[Free Build] Elf Delve

Elf Delve

 

Neddi was an elf who loved the sunlight and the soil. She tended to her garden with care and joy, using her knowledge of herbs and plants to create potions and remedies. But lately, her plants had been wilting and dying, afflicted by a mysterious blight. The only cure, she learned, was a rare ingredient: the luminaria fungus, a glowing organism that thrived in the darkest depths of the Nyx caves.

Reluctantly, she agreed to venture into the underground realm, accompanied by her two acquaintances: Rhalyf, a curious wanderer from the south, and Folgaen, a clever and daring warrior. They made their way through the winding tunnels, facing dangers and wonders along the way.

They reached a large cavern, where a small lake shimmered under the light of crystals. A water wheel turned slowly, powering a broken chain of gears. A wooden bridge spanned the lake, leading to a door on the other side.

Folgaen was the first to cross the bridge, confident and curious. He stepped lightly on the planks, humming a tune. But halfway across, he heard a loud crack. He looked down and saw one of the boards break under his feet.

As Folgaen falls towards the water, you hear him scream and see him grab the rope. You also see something else: a pair of yellow eyes emerging from the depths. Roll for initiative.

I created this delve for a LOLUG collaboration based on SquatchLUG’s Dungeon Delve, a Dungeons and Dragons themed modular build. This is a double-wide module.

I’ve included two figures worth mentioning. The first is Neddi the Elf Gardener, making her first reappearance since I created her for Hired Hands of Historica. The second is my Guilds of Historica sigfig, Rhalyf the Wanderer.

The lights and moving gears in this are really fun, and I like the way it's framed by the ups and downs of the cave.  Are we going to get a part 2?  Because you seem to have left us hanging
