[QUOTE="chutup, post: 5851498, member: 6690844"] And because that's not really a new piece of content: [B]The Cornfields (03.30)[/B] This area is covered in ripe fields of corn which seem to grow all year round. The farmers of this crop dwell in a small and dusty village at the centre of the hex. Insular in the extreme, they are also dangerously hostile to anyone who they think they can defeat. However, a show of force will easily cow them into submission. The corn farmers drug and kidnap unlucky adventurers who pass through their town. They then steal all their victims' posessions and, bizzarely, pull out all their teeth, before dumping them in the nearby Thorny Gulch. The teeth are ground up and used to fertilize the corn crops; each corn has a different property depending on the type of tooth. Molar-corn, for example, grants the ability to crush objects between one's palms. Corn from wisdom teeth is used by shamans of the corn people, though its exact properties are still a secret. It is a strange fact of the corn farmers that they consider teeth to be a rich treasure, but have no use for gold or magic items. These objects make them a target for bandits who are rife in the area, so they dispose of them by dropping them down the old well in 04.31. There, the treasure is consumed by the sentient black sphere known as the Nothing. One would assume that such treasure is irretrievably lost. However, Dormond of the Crooked Oak returned to the Shuttered City(29.14) bearing a single gemstone of unique colour but relatively low value. He claimed that he had traced this gem's lineage from the Hoard Bank to a party of adventurers lost in the southwest over a century ago. This was proof, he claimed, that matter could be retrieved from within the Sphere. Before he could explain more, however, he disappeared. Hooks: - What other types of corn can be grown, and who would pay for them? - Tell me more about the bandits of the southwest. - There must be an incredible treasure hoard hidden inside that Sphere! But how to get it out? - What's in Thorny Gulch? Will adventurers survived being dumped there naked and unarmed? (In my first draft of this, the corn people just murdered their victims. But that was a bit too grim, and I like the idea of a whole party of toothless players who are... [I]gumming [/I]for revenge!) [/QUOTE]
