STILLPOINT — The Book of Delves

How to run this campaignUsing the Book of Delves

The five delves here form one rising arc, but each stands alone — drop any into your own Tableau, or run them in order to carry a party from their first frozen ruin to the decision that ends, restarts, or seals the world. They begin where the starter adventure "Under the Standing Wave" (Tickwarden's Guide, Ch.9) leaves off.

The Long Road

The Campaign at a Glance

Run in sequence, the five delves spiral inward toward the heart of the mystery. Each can foreshadow the next. The campaign is built to let you choose which of the three secret truths (Tickwarden's Guide, Ch.2) is real — and the final delve pays off whichever you picked.

The Five Delves
#	Delve	Levels	Where	What it's about
I	The Salt Road	1–2	The Lurchlands	A caravan lost; the party learns to cross the frozen wilds, and meets the Saltmen.
II	The Feast That Never Ends	2–4	A frozen manor	A grand hall paused mid-poisoning; a classic Pluck-and-mystery delve, and the first whisper of the Hushed.
III	The Pleating's Heart	4–6	The Pleating	Down to the slumbering Stillborn. The first great choice about waking the world.
IV	Below the Gasp	6–8	The Gasp	Into the catastrophe-city to the Great Horologe, racing rival factions for the Key.
V	The Last Candle	8–10	The Hushed's spire	The climax: end the Stilling, seal it forever, or find a third way. The whole Tableau hangs on the choice.

Delve I · Levels 1–2

The Salt Road

A Saltman's caravan set out across the Lurchlands a fortnight ago, laden with dropglasses and salt, and never reached Candlemarch. The trade-house wants its goods; a mother wants her son, who drove the lead wagon. Out in the grey, something has been feeding. A wilderness delve that teaches the party to read Tempo, ration Quick, and run.

Hooks — d6

d6	The party is sent because…
1–2	The trade-house pays 20 Ticks for the recovered cargo — half up front.
3	Old Odd Coldmarch begs them to find his apprentice, the lead driver. (Begins the recurring bond.)
4	A rival crew, the Tickless Three, are already out there. First to the wagons keeps them.
5	A dropglass shortage grips Candlemarch; this caravan's cargo would break it.
6	A dying caravan guard staggered home with a map and one word: "hounds."

The Road — keyed waypoints

#	Waypoint	What's there
1	The Salt Gate	Candlemarch's edge. Odd sells dropglasses and warnings. Tempo TRUE.
2	The Frozen Ford	A river caught mid-flood, water standing in walls. Crossing is a FINESSE check (Standard) — or a VIGOR check to muscle across the frozen sluice. On a failed check: a loud slip (+1 Hunt-clock segment) or, on a Nat 20, a small Thaw drops a wall of water (FINESSE save or 1d6 Hurt + 1 Chill). Tempo STILL, pockets of DRAG.
3	The Weeping Statue	A lone Stilled pilgrim weeping amber tears — and those tears are a small Wellspring: a TRUE pocket where the party can rest, refill Quick, shed Hush, and (crucially) wake the rescued boy if they carry him here. The route's safety valve.
4	The First Wagon	Overturned, picked clean by a Saltwretch (Bestiary) who will trade gossip and 1d4 dropglasses — or flee. He saw "the hounds take the boy down the dry wash."
5	The Dry Wash	The Tickhound den (3 hounds at 1st level, 4–5 at 2nd). The driver-boy is here, Stilled but whole, half-buried. Killing Stillness territory: ambush is everything. (Use Guard 3* for these hounds, not 4 — a 1st-level party needs to be able to hit them; see the balance note below.)*
6	The Caravan	Four more wagons, frozen oxen, the cargo: 2d6 dropglasses, salt, a Tempo-glass, and — if you're generous — one minor Wonder. Keep it level-appropriate: the Marching Boots, Bottled Dawn, or a Salt-mantle. Never a campaign artifact (the Last Clock, a Key to the Horologe, the Heart-coal) — those belong to Delves III–V. Guarded by the rest of the pack.

