Bugstiary Adventure Seeds: Void Wasp and Giant Wasp

At last the final two adventure seed entries for The Bugstiary and a very silly weapon.

Previous: Swarms

Void Wasp (p. 44)

The Last Voyage of Ragnar Amlethson Ragnar died with his secrets, and that would have been the end of it, except that he had once made a very weird deal. The delvers find they need some of Ragnar's secrets and seem to hit a dead end when they find out he sailed off never to return, until they learn that he once traded a copy of his mind to the void wasps. Now the heroes only need to find these creatures and make their own deal.

Giant Wasp (p. 46-47)

Wasp Juice Sigurvin Dalmannsson the artificer has a new invention but he's missing one critical ingredient: wasp ichor. The delvers are hired to collect a truly large amount of the stuff, which requires them to collect giant wasp corpses - the bigger the better.  He wants at least 50 big wasps (each huge wasp counts as two and each humongous specimen as five) and he's paying per wasp. If they succeed they'll also get a free prototype: a pump operated sprayer that soaks targets in wasp pheromones that attract and aggravate wasps (including both wasp swarms and all three sizes of giant wasps). 

LIQUID PROJECTOR (Sprayer) (DX-4, or other Liquid Projector at -4)

Weapon	Damage	Acc	Range	Weight	RoF	Shots	ST	Bulk	Rcl	Cost
Ichor-sprayer	See Kill Signal p. 46	-	6	15	Jet	4(30i)	10†	-6	-	$400

This must be used two-handed – one hand aims it, while the other operates the pump mechanism. The jet can be dodged or blocked, but a successful block soaks the shield (which still attracts wasps but can be discarded). The reservoir contains four pints of refined wasp ichor. The reservoir has DR 4 and 20 HP, if it takes 11 points of injury or more it starts leaking (attracting wasps). If it becomes disabled the wielder and everything within one yard becomes soaked. 

Sigurvin can make more ichor from two big wasps (or one huge wasp; a humongous wasp is good for all four pints) and $50 per pint. Delvers can make it themselves with a successful Alchemy roll (normal equipment modifiers apply) in town for free if they provide the wasps.
