The ice on the ground and pools of frozen water, or blood, create several trip hazards for tonight’s encounter. There are bones that could be used as distractions or, weapons if used in the right moment but otherwise could prove to be detrimental for those trying to sneak through the cave system.
The harsh cold walls, cold wind will make exposure a problem if one finds themselves trapped within without a source of fire or heat. But the biggest problem is the monster and its master that calls this cave home.
Dark stone walls and dark stone floor texture do the heavy lifting this week. A light snow dusting on the outside hints at the stormy light beyond the cave mouth but also shows the temperature. Bones and light sources give a bit more thematic atmosphere and tie the story into this particular map.
Thanks for joining tonight for a very quick map night tonight. Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to meet monster and master and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage, The Brazen Wolfe
Tonight we find the party moving towards the Den of Lies, or that’s what they will quickly find it to be. As they make the most of the break in the storm the party rush to uncover the truth of the beast after another person went missing during the night. But it’s not quite what they expect.
So grab your torches and pitchforks as we race into tonight’s adventure!
Den of Lies

The morning brought a gap in the storm and another body. Welk Tanner was found nearly cut in half as the first of dawns light poked through the window to the outside world. Despite being locked in side with the village healer, as a precaution against the beast, the healer claimed to not have heard or seen anything until the morning.
The window was smashed, the wood torn from around its frame and the room was a mess. There was even gore on the older mans tunic from how violent the attack on Welk was. When the village woke up to the screams of alarm and panic the elder had the healer locked away until the party could confirm the story by finding and killing the beast at its lair.
As they left there was a overwhelming sense of dread, a presence amongst the village and the woods as they walked in the direction of where they were planning to go. Moving further from the village the world became quite apart from the sound of their feet breaking partially frozen twigs.
Soon enough they came face to face with a cave, if that’s what it could be called. The party could smell it from dozens of feet away, the smell of blood and death. The ice hadn’t melted which clung to the mouth of the cave like frozen stalagmites and stalactites creating a frozen maw that gaped at them.
The party exchanged tense glances as they approached the cave entrance. The cold air seemed to grow thicker with every step, carrying with it a sense of evil that was almost thick enough to touch. As they drew deeper into the cave, the sounds of the forest faded away, replaced by an eerie silence that pressed in on their ears, broken only by water drops and the wind howling outside.
They stopped finding a trail of blood leading from the mouth of the cave and at its end, a pile of broken bodies and bones. The walls of the cave were riddled with ice like an infection, and the floor was littered with bones and skin, both human and animal. The stench of death was overwhelming, and the adventurers had to steel themselves against the urge to retch.
As they reached the end of the cave their heart sank. Nothing. There was no creature here lurking in the dark which pointed the rod of blame towards the kind healer, the one who gave no sense of evil about them. The flickering light of their torches cast shadows on the wall but revealed something amongst the dancing light. On the wall had been placed a twisted altar of bone, pelts and rope, covered in runes that glowed with a sickly blue light. As they watched the light pulse the air grew thicker with an oppressive energy, and the party could feel the weight of malevolent magic pressing down on them.
Suddenly, a low growl echoed through the chamber, and the adventurers turned to see a massive, hulking figure emerge from the shadows. It was the creature they had been hunting. The large twisted wolf that had limbs far longer than a normal canine stalked closer, the whispers and rumours did it no justice but now it stood before them in all its terrible glory. Its eyes glowed with an unnatural light, and its white patchy fur was matted with blood.
But it was the second figure that emerged next to it, standing beside the creature that truly chilled their blood. The village elder, his eyes filled not with a evil but with a hunger that made it all the more worse. He raised raised his hands and pale blue light spread from the altar, up the wall and around the cave. Spilling like illuminate ink across the carvings in the wall revealing a web of ancient magic.
‘You must give an old man credit,’ the elder spoke calmly as he stroked the large not-wolf. ‘You have played right into my hands. An old man, a likely culprit and a village in need of saving. How we grew hungry when no one came by despite the storm I summoned.’ he said as he looked around the room, the light shimmering around him like a cloak of magic. ‘I had to use some of the flock to feed the village. But that’s over now with what you bring. Fresh meat, people expecting you somewhere and all evidence pointing you to the creature in the mountain. More adventurers, guards and clerics to come and purge an evil that waits so very hungrily for them.’
