The Wizard Rudolfo was an avid collector of glasswares. His lair is filled with glass items, most of them worthless souvenirs from his many travels. There are also treasures wrought from fine crystal. I'm going to tell you about a few of the more interesting items.
Bird with the Crystal Plumage (snagged from TotGaD)
These birds can be found abundantly, flying in and around Rudolfo's lair. They are made from crystal filled with a possibly colored liquid. Their needle-like adamentine beak can find the cracks in any armour, doing no significant damage, but injecting a dose of the liquid into the victim. Once they have successfully injected a victim, they will generally fly away. It struck, they are immediately destroyed.M:6 WS:35 I/Ag:45 A:1
The Effect of the Injected Liquid
- Healing Draught
- Immunity to Fear/Success on all Cool checks for 1 hour
- Poison: Toughness Test or die in TBx2 rounds
- Light Warpstone Solution: gain mutations, insanity points
- Acid 1d(6 or 10)+4 damage if injected. If the bird is smashed and the smasher is splashed, roll a d6/d10 for damage, damages any armour it touches.
- Cure Poison
Glass Gremlins
These living statues of glass in the shape of a horrible gremlin, filled with a clear liquid, can be found all-over Rudolpho's lair. Upon encountering interlopers they will creepily hobble after them all the while baring their sharp steel teeth and flexing their steel claws. After 5 minutes they will return to their post. They will not attack, but neither will they dodge. Any attempt to strike the gremlin will cause it to shatter. The liquid is nitroglycerine. If struck, they will explode as a shrapnel bomb.

Glass Gargoyle
A living statue of glass in an iron frame with numerous sharp edges, it gets many attacks.

The Glass Ceiling
The ceiling, floor, or wall of this room is glass. Strange and horrible creatures peer down at you, make faces, bang on the glass. There's a lot you can do with this one:
- It's just an illusion
- It's actually a mirror, with your reflections modified by an illusion
- It's actually just a view of another place/dimension. Attacking the surface will break the glass screen.
- It's real. The monsters will break the ceiling/floor and you'll all take 1d6+1/1d10+1 glass/falling damage
- It's real. The monsters now know where you are. They race-off to look for you.
- It's real. The monsters are only able to bang and howl in vain.
