Inns, Taverns & Hotels

Boutique Hotel

Sarrios Bay is a much-loved destination for tourists and holiday-makers. The natural terrain of the Epicoatl foothills combined with the view over the bay makes for a breathtaking vista. It is close enough to Dorran for the elite class to regularly travel to their weekend homes, and being situated along the major land and sea trade routes means there is no shortage of visitors.

As with any wealth-driven destination, there is also a strong undercurrent of criminal activity looking to siphon off some of the non-stop flow of gold. Many of the business owners are involved in or at least aware of the scams and cons being run on a daily basis, but so long as it doesn’t undermine their profit they are none too worried.

There are some enterprises however that would draw the ire of the Dorran guard were they discovered. Certain goods that are not allowed into the City are instead smuggled in around the bay and transported into the city via ‘mules’. Wealthy individuals who, willingly or not, will bring the valuable goods back into the city in their luggage, knowing full well that the guards are far less likely to search them than the regular citizens.

Inn of the Final Abode

Civilisation is scarce in the depths of Ylra Forest. It is all too easy to lose one’s way among the towering Valen trees whose immense scale warps any sense of distance or direction. Even those who know the forest well can find themselves disoriented, for the trees seem to shift and rearrange whenever they are out of sight.

A relatively safe route runs from the mirror-smooth waters of Lake Myrr to the tent city of Mehdin, though it is poorly marked and constantly changing. For those capable of following it, the only true refuge on the weeks-long journey is Ylragorn, a town suspended high among the treetops beyond the reach of the beasts that roam the forest floor.

At the heart of Ylragorn stands the Inn of the Final Abode, a favoured resting place for anyone foolhardy enough to brave the path. Many of its guests are beast hunters drawn to Ylra Forest in hopes of slaying one of the colossal monsters that dwell among the trees. Success can bring immense reward, but far more often the hunters simply never return.

Into the Wilds

Rooftop Tactical Tiles

These are a set of rooftop tiles that can be quickly laid out to create some interesting tactical corridors and lines of sight that could be used for a larger skirmish or battle, a sneaky infiltration where your party have to avoid being seen, or a variety of spaces to explore.

Hi-Res (Traveller+)

Lagoon Palace Exterior Scene

Following the festivities in the gardens, you try to make it back to your quarters in the guest wing. Stumbling through the various halls and courtyards, you are certain that you are hallucinating. Ethereal scenes of otherworldly beings dance around you in the moonlight, at times just barely flickering on the edge of your vision and at others so close and real you can feel their presence.

You catch a glimpse of your own reflection in the still surface of the lagoon only to gasp in shock as your features have also become that of the hallucinated beings. You trip and fall into the water only to start awake seconds later in your bed.

Premium 5e Adventures (Adventurer+)

The Borrowed Eye by Alex LeFort - 2nd to 4th Level

Deep within the deserts of Samarahd, the Temple of the Eye Resplendent has hosted a lineage of oracles who claimed descent from a legendary sphynx’s mortal consort. Now, centuries of tradition have been desecrated, as a lamia imposter has deposed the sitting oracle and installed herself in their place. Business is not quite as usual—every so often, a supplicant to the Temple disappears, feasted on by the lamia.

Can the party intervene to end this deceptive and murderous occupation before the sinister creature claims more lives? This adventure is set in Cartosia, but can be easily adapted to feature in any campaign setting featuring a desert oasis.

Premium PF2e Adventures (Adventurer+)

Mnestic Cysts by Alex LeFort & David N. Ross - 7th to 9th Level

Deep within the flooded caverns below the ruined settlement of Gweyir, an ancient aboleth named Vhil-Gaa suffers from a rare psychic affliction that calcifies its memories into physical, crystalline form. Its fraying mind projects hallucinations of ancient wars into reality, confusing friend for foe and turning its lair into an echo chamber of history. Can the party pierce the psychic turmoil to put the creature out of its misery, or will they attempt to barter for the forgotten secrets trapped within its growths?

This adventure is set in the world of Cartosia, but can be easily adapted to any campaign setting featuring a flooded caverns location below old ruins.

Swindler’s Shoe for 5e & PF2E

The gold lining of this dealer’s card shoe is inlaid with ornate pattern work that is meticulously well polished to a bright shine. A small and clever device on the side of the shoe functions to push a card up quickly when the top of the shoe is opened allowing for an easy draw at a moment’s notice. The back of this shoe is equipped with a sturdy leather belt loop that can be fastened on your waist for convenient access whenever a card needs to be drawn. Inside the shoe is what looks to be a deck of playing cards.

The Grifter for 5e & PF2E

Grifters are especially gifted in deception and will always seek to gain the upper hand regardless of how fair the game might seem. They know the odds and will work tirelessly to tip them in their favor whether that's through slight of hand or real magic. They're the perfect mixture of trickster and real magicians that will cover their tracks to make their games seem fair, though they never are.