Thanks for joining me tonight for the reveal of the villain of this story, not a creature but two. Don’t forget that tomorrow we will be looking at the map for this encounter and I have a good one planned. But also don’t forget to come back Friday and the weekend as well for more tabletop content and lastly, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage, The Brazen Wolfe
Now for the next Zine of the year I present, in single page zine format, The Vipers Crown. I still believe that these provide DMs a lot more freedom to tinker with it how they want and open up the adventures to be more free formed and flowing than the larger booklet zines.
There is references to the blog nights which are D&D centric (regarding Friday night’s Stat-blocks) but this adventure can be used system agnostic more so than my regular Zines. As always Kobold fight club can be used to quickly balance an encounter for Dungeons and Dragons and Tetra-cube provides the stat-blocks for many of my D&D creatures.
So I hope you enjoy this weeks adventure, The Vipers Crown, and that all your rolls are made with advantage.

As the party ventured towards the kingdom of Arelia ruled by Queen Emera and King Leon, the picturesque streets showcased a society where the citizens were well-fed and healthy. Cheerful guards, ever ready to assist, exemplified the kingdom’s utopian charm. Children played and studied under the watchful eyes of their guardians, painting a scene of tranquillity. However, as the party decided to call it a day and head toward their inn, the Royal Fillet, the atmosphere shifted. Ahead of them several royal guards stood around a man who stood and talked with a beautiful woman. Unlike their friendly city guard counterparts, these warriors were resolute and unwelcoming.
As they drew near one guard approached them quickly, directing them to a different route. However, they were quickly overruled as a summons by the prince interrupted the hasty conversation. The prince enhanced pleasantries and seemed proud of the kingdom his family had created. However the mood changed drastically. ‘However to support this we have to accept charitable donations from all visitors to the kingdom, a tithe of one tenth. It’s only fair that if you’re enjoying yourself and if you wish to see the children of this land flourish that you contribute to their health.’
Emerging from the storage room, the party is confronted by a dimly lit hall, its opulence palpable despite the lingering scent of blood. Muted chandeliers cast dancing shadows on the intricate wood panelling and ornate carvings, which tell tales of the castle’s royalty. The luxurious red carpet underfoot, remembered from their earlier stumble, offers a stark contrast to their recent peril. Cushioned chairs line the walls, inviting rest, though the sense of looming danger prevails.
As the party surveys the hall, they notice several doors leading to other rooms and hear faint noises, likely from Princess Ramiera’s men, indicating their ordeal is far from over.
Still suffering from snake venom, the party encountered a woman emerging from the shadows. She taunted them, saying Princess Ramiera would be disappointed they survived and warned that no help was coming, as Ramiera had started the dance. Soon, others dressed in dark clothes, the same people seen with Ramiera earlier, emerged from the other rooms, ready for a fight. One of them roared about ensuring Ramiera’s plans came to fruition and charged at the party, forcing them into a life-threatening battle once again.
As the battle reaches is climax Tuille rushes forward having heard the commotion and watches the party as they are attacked. She sees to the parties wounds and urges them to come report to their majesties.
The party burst into the hall once again causing the music to stop. As guests look at the stage of them, being led by royal guards the audience begins to gossip – believing them thieves or worse. As Tuille stands before the king, queen and prince she reports what she found, the other guards intercepting Ramiera as she was heading towards the door to leave.
The party explain, with the help of one of the surviving men of the princess, that Ramiera skillfully manipulated the nobles of Arelia to advance her plan of becoming the kingdom’s princess and redirecting its wealth to strengthen her homeland, Del’tursh, ultimately leaving Arelia vulnerable to conquest.

The party trudged behind the overly eager hunters, whose fervor for a dragon hunt was palpable, as they meticulously examined every inch of the path. The party’s task was clear: escort the hunters and ensure their safety. Despite the hunters’ overzealous nature, their vigilance paid off when they discovered a blood smear resembling a humanoid – potentially an orc or hobgoblin – handprint on a tree. This discovery invigorated the hunters, and their expert tracking skills soon outpaced the party, leading them through the forest’s labyrinth of trees, rocks, and brush. Signs of distress became more prominent until they stumbled upon a gruesome scene: a blood-soaked section of moss and lichen where a human lay, gored and lifeless.
