Hideouts & Lairs
Thestwick Watch Ruins - A Collaboration with Borough Bound
The great fortress in the fen has been out of use for almost one hundred years. In that time, many of its outer walls have been picked clean, with the original stones of the construction repurposed for use in the town.
The total collapse of the fortress now seems inevitable, but no one can be sure how long it has left. In the meantime, the fragmenting keep is an omnipresent hazard. Thestwick’s new rulers have commanded the keep be safely dismantled, but all demolition parties sent within its walls have been attacked by an unknown assailant. No one knows exactly who is still protecting the keep, but it is rumoured that the previous Commander Sir Ranulf and his Squire Kenric somehow still protect the Watch a century after it was abandoned.

Kobold Ranger Caverns - A Collaboration with Night Owl Odysseys
It is commonly understood that kobolds not only derive from their much greater and often more powerful cousins, dragons, but that they revere the mighty winged beasts and often form rites of worship around them. Short-lived, impulsive, but ultimately clever and intuitively crafty creatures, kobolds can be a fierce enemy when defending the source of their adulation. But what happens when a group of kobolds is granted abilities much greater than usually seen in the diminutive, scaled creatures? Even more curious, what happens when they are inspired to do good?
The Cult of the Prismatic One is out to answer just that question, much to the amusement of their benefactor - Xyri’dan - a unique, prismatic dragon god who falls outside of the duality of chromatic and chromatic rivalries. They have manipulated and empowered their followers for the sake of their own enjoyment.

Troll Lair - A Collaboration with DMDave
The troll Zulgeteb and his minions have taken residence in caves underneath a bridge on an important trade route and use their position to ambush merchants and travellers. If the characters want to ensure that the road is safe once more, they must brave the traps and enemies within the caverns until they encounter Zulgeteb himself.

Into the Wilds - Dungeons 03
- Dungeon Treasury (Traveller+)
After what feels like days of travel through the dark tunnels, dodging traps and fending off hostile creatures, finally there is a worthwhile reward for all the effort. Piles of treasure, more than anyone could spend in a lifetime, but despite that you are inexorably drawn to the single glowing chest in the middle of the room. All else fades from importance, there is only the chest, and the wondrous anticipation of what it contains. - Tomb of Lost Souls (Traveller+)
Aside from a faint glow from the ever-burning torches, this room is shrouded in darkness. You take a few steps further in and suddenly small red lights start to appear around the room. One by one they flicker into being, the burning eyes of the lost souls. You turn to leave, but the doors slam shut locking you in. The Soulkeeper requires a sacrifice. - Water Portal (Traveller+)
Of all the things you expected to find in the depths of the dungeon, a swirling vortex of water was low on the list. Do you dare take the plunge not knowing where it might lead, or if you will even survive? Perhaps the ethereal shapes in the basins around the room will give some hints. - Modular Dungeon Connectors (Traveller+)
This dungeon seems to go on and on forever. No matter how many areas you clear, traps you disarm or puzzles you solve, there is always one more hallway, one more room. Almost as if someone is building and adding to it as you go..... - Dungeons 03 Free Bundle (Free)
