The Hulking Abomination -Level 5 Adventure - ft. Victor Escalante (Patreon)

Denizens of the Tower! This adventure supplement is a special collaboration with a Patreon creator we feel fortunate to call a friend, Victor Escalante from Monstrous Tokens. For this adventure, he has provided three awesome umber hulk illustrations to enhance the feel of this supplement. We invite you to check out Monstrous Tokens' Patreon page.

In The Hulking Abomination, a group of level-6 adventurers hears of the plight at Greentower. A famous archaeologist and his entourage got lost in the mining site and no one seems to know what happened. Three hunters volunteered to delve into the caverns to find them but only one of them returned. The man came back telling the strangest of tales about a giant scarab monster.

When the characters explore the caves, they find a colony of giant wolf spiders that work alongside an elder horror of the underworld, the umber hulk. The strange insect uses its confusing gaze ability to wreak havoc among trespassers. Such was the fate of the hapless archaeologists. Nonetheless, if the characters hurry and prove themselves as valiant warriors, they may still yet save some of the lost individuals!

This is a level 6 adventure where the adventurers explore an ancient archaeological site, fight a strange creature from the underworld, and get the opportunity to obtain regionwide renown and popularity.

Here's a close-shot of the adventure's layout:

Collaborator

My name is Vic and I like 3 things: drawing, monsters, and D&D. I'm a big fan of the old school black and white, hatching heavy art style from the 80s but also of the more soft and colorful art of today. Then I thought: wouldn't it be awesome if there were tokens or minis using an art style that combines the best of both worlds?

With this in mind, I decided to start drawing tokens of some monsters, using the original art of each as an inspiration and combining them with some cool details from their modern counterpart. And, sooner than later I had the idea of creating this Patreon because I know I can't be the only one who would like such a thing.
