As we’ve posted before, our Enhancing Kingmaker series adds encounters to your game to fill out some of those empty hexes. Today we bring you the Fallen Oak Tree.
And as always, be sure to grab our Pathfinder 2e products at DriveThruRPG.
Add the following rumor about the Rostland Hinterlands:
“There used to be a massive oak tree that grew in that region. It was so huge, you could see the top of it 10, maybe 20 miles away. On a clear day, you could see it from the Border Road in Rostland. I haven’t seen it in a few years. I wonder what happened to it.”
Add this to the hex between RL3 and RL5.
RL7. Fallen Oak Tree Severe
Standard
The remains of a massive oak tree lie in the grounds of the plain. The roots came out of the ground with it when it fell over, leaving behind an enormous hole that has since been filled with rainwater. A DC 15 Nature check reveals that the tree probably fell because of high winds. A DC 20 gains that no amount of natural winds could have knocked over a tree of this size unless the ground was too weak to hold it. The wood has been in contact with the ground for so long it has rotted into near uselessness.
Creatures: Numerous bugs and creatures have taken up residence in the remains of the tree. Among them are a nest of bloodseekers, which attack when the adventurers get close.
Level 1: Bloodseekers (6, B1)
Level 2: Bloodseekers (8, B1)
