Greetings folks! Deep down in the Lowerdark, after traversing countless tunnels, a druidic circle can be found. Getting here isn’t easy; the path seems to constantly change, and you always feel the eyes on your back. Although it appears to emanate its own mystic charming glow, the air here feels heavy and stale, revealing dark truth about this place. No one really knows what happened to Druids, who built this circle. Some say they were sacrificed in their own circle, but others say they are still here, protecting their sacred place. One thing is certain it gathers great magical power.
This week’s map is „Druid Circle„. Although the map is intended to be used mostly for mystical rituals or as an altar, it can also work for other Underdark encounters. The large surrounding stones certainly can be used to your tactical advantage or even provide some make-shift shelter.
Stock up on food, prepare some light sources and investigate the Underdark Druid Circle!
Adventure hooks:
- You came down here looking for some crystals and mushrooms for an alchemist but instead got wrapped up in Drow politics. The Drow Queen is going to be sacrificed in the Old Druid Circle. It all seems sketchy to you; the Drow Nobles aren’t acting like themselves. It looks like someone took control over them. After further investigation, you find out all the allegations against the Queen are false, and some demonic power is involved. If you want to save the Queen, you don’t have much time left. It’s only 24 hours till the execution, and the everlasting darkness of Underdark Caverns makes it even harder to keep track of time.
- Underdark Caverns aren’t the best place to find good food. Or any food, to be exact. After being here for what seems like a month, your party is desperate for some larger meal. Supplies are running low, and getting a bite every now and then just isn’t enough. All this glowing mushroom starts to look delicious… After a few bites, you begin to emanate this weird mushroomy glow, and your head feels heavy. You try to hide and wait it out, but the glow doesn’t make it easy.
- Hungry for mystical adventure, you venture out to Lowerdark to seek Druid Circle. After some hardship, you reach the Circle, but it is not so abandoned as people say. Myconids decide to make it their new home. You try to convince them that making a settlement in a possibly sacrificial altar is not a great idea. They don’t listen. Instead, they say they want to rule all of the Underdark.
