Broken Magic Items (and a Decanter of Endless Water)
I just read a post by someone asking about designing a dungeon where the final objective was a Decanter of Endless Water and it reminded me of (what I thought was) an interesting adventure that I ran years ago relating to one. I was running in my own campaign world and circumstances of the world's history made a broken or somehow defective magic item not terribly uncommon. I figured a defective Decanter of Endless Water could be really fun and should present some thought provoking challenges for the players.
First I had to figure out how the decanter worked when working correctly. I figured (or read, it has been years) that it got the water from the Elemental Plane of Water and worked by having a portal there. The magic turned the portal on and off and also regulated the flow. I also made an assumption (before I owned the Manual of the Planes and it stated that the pressure on the plane was that of a few feet under water) that the effective pressure in the plane would be equivalent to a few miles depth in the ocean. The average ocean depth is in the 2-2 1/2 mile ballpark, so I figured it at around 2 miles. For every 33 feet down under water, the pressure increases by 1 atmosphere (14.5 psi). At two miles depth, the water pressure is around 320 atmospheres (4640 psi). In technical terms, I thought this was "a lot".
Next I had to figure out how it was broken. I decided that if the bottom of the decanter contained the portal, and the magic controlled on/off and the rate of flow were broken, it would just be wide open, running unregulated. The stopper and command words were long gone. I had actually figured the stopper would be somewhere way downstream. I had faith that a clever group of PC's could probably track the stopper magically if they really wanted to. I had also planned that this decanter had been running uncontrolled for an extended period of time (I had assumed in the 100 year range +/- a little).
The original scenario I had envisioned for the initial uncorking event was a party of much earlier explorers/adventurers had needed to use their decanter for some reason, and the first time they used it ended up being their last. I really tried to figure out a way to have some crushed bones embedded under where the decanter had embedded itself into the rock wall of the cave but I couldn't see anything like that being intact enough to be identifiable.
The party, while exploring looking for something completely different found a mid-size river in an uninhabited valley that was fed by a waterfall emerging from some caves on a mountain-side with no other obvious source of water entering the caves. They went to explore because that's how players roll.
The portal to the Elemental Plane of Water aspect allowed me to include some smaller denizens of that plane (that could realistically survive a trip through a 5-inch diameter opening) while being able to justify not having some of the larger ones running around as well. I figured only the small ones would get caught by the suction on the other end and not be able to escape being pulled in.
The players ended up not being able to get to the decanter and remove it on the initial adventure. They did end up coming back a few years of game time later when they had leveled up some and get it. They wanted to create a lake for a village and one of the players remembered about it and they hatched a scheme to go get it. I have no earthly idea why they wanted that lake for the village.
If anyone wants to try something like this in your game, make sure you understand, and try and make the players understand that this is an insanely dangerous item. I didn't break down and crunch all the numbers, but I had assumed the decanter was kind of a metal jug with a base of about 10-inches (the size of the portal at the bottom) and an opening of around 5-inches diameter. I also assumed that the metal of the jug, being magic, was pretty much immune to damage from mundane means (insane water pressure). I further assumed that the portal functioned like an opening between an area of high pressure (Elemental plane) and normal pressure (the prime material plane).
I think the uncontrolled nature of the decanter and the pressures make it too difficult to control to make it a viable weapon for the players. They might be able to figure something out (if 4-6 players can't outsmart the DM every now and then something is wrong) so you never know. When my players managed to get it corked, they briefly flirted with the idea of a decanter-powered wagon where the water blast worked kind of like a jet engine. I'm glad that one never was seriously considered by them. It would have been a lot of calculations for me. It does have a kind of Ork/Warhammer 40k vechicle feel to it though. I can see players uncorking the decanter on a battle field and having it fly around like a rocket-powered metal balloon randomly till it flew off the battlefield and caused destruction somewhere else. They might be able to find some way to control it though. If they do and it becomes a problem to your game, as it is a broken/defective magic item already, it isn't unreasonable for it to either fail spectacularly (maybe a shrapnel filled explosion that opens a small, temporary portal to the Elemental Plane of Water) or it just quits working all together. If you really wanted to be a bad person, it could only work intermittently.
If you needed to justify the huge water pressure aspect of the decanter, instead of having it pull from the Elemental Plane of Water, you could always have the portal in the decanter pull from somewhere in the deep ocean. A decanter providing very cold salt water might prove interesting. Most deep ocean water temps are around 0-3 degrees Celsius (32-37 Fahrenheit). I didn't think about it until just now, but you could also have it pull from one of the geothermal vent areas in the deep ocean. I find the idea of 400 degree Celsius (750 Fahrenheit) temperature water at very high pressure going instantly to sea-level pressures kind of interesting (the boiling point of water goes up with pressure, so you can get very high temp water at very high pressure).
I should note, I am very much a layman when it comes to physics. This might be obvious from the beginning where I carefully measured the pressure of the decanter as "a lot". It wouldn't shock me if some crazy pressure/temperature/volume from the decanter could cause the decanter to shoot out or create plasma or something. If that is the case please let me know. It would be kind of cool. Also, if it would and that is extremely disruptive to your game, you can always fall back on ". cause it's magic".
