Inns, Taverns & Hotels

Inn the Mountain

The path from Myrr to Bharzul is a journey of several days, hundreds of feet below the western most peaks of the Epicouatl mountains. Despite its prevalence as a trade route between the two cities the route is hazardous and for those not used to spending long periods below ground in the pitch dark, it can be mentally exhausting.

About halfway along the path is Berun Kraghart’s Inn, dubbed by many as ‘Inn the Mountain’, a very welcome respite from the dark winding tunnels and dwindling rations. Visitors are treated to fine food and ale, regular performances and a soft bed. Those who visit at the right time of year might even get to experience the lantern fly mating rituals that light up the surrounding tunnels with dazzling displays for days on end.

Hideouts & Lairs

Medusa Lair

This temple has stood watch overlooking the ocean for hundreds of years and has served several gods and their worshippers in that time. Now however it has been abandoned, instead becoming home to an ever-growing collection of incredibly lifelike statues.

The temple is far enough from civilization that few come across it by mistake, but the caverns and inlets in the cliff face below are occasionally used by seafarers looking to avoid an incoming storm. If you find yourself in such a circumstance, do not be tempted to wander and explore the ruins above!

Into the Wilds Complete Bundle

Ruins Tactical Tiles 01

A new ‘Tactical Tiles' set of generic ruins that can be quickly laid out to create interesting tactical corridors and lines of sight. These maps can be used for a larger skirmish or battle, a sneaky infiltration where your party must avoid being seen, or provide a variety of spaces to explore.

Exterior Scene

Crossed Arms Inn

The Crossed Arms Inn is found deep in the wilderness, several days ride in any direction from the nearest town. However it is always busy, filled with weary travellers crossing the open countryside, and because of this is a great place to gather news and rumours.

The immediate terrain is a series of rock formations interspersed with sparce woodland, meaning it is relatively well hidden but has a panoramic view of the surrounding area. Several gangs of roving bandits have attempted raids in the past, but the combination of the raised platforms, battle hardened visitors and well trained staff have seen them all off handily.

Noble Characters - Part 1

Don Sebastian Solano

Don Sebastián Solano is the head of the Solano family. Having made their money from trade and with no direct connection to any political factions, the Solano’s are highly respected by the community due to their charitable endeavours. Although Sebastian himself is currently the only resident of the family's Hacienda, aside from the guards and serving staff, he regularly hosts dinners and events for the common folk so the compound is always humming with life.

Governor Ezra Astallion

Governor Ezra Astallon is a man of obscene wealth. Most assume it is old money, the kind that only exists through noble lineage and inheritance. However certain members of the upper houses whisper that his title is bought and the money ill gotten, although this tends to reek of little more than jealousy. Ezra is well favoured by the Dorran family, and was recently given the role of Governor by the new Emperor herself. Opportunities that many would kill for seem to just fall into his lap.

Lanista Lucius Lunaris

The house of Lunaris has trained some of the greatest gladiators of the past 50 years, a handful of them even becoming champions at the great colosseum. The Ludus is perched atop a steep cliff looking down on to the city below. The gladiators are constantly aware of the peril of a misstep, the bones of an unfortunate few look up at them from below. Perhaps however, it is those in the house above who should be a little more wary of what lies beneath them.

Premium 5e Adventures (Adventurer+)

Restless Harvest by Alex LeFort - 2nd to 4th Level

Farmer Kihpi Millwinger's expansion of his sunflower fields has disturbed ancient burial goods, awakening the vengeful spirit of Pidrin Reaper, one of two legendary brothers whose bones lie beneath the twin hills overlooking Millhaven Valley. Now scarecrows stalk the farmland with unnatural purpose, while the descendants of an old betrayal seek to destroy the very relics needed to restore peace. Can the adventurers navigate family guilt and vengeful spirits to put the restless dead back to sleep?

Premium PF2e Adventures (Adventurer+)

Borrowed Tomb by Alex LeFort and David N. Ross - 2nd to 4th Level

Strange disturbances have been emanating from the tomb of a monastic order—wailing voices and unnatural sounds that echo across the countryside at all hours. Local villagers fear the worst: awoken, vengeful spirits bent on retribution.

In reality, a family of brown bears has taken shelter in the tomb during harsh weather, and their presence has disturbed the rest of the entombed monks. Rather than face hostile undead, the adventurers will find themselves mediating between distressed spirits who simply want their sanctuary restored to peace. Can the party find a solution that respects both the needs of the living animals and the eternal rest of the dead?

Borrowed Tomb

Brewer’s Barrier for 5e & PF2E

This shield is composed of a hearty darkwood that smells heavily of barley and hops. The outer ring of it is a solid metal hoop connected with rivets lending to the idea that this may have, at one point, been the end of a beer barrel. At the head of the barrel a well-polished metal tap has been installed that seemingly leads to nothing on the front side of the shield. The back has also been fitted with a leather strap allowing you to easily mount this barrel end to your wrist.

Barbot for 5e & PF2E

Originally the product of Dwarven experimentation in mining bots, the Barbot was a happy accident when a miner found that one of the mining bots could distribute water into their canteen when asked. Naturally, it was not long until they had successfully reprogrammed one of these bots to be the talk of the mines, distributing ale and mead to the thirsty Dwarves underground.
