Dry Bones Gorge 20x30 Battle Map | Variant | VTT
Added 2019-03-11 00:52:56 +0000 UTCThis gorge has earned its name for a reason. It is as dry as cracked, sun-baked bones—and the decaying corpses of those who have died of thirst within its reaches have all too often graced its parched earth, nourishing the starving soil, and luring local monsters in for a feast.
Adventure Seeds
- Monsters are eating the corpses of foolish travellers. Upon seeing fresh, and mouth-wateringly succulent fresh, they decide your party is the far richer reward…
- A wraith bound to haunt her bones attacks your party, claiming to have been slain by the chief of a nearby village—and knowing only that she wants retribution, whatever the cost. If enough travellers die here, she knows that, eventually, the chief will have to come and inspect their deaths himself…
- A ghost locals know to avoid has been luring travellers to their doom by tricking them into following her into a monster’s lair. But what will she do if your party kills the beast she was using as a tool for her vengeance? An abused woman who killed herself, she was eternally bound to the mortal plain hundreds of years ago by her abuser, but she doesn’t know how much time has passed. Believing he is out of reach of her vengeance, and unable to leave, she vents her fury by killing whoever she can. If someone were to grant her mercy, perhaps they would find the man who did this to her, and bring him here. Short of that, perhaps they would find and bring his bones—doing onto him what was done onto her, so that she might finally have closure…
