Hags Dragon Den

"As the two journeymen, Harrod and Farstid pushed their raft through the Emerald Marshes towards the Hag's dwelling, Harrod became noticably more agitated the closer they progressed towards her domain.

"I dun know about this, mate," he protested nervously. "what if she turns us into something unsightly?"

"An' what? Go back empty handed?" Farstid retorted. "Look at what's happening to us!" he spoke without hiding the frustration in his voice.

He gestured to the gourds, wheat, and various produce they brought with them. The produce was afflicted with some sort of black growing threads, as thin as a strand of hair, but slowly enveloping their crops. They had dubbed it "The Black Creep", as nothing they had done could stop the slow progression of it over their lands.

"We razed the afflicted crops, but it still spreads regardless. I have no corn left that I could feed me livestock, as the creep started growing from their mouths and eyes, and me cow can't even produce milk without a brackish and blackened tint to it. We haven't a choice."

As they turned the final bend and saw the monstrous skull that created the foundation of her lair, Harrod paled and looked as if he may feint. "But there must be some other way... We could ask the healers in Anteroth!"

Farstid stopped pushing the raft forward for a moment and turned to his partner. "I know the fear ye be facing right now, friend. Trust me when I say I know no other way. Our town, our families, they be dyin', and this witch may be our only option. If anyone knows about the black creep, it'd be her. And I'd be willin' to pay any price to keep me land safe and me family fed, wouldn't you?"

Hey all,

Last map of the month for you, taking one of the ideas from the discord of "hags hut inside a dragons skull" and we have this interesting little map for you. Personally, I'm really happy with how this one came out. I think it's a fun quirky place to send your players to either make a deal, get a special potion from or try to steal a piece of the dragon remains .

I hope you like it! :)
