Creatures of the Helwood (Under Umber Skies pt. 4)

Between the nearest road and the dungeon of Helmars lies the Helwood. The forest rots under the Umber glow of the magical miasma exuded by the dungeon, and everything that enters it is changed. Here is a d12 table of the creatures you might find within.

Two Things!

I liked Table Jam '26 so much I made a second entry! You can see my first one here or here, and if you were waiting for a sign to enter the jam, consider this it!!

Secondly, I keep working on Under Umber Skies. I just finished first drafts of the dungeon and pointcrawl maps this week, and plan to get them to a useable point in the next little bit. Once I've done that, you can expect previews of the full 15 location pointcrawl and the 30 room dungeon!!

Still In Work:

  • Converting the whole thing to Shadowdark, which I plan to be the system for the adventure.
  • Writing up a table to generate adventuring parties you meet along the way.
  • Another table for the effects of the miasma throughout the forest.
  • 1-3 custom classes based on the world found within.
