D24.256 Mount Sackwick

-
A strange subterranean mountain spanning 1700ft in radius, that soars 9000ft high. The mountain is densely vegetated by various types of reeds and canes that increasingly grow in stiffness and durability the higher one goes. In the mountain are numerous caverns where various troglodytes armed in weapons and armor made of cane or reed.

Every 2000ft climbed, the weight one feels is increased twofold, making movement extremely difficult unless one is sufficiently strong. Spending a month training may improve one's strength, with time taken doubling every breakthrough.

These master riders seek larger prey from hunting Mudtoads at the lower strata of the Stalks.

At this point the flowers release an infectious pollen which spreads by air to infect others.

D24.185 Prison of the Lothgem

-
Lothgem, a hideous uncut spinel the size of a fist levitating above a tarnished silver pedestal, surrounded by walls made of mosaics of precious jewels depicting praying Dwarven monks.  It is dull to the point it darkens the light about it. When held, it repels all manner of jewels, crystals and precious stones, and may even repel magical precious stones when on a 1 of a 1d6 roll.  The Lothgem is sentient but reticent, and utterly despises all creatures who wear any sort of precious jewelry, and may forcefully repel such creatures adornments depending on its whims. Conversely, it likes the company of tarnished, rusty or scratched stones and may decide to accompany those adorned by them.
