Dungeon23 – Cult Temple of the Moon Goddess

This week’s map is located between The Lamplighters’ Bolt-hole and the Charnel Pit of the Restless Dead, so the numbering may seem a bit confusing. Still pondering what to draw next week, but more caves and tunnels could be fun…. Room Descriptions 50. Spiral stairs from [42] lead down into this room with four doors.Continue reading “Dungeon23 – Cult Temple of the Moon Goddess”

Scarlet Citadel Session 34 – The Secret Spiral Staircase

Last session the adventurers returned to Redtower following their trials and tribulations in the Scarlet Citadel. Here’s what happened next.

Back in Redtower, the adventurers recover from their recentContinue reading “Scarlet Citadel Session 34 – The Secret Spiral Staircase”

Dungeon23 – Charnel Pit of the Restless Dead

This week’s dungeon lies two levels beneath the Lamplighters’ Bolt-hole, and can be accessed via the collapsing stairs in Room 42. The reason it’s two levels below and not just one is that I forgotten about the deep pit I’d put in Room 40! Luckily this gives me a perfect opportunity to add a sublevelContinue reading “Dungeon23 – Charnel Pit of the Restless Dead”

Dungeon23 – The Lamplighters’ Bolt-hole

In Week 6 of Dungeon23, I returned to the sewer level just below Parsantium’s city streets with an area located just to the west of Week 1’s map. Heading down the spiral stairs in Room 42 is a tempting option for next week…. Room Descriptions 36. A sewer worker in the brown uniform of theContinue reading “Dungeon23 – The Lamplighters’ Bolt-hole”

Scarlet Citadel Session 33 – No Sleep Till Redtower

Last session we left the adventurers in media res in the now infamous trollkin-infested Dwarven Barracks. Here’s what happened next. You can read earlier posts here. This post contains spoilers for Scarlet Citadel.

Empire of the Ghouls Session 38 – The Pure City of Vandekhul

In this month’s Empire of the Ghouls session we continued with the final chapter, The Pure City of Vandekhul, as the characters arrived in the ghoul city and started exploring. I think we’ve just got two or three sessions to go before we reach the end of the campaign. This session write up contains spoilersContinue reading “Empire of the Ghouls Session 38 – The Pure City of Vandekhul”

Dungeon23 – Flooded Caverns of the Fish-Folk

For Week 5 of Dungeon23, we’ve reached the bottom of the well (Room 11) and arrived in a series of flooded caverns occupied by google-eyed fish-folk and something sinister with tentacles. As Creighton Broadhurst says, everything is better with tentacles. For next week, I’m thinking about drawing some rooms that connect up with the sewers weContinue reading “Dungeon23 – Flooded Caverns of the Fish-Folk”

Tyranny of Dragons Session 20 – The Tomb of Diderius

Tyranny of Dragons was the first full D&D 5e campaign I ran, starting back in 2015. Here’s the write up from the 20th session in which we continued with The Rise of Tiamat. One thing I enjoyed a lot about this campaign was getting to use lore and locations from my large library of Forgotten Realms booksContinue reading “Tyranny of Dragons Session 20 – The Tomb of Diderius”

Dungeon23 – Domain of the Dark Naga

For Week 4 of Dungeon23, we’ve descended the stairs from Room 20 in the Caverns of the Heart Eaters to a series of ancient rooms and passageways dating back to the founding of Dhak Janjua, now home to Bhadravai, a dark naga. As I write this, I’m pondering whether to continue going down to the flooded caverns belowContinue reading “Dungeon23 – Domain of the Dark Naga”
