Dungeon: To Split the Mountain Wide

Renowned for it's beauty and magical reactivity, Thaliasite is a valuable mineral said to spring up where the tears of a sky goddess soak into the earth. When deposits are found, they're quickly mined to exhaustion.

Taking a gamble on of one of these near abandoned claims, a somewhat reckless alchemist has attempted to promote the growth of new crystal through an experimental process involving the channelling of elemental energies and a bit of bastardized geomancy which miraculously resulted in the growth of new crystals and the reopening of the mine.

Some weeks later however and it appears the process has worked too well as the slow initial recovery has given way to explosive new growth; splitting the mountain wide open and trapping several crews of workers in the depths of the mine. The party has been called in after rescue attempts were halted by rogue elementals, as well as attacks by grell from the nearby wastes drawn in by the arcane energies.

Adventure Hooks:

Need a quick starter for a badlands campaign? Have the party be made up of miners/locals from the nearby settlement who's livelihood depends on the reopened mine. No better team building exercise then rescuing innocents from a magically and structurally unstable cave system liable to cave in/explode at any moment.

This literal explosion of valuable material is going to have far reaching consequences, turning the little mining village into a boomtown over the next few months. This will bring all kinds of fortuneseekers, outlaws, and wandering mages out of the woodwork, to say nothing of the more otherworldly entities that will blow in on the wind.

While you could chalk the disaster up to the usual unreliability of alchemical experimentation, a party that digs around a little deeper and keeps a wary eye out may discover a conspiracy by the mineral combine that once owned the depleted mine. The ability to produce Thaliasite could be an economic gamechanger, and the combine is not above engineering a little accident if it means not only reclaiming their former property but also buying out the disgraced alchemist's formulas. If the party finds them out, the combine might just be willing to cut them in for a percentage, maybe make them overseers in their newly revitalized enterprise.

One of the miners the party ends up rescuing is a woman half conscious after getting caught in the shrapnel from the Thaliasite's explosive growth. After some weeks of recovery she rises from her sickbed and begins after asking the party. Apparently having shards of divinely attuned crystal stuck in her greymatter has gotten her in touch with the goddess, who uses her impromptu oracle to tell the party of a trial awaiting them in the near future.

“Did we just pull an Isekai?” 

“I mean, does it count if it’s practically just Ghostwriter’s usual shit, just more chaotic?” 

“Sam, this is like a game, look, we even have inventory overlays!” 

“Yeah but Tuck, I died so therefor I pulled an isekai, right?” 

“Shit, why does that make sense?” 

“Boys, perhaps actually look into your overlay there? Perhaps look at the map as well?” 

“... oh my Ancients, guys, we’re not the players, we’re going to be the bosses of this game.”

. . . 

“This is going to be so much fun guys.”

Greetings!

There's a city far to the west where the sands of time immemorial cover everything as far as the eye can see. In this beacon of civilization there's an exotic market where people from all over the Known World come over to acquire rare items of great value for the discerning customer.

Then again, there are also those who sell nothing but snake oil. Adventurers have to be very careful not to be deceived by those individuals who would like nothing more than to scam them from their hard-earned gold.

Oh, and did I not mention there are many chases through the streets because of this? Jumping from rooftop to rooftop trying to catch the slimy crook who just sold the party a magical deck of cards that turned out to be not so magical after all.

Can our heroes get a good deal on some exotic magical items? Or will they end up with a magical lamp that's only good for decorating their backpack?

Hello, everyone!

The battle is won. The giant sand-worm has finally been defeated, and your players are about to celebrate their well-earned victory.

But their cheering is cut short when an ambush of scavengers enters the scene. The group barely has any time to react, they're being attacked left and right.

The scavengers are already gathering the sand-worm's chitin for their wasteland armors, and some of the tired heroes are already being taken hostage, should the other ones want to intervene.

Let's hope the party can get out of this bind as well!

The creature tokens for this map are a Coyote, a Giant Scorpion and a Giant Worm. Emerald tier gets the Giant Scorpion while Diamond tier gets all three. In addition, Sapphire tier gets extra creature token variants.

when Bad asks Foolish and Baghera “yknow what you do when you’re upset?” and Foolish quietly goes “go out into a desert?” he shot me dead in my home.

