Taker's Well (Patreon)

Taker’s Well is a cursed site feared by locals, known for its dark legend. Travelers who toss coins into its depths seeking fortune or favor are said to vanish without a trace, their wishes swallowed along with their fate. Once a simple wishing well, it became infamous after a wealthy merchant disappeared, leaving only his empty cart behind. Some say an ancient spirit, bound to the well, collects souls as payment for long-forgotten debts. The overgrown well now stands as a chilling reminder: no wish made here comes without a deadly price.

Map Description:

What lies beyond the murky blackness of well dug too deep?

Taker’s Well lies in a shadowy ravine, its pools of treacherous water hidden beneath a thick, clinging miasma. Rightly feared by locals, the cavern below is littered with gold—the castoffs of countless wishes—dragged and hoarded by the creature that dwells within. For the bold or foolish, a tempting pile of coins gleams amid scattered bones, like a dragon’s hoard, but far more sinister. Blood still seeps through the grotesque remains, a warning of what’s been lost. Follow the coins down the well, if you dare—treasure waits for those with the stomach to claim it.

Notes:

• The subterranean caverns below are accessible only through the crumbling, ancient well shaft.

• Water pools within the caverns, its levels rising and falling with the rains—watch for sudden floods.

• Coins litter the ground, but a closer look reveals they trail deeper into the cavern's depths.

• An unnatural mist hangs heavy in the air, clouding vision and dulling the senses.

• The creature within has claimed more than just coins, dragging its spoils back to a hidden lair.
