<h2>$ MINING VILLAGE</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Rich in copper veins, but inexplicably abandoned, the island has become the
|
||
destination for miners from all over the region.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The dock.</strong> The bay’s cramped inlet presents the only
|
||
possible dock for boats and small ships. During the night, however, the
|
||
ground shakes and restless ghosts pour across the streets, imploring the
|
||
miners to leave the island.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The dig site.</strong> The miners’ countenances, marked by
|
||
constant toil, betray their growing concerns, but
|
||
<em>Baron Darius</em> (minor Villain) feverishly pushes them to keep
|
||
mining copper. What does he crave (or fear) even more than the ghosts? Who
|
||
among the miners is a familiar face for the PCs?
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The Baron.</strong> Descended from a local noble family,
|
||
<em>Darius the Boastful</em> craves fame and power. Driven by a desire to
|
||
emulate the deeds of his ancestors (or fearing to let his lineage down),
|
||
he strong-armed the population into working without pause, challenging and
|
||
defeating the specter haunting Candle Bay.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The Centipede.</strong> Made sluggish by the magical purifying
|
||
properties of copper veins present in the rock, a gigantic monster with
|
||
almost impenetrable hide has slept under the island for centuries. When
|
||
challenged, it unleashes seismic magic; its carapace regenerates each
|
||
round and it can also separate parts of its body, which act autonomously
|
||
in the form of soldier-rank enemies.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>THE SEVEN-TAILS’ FOREST</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
At the top of the hill, an ancient cemetery hosts the souls of the departed.
|
||
At its center stands a great cherry tree, apparently weak and dying. A dark
|
||
aura seeps from the earth and small will-o-wisps dance among the tombs,
|
||
under the light of distant stars.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Natsuki.</strong> In ancient times, the fox-demon Natsuki haunted
|
||
the island. Attempts at fighting them all proved futile, until they fell
|
||
in love with the young Soh and swore never to harm another human as long
|
||
as he remained at their side. Determined to save his people, Soh bravely
|
||
accepted this bond – his spirit still roams the forest, now only a pale
|
||
blue flame. Did he regret his decision?
