Ancient Ruins Village

A village built atop ancient ruins! Nobody’s dared open the vault that sits in the village square … and your players might have to have a few fights to keep it that way — or to avert it!

Thoughts

• The main → ritual → laser → open variants can be used as a sequence, if you’re into phased plans.

Contents

• Ruins Village: The ruins village square in full color.
• Beach: A tropical village whose central area is flooded!
• Desert: The village has been built on stone, but it’s still flooded with sand!
• Dry: For your savannas, autumns, or droughts.
• Flooded: Either it’s wet season, or the crocodiles broke the dam.
• Open Door: The vault’s been opened. What’s inside? Or is it a known entrance to a dungeon?
• Open Door Plague: Really shouldn’t have opened that thing.
• Raid: Bandits, raiders, or a foreign king’s army has come to slaughter the whole village!
• Ritual Nexus: To absolutely nobody’s surprise, the giant obsidian obelisks aren’t just dormant decor.
• Ritual Nexus Laser: They’re actually the key to the vault.
• Winter: One word: Wendigos.