Key foe Tickhound pack (Threat ×2) Wildcard Saltwretch Prize dropglasses + a Tempo-glass

Endings & consequences

The cargo home: Candlemarch's shortage breaks; the party are minor heroes, and Odd owes them a favor (Standing +1).
The boy saved (Stilled, carried to a Wellspring): Odd is theirs for life — and will open the door to Delve II.
Beaten by the Tickless Three: the rivals bank the glory and the Ticks; a debt of pride that pays off in Delve V.

Delve II · Levels 2–4

The Feast That Never Ends

High on a frozen hill stands Manor Vesselot, where the Stilling caught a great feast at its worst instant: the host's poisoning. Two hundred guests hang forever between the first cough and the fall, goblets suspended, wine a red curtain in the air. The manor is a treasure-house — and a riddle. A dungeon of frozen opulence, built for Pickers and for those who ask the right questions of the dead.

Hooks — d6

d6	Why the party climbs to the manor…
1–2	A collector pays richly for the host's fabled Unwinding Watch (a Wonder), said to be in the manor.
3	The host's Stilled daughter could name her father's poisoner — if woken at a Wellspring.
4	A Hushed preacher claims the feast is "blessedly at peace" and is leading pilgrims to seal it forever. Stop them, or help.
5	The manor's cellars hold dropglasses by the hundred — a fortune, if the hall doesn't wake.
6	Odd Coldmarch fences a map to the manor — and warns that the Tickless Three bought one too.

The Poison Clock (8 segments)

The feast is frozen one breath before catastrophe. Every greedy or failed Pluck, loud Working, or Nat 20 fills a segment. At 4, the nearest guests twitch (DRAG). At 6, the hall begins to Thaw in waves — guests resume dying, screaming, collapsing (RUSH); the poisoned wine completes its work. At 8, the full feast wakes into a stampede of two hundred panicking, dying nobles — a deathtrap.

Plucking here: use the normal Picker rules (Player's Guide, Ch.5). Loose jewels and plate are a standard lift; anything held or worn on a guest is −3 (not an extra −2 — the crowding is already baked into "held/worn"); greed still compounds −2 per extra Pluck in the room. A Pluck that Thaws here doesn't just stir one guest — it fills 2 segments of the Poison Clock as the wave of waking spreads.

Manor Vesselot — keyed rooms

#	Room	What's there
1	The Frozen Gate	A doorman paused mid-bow. His ring of keys is a clean Pluck — or a loud one if you snap his finger.
2	The Great Hall	The feast itself: 200 guests, jewels and plate everywhere (Frozen Loot ×6). The richest, greediest Plucking in the campaign — and the fastest way to fill the clock.
3	The Musicians' Gallery	A frozen quartet; their instruments are worth Ticks. An Echo-wraith of the singer endlessly mouths one word — the poisoner's name — to any who'll read her lips.
4	The Kitchens	The source: a cook frozen pouring the poison. A stilljar here holds the antidote-instant. Lurching (1d4) nest in the cold larder.
5	The Host's Study	The Unwinding Watch (Wonder) on a chain around the dying host's neck — a held, worn Pluck (−3, and he is mid-fall). His letters reveal the Hushed paid for the poison.
6	The Ice-Cellar	Hundreds of dropglasses; a TRUE-Tempo pocket where a Wellspring seeps. A pilgrim band of the Hushed are here, "tending the peace," and will parley or fight.

Key foe Lurching nest · the Hushed Mystery who poisoned the host? Prize the Unwinding Watch

The solution (for the Tickwarden)

The word the singer mouths is "Merrow." Steward Merrow — the host's trusted right hand, frozen standing calmly at the host's shoulder while everyone else panics — poisoned the wine. He was a secret convert to the Hushed, who paid and persuaded him that stilling the manor at the height of its joy was a mercy, a way to preserve it forever. The cook in the Kitchens is innocent: Merrow handed her the doctored wine; she is frozen pouring it in good faith, and the framing is deliberate. The three clues converge — the singer names Merrow, the cook is the unwitting hand, and the host's letters reveal the Hushed paid. Reward piecing it together with bonus Grains, and let the party confront Merrow's calm, smiling Still figure however they wish.

