Underground Land Bridges Labyrinths

A fantasy setting where the major land masses are linked by a network of underground labyrinths could be fun to craft. Let try to generate one with 3 major land masses.

1. Natural network of caves. 
2. Crafted by giant ants or termites or other burrowing creatures. 
3. Crafted by an ancient human civilization using long forgotten magic or tech.
4. Crafted by an ancient near human civilization (dwarfs, trolls, elves, etc). 
5. Crafted by an ancient non human civilization (myconids, demons, neo otyugh, etc). 
6. Divine creation, crafted by an ancient divine entity.  

Paths (d6) 

1. Single path 
2. Single path, with two complications 
3. Two paths  
4. Two paths, one with two complications

3. Infested by a swarm of creatures
4. Lair of a large and dangerous creature
5. Sealed a long time ago (locked doors that seal forgotten rooms and dangers)

3. Guides safe houses 
4. Trade post or community of humans and underground species 
5. Guild houses (cartographers, geologists, prospectors, etc) 
6. Military outpost or Knight Order fort holding up against underdark creatures 
   

Now let establish 3 land masses and why their seas are hard to navigate. 

• Northern Lands (sea is often frozen) 
• Southern Lands (sea plagued by giant sea serpents) 
• Eastern Lands (frequent storms and tsunamis) 

The North-South Labyrinth 

• Crafted by an ancient human civilization who used forgotten geomantic magic.

I drew a dungeon using Isometric Blanks, a small isometric maps zine that Geoff offer to print with Zine Quest 3. 

I will maybe try to describe the rooms more in details the next time I procrastinate. 

The Sad Blue House

EDIT: E.K. Hill kindly assembled my blog post into a PDF

Sometime ago a blue skinned teenager was found naked in a field, the villagers where not certain if it was a boy or a girl but they still befriended this strange kid. The blue teenager was happy for a while but a some horrible event happened and the teenager used their divine powers to save the village. Everything changed afterward, people started to worship the teenager, to fight between themselves to get his or her favor. The teenager was afraid as this worship brought back memories of their former divinity and the teenager wanted nothing of it. One day the tension between two factions of the newly formed cult fought together and someone was gravely wounded. The blue teenager had a meltdown, they curled into a ball in the grass and screamed "NO!", their divine power fully awakened and they transformed all the villagers into walls, rooms and doors that formed a house around the teenager, cutting them from the world. The divine teenager now hide the house, scared of what they have done and of what they are, afraid to venture back into the real world.

Maybe the blue teenager was a deity that fled their pantheon, maybe because they ran away from their divine duties, a divine conflict or maybe they decided to transition, it is hard to know...

Rumors now circulate about a abandoned village and a strange house that is sad. Some adventurers dared to venture into the house and brought back some treasures or strange tales. Maybe the characters had family or friends in that village. (If you are running a one shot, maybe they were former servitor of the blue deity).

The houses of the village are now abandoned. Some of them look like their occupants suddenly vanished. One small shed have been upgraded into a small house, gifts and offerings have been deposed around it but things of value have already been looted. Not far away from that small house, near the edge of the village, there is a large and strangely shaped blue house that have human like features. This house is the transformed villagers, inside the divine teenager hide away from the world. Anyone who enter the divine house is protected from divination and scrying powers, they vanish even from the sights of divine beings.

Maybe some vagrants camp in one of the village's abandoned houses.

Dungeon Gatherers

These wise and old women know how to gather all kind of stuff from dungeons. When they settle near a dungeon, this is usually good news as they will tame the dungeon until they move to the next one.

They know the old language of all things and their favorite songs. These secrets let them navigate the dungeons, haggle with any of it denizen and negotiate with it traps. "Oh poor rusted lock, don't spit your needle, I will sing you the song that make you shiny again."

They never take gold or treasures from dungeon but they sometimes move it around or hide better to please the dungeon denizens. They collect instead all kind of useful and quirky objects that they will later trade with villagers.

They travel around in colorful caravans, they visit villages built near dungeons, asking questions about the dungeon and often receive gifts from villagers. They set up their camp near a dungeon and discuss with it main entrance and with nearby creatures to better know the dungeon history and it personality. "This is one is a sad and grumpy dungeon." They will befriend and harvest the dungeon for a whole season before moving on to the next one.

The Gatherers only fear bandits and other brutish humans but it is ill advised to menace or trouble them as they are in good relations with all sort of creatures and their caravans are often guarded by pet mimics.  

When they visit a village, the Dungeon Gatherers will accept any outcast women, cis or trans who want to join their caravan to become a apprentice. Sometime outcast men also join their caravan but they are rarely initiated.

HD: d6

Armors: none

Abilities

The Old Tongue

This language let you speak with items, animal and monsters. When you speak with something it remember the language and forget it afterward. The only beings it have no effect on are humans. This let the dungeon gatherers speak and make reaction tests with nearly anything, including doors, traps, items, etc. 

The Ancient Etiquette

Learning the Ancient Etiquette take years of apprenticeship. It teach you how to properly address all things and grant a point bonus to reaction tests at level 3 and 7. It also let you test your Intelligence score to anticipate what a item or monster would require as a service to help you. 

The Songs of Mending 

These old songs let you mend things. To figure the proper words to sing you have to make a wisdom test. Some older and stubborn things are harder to mend and inflict a penalty. You can only use these song on something that is well disposed toward you.  

Listen! 

When things go badly you can strike the ground with your staff and everyone will stop fighting or arguing to listen to you. You can call upon this power once a day and once a night. Gatherers refer to these as the Midday Strike and the Midnight Strike. 

Bargaining 

You deal a hard bargain, especially when you trade with villagers and you roll with advantage when you make bargain related tests. You never bargain anything for gold or coins. 

Everything is of value

The whimsical things you gather in the dungeon award you experience points if your game system award XP for gold. Gold belong to the dungeon and should not be looted. Looted dungeons are angry and harder to discuss with. 

Mimic's affection

Wild mimics seem to be found of the Gatherers and on a good reaction they will follow them around for a day. After that they will get lazy and sleep. Mimics that venture out of their dungeon sometime join the caravan as a pet. 

A other take on the mimics companionship from the comments: "people would be absolutely frightened to know how many mundane objects they use almost on a daily basis are actually "inert" mimics. dungeon gatherers know how to gently sing them awake. once per day (or something like that) dg can awaken a mimic from its inert state. there must be suitable object nearby for this to work. awakened mimic will be grateful and will serve the dg that sung it into awareness for a day before wandering off to do mimicy things."

Tomb of the Seamstress

Tomb of the seamstress

This is a small dungeon designed to be included in a sandbox. There is a good chance that a group won’t be able to pass the first door without some history between two characters. Maybe the players will get the hint and will come back later when a bond have grow between two of them (or players being players, they will kidnap two lovers and force them to open the doors...).
