Caverns of Cynder Otherworld Conditions

The Caverns of Cynder

+ All Heroes are +1 Max Determination while in the Caverns of Cynder
- Intense Heat At the start of a Heroes Activation, they take 1 Hit for each piece of clothing they are wearing.

Luciel - 0 per turn
Fear - 0 Hit per turn without helmet

Danger! Exposed Lava

! While in the Caverns of Cynder, Heroes must be aware of exposed Lava. Lava spaces are indicated by Orange text and a glowing outline. Each Lava Space has it's own dodge value, written below.

When moving through a lava space, a hero rolls 1d6 (2d6 if they have 4+ Agility). If their roll is equal or higher then the dodge value of that space, they successfully navigate the lava without incident. If they fail, that hero takes 1-3 Burning Markers. Enemies are not affected by Lava Spaces unless a Hero forces an Enemy into a Lava space (e.g. using an item or ability).

Burning Markers: At the start of a creatures's turn, if that creature has burning markers, one of the burning markers is removed and that creature immediately takes 2 damage without a defense roll.

Lava Spaces:

B5 - Dodge 5+
B8 - Dodge 5+
B11 - Dodge 2+
B12 - Dodge 2+
B17 - Dodge 2+
B18 - Dodge 2+
B21 - Dodge 5+
B24 - Dodge 5+

Movement: Reminder: You may spend a DT to gain bonus movement.

Luciel is OOM.

Broken Seals

Broken Seals

---

---

Objective: Repair the Broken Seals.

Something has awoken deep in the Caverns of Cynder, an ancient evil hellbent on the destruction of the world. All it wishes for is to be free of it's hellish prison, but should it escape...

Recent expeditions into the Caverns of Cynder have left the seals vulnerable and weakened. These seals are what hold it in it's fiery tomb. Massive quakes shake the earth to it's very core as towns around the entrypoint collapse into pits of fire that have erupted in the desert floor.

The seals must be repaired before it is too late.

Reward: Based on chosen Mission Length - Each hero gains 25 xp and 2 loot cards per seal in the mission. If The End Times mission length is played, each Hero gains 1-3 Health/Sanity (any mix) permanently for saving the world.
Failure: Each Hero permanently loses 1-3 Health Sanity (any mix). If the End Times mission is played, the Heroes have destroyed the world. So we can do this if needbe, but I kind of like the idea of y'all blowing up their world, so I might keep it cannon for that Posse. Up for discussion though - Only leaping into a parralel dimension Gate can save them from being destroyed along with it, but they must live the rest of their lives knowing what they wrought.

Conditions

Conditions

This mission starts in the Cavern's of Cynder.

Tokens are drawn differently. Depending on the Adventure length, the initial tile drawn has the choice of 1-3 exits. Each of those exits have 3 Exploration Tokens assosciated with them, of which only 1 is a clue.

Everytime a Clue is found, the Heroes have found a Broken Seal. Any Hero starting their activation on a Map Tile with a Broken Seal on it automatically takes 1 Corruption Hit from the void energies swirling around it.

Repairing a Seal - A Hero adjacent to a seal may attempt to fix it by giving up their attack action. They must make a Lore 6+ test. If passed, the Hero gains 50 xp and the Seal is repaired.

There are no Gates.

Heroes are experiencing Immediate Dread - Growing Dread cards are revealed instantly.

Quickening Pace of Darkness - Whenever the Darkness moves forward, it moves 1 extra space per each Broken Seal that has already been repaired.

Round 3

The Darkness stirrs! @Majoras End Lanternbearer, spend a DT to reroll double 2s? NOTE: Failure to do so will result in something bad happening...

---

---

Void Spiders drop down from the ceiling and ambush you!

Initiative:

Void Spiders: 6 + 2
Scarecrow & Xander: 5
Scrooge & Jimbob Dread: 4

A Spider swipes at Scrooge from the air as it descends, missing wildly. As it touches down it lunges for a bite on his leg, but he nimbly dodges out the way and squarks at his assailant. The next Spider is far more ferocious, swiping at Scrooge twice, but he is ready and flaps out of range.

The next spider throws itself wildly at Jimbob Dread, missing completely. A second spider propels itself off the wall, but Dread merely sidesteps.

Scarecrow and Xander are swarmed from the nesting room.

Disceptibly nimble for his huge hulking frame, Scarecrow contorts his body at impossible angles. Four spiders swarm him but only four hits get through, and each one seems to miss him by miles.

Xander is lucky, only two attacks coming his way - but a bite on the arm lands, the teeth sinking into him for 2 Damage! Reroll failed defense save?

- Frigid Cold Move rolls of 1 do 1 automatic damage with no defense roll.

In Play Room Effects

B Room, A Frozen Path - Cracked Ice

As the Posse walk across the street, they begin to hear crackign sounds beneath them. The ground here is unstable, and groans under your weight!

Any time a Hero moves, they must either pay 2 movement per space or roll a d6. On a roll of 1 or 2, the ground collapses beneath them. Take 1-6 Wounds without defense as you take a dip in the frigid water!

Jamie nimbly navigates the thin ice, her years of a Saloon Girl coming in handy.

Tim makes up for in care what he loses in dexterity and decides it's better to be safe then sorry.

Hawkeye Harold can no longer outrun his Outlaw father as quick as he likes, but he's still going to try.

Meanwhile, Hawkeye Horace fills his bags with Dynamite. Despite not paying attention to where he is walking while handling homemade explosives, he is totally fine.

Another Frozen Path

It's unclear exactly what is in there...

Deputy Hawkeye Harold may reveal the room immediately or the room will reveal automatically at the end of the turn. Anyone who moves to B27 can also reveal the room this turn. As Deputy Hawkeye Harold peers into the room...

@PrinceAlexus Use shackles to Redraw token - Ambush 2 Exits?

think i blooped the ping again...

My Map (Beginner, Questions inside)

it's really coming together!

One suggestion (and hey, this is just my personal preference!) is you might want to desaturate the green colour or/and add a texture to the overall map (like a grain texture for the grassland OR a paper texture over the top of the map) Can be finicky though so up to you if it's wroth it.

Here are some pretty awesome resources:

Stratomunchkin's Tutorial - comprehensive pdf download
Djekspek's tutorials - he has a library FILLED with individual stuff so have a shuffle through if you like.
Anything by these sexy people Like holy smokes, pretty much everything you could need.

I don't know how many future maps you plan on making, but theres this great book by Jerald Blando called "How to draw Fantasy Art & RPG Maps" which goes through every little thing piece by piece if that's your jam. I doubt you need to go that far, but I thought I might as well mention it :p