Foolish, who spent all his time in the dsmp out in the desert building on his own, never really appreciated. who’s only community builds were never really used - a massive fuck off mansion for Tubbo and Ranboo in Snowchester they never moved into, Kinoko Kingdom which got more appreciation by Quackity, who hated it, than any of the meant to be residents, and the Among Us bunker that never saw the light of day. who’s only friends ended up executing him at a banquet, and the other blackmailing him into joining his city. but it didn’t truly matter - he had the desert to return to, and another massive project to build, even if it was just him around to appreciate it.

the desert was as beautiful as it was dangerous. it was not friendly, and it was not kind, but it was where he built his life. it was where he retreated to when everything else was shit.

and then, however many years later, he finds companionship in the qsmp. people love his builds, use his builds - but appreciate him for more than that. he sticks close instead of moving thousands of blocks away. he falls in love with Vegetta, then he takes care of his daughter. his beloved Leo. he learns another language so she doesn’t have to struggle with his, and they teach each other as they talk. he gets her everything she asks for even if he rolls his eyes and teases her for being spoiled, because he loves her, because he’d move heaven and earth for her. he tells her that she’s good, and that she’s shown him that there’s more to life than just being alone and building all the time.

and then Leo’s gone. and when the panic has settled and the realization that he can’t do anything hits, he goes and works on the titan. he builds and tries not to cry. for a short time, he goes and takes people exploring since they’re also online, and he tasks himself with distracting them to cheer them up (with the bonus of taking out his aggravation on monsters), and he can’t be upset if he’s with company. but lately they haven’t been around, and he’s mostly alone again - so he goes back to building. returning to hours and hours on his own, making more headway in a few days than he has in a month on his build.

he retreats to the desert. where he’s alone, where there’s nothing but him and the sand and his builds, where there’s nothing else in the world, because the rest of the world is unbearable.

#idk just the. when I’m upset I go to a desert. his whole time in dsmp was spent in a desert. go fuck yourself foolish gamers I can’t take it #his world is his little family and well. vegetta is gone. Leo is gone. him and Roier are on shaky terms right now tbh. what’s a man to do #also something about the revert into a more ruthless version of himself. the desert wasn’t friendly and he wasn’t either #he used to be feared. a killer. a god. a great builder who could burn villages to the ground. he’s been taking his aggression out in dungeon #but like he’s promised awful things if leo truly dies. so #when bad and foolish mention their ‘distant past’ in the dsmp 4731 dead 38294 injured #mcyt #qsmp #foolish gamers #q!foolish #c!foolish #character analysis #z speaks

Happy to share a new DUNE painting I made over the last few weeks!

Anyone planning to watch the new movie? I got my tickets for tommorow!

This is Paul Muad'Dib, The exiled young duke of House Atreides, and religious leader of the Fremen people of Arrakis, the desert planet. His unlikely destiny will influence the entire universe for generations to come.

This piece is quite different from how I usually approach my paintings: I went for a high contrast background, and a darker subject matter with a cooler color temperature. It was also fun to play with unlikely focal points, like the dark blue eyes from the spice, and a small vial of stored melange.

Love to know your thoughts on this one!

All the best,

JCH

Greetings!

The magnificent rocky formations of the desert loom over our heroes. The arid wasteland where they now find themselves doesn't seem to treat them kindly and supplies keep dwindling with every passing day.

Despite all that, the party of adventurers embarked on an adventure that will take them to a cave where, according to rumor, there exists an old buried treasure.

They're now outside the cave and to their surprise a peculiar merchant has set up shop right next to it. Selling all kinds of exotic goods the party takes the opportunity to stock up before what is sure to be a long spelunking marathon.

But is the merchant just that? Could something else be hiding in those nooks and crannies of desert rock?

Hello, everyone!

The excavation has been going quite well and many wonderful treasures have been found so far. But at last the last stages have revealed the true purpose of the dig: the entrance to a temple that was lost for countless years.

But that's not all. The brilliant minds leading the excavation have also found a mysterious coffin buried deep below. And now it's up to your players to decide what happens next.

The creature tokens for this map are a Cyclops Sage, a Devilish Troll and a Playful Rogue. Emerald tier gets the Cyclops Sage while Diamond tier gets all three. In addition, Sapphire tier gets extra creature token variants.