Endings & consequences

The Watch recovered, the hall left sleeping: a clean, rich score; the poisoner's identity (the Hushed) becomes the campaign's first real thread.
The daughter woken & the truth told: she becomes an ally who hates the Hushed — useful muscle for Delve V.
The hall thawed: two hundred dead, the manor a tomb, a Regulator now hunting the party (great ★ pressure going forward).
Sided with the Hushed: the party gains safe passage and an unsettling patron — and a hard look in the mirror.

Delve III · Levels 4–6

The Pleating's Heart

Beneath the frozen avalanche of the Pleating, something vast is dreaming. Its slow amber heartbeat can be felt through the stone, and where it beats, Wellsprings flow. The Wound-Keepers want to reach it; the Hushed want it left to sleep. The party must descend through a mountain caught mid-collapse to stand before the Stillborn itself — and decide what to do with the heart of the world. An expedition delve and the campaign's first great moral fork.

Hooks — d6

d6	What draws the party under the mountain…
1–2	The Wound-Keepers hire the party to guide their expedition to the heart (and protect their secrets).
3	Wellsprings across the Tableau are drying; the cause lies under the Pleating.
4	A dying Horologist's last map shows a "Heart-coal" — a Wonder — within the titan's chest.
5	The Hushed beg the party to stop the Wound-Keepers from "murdering the dreamer."
6	The titan's heartbeat has begun to quicken. Someone must learn why before it wakes.

The Avalanche Clock (8 segments) + the Heartbeat

The Pleating is a frozen landslide; loud acts and Thaws threaten to finish the slide. Fill a segment per watch spent climbing, per loud Working, or per Nat 20 — not per failed skill roll (climbing is dangerous enough without the clock lurching every time someone slips). At 4, stones shift (DRAG; a one-time falling-rock hazard: Standard FINESSE save or 2d6 Hurt). At 6, the slide moves in patches (RUSH). At 8, the avalanche completes and buries the lower passages.

Separately, track the Heartbeat (a 4-clock). It fills when the party drills, blasts, or strikes the titan or its chamber (the Wound-Keepers' drill fills it 1 per watch they work — sabotaging the drill stops that, and removing it lowers the Heartbeat by 1). If the Heartbeat fills, the Stillborn stirs — and the campaign changes forever (see Delve V).

Under the Pleating — keyed depths

#	Depth	What's there
1	The Suspended Slide	Billions of tons of rock hanging overhead. Cross with three group checks, and let players pick the approach: FINESSE to thread the gaps, VIGOR to haul on ropes, or WITS to read a safe route (so the climb never punishes one Calling). A failed individual check costs 1 Quick or 1d6 Hurt (their choice); the clock only ticks per watch, not per slip.
2	The Frozen Camp	A prior expedition, Stilled mid-flight, their gear and a Wellspring-flask intact. What were they fleeing?
3	The Singing Fissure	A TUMULT zone (roll the Tumult table each round). The titan's dreams leak out as dream-wraiths — figures who never lived, so they can't be "laid to rest" like true Echo-wraiths. Instead, disbelieve them: a WITS or WILL save (vs their TN 11) lets a character see through and walk past one untouched; on a fail, the dream's repeated blow lands (d8 Chill). They cannot leave the fissure.
4	The Wellspring Vault	The source of half the Tableau's live time, tended by a Wellspring Guardian (stats in Appendix D) who guards the way to the heart. The Gate: it asks why the party has come and weighs the answer — a WILL save (Standard) made at advantage if a player speaks a true, specific reason, at disadvantage if they lie. Pass: it stands aside and grants one bath (full Quick, all Hush cleared) and lets them fill a flask. Fail: it turns them back to find the harder side-route (lose a watch, +1 Avalanche segment) — it does not fight unless attacked.
5	The Rival Camp	The Wound-Keepers (or Hushed, whoever you didn't hook with) drill toward the heart — a leader and 1d4+2 agents (stats in Appendix D); their drill fills the Heartbeat 1/watch. Parley (reaction roll, modified by Standing), sabotage (a Pluck or WITS check to wreck the drill — stops the Heartbeat, lowers it 1), or battle.
6	The Heart-Chamber	The Stillborn's open chest and its mountain-sized amber heart. Here the choice is made — and each option has a cost (see The Choice, below).