The horrifying discovery of Linden, a fellow hunter, and his apprentice’s mangled body hanging from a tree, brought the party to a chilling realization. The hunters, initially caught up in listing potential monstrous culprits, missed the tell-tale signs of foul play. The party, however, noticed the sabotaged weapons and the strange marks on the victims’ necks, indicative of poison and treachery. This was no ordinary monster attack; something far more sinister was afoot. Determined to uncover the truth, the party resolved to take this grave matter to the village council.
The walk back was tense as the hunters that were retrieved were sullen as they carried one of their own back to the village. None of them looked overly upset or concerned though over the loss of their brethren. When asked, one of them shrugged.
‘This happens from time to time, normally it’s a new hunter not someone as skilled as Linden. It must have been quite the fight to bring him and Rake down though.’ he said almost wistfully at the thought of the fight.
The council quickly grasped the party’s suspicions of murder when they were summoned. Aaron, the master hunter of Omelga, pointed out the fierce rivalry in the competition to crown the master hunter. Wisteria, an elder and herbalist, noted that the poison on the dart was commonly used among hunters. Olly and Pete suggested enlisting other hunters to help find the culprits. After a brief deliberation, Wisteria addressed the group, ready to take action.
‘These young hunters being our bate and you the hunters of the most deadly of creatures, monster hunters?’
Olly and Pete rush to bring back the Council who appear both shocked and appalled at what was revealed. Most of their hunters involved in people-hunting as a sport is not something that they were considering as an option – yet here before them scattered across the ground were the bodies to prove it.

The party, hired by the Temple of Helm to retrieve stolen medical goods, returned successfully, earning the admiration of the clerics at the temple entrance. As they deliver the goods, they are greeted by Tyson, the high cleric. He expresses his gratitude and begins to ask about their encounter with the bandits. However, their attention was soon drawn to two suspicious individuals sneaking into Tyson’s quarters. Acting swiftly, the party confronted the intruders, apprehending two of the three thieves after a brief skirmish.
Tyson took the captured thieves for questioning, suspecting they were after a Dark Shard, a fragment of a cursed blade housed within the temple. With the third thief still at large, Tyson requested the party’s assistance once more. He asked them to work with the city guard to uncover the thieves’ intentions and locate the missing thief, believing this would shed light on the cult’s nefarious plans. The party agreed, ready to face the challenges ahead and protect the temple and the city from further threats.
The party arrived at the bustling City Watch headquarters, ready to follow up on their next job from Tyson. They pushed through the large double doors, greeted by the sight of guards bustling about with discussions of recent crimes and patrol routes. Captain Elara Stote, a seasoned and stern-looking guard captain, listened intently to their description of the thieves. She pointed to a wall covered in squares of parchment, noting reports of suspicious activity in the old warehouse district, a known criminal hideout.
Within minutes, Captain Elara assigned a squad of seasoned guards and one overly confident new recruit to accompany the party. As they navigated the cramped streets, the guards pulled long brown cloaks over their tunics to blend in with the crowd. Questioning locals, they gathered information about a recent sighting of a cloaked figure entering an abandoned warehouse, a notorious haven for illicit activities. Approaching the warehouse cautiously, they noted signs of recent traffic and prepared to enter. Inside, they discovered dark symbols and an altar, revealing a hidden passage that led to a series of underground tunnels.

Tonight I go back to a quick random adventure, The Relic of Thundarr, for this weeks random adventure. For these quick random adventures it makes a adventure which could be a fun one shot.
So sit down as another quick adventure is just moments away!
The Relic of Thundarr
505SaReTh
Title: The Relic of Thundarr
Adventure Hook: The adventurers find a weathered dwarf named Grumli Ironfoot in a local tavern, spinning tales of his clan’s lost treasure—a powerful artifact known as the Relic of Thundarr. Grumli’s family has been searching for it for generations, but with little success. He offers the party a handsome reward to help him retrieve it from its last known location.
Notable NPC:Grumli Ironfoot – a grizzled dwarf with a long, braided beard. However, his beard isn’t what draws peoples attention as his left leg is a large bronze peg-leg. He’s gruff but trustworthy and his knowledge of ancient dwarven lore is evident in the stories he tells anyone who buys him an ale. Despite his rugged exterior, Grumli has a soft spot for his clan’s history and is driven by a deep sense of duty to restore its honor.
