Toxic Wood
The Toxic Wood is a deadly wilderness adventure for Old School Essentials
This hexcrawl adventure focuses on game-able content and being easy to use at the table. It is graphic and art-heavy and utilizes a lot of random tables to make it easier for GMs to run with minimal prep.
"You have been hired by a secretive council of wizards, who refuse to meet in person with you, to rescue the survivors of Mugwort - a town which was thought to have been destroyed and lies deep within The Toxic Wood. The Wood is corrosive and the air is not safe to breath there, so the wizards have given you a magical orb which will create a safe dome of air around you. The orb must be fed with fuel containing life force to continue operating properly. They have also gifted each of you a less effective necklace which will create a temporary small bubble of clean air around your head as an emergency measure. The Wood became noxious a couple of years ago after a dragon known as Ion moved in. You will have to navigate to Mugwort without Ion noticing if you are to conduct a successful evacuation."
