Lately on EN5ider:
  • 588. Monstrous Menagerie: Alchemical and Arcane Contamination. For every successful wizard experiment or intensive magical study there are dozens of failures first—sometimes resulting in unintended creations! This entry in the Monstrous Menagerie series features a trio of creatures that might emerge from an alchemist's laboratory or mage's study: the artificially-immortal gestalt mage (CR 16), thirsty but feisty living cauldron (CR 4), and the entangled magic-begotten spell knot (CR 5). Dauntingly designed by Marc Kenobi, illustrated by Yeysson Bellaiza.
  • 587. Feats: Paths of the Elements. Elemental feats tap into the primordial forces of nature, granting adventurers unique abilities that reflect their connection to the elemental planes. Whether by conjuring flames, riding the winds, shaping the earth, or commanding the waters, practitioners of these feats can alter the course of battles and undertake heroic deeds that echo through legend. Deftly designed by Robert Adducci, illustrated by Leonardo Sa.
  • 586. Intriguing Organizations: Enlightened Order of Lanous. This secretive and widespread group of saboteurs live by two creeds: a worthy mind should not be held in bonds and to bow to no mortal. So it is that the Enlightened Order of Lanous maintains many archives and libraries, using their influence to spread knowledge and undermine tight-fisted tyrants in realms the world over (from hidden lodges each protected by owl-like CR 8 lanoia constructs). Dedicatedly designed by Marc Kenobi, illustrated by Leonardo Sa.
  • 585. Adventure: Crime Never Pays. Falkenberg merchant Gideon Speltz’s house has been burgled and he is desperate to reacquire some of the stolen items, posting fliers in all of the city's ale houses offering a reward for catching the miscreants. Chasing down the thieves responsible (the Shallowpot Street Kings) reveals what the wealthy trader actually wants to get back and the true treasure at the heart of it all. This adventure in Elissar for 4–6 PCs of 2nd level was discreetly designed by Thomas Pugh, illustrated by Francita Soto, and features the cartography of Russ Morrissey and Adela Quiles.
  • 584. Villain Spotlight: Gadabout the Planar Highwayman. One little fellow, one little demand, and what do you get? An endless parade through the planes because you've crossed paths with the one and only Gadabout, Planar Highwayman (CR 9) and sadist extraordinaire. This rampant thief's unending quest means he needs your coin and your relics—give them up or prepare to journey through the hells, hostile realms, and fretful kingdoms until you're ready to turn it all over. Dimensionally designed by Andrew Engelbrite, illustrated by Wootha.