Boss/place the Stillborn (campaign Threat) Faction clash Wound-Keepers vs Hushed Wonder Heart-coal of the Stillborn

Endings & consequences

Soothed: Wellsprings flow freely (cheaper dropglasses campaign-wide), but the dreamer sinks deeper — the world is harder than ever to wake. The Hushed rejoice.
Heart-coal taken: a mighty Wonder, but Wellsprings begin to fail; the Quick grow desperate, and the Wound-Keepers turn their eyes to the Gasp (Delve IV).
Woken: the Stillborn stirs. If the Held Breath is your truth, the endgame is now a race against the titan's waking. The boldest, most dangerous outcome.

Delve IV · Levels 6–8

Below the Gasp

The Gasp — the capital frozen at the instant of its catastrophe, a wall of white fire and a shockwave hung forever over toppling towers. Beneath it lies the Great Horologe, the city-sized machine that kept the world's time, its mainspring snapped. Whoever reaches its core and finds the Key can mend time — or break it. Everyone is hunting that Key. A high-stakes dungeon crawl through a TUMULT-locked deathscape, against rivals and Regulators.

Hooks — d6

d6	Why brave the Gasp…
1–2	The Wound-Keepers will pay a kingdom in Ticks for the Key to the Horologe.
3	The Hushed must be stopped from reaching the Horologe first and welding time shut.
4	The drying Wellsprings (Delve III) leave the Horologe the only hope; the party goes from need.
5	The Tickless Three already went in. They have not come out. Their map remains.
6	A Regulator delivered a frozen warning to Candlemarch — the Horologe is "to remain undisturbed." Naturally.

The Catastrophe Clock (8 segments, starts at 2) — and the Regulators

The Gasp is frozen one instant from annihilation. Its Tempo is TUMULT: each round in the open, roll the Tumult table (Player's Guide, Ch.9). Fill the clock on every Thaw, loud Working, or Nat 20. Waking the fire or working the Mainspring fills 2 — but simply picking up the Key does not (so the party can reach the payoff Vault, Works 6, and still escape). At 6, the shockwave moves (RUSH, lethal). At 8, the catastrophe completes across a district — anything there is gone.

Regulators (stats below) patrol the Horologe. "Disturb" has a bright line: a Regulator wakes only on a Thaw inside the Gear-Cathedral, on working the Mainspring, or on a Nat 20 in its presence — not on a merely failed stealth roll. Cause none of those and it ignores you. They are the delve's wall: flee or evade, do not brawl — one is a fair, deadly fight for a L7 party; two at once is a likely TPK (Hard mode only).

Regulator (reprinted here so you needn't flip books)

Clockwork enforcer · keeper of the undisturbed silence

Guard 6Grit 26 (5 HD)AV 14Save TN 13Morale 12Threat ×5

Pendulum-blade: d10 Hurt; on a hit, target saves (FINESSE) or is Pinned 1 round.

Measured: never rolls initiative — always acts on Stutter count 4. You can predict it exactly.

Sworn to stillness: attacks only those who have disturbed the freeze (see the bright line above). Give it no reason and it will not stir.

The Horologe — keyed works

#	Works	What's there
1	The Burning Boulevard	The frozen firestorm. A thawing patch makes a corridor of moving flame — time your crossing or burn.
2	The Toppling Spire	A tower frozen mid-fall is the only way down to the works; climbing inside a collapsing building, against the clock.
3	The Gear-Cathedral	The Horologe proper: vast frozen gears and stopped pendulums. Moving a wrong part = a WITS save (vs TN 12); on a fail, a gear lurches alive — fill 1 clock segment and roll the d12 Backlash table. Crossing unseen uses group stealth: only the Picker (or best-FINESSE PC) rolls, leading the party; armored PCs give them −2. A Regulator stands sentinel (stats above) — failing stealth does not wake it, only the bright-line triggers do.
4	The Tickless Three	The rival crew (stats in Appendix D): two are Stilled at the threshold, but their leader Quen is still Quick and racing you for the Key — a live rival to outpace, parley with, fight, or rescue the others alongside. Quen clutches half a map.
5	The Mainspring	The snapped heart of the machine, and the frozen hand of the saboteur still on the lever (friend or foe to your truth). The Key is here — taking it is safe, but working the lever (to mend or break time on the spot) fills 2 clock segments and wakes any Regulator.
6	The Saboteur's Vault	The why of the Stilling, in letters and a final stilljar — the campaign's biggest lore payoff and treasure. The Wonder here is the Key to the Horologe or the Last Clock (Delve V's artifacts). Reachable for a party that takes the Key and keeps moving rather than working the lever.

