Into the Blood Mine | New 3rd-Level Adventure for Fifth Edition
🕑 Added 2020-11-10 19:10:15 +0000 UTCInto the Blood Mine is a Fifth Edition adventure for four to six characters of 3rd-to-5th-level. Characters of 3rd or 4th level may have difficulty navigating some of the adventure’s challenges which requires stealth and smart thinking on the part of the heroes versus force. A party that successfully finishes the quest and retrieves the noble’s lover’s corpse should earn enough experience to earn half the experience needed to reach 4th or 5th level, or one-third of the experience needed to reach 6th level.
Backstory
A few years ago, a human jeweler from the south named Karst Fultane supplied a worthy sum of capital to a group of dwarves to tap into the Khol Tharum lode. Fultane correctly predicted the Khol Tharum lode would yield healthy deposits of the rare gem bloodstone. The first two years were a huge success for Karst as he saw his investment paid off in triplicate. Unfortunately, the dwarves dug too deep and tapped into something dangerous. While digging an expansion to the mine, they released a swarm of strange, multi-colored insects. Although the insects weren’t aggressive, their thick, gem-like hides made them impossible to kill. When provoked, their innate poison was enough to kill a fully grown reindeer. To make matters worse, the insects fed on gems. Within a matter of weeks, the buzzjewels—as the miners dubbed them—made mining bloodstone impossible. The dwarves abandoned the mine. Unfortunately, not everyone in the mine made it out alive. Fultane’s business partner, Anaya, was swarmed by the insects and poisoned to death. Because Fultane refused to send troops into the mine to reclaim it, Anaya’s body was never recovered. A year later, Anaya’s former lover, Raphail Manolou of Presson’s Enclave, wants the characters to enter the mine and recover whatever they can of Anaya so they can properly lay her to rest.

Hi, Dm Dave, do you have this on foundry?
Being a Patron doesn't get you the Roll20 version but they are quite cheap to buy there. Porting over the content is definitely possible, but you would need a copy of the Roll20 Monster Manual to get access to the tokens and monster "character sheets". Setting up the Dynamic Lighting is the most tricky part. I would say you are looking at a one-off $30 expense (for the MM) and several hours of your time to port it all over and test it out. Much better VFM to pay the $7 or so on Roll20 imho. YMMV.

Is it possible to get the roll20 version of the adventure by being a patron or is it easy enough to port over? I don't have much experience with roll20, bar your fantastic video in showing how you create encounters.
