The Scattered Islands (Patreon)

A scattering of rocky islands offers a perilous, but possible, crossing across a burning lake...

Vladir Winters is the artist behind this map and its colorful variants, placing each islet carefully in order to cause your players the most stress possible. Even without monsters mixed in, the crumbling stone and awkward obstacles makes this map an encounter all by itself.

Instead of a 'dark' or 'night' variant, Vladir cooked up an alternate version of broiling, liquid mana; in my world, mana flows through the ground in much the way that lava does, and it also has a similar effect on the human body! Perhaps a skilled spell caster can harness it, though...

We'd love to hear of your encounter ideas in the comments below! How would you handle the jump checks? Are there any monsters lurking nearby? What might the blue ooze be in your world?
