Magnatrench: Night of the Deadsurge!

Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild

When using undead creatures, and zombies in particular, it always felt as if these creatures were missing the feeling of perpetual threats. Typically, when the creatures and dealt with that threat is over. A concept that was missing is the focus of reanimation. Instread of the threat bearing how difficult these creatures are to finally defeat, it is shifted here to focus more on their reanimation and their recurring threat.


Synopsis

The party has been hired to investigate the Magnatrench Mines, a recently rediscovered location that isn’t on any records. Get in, get out: it’s as simple as surviving.

  • Characters arrive at the Magnatrench.
  • Characters need to descend into the cavern to get in the mine since the guildhall entrance has collapsed.
  • From the central bridge, characters choose to enter the guildhall or the mine first.
  • In the mine is a magically sealed door.

Adventure Hook

A group of outsiders are hired to explore a newly rediscovered mine that nobody knows about or has records of aside from some vague coordinates in a journal.

  • What researcher or history buff wouldn’t want to be the first people to get their hands on a mine that time forgot?
  • Entertainers can get a great story out of this adventure, and that means more coin for their vices.
  • The obvious reason for any criminal or selfish person to investigate would be the untouched loot just waiting to be claimed.

Included in this Adventure

  • A 16 page adventure for a 5th level group
  • Setting-neutral location for any campaign
  • Altered map from the famous Dyson Logos
  • New custom creatures and adventuring gear
  • Creature statblocks, tactics, and descriptions
  • Suggestions for altering the adventure to better suit party dynamics

Sprinkle these in your campaign to reward your players and see what they can do with them. It will add to the fun and excitement of your adventures. More story and less rolling on random item tables.

Mounting Anticipation

Envoys to the Mount for Blue RoseIn the world of Blue Rose, the Kingdom of Aldis is normally where it’s at, but our newest releases, Envoys to the Mount and Tales from the Mount, are instead taking us on a journey to a very different destination, indeed: the Shadow Barrens, sorcery-defiled remnants of the once-thriving realm of Faenaria, where stands the quasi-mythical Mount Oritaun.

Envoys to the Mount is a campaign sourcebook for Blue Rose, spanning levels 2 to 17, which challenges a band of the Sovereign’s Finest to embrace their Destiny and defy Fate on an errand of mercy with repercussions to be felt throughout all of Aldea, now and for ages to come. While the quest begins innocuously enough—rendering aid to people in need across the kingdom—the adventure will lead these envoys to uncover ancient arcane secrets, pursue (and be pursued by!) deadly enemies, walk the streets of a metropolis long ago lost to Shadow, and ultimately stand against the earthly champion of the Exarchs in a battle both for the future of a lost people and for the soul of the world.

However, Envoys to the Mount is so much more than just a campaign. It also serves as a guide to the Sovereign’s Finest, outlining organization, operations, ranks and responsibilities, and all the other information needed to understand the inner workings of this revered Aldin fellowship. Within, you’ll learn what’s expected of an envoy, as well as the privileges and obligations of those who ascend the rank, and both a brief history of the Finest and a “who’s who” of its current leadership. Further, Envoys to the Mount explores the terrifying Shadow Barrens in detail—its vistas and many hazards, along with various points of interest for the bold… or the foolhardy—and provides new mechanics for use in this or any other Blue Rose campaign, such as the corrupt Shadow Dancer Talent and the exciting new system for challenge tests (a kind of advanced test with the potential for consequences every step of the way).Tales from the Mount from Nisaba Press

Of course, what’s a Blue Rose campaign without compelling player characters? Thus, we’re also releasing a free set of eight pregenerated 2nd level characters uniquely suited to the events of Envoys to the Mount, with built-in plot hooks intended to draw them directly into the action. While not necessary to enjoy Envoys to the Mount, these characters can jumpstart your adventure