Location:The Ironfoot Caverns– A large underground network of tunnels and caverns where the dwarves of the Ironfoot clan had lived for years. However, they were driven out of the mines by a mysterious disease which took the lives of many of their clan. The young dwarf lord, Fharn Ironfoot went out in search of aid and came back with a cure, but he was unwilling to share where it came from.
However, the damage had been done and in their time that they had left their caverns, mines and house the caves had been overrun with a nasty group of bugbears.
Hidden Plot Twist: Just as the party uncovers the hidden chamber containing the Relic of Thundarr, they are confronted by a mixed group of humans, elves and a halfling. The group is led by Thalia Shadeong, a cunning half-elf treasure hunter who has been shadowing them since they left the tavern. Thalia reveals that she, too, has a claim to the relic, believing it to be rightfully hers through an ancient pact made with her ancestors to cure the dwarves of their sickness – a detail that Grumli only revealed once the party was traveling towards the Ironfoot Caverns.
She asks that the party leave with the dwarf, Grumli Ironfoot, so that she can get her birthright.
Social Encounter: Before any combat ensues, the party has the opportunity to engage in a tense negotiation with Thalia and her group. They can attempt to persuade her to share the relic or find a compromise that honours both her claim and Grumli’s. The outcome of this encounter will significantly impact the adventure’s direction.
Combat Encounter: The party would encounter a few roaming bands of Bugbears and goblins. Each consisting of a boss who orders the others around, a bugbear or two who are the muscle behind the meat-head approach of the captain and their goblin workers – who are poorly armed and fall very quickly.
The other encounter is due to a failed social encounter.
If negotiations fail, the party engage in a battle within the relic chamber. The confined space, coupled with the unstable stone work that has decayed over the time. This makes for added dangers over combat and considerations that need to happen . The adventurers must work out how to overcome Thalia and her followers while ensuring the relic remains undamaged.
Antagonist: Thalia does indeed, not have a claim on the relic. She overheard the over-sharing dwarf and decided to try and make a play for the relic.
Depending on the outcome of the social or combat encounter, the adventurers can secure the Relic of Thundarr for Grumli, negotiate a shared guardianship, or even lose it to Thalia.

Now for the next Zine of the year I present, in single page zine format, Murder at Mouler’s Peak. I still believe that these provide DMs a lot more freedom to tinker with it how they want and open up the adventures to be more free formed and flowing than the larger booklet zines.
There is references to the blog nights which are D&D centric (regarding Friday night’s Stat-blocks) but this adventure can be used system agnostic more so than my regular Zines. As always Kobold fight club can be used to quickly balance an encounter for Dungeons and Dragons and Tetra-cube provides the stat-blocks for many of my D&D creatures.
So I hope you enjoy this weeks adventure, Murder at Mouler’s Peak, and that all your rolls are made with advantage.
Murder at Mouler’s Peak

Murder at Mouler’s Peak – Created in WordPress!?
The man sits before them and looks nervously at the party before smiling at the girl next to him, his daughter, before talking more. ‘Thanks for seeing us, I know that adventurers of your reputation would be quite busy as it is and I promised my late wife that I would do the best for her daughter.’ he said, smiling at the girl. ‘Feli is all I have left of her late mother and I need to get her away from the city so she can avoid the bad arranged marriage to a fiendish man.’ he said at the party. ‘I just need her escorted to Moulder’s Peak, a little fort in the mountains, a day’s travel. Feli can show you the way as her uncle will be waiting for her there to take her where she can’t be found.’ he hesitated as he debated whether he should say something, ‘She may be followed though. The man in question is known to send thugs after people who stood against them. I am happy to pay for danger money to ensure she gets there safely in the rare case that she is followed.’ he says tentatively but it’s obvious he is hiding something.
The party left the main road from Kestel, heading east towards the fort at Mouler’s Peak. Their mission was to escort Feli, their employer’s daughter, to her uncle at the fort, escaping an unwanted marriage. Feli, a quiet but intelligent companion, proved valuable as they navigated through the city and onto the open road. Along the way, they caught glimpses of men following them, prompting the party to choose a less-travelled back road through fearsome woods, where only the city guard dared venture.
