Places Found While Wandering 2
Lucky Cliff
A 100' granite cliff face pushes out of the rocky terrain, pocked with chiseled holes up to about 12'. Above that, about 1000 chiastolite crosses glimmer, the highest at around 70' up the cliff. Carrying a chiastolite amulet grants +1 to saving throws against Demons or Undead, the harvested crosses are worth 100sp each.
Pig Slide
A crack in the stone about 11' across leads to a shallowly sloping passage lined with slick obsidian. After 60' the passage narrows to about 3' for another 20', then opens onto a cave 24' wide, 55' long and 13' tall. A small herd of 8 giant boar live here, they have no trouble running on the obsidian. The long-dead remains of an adventuring party are piled up against the far end, one wears a still-shiny suit of chainmail woven through with strips of black velvet.
Chainmail of Dream Plundering
If the wearer is asleep, they, along with anyone sleeping within 20' of them, share a dream of a fantastical adventure setting. If they are killed in the dream, they wake with a single hit point and cannot get back to sleep. After 8 hours in the dream the dreamers wake, finding any treasure they recovered in the dream in a pile nearby.
Lake of Death
A 2 mile wide crater lake, its edges made of masoned stone rubble. The crumbling ruins of stairways, pillars and statues stick out of the water, making it hard to navigate. Waterlogged undead patrol just under the surface, 3-in-6 chance of an ambush for each turn spent exploring: 1-3. 2d6 zombies, 4-5. 1d6 ghouls, 6. 1d3 wights.
At the centre of the crater, 1d3+1 turns of careful navigation from the edge, is the last standing structure, a domed marble temple, covered in 4000 triangular lapis lazuli tiles worth 2sp each. Inside is an oversized ceramic skull with four horns and four eye sockets, covered in blue spirals. The skull makes a low-pitched hum, which increases in pitch every day. In 100 days it will unleash a wave of force that levels every building and kills every creature within a 1-mile radius, returning to a deep rumble. This happens every 10 years.
