detailed temporal laboratory map showing three main chambers: Probability Nexus, Temporal Core, and Paradox Chamber. Victorian scientific illustration style meets temporal horror. Multiple levels with timeline pathways, probability corridors, and moment nodes. Decorated with temporal diagrams and timeline measurement devices. Aged parchment texture with temporal annotations and causality warnings. Includes probability zones and timeline measurement scales.
A vast Victorian-era chamber where multiple timelines visibly intersect, showing ghostly versions of the same space overlapping. Floating chronometers and temporal measurement devices. Time flows like liquid light through the air. Steampunk time machines merged with probability processors. Multiple versions of the same objects existing simultaneously.
The Time Weaver in its final form, a being of pure temporal energy and causality. Multiple versions of itself existing simultaneously, surrounded by floating chronometers and reality-warping temporal effects. Victorian scientific horror meets time manipulation. Probability streams visible as golden threads of light. Multiple timeline versions visible in background.
