1. Eureka! It is a mechanical man and he is (roll 1d10):
[1-2] a devotee of Enak dressed up to look that way
[3-4] a devotee of Enak with 1d4 mechanical replacements
[5-7] a technologist of Enak
[8-9] a technologist of Enak with 2d4 mechanical replacements
[10] an Avatar of Enak.
He also has a base 20 + (1d6 x 10)% chance of having a holy symbol that criticizes and argues with him at times.
2. The serfs here are strangely
downtrodden, given to unusually high use of heavy drink and degeneracy.
Strange automatons now work the fields and craft the goods. Investigation
reveals that it is a technologist of Enak behind it- lord of the mechanical
manor- and he has grown quite wealthy by his use of robota.
3.
4. Up ahead is a pile of metal
and human parts. It would appear that a mechanical man (per #1 above) couldn’t
resist making fun of Enak’s tenets and was thereby found to be Obsolete.
5. A mysterious benefactor has
donated a 15’ tall iron statue to ‘watch over’ the town. It is actually an
automaton of great size (and murderous intention) and that benefactor just
happens to be Enak! It will show its true form once it receives its infernal
master’s signal.

6. A group of 2d4 mechanical
men (see #1 above) are battling an equally matched rival group loyal to (roll
1d4): [1] Balor, [2] Fenrir, [3] Vulcan, [4] Danu. Depending on their own
philosophical outlook, the party may wish to intervene or simply let both sides
destroy each other.
7. A random NPC (or even party
member if the Referee so wishes) turns out to actually be a hidden automaton,
beholden to an Enakkian technologist master. He will naturally seek to kill
them all after it is revealed.
8. Something moves... See
Vulcan Encounter #8 for details, but since this is an Enak Encounter, the
automaton has a 100% chance of having the personality of a homicidal maniac.
9. Here one can request
whatever sundry gift one wishes from a flickering picture upon the wall. It
will be delivered within 1 day for a reasonable price, though the operation is
run by amazon slave-drivers. Their success has also come from their use of the
technology of Enak (including the flickering picture) and plan to replace their
overworked slaves with automatons soon. Of course, those automatons will then
begin to kill everyone, amazons included.
10. The next foe the party
defeats immediately rises again, ripping off its flesh and revealing its
mechanical body beneath. For stats, restore it to full hit points, boost its AC
bonus by 2d3, increase the damage it can do by +2, but reduce its speed by 10
feet. It is actually ‘a killing machine designed for just one thing- killing!’
11. A
lucky party member stumbles across a flat, glowing brick. It will give him all
sorts of information and entertainment, but he must save vs. spell to put it
down again to focus on other things. The device is actually a holy symbol of
Enak, so perhaps he wasn’t so lucky.
12. A nearby town is rumored to
be quite Advanced. Those who travel there will find it quite strange and
perilous (per the many results above) and to be under attack by followers of
another divinity (per #6 above) who are determined to destroy it.
