If you’ve missed the previous posts about a snowflake dungeon, you can find them here. I didn’t expect this to keep growing. As it came time to actually put locations into key, it kept creating the need for more locations. That said, I think this adventure is going to be that much better for it. […]
If you’ve missed the previous posts about a snowflake dungeon, you can find them here. Man, some posts are longer than others. I’ve been toiling away in the background, working on the snowflake dungeon. This step really feels like it’s the “Write the damn book” step. I’ve gathered all the information, I just need to […]
If you’ve missed the previous posts about a snowflake dungeon, you can find them here. I went back and forth on if this should be a dungeon or not. It seemed easiest for me (and whoever may theoretically run this in the future) if it was. Let’s get into it. Traditionally, in old school adventures, […]
If you’ve missed the previous posts about a snowflake dungeon, you can find them here. The plan was to write all the room descriptions and then make the map. It looked good on paper. Unfortunately, when I started to work on the monastery entries, it started to fall apart in practice. The rooms I had […]

Immune to the Divine: The spells and powers of clerics and paladins have no effect on them.
Weapons: They frequently use wickedly curved daggers, which they use for sacrificial purposes.
Soul Clouders: There is a 10% chance that any Vulture Priest can use the sleep spell once per day. The targets are still awake, but they are beset by such a deep depression that it has the same effect as sleep. They may only watch what unfurls around them.
