Misty Crypts Crawling with Undead!

Traveler from a foreign land!

A local crypt is the source of local legends and stories. The place remains uncharted, only a few individuals have managed to explore the first chamber and escape after the attack of relentless undead. The place remains a popular talking point among mercenaries and adventurers but most of them are show-offs and liars. The misty crypt remains an unlooted tomb. A promise of riches that only the bravest will be able to collect; or else they will pay the failur...

382 Seaside Observatory (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 382 Seaside Observatory. Notice that it is necessary to have Photoshop to use it. Inside you will find that it is all white. That is the uppermost layer, I only use it to make the file preview smaller in size. Once you remove that uppermost layer you'll see the illustration. (it's just one click)

Most of the illustration elements are properly named and arranged in folders in the layer area. Some assets like textures or smart objects have been ra...

They're attacking the clock tower!

Traveler!

This is the cool hamlet of Clock Tower! It's a small place with less than fifty inhabitants that is on the road to the largest city in the kingdom. It survives from the commerce from all the travelers, merchants, and mercenaries. Its main feature is a clock tower that was repurposed as an inn/tavern. The small settlement owes its name to this establishment.

The place is about to light up thanks to the unwelcome presence of a band of orc raiders that will attack Clock Tow...

380 Seat of the Skeleton King

Hey there, Denizens of the Tower and Traveler friends!

This is a level 3 adventure in delve format about an ancient mausoleum everyone knew was there but ignored. One day the doors opened and a bunch of undead came out and attacked the populace. The town council hired a small group of brave adventurers who went inside to fix the problem. However, none of them returned after a few days and the council needs to hire someone else.

Deep in the ancient mausoleum, a bygone king of a for...

Dungeon Delve format Adventures for DnD5e

We're trying something new this month. We always loved the dungeon-delve format from DnD 4e. It was a cool way of portraying dungeons and encounters where the whole thing always took a single page or a two-page spread (see above).

In book format, it was really cool because you had everything you needed on the page, and turning to the next page was a completely different section, dungeon, or encounter. We're gonna try doing this in a 2-page format this month and end up with a nice compil...

378 The Well That's Not So Well

Denizens of the Tower!

We're closing this month with a goblin lair inside a dried-out water well. A recent earthquake shifted the flow of underground currents and the well dried out. A bugbear and a community of goblins found the place and built an elevator contraption to access the three lower levels. They've made plenty of modifications to the place since they arrived. Unfortunately for them, their way of life shall be their undoing. They have recently decided to target a nearby villa...

377 The Obsidian Container

Denizens of the tower!

This is a level 5 adventure but I must say the environmental/positional hazards are quite lethal here. It's a cool tomb/mausoleum setting with some verticality in several of the areas and a nice final area for a cool boss fight.

As usual, the map is included in several formats so it's usable as a different location or on Roll20.

We wrote an adventure for this map. This adventure was published at the DMs Guild earl...

Who might sit on the throne next?

Traveler!

I recently finished Dark Souls 2 and the concept of the endgame location named "Throne of Want" left me thinking about incorporating a similar concept in a map. Sure, the scope here is smaller than it is in the video game. Plus, I can't account for people's campaigns coming to an end with a few paragraphs of background lore. So here we have an interesting experiment. This is supposed to be an end of campaign quest, at level 13. You know I keep the short adventures smaller in s...

Will they solve the maze?

Traveler!

You've heard the rumor of an explorer who found the key to finally access the inside of the place they call "The Cursed Pyramid". However, the explorer has not returned after a few weeks and is presumed dead. Could it be that the information he has and the key he bragged about having is still with him? Well, the pyramid still remains an uncharted place in the desert. One that many believe contains extraordinary treasures and wealth.

The fact that no explorer has yet retu...

Fighting in the arena voluntarily? Sign Me In!

This is the  Slaughterhouse, an underground illicit fighting pit sponsored and maintained by the wealthiest individuals in the city. The organizers are safe from law-enforcement because the rich keep them paid off to look the other way. Why so much secrecy?

Who's gonna save the fishermen?

Traveler!

There's a small fishing settlement where the fishermen have been attacked frequently over the past few weeks. Four of them have gone missing recently. It is all the fault of a school of kuo-toa fanatics that look for living human sacrifices. The fish folk recently found an ancient temple to an obscure entity called Dagon. In its sanctum, they conduct dark rituals and sacrifices to gain the favor of the Old One.

The sailors know the place where the kuo-toa can be found bu...
