Big Bad Boss Rooms Week 2: Elemental Circle - Includes Aboleth Lair and Volcano Horde
🕑 Added 2024-07-11 17:56:56 +0000 UTCHappy release day you wonderful lot!
Today we have the 3 new maps for our new theme, Big Bad Boss Rooms!
First things first - Elemental Circle. Originally suggested on our Discord server this magical hub has alot of potential!
Aboleth Lair, does exactly what it says on the tin. Inspired by a fantasic article I read by Tomas Rioja on how to build an Aboleth Lair, I have included a minion area, (perhaps Merfolk or Merrow) aswell as some sneaky pools where the aboleth can start to influence your PCs long before they get to it. You can find the full article HERE.
Finally Volcano Horde, another Discord suggestion this positively lethal scene will require your PCs to rick it all to get their hands on the sweet sweet loot. Look out for the Red Dragon, I imagine it isn't far away....

Adventure Ideas: Elemental Circle
Elemental Ascension:
Plot: An elementalist mage is attempting to ascend to a higher plane of existence by harnessing the raw elemental power concentrated in the stone circle. The ritual is causing natural disasters in the surrounding areas.
Objective: The party must stop the mage before the ritual is completed, or risk catastrophic consequences.
Misguided Experiment:
Plot: A well-meaning druid is attempting to channel the energy of the stone circle to cure a widespread blight, but the process is destabilizing the forest's magic.
Objective: Convince the druid to stop, or find a way to safely harness the energy without causing harm.
Dragonβs Awakening:
Plot: An ancient dragon was imprisoned within the stone circle by powerful magic. As the magic wanes, the dragon stirs, threatening to awaken.
Objective: The party must protect a group of mages who are attempting to renew the binding spell, fending off both the dragon and other threats drawn to the circleβs power.

sounds good to me! 'Corrupted good' is often a nice hook too. A 'good' elemental can do evil for the right reasons. They will still need stopping :D

I've never run through the elemental evil campaign, but this seems like it could be an interesting addition.
