Purple Mountain: Temple of the Locust Lord (DCC)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Level One: Temple of the Locust Cult is a DCC-Compatible module designed for 1st level heroes. This module is designed to be played in any campaign setting with a mountain containing a megadungeon.

Original module by Mark Gedak, DCC conversion/update by Daniel J. Bishop.

----

The first level of Purple Mountain is the current home to a cult of the Locust Lord, a demonic entity dedicated to vermin, chasms, and infestations. Twenty years ago, the wizard Iraksed came to the Purple Mountain to discover secrets of transformation into an immortal invertebrate form. His destructive tendencies and ability to manipulate the manamites present in the first level of Purple Mountain earned him the grace of the Locust Lord and Iraksed began the painful process of shedding his mortal form into his current squirming one.

Recently Iraksed and his manamite followers have grown in power and potential for destruction. The manamites have captured and trained a number of vermin, including a throach. The throach, known to the manamites as the Instrument of the Locust Lord, has the ability to implant hosts with its verminous offspring. These offspring eventually tear themselves free of their host. The manamites love both the birth of throach grubs from within the bodies of other sentient races and the screams of their hosts as the larval throach burst free. To supply the throach with a constant supply of hosts, the manamites occasionally venture out of Purple Mountain to capture travellers or nearby villagers.

----

The Purple Mountain series is designed to be the classic megadungeon in every way.

Does anybody knows how can I get in touch with Purple Duck staff?

With the rise of games being played over Roll20 a "players map" that does not have room numbers or secret doors mapped would be very handy to port such a thing over to that or similar platforms.

I may have an unlabeled version of this map. Let me check.

I do not. But Crooked Staff Publishing might have a battle map for it.

Very nice level ! One thing bother me : isn't it the same exact map as in the Cotillon of Hours ? What does this mean ? Some secret correspondence between Somnos realm and the Purple Dungeon ?

Sadly, there is a simpler explanation. I originally wrote the Purple Mountain adventure for Pathfinder and commissioned a map. When Daniel was writing the Cotillion of Hours he needed a map so I sent him the Purple Mountain one to use because I didn't expect it to come over to DCC.

Thanks for the answer : a very nice level anyway. I will make something of that correspondence for my players who know of the Cotillon's map.

What it means is that I wrote Temple of the Locust Lord for Pathfinder, I commissioned this map. When Daniel wrote the Cotillon of Hours he asked me if I had a map kicking around. Then he reused this map in the Cotillon. It was only later that I decided to move TotLL over to DCC. Hence the duplicate map.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