Wall Regulators (Threat ×5) Race vs Wound-Keepers / Hushed Prize the Key to the Horologe

Endings & consequences

The Key won: the party hold the means to restart time. Every faction will now court or hunt them. This sets the stage for the finale.
The Key lost to a rival: Delve V becomes a desperate bid to take it back before it is used.
The Horologe roused: if the Cut Mainspring is your truth, the machine's waking begins the countdown the whole campaign has been building toward.

Delve V · Levels 8–10 · Finale

The Last Candle

It comes to this. Atop the Hushed's high spire burns the Last Clock — the final candle of the world, its wax almost gone. When it guts out, the Hushed believe, the Stilling will become eternal and holy; the Wound-Keepers believe the Key can relight it and restart time; and the Wellspring Guardians know a truth older than both. The party's choices across four delves decide who stands beside them now, and the last decision is theirs alone. The campaign's climax — a siege, a confrontation, and a choice that ends the world, or saves it, or changes what those words mean.

Who stands with you — tally your campaign

If, across the campaign, you…	Effect at the spire
Kept faith with Odd and the Saltmen	Start the Guttering Clock at 0 instead of the usual 1 (they smuggle you in).
Saved the host's daughter (Delve II)	Her revolt occupies the Hushed: the Hierophant arrives one round late, and her rebels remove the pilgrim-crowd (skip Stage 1).
Spared / saved the Tickless Three	They join the fight: +1 ally combatant (use a Tickless Three stat line, Appendix D) who can soak the bosses' extra attacks.
Earned a Guardian's regard / answered true (Delve III)	+2 to every roll made to enact your chosen ending (the Wellsprings lend their light).
Wronged a faction	That faction's champion fights for the Hushed: add a second boss (Appendix D).
Woke the Stillborn (Delve III)	The titan is rising too: the Guttering Clock fills +2 per round, not +1. The fastest, most desperate finale.

The Spire — keyed ascent

#	Stage	What's there
1	The Hushed Gate	A freezing pilgrim-crowd rings the spire (Hushed Pilgrims, Appendix D). Pass by persuasion (a WILL contest), stealth, or force. Lingering is deadly: each round here, gain 1 Chill from the pressing silence. (Skipped if the daughter's revolt cleared them.)
2	The Stair of Saints	The Hushed's Stilled "saints" line the climb, exuding a Hush-aura: a WILL save to ascend unshaken (fail = 1 Hush). One saint is the campaign's recurring villain — Steward Merrow, or the Gasp's saboteur — a reckoning the party may settle (waking them for answers risks a fight).
3	The Whispering Vault	A Wellspring Guardian waits with the campaign's deepest truth and one last question: "Now that you can choose — should the world wake?" Answer honestly and it blesses the party: full Quick, all Hush cleared, full Grit before the climax. (This is the state the party enters the final fight in.)
4	The Candle-Crown	The spire's peak; the Last Clock burns and the Guttering Clock starts. The Hierophant (Hushed leader) and, if you wronged a faction, the Champion converge to stop you — full stat blocks in Appendix D. Fight through them while you enact The Last Choice.

The Last Choice — make it a race, not a speech

The endings are not narration — they are actions the party takes while the bosses try to stop them and the Guttering Clock burns down. Enacting an ending takes a 4-segment Resolve clock the party fills with their actions; if the Guttering Clock fills first, the candle guts out and the Stilling seals by default. The choice is whichever Resolve clock they fill first — so the climax is the choice, contested round by round.

However it ends, end on the party. The last image of STILLPOINT should not be the world's fate, but four cold, tired, extraordinary people deciding — together — what to do with the only moving time that is left. — a closing note for the Tickwarden
