Lately on EN5ider:

• 488. Mini-Adventure: Eruption Temple. The adventurers have beaten back a resurging tornado, put stop to the crystallization of an arctic entity of epic scale, and fought a living storm—then the dreams of flames begin, inexorably drawing them towards the far reaches of untamed mountains and possibly their doom. Once they have found Eruption Temple should the party fail to stop the machinations of the fiery avatar Derxan within these prophecies of mortals ended in cinders will spread across the face of Elissar to claim lives untold! Disputatiously designed by Mike Myler as the fourth part of an Elemental Adventure Path (following EN5ider #487 – MA: Storming Wrathua), illustrated by Riptaid, and featuring cartography by Dyson Logos and Russ Morrissey.
• 487. Mini-Adventure: Storming Wrathua. A storm like no other rages in the distant Hinterlands with no sign of stopping any time soon—for this is no anomaly of weather but a living tempest. The adventurer Frida Montesro has learned this the hard way and fights an impossible battle against the furious elemental, unaware that unless others intervene it will stop at nothing to kill her and then slay everything else it can find! Daringly designed by Mike Myler as the third part of an Elemental Adventure Path (following EN5ider #482 – MA: Void Chrysalis) set in Elissar, illustrated by Ikcaruz, and featuring cartography by Dyson Logos and Russ Morrissey.
• 486. Monstrous Menagerie: Perils of the Sky. Why should adventurers be bound to terra firma or the seas, delving below the earth into dungeons or out upon the oceans for plunder—why not take to the skies instead? This article reviews the many denizens of the air from elves to gnomes or warlords, introducing two new CR 7 aerial threats: the psionic brainstorm and hunting caelumos! Driftingly designed by Anthony Pryor, illustrated by Erik Davis Heim.
• 485. Dangerous Scenarios: Bulette Spawning. Something’s gone awry in the town of Meadowbridge—cattle lay slaughtered in the field, houses are locked tight, and its halfling denizens are holed up in the Haystack Inn. What troubles them? A bulette matriarch (CR 8) beneath the settlement that’s spawning bulette hatchlings (CR 3) that are eating up all the small folk they can find! Dynamically designed by Marc Kenobi, illustrated by Phil Stone, and featuring the cartography of Dyson Logos.
• 484. Adventure: Isle Slithers. Far removed from the mainland of Elissar, the people of Leapsheep rarely have any need for adventurers. Their recent troubles are unprecedented however, and in their desperation they’ve reached out to a noble on the mainland to hire help. They couldn’t have done so soon enough: the mysterious abductions plaguing the island are happening more and more frequently. To save Leapsheep Isle the party must explore this far flung bastion of civilization in the face of a diabolical threat as they reforge an ancient ritual to seal away an evil long forgotten. Includes a dire slitherer (CR 5), seaswarm (CR 2), slitherer (CR 3), and slitherer supreme (CR 14). This adventure for 4–5 PCs of 9th level was dubiously designed by Mike Myler, illustrated by Anastasia Emelyanova, and features the cartography of Dyson Logos.
