Lair of the Primal Beast [25X25]
🕑 Added 2022-06-18 05:00:03 +0000 UTC“The effects of a legendary beast taking a lair has on the land is not well understood. Perhaps it is a residual bleed from the potent magic within them? All we have is conjecture for now.’ - Ida Holly, On the Primal Beast
“It’s said the creature came from long ago, slumbering in the molten rock below the geysers. And one day the thunder of war roused it, with thousands of years of hunger it ate an entire army in one go before slinking off into that tunnel and making its lair.
Not comes out of that mountain’s maw but steam and the trickling river of rock-stained water. And not goes in but fools like you. There is no justice to be found for the ones who lost their lives to the Primal Beast. Best leave it alone or the river will turn from orange- to red.”
This map is inspired by geyser fields like Yellowstone! I love the idea of a monster layer set above a slumber caldera that slowly wakes up as the legendary effects of a lair grow more and more powerful, causing more geysers to form and eventually- possibly a big eruption the heroes have to prevent. That’s just how I’d run it anyway. What would you put in this monster-lair?
This Pack also Includes a variant version where the landscape is imagined as a sort of Chaos Waste, Improbable, unexpected occurrences of pure untethered elemental chaos burst from the Geysers Chromatic spray-like effects such as paralysis, electrocution, and Flash freezes!
