364 The Unexpected Visitor

Denizens of the Tower!

The unexplainable alien-looking lights from Charity Tower and the recent contamination of the underground stream and wells have the populace of Prado Village on the brink of chaos. Chunks of gelatinous black masses on the water make people sick and poison the farms.

A local lord is ready to sling a considerable amount of gold for a group of outsiders to go check out what really is going on at the abandoned tower. Something is amiss, that's for sure. What exa...

The otyugh communicated mentally with Seskel and asked for more food. Seskel complied out of curiosity and that is how the unlikely "friendship"  begun.

Seskel found a indescribable pleasure when he saw the otyugh consume all kinds of trash. That pleasure combined with the constant...

363 Seskel's New Friend (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 363 Seskel's New Friend. 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...

An out of control cult is a danger to all!

Travelers!

The local church-goers have seen a slow but steady descent into insanity as their priest-leader changes the precepts and traditions of the Church of the Three Idols. An inner circle of fervent believers has become violent and daring. The reports of strange lights and sounds coming from the church as of late and the isolated cases of people disappearing in the immediate area of the church do not help.

Unbeknownst to all is the fact that the priest has become the prey of ...

A Cool Region for Adventures

Hey travelers!

It has been a while since I last made a regional map. If I remember correctly that was back in map 233 (Ardennia) when our supporters on Patreon helped us make a cool regional setting. Well, this is a map of a nice and idyllic farming region. Haverton is the de facto capital in this part of the kingdom. The local lord is charged with the task of managing the region and squeeze as much produce and tithes from it to keep the crown happy. The soil is fertile but that does no...

359 The Idyllic Grotto

Denizens of the tower!

We close the month with this lively colored private grotto. A narrow network of tunnels gives way to a strange cove with a large marine creature dead on the sand. The creature appears to have been there for a while but it does not rot or decompose. An eerie location for a fun adventure.

-- Important --

We wrote an adventure for this map, quite a large document actually. Though it recycles some of the material already published this mon...

358 The Lipstick of Chaos

Denizens of the Tower and travelers from a faraway land!

This is the story of Lenna and Oniro, two female mages who came upon the strangest gift of all. A cursed lipstick of chaos!

The violet lipstick plays a nasty spell on all weak-willed individuals, regardless of race or gender. It causes the wearer to become attached to the small make up item. To the point where one would betray friends and family only to retrieve it if lost. But it also causes an irresistible urge to share it...

Let's just all build a tavern in the tree!
