Lately on EN5ider:
  • 606. Intriguing Organizations: Marginalia. This clandestine network of scribes, other artisans, and managers of royal affairs hide symbols for each other within their work to indicate the sanity and demeanor of their masters. A strange doodle in the corner of an illuminated manuscript is charming to most, but to the Marginalia it means the difference between a kind lord or murderous tyrant. Includes the Artistry Swarm (CR 3) and Royal Adviser (CR 4). Duplicitously designed by Andrew Engelbrite, illustrated by Hector Rodriguez.
  • 605. Adventure: Spare the Innocent. Warring between the nations around Geiryos faded four decades ago yet the conflicts have not yet entirely died out, skirmishes erupting as borders are finalized. While peace is long overdue and much cause for celebration, the war-weary peoples of the realms anxiously await what the end of conflict means politically. Excitement and paranoia are burrowing into the hearts of the masses, and the archmage of the king’s council believes the stage is set for him and his daughter to sweep in to provide a magical solution to the public’s unease. This adventure for 5–6 PCs of 6th level was dedicatedly designed by Tori Smith, illustrated by Hector Rodriguez, and features cartography by RhasmusDnD.
  • 604. Monstrous Menagerie: From the Blightwood. Venture into the aptly named Blightwood if you must but be wary for death lurks behind every one of its cursed trees! One must be fearful of running afoul of a Bog Witch (CR 5), wise to the signs of a Lamprey Shade (CR 1) or Lash-Tailed Scorpion (CR 4), and most especially cautious of the Soul Angler (CR 11) lest its hypnotic strands bring about an early demise. Dangerously designed by Marc Kenobi, illustrated by Hector Rodriguez.
  • 603. Dangerous Scenarios: Fly Away Darling. The tower of the dragon Bathyryxx takes off into the skies just as the adventurers step onto it! To defeat this monster the party must battle across multiple levels as they soar through the air, contend with its harpy minions, and survive (maybe even overtake) the many countermeasures prepared by its master. This Dangerous Scenario for 4–5 PCs of 6th level was death-defyingly designed by Tyler Omichinski, illustrated by Leonardo Sa, and features the cartography of Dyson Logos.
  • 602. Intriguing Organizations: Laughing Keepers. Taverns can be a good business but the Laughing Keepers have turned the art of hospitality into a profitable science—nary a city in the realm is without at least one of their alehouses. Everyone knows whether they walk into the Laughing Crow, Laughing Deer, or whichever other Laughing Keeper tavern is at hand that the prices will be as fair as the food, there's likely some work to be found, and that with a bit of gossiping among other patrons that rumors will abound. Decisively designed by Marc Kenobi, illustrated by Rachel Maduro.
