Dark Fantasy, Monster Hunting

Mournhollow

homtaro

Plagued by nightmarish creatures and sinister forces, each region harbors unique horrors.

Author's Note: W.I.P. Mournhollow is a grim and foreboding land shrouded in perpetual twilight. The landscape is dotted with decaying forests, abandoned villages, and ancient ruins where shadows whisper secrets of the past. This world is plagued by nightmarish creatures and sinister forces, with each region harboring its own unique horrors. The people of Mournhollow live in constant fear, seeking the aid of mercenaries and monster hunters to protect them from the darkness that encroaches on their lives. Mournhollow is designed as a world where danger lurks around every corner, and the line between hero and villain is often blurred. It is a realm where the brave or the desperate take up arms against the darkness. Inspired by the gothic horror themes of Ravenloft, Mournhollow provides a rich setting for stories of valor, betrayal, and survival. The mercenary gunslinger will find ample opportunities to take on contracts, from slaying monstrous beasts to uncovering ancient curses. Players are encouraged to delve into the moral complexities of their characters, exploring what it means to fight against the shadows, and what price they are willing to pay for their own survival.

Deck of Illusions

Uncommon•Gear (Wondrous Items)

Weight0.10 lb.

Description

This box contains a set of parchment cards. A full deck has 34 cards. A deck found as treasure is usually missing 1d20 - 1 cards. The magic of the deck functions only if cards are drawn at random (you can use an altered deck of playing cards to simulate the deck). You can use an action to draw a card at random from the deck and throw it to the ground at a point within 30 feet of you. An illusion of one or more creatures forms over the thrown card and remains until dispelled. An illusory creature appears real, of the appropriate size, and behaves as if it were a real creature except that it can do no harm. While you are within 120 feet of the illusory creature and can see it, you can use an action to move it magically anywhere within 30 feet of its card. Any physical interaction with the illusory creature reveals it to be an illusion, because objects pass through it. Someone who uses an action to visually inspect the creature identifies it as illusory with a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check. The creature then appears translucent. The illusion lasts until its card is moved or the illusion is dispelled. When the illusion ends, the image on its card disappears, and that card can't be used again. | Playing Card | Illusion | |---|---| | Ace of hearts | Red dragon | | King of hearts | Knight and four guards | | Queen of hearts | Succubus or incubus | | Jack of hearts | Druid | | Ten of hearts | Cloud giant | | Nine of hearts | Ettin | | Eight of hearts | Bugbear | | Two of hearts | Goblin | | Ace of diamonds | Beholder | | King of diamonds | Archmage and mage apprentice | | Queen of diamonds | Night hag | | Jack of diamonds | Assassin | | Ten of diamonds | Fire giant | | Nine of diamonds | Ogre mage | | Eight of diamonds | Gnoll | | Two of diamonds | Kobold | | Ace of spades | Lich | | King of spades | Priest and two acolytes | | Queen of spades | Medusa | | Jack of spades | Veteran | | Ten of spades | Frost giant | | Nine of spades | Troll | | Eight of spades | Hobgoblin | | Two of spades | Goblin | | Ace of clubs | Iron golem | | King of clubs | Bandit captain and three bandits | | Queen of clubs | Erinyes | | Jack of clubs | Berserker | | Ten of clubs | Hill giant | | Nine of clubs | Ogre | | Eight of clubs | Orc | | Two of clubs | Kobold | | Jokers (2) | You (the deck's owner) |