During their journey, Feli hunted small game to sustain them, and around a concealed campfire, she revealed her troubling past. Betrothed to a ruthless gang leader to settle her mother’s debts, Feli’s voice was cold and she shivered as she spoke of the danger she fled. After thanking the party and retiring for the night, the group remained on high alert, sensing the eyes of a predator upon them. The next morning, they discovered deep tracks of a large beast near their camp, realizing the importance of heightened vigilance as they continued their perilous journey towards Mouler’s Peak.

Tonight I wanted to do another quick adventure promp using the same format from earlier this year. So the adventure, Sunset over Dawnshade, was created with the idea of fabricated monsters and a the real monster being capitalism – that old trope.
So sit down as another quick adventure is just moments away!
Sunset over Dawnshade
504WeSuDa
Sunset over Dawnshade – Created in WordPress!?
Title: Sunset over Dawnshade
Adventure Hook: The quiet village of Dawnshade has been recently become engulfed by fear as villagers report sightings of monstrous creatures emerging from the nearby Crystal Cavern. The cavern, once a source of wonder due to its beautiful, shimmering crystals, has become a place of fear. No villager or miner is willing to go into the Cavern and as the local lord is concerned about the villages livelihood.
The lord seeks brave adventurers to investigate and eliminate this threat to the village and its people.
Notable NPC:Ronan Ironbeard – A stout and strong dwarf with a temper problem. Once a former miner no the only man who is willing to brave the mines with the monsters being reported. Only he knows the Crystal Cavern like the back of his hand and is willing to show the party. Ronan is quick to judge but loyal to those who prove their worth. His knowledge of the caverns and mining experience make him an invaluable ally. Despite his tough exterior, he has a soft spot for the village and its people who accepted him when his clan did not.
Location:The Crystal Cavern – A magnificent underground cavern system connected by twisting tunnels that formed a labyrinth under ground. The cavernous spaces are filled with sparkling crystals that cast an eerie glow and refract light which reacts to magic in the air. The cavern’s beauty is marred by some of the cruder pathways of which some are half built. These treacherous half constructed pathways are not the only thing that is dangerous within the cavern as there is a lurking presence of something sinister that all that enter can feel.
Hidden Plot Twist: The party don’t find any trace of anything evil or monster within the caverns. They do however find a source of monstrous greed – the lord of Dawnshade. He has found a buyer for the crystals and needs the villagers to believe that the caverns are no longer safe. He organised for Ronan and the party to be in the mines and to be murdered in order to make it look more dangerous that what it is.
The party finds evidence of mining the crystals out which Ronan helps identify as recent before they find themselves face to face with the miners and the hired thugs of the Lord. One of the Lords house guards is with them and he reveals the plan before the combat starts.
Social Encounter: The party are able to house guard to betray his employer as he is only in it for the money the lord is paying him. The bag of gold is not worth his life, and if the party can convince him as such he declares before agreeing to reveal the lords plot in exchange for his life and their protection from the lords men.
Combat Encounter: The adventurers can fight the thugs and the house guard at which point the house guard would beg forgiveness before he is defeated. There are two thugs for every party member and while some of them work well together many evidently don’t know how to fight as a team.
Antagonist: The Lord of the Village has been overcome with greed and wants to sell the crystals to a merchant company. The village believe they are tied into the ancestors reason to settle nearby and almost treats the cavern as a religious place. The village council lets the Lord get away with what he wants as his guard have protected the townsfolk a few times when attacked by bandits or raiders.

Now for the next Zine of the year I present, in single page zine format, Rotting Fields. I still believe that these provide DMs a lot more freedom to tinker with it how they want and open up the adventures to be more free formed and flowing than the larger booklet zines.
There is references to the blog nights which are D&D centric (regarding Friday night’s Stat-blocks) but this adventure can be used system agnostic more so than my regular Zines. As always Kobold fight club can be used to quickly balance an encounter for Dungeons and Dragons and Tetra-cube provides the stat-blocks for many of my D&D creatures.
So I hope you enjoy this weeks adventure, Rotting Fields, and that all your rolls are made with advantage.
Rotting Fields
503SuRoFi
Rotting Fields – created in WordPress!?
