After taking a week off, well sort of, this week we look at bringing the adventure back to the party and we introduce Crater Lake as the fist stop on the road to adventure. While the weather outside is wet and miserable I wanted to explore an adventure thought that sprung to life as I was driving through the rain. So now we all have to rug up, sit down, grab a hot coffee and read about this weeks adventure!
Crater Lake
330MoCrLa
The Valley of Molwert was riddled with history and lore. The stories of the land go back to say that before the valley was fertile, bountiful and safe it was a volcanic battleground. A war had waged for aeons between the fires from the earth’s crust and the rain from the heavens. However with the help and prayers from the people who dared to live amongst the forces of nature the heavens rain was deemed triumphant. Rain pelted down and extinguished the fires in the volcano driving the fire deep down beneath the rocky surface.
The battle left a scar through the earth but with the aid from the heavens water life blossomed and it became a bountiful and fertile valley.
This is what the stories said. Now as Charlta stared out across the sodden crops she wondered how much longer they could weather this constant rain. The crops were dying as they slowly drowned. The water logged soil was unable to take any more rain and the river bank threatened to burst its banks and flood the land.
Hidden danger
High in the Molwert mountain in the crater of an ancient volcano the lake that had formed here was slowly coming to its critical levels. Trickles of water tipped over the edge of the crater and ran down the valley. Winding its way across the stone, soil and around the trees these trickles joined with the river and slowly, day by day it rose the river height.
The only thing that was dry on the mountain was a forgotten temple that was erected many lifespans ago to try and appease the deities of fire and water. The heat from the temple stone caused the water to retreat back from its steps, however, the water was encroaching even upon this dry place.
Thoughts
Now the story of fire vs water is an old one. However I believe this week will be a good one where I get to use creatures, map art assets and even traps and hazards like I haven’t before. This week will be big and I can’t wait to throw it at the players.
Thanks for joining me again for the start of another week. Don’t forget as this week continues I will add more to this story and grow it until its content bursts the bank. You wont want to miss it. And lastly, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
