- A gully where a natural stream courses southward. Some giant ants live here.
- A series of halls (west) that were built as a stronghold by dwarves centuries ago but now are held by goblins.
- A natural mine complex the dwarves used that is now held by kobolds (to the east) - the kobolds and goblins really hate each other.
- A water-filled series of caverns where troglodytes consume magic mushrooms.
- An upper natural cave (northwest) where a one-eyed ogre lives, who collects 'taxes' from the others.
- A hidden temple complex (northeast - through a secret door connected to the troglodyte halls) where the acolyte and some zombies are attempting to return the demon lord to life.
This is obviously not-so-loosely inspired by the Caves of Chaos. Clearing these caves and defeating the acolyte is enough to bump a fellowship from level 1 to level 2.
This is cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I feel like it hews close enough to the source material to be familiar, but with enough wrinkles to make it a little different.