The party travels to Temal, a small farming village known for its unique Mallow water, and they witness a heated argument between the locals. Simon, a farmer, accuses a boy named Roy Jameson of vandalizing crops, but Mayor Tibs insists they need proof before taking any action. The village guard, in chain and leather armour, steps forward, and the argument escalates until Simon and his group storm off.
The Mayor approaches the adventurers and requests their help to discreetly investigate the vandalism. He explains that with the harvest moon approaching, the Mallow crops are being damaged, and Simon believes Roy is responsible. The Mayor emphasizes the importance of resolving the issue before it leads to unnecessary harm or unwarranted justice.
The party has spent a bit of the day asking around the village with little lead apart from Roy’s feud with Simon and a few other historical spats and cases where unproven vandalism claims have been made over the years. Captain Garet, the primary guard of Temal, meets the party at the Tipsy Daisy Tavern, showing signs of stress. He explains that blood feuds have plagued Temal since the Mallow crop was first harvested, as it’s the only place the plants grow. Garet reveals that Roy Jameson, who loves Simon’s daughter Sara, sought her hand in marriage, which enraged Simon. Since then, Sara has been kept under close watch.
The next morning, the party is alerted by commotion outside and finds a woman accusing Simon of destroying her Mallow plant. Simon denies it, blaming Roy instead. Captain Garet intervenes, and the woman shows the party where she found a uniform worn by Simon’s farm hands. The clothes are filthy and surrounded by ash-like dust, radiating evil, malign magic. The party discovers a finger near the clothes that disintegrates into dust which is touched. The man did not disappear into thin air after all.
The party plunges into the fog-filled fields, their senses assaulted by the cloying sweet scent of the Mallow plants mingling with the putrid stench of the undead. The thick, cactus-like Mallow plants obscure their view, creating shadowy figures as they navigate through the uneven terrain, dotted with large holes where zombies have clawed their way out of shallow graves. In the distance, a woman’s voice calls out, filled with fear, pain, and panic, urging them to break through the undead barring their path.
As they move deeper into the fields, shambling figures emerge from the fog, their rotting forms barely visible until they’re almost upon the party. Weapons drawn, the adventurers engage the zombies in fierce combat. The fog swirls around them, occasionally revealing glimpses of the eerie scene, zombies tearing at Mallow plants, limbs and viscera falling to the ground.
The clash of steel against decayed flesh and the groans of the undead fill the air. Amidst the chaos, the party hears the woman’s voice again, closer this time, calling for help as the sound of flight and battle can be heard. With every few heart beats the party cut down the zombies, making their way towards the source of the anguished cries.
Then there is something else cutting down zombies, a large putrid revenant that defends a woman, Sara Tode – Simon’s daughter. As she looks weakly at the party the revenant rushes at the party to defend its creator.

Tonight I wanted to show off my latest monster created for Wilderfeast, The Tindten. Continuing to use the template I made to house the information and to guide how it interacts with the pack of Wilders hunting it.
So for anyone thinking of running the games the guides on how to create monsters are good enough and there is enough freedom to run the game how you want it to be run. So give it a shot!
The Tindten
The Tindten is the second published creature that I have created for Wilderfeast.
It’s from the Butcher line due to its metal infused claws and teeth. But it could easily be confused for being part of the roasters line due to its tendency to ignite itself, and what ever its fighting, on fire with a special chemical it produces from ingesting a large amount of Rock Salt.
This creature is a great desert and Mountain cat which preys on wild Wooda and likes to play cat and mouse with the Rakuzar. It’s playful nature is quickly lost when the deposits of salt that it covets are in contest. Here the Tindten, the Tinder Kitten, will use its hardened claws to swiftly dig towards the threat and neutralise it.
Being able to ignite the crystalline secretions within its main with a spark from its ears the resounding flash of ignition is enough to stun and confuse its attackers, or prey, and in the confusion it swiftly digs to attack from underneath the unsuspecting prey. The other side effect of this flashy display is that its mane burns hotly until it decides to wallow in salt-rich mud to replenish the supplies of the mineral in its hair.
Thanks for joining me tonight meeting another potential resident for Wilderfeast! Don’t forget to come back tomorrow night to wrap up this week of farming and shifting soil before we kick off with another new adventure next week. And lastly, as always, don’t forget to roll with Advantage, The Brazen Wolfe
