A rural outpost established to patrol the surrounding countryside and keep roads safe - and ensure that local taxes are paid on time and in full. It's a simple defensive structure, consisting of a ten foot stone curtain wall, barracks, and a square, two story tower with battlements. It is unlikely that it would withstand any serious attack or siege, but is sufficient to defend against peasant uprisings and local banditry. The garrison consists of three squads of soldiers (5 men + a sergeant in each) led by a single officer.

I reach out to you from the ether to announce that the project I am doing illustration for has officially launched! The Deck of Monsters 2!
It's a deck of 53 new and original monsters compatible with Monster of the Week!
Stop me if you've heard this one. An independent career focused woman gets lured to a small town that's way too into Christmas. She meets a generic, yet handsome, man who shows her the meaning of the season and they end up falling in love. She quits her job, divorces her fiancee, and lives the rest of her life in this happy Christmas town. This is propaganda and these innocent women are his marks. These monsters feast on stolen ambition before forever trapping their victims in a holiday hellscape they can never hope to escape from.
Creatures that are literally spineless, Yesmen inhabit the highest echelons of capitalist society. They have always infiltrated human power structures to push for, and enable, greater and greater atrocities that cause greater and greater human suffering. It just so happens that in the modern world they choose to be corporate vice presidents to have easier access to morally compromised mortals. They're just so easy to direct towards enacting harm on their fellow humans,  after all. Nothing to read into about that. The system works.
We got a bunch more monsters in this deck that are illustrated by a team of sure shot artists and yours truly!
You can also peruse through the myriad horrors and use them for other tables tops and scenarios! The Kickstarter is live today and at it's top tier YOU can play as horrific creator and work with us to create a monster that is included into the deck!
Purpose: introduce characters to the Concept of Alchemy, have a knowledgable alchemist for later on
Enwel:
Can be found: as the party enters an inn, she is talking to the innkeeper about a room for the night
General: female, half elf, good, 25
Appearance: dressed like most commoners; a large cloth bag is strapped around her shoulder-with each of her movements you hear the clinkering of some type of glass objects coming from the bag; you notice that she is leaning on a chair in front of the reception desk, putting most of her weight on the left side; her hair is blonde and reaches her shoulders
Backstory: Has been trying to study magic for a few months but she noticed that it wasn't really for her. Her father, an elf named Irassal, has managed to teach her some cantrips (Mending, Shape Water) but she failed at the spells. She wants to study alchemy instead and is looking for a mentor.
Further information, if Enwel trusts the PCs: Enwel has been suffering from severe joint pains since she was 19 and while her father wasn't able to cure the condition completely, he could linder her pain. Enwel wanted to learn to take care of herself, which is why she initially asked her father to teach her magic. She had left her home 2 weeks prior to look for an Alchemist who could brew a potion and also teach her the recipe. Furthermore, she thinks that being an Alchemist is something she would really enjoy and could also manage to do with the right accomodations (potions) for her illness.
[The condition can be compared to arthritis. Enwel shouldn't be portrayed as weak, she just has a disability and is learning how to live with it.]
(retired) Alchemist in Town: Sinderion
Can be found: in a closed potion shop at the edge of town. Only locals know that he is still in there brewing potions, so the PCs will have to ask around to get this information
General: male, human, lawful [good or evil], 65-70 years old
Appearance: Looks quite old; bald with a patchy white beard; he is very short and skinny, but his hands and arms are very muscular; The sleeves of his long green robe are cuffed in order to free his forearms and they are secured in place with leather straps; There are no traces of alchemy work on his person, he looks very clean and so does his shop.
Quest: Sinderion is willing to brew the Potion for Enwel and teach her the recipe. However, if she wants a full education in alchemy, he requires a favor. He has been working on a potion for a long time and is missing an ingredient that is hard to come by: [Insert any Monster Body part that fits your campaign].
Due to her condition, Enwel isn't able to adventure.
[Lawful Good Sinderion] Enwel brings up the unfairness of his request, upon which he will be embarassed for not thinking about how unlogical it was. He then asks Enwel another favor (talking to some merchants in town to find someone who sells another ingredient he needs) and then turn to the party and ask them to get the monster ingredient.
[Lawful Evil Sinderion] Enwel brings up the unfairness of his request and he will demand that she do it anyway. If the party offers to gather the ingredient instead of Enwel, he will demand that she go with them, since it's for something SHE wants.
[If you haven't guessed already, this story deals with the struggles that disabled people face. Even the Lawful Good Sinderion fails to recognize that Enwel can't fulfill his request, despite learning about her condition a few minutes prior. The Evil Sinderion is basically any Manager/Boss at any Company.]

So, I keep name lists as a DM, and I don’t know if this is useful to anyone else or not. If it is, please reblog or like, so I know to make more. Some of these names come from the PHB, but most of them are generated. Goliaths have 3 names: Birth name, name given to them by their chief, and their clan name. Their clan name typically has 5 or more syllables, and goliaths present themselves using all 3 names. That being said:
A fortified campsite sits atop a rocky elevation, overlooking the river and a seldom used road, hidden by trees and the cliffs surrounding it. A watchtower keeps a look out for anyone approaching, but the trees and cliffs may provide concealment for those are careful.

This map is sized for a 30x30 grid. This could make a good base of operations for bandits, mercenaries, a small army unit, etc. I figure the largest tent is full of supplies and weaponry (stolen or otherwise) and the three cages are for war beasts or prisoners.

Crumbling stone walls are all that remains of this small village. The former inhabitants are long gone, and even the crossroads is seldom traveled due to fear of bandits and rumors of curses. There may still be some secrets or valuables to find in the overgrown grass and piles of stone though.
