Tuesday Sep 06, 2022
Zemira and Char pass the night at the Garden, separated and alone. There is something off about this place, a darkness. Can they find a way to survive one night, gather the information they need, and get away? Or will they, like so many others, be consumed by what lurks in the shadows?
The amazing and wonderful Fungeon Master (@FMaster90 on Twitter) collaborated with us this week and created a map for this episode! You can check it out on our social media, website, and Patreon. Fungeon is a great person, a dear friend, and someone you should definitely check out/support. If you're looking for maps for your games, check out his Ko-fi. He has tons of free maps available for download as well as some great paid options, and we think he's definitely worth the money. Thanks, Fungeon!
