We had some stir crazy adventurers at tearable monsters HQ, so we ran "the Ritual" from @Nerzugal's Dungeon Master Toolkit book! The ranger lost a pinky finger to a cursed ring, and adopted a 6 year old girl who's parents turned out to be bad news. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9-qHSRhuz6/?igshid=1bvrowwkh651z

Misfits & Monsters UK Punk D.I.Y D&D 5e CURSED Test Episode 16 (16-16-16!)
Wherein: The Misfits must survive the curse of 16 (16-16-16)! Could this be where it ends for these miscreants?
*deep breath* After mithering about giving the 'Omniark' over to the Hags, Nev' (the half-elf prisoner they released) grew impatient, snatched the artefact from them and attempted to escape with it through one of the many window-like portals lining the walls of their lair. A struggle ensues where Ela (Kaeyla's former rival and the Faceless Lord's Herald) gains the Omniark, flies through one of the window-portals and attempts to deliver it to her master (Juiblex). The Misfits escape the hags & pursue her back to Faerun, finding themselves emerging onto a blasted landscape that lies beyond the mountains bordering the High Forest. An ominous towering citadel stands in its centre, wreathed in roiling green-hued clouds, its spires disappearing into an equally tumultuous sky-storm above. They fight with Ela over possession of the Omniark, as the looming monument begins to transform into a gargantuan humanoid colossus that strides towards them. *phew!*
The incredible works of other far more talented people being crammed, mangled and malformed in this episode were:
• "Carrion Shrine of Qorgeth" by James J. Haeck from Kobold Press' superb Eldritch Lairs (get it: https://koboldpress.com/kpstore/product/eldritch-lairs-5th-edition-dnd/).
• "Carrionholme" by Jonathan Ely from AAW Games brilliant Mini-Dungeon Tome (buy here: https://adventureaweek.com/shop/limited-print-books/5e-mini-dungeon-tome-hardcover-pdf/
• The absolutely stonking "March of the Colossus" by Imogen Gingell (that can be procured here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/259998/March-of-the-Colossus).
• Steven Williams’ fantastic “Living Colossus” from 'Nerzugal’s Extended Bestiary' (available here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/205000/Nerzugals-Extended-Bestiary) that is also part of the superlative 'Nerzugal’s Dungeon Master’s Toolkit' here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/188626/Nerzugals-Dungeon-Master-Toolkit)
• The "Alkilith" from 'Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes' by Wizards of The Coast (buy here: http://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/mordenkainens-tome-foes
• The "Herald of Darkness" from Kobold Press' beyond awesome 'Tome of Beasts' (that should be bought immediately by any & all DM's here: https://koboldpress.com/kpstore/product/tome-of-beasts-for-5th-edition).
• The inspired (& beat-me-to-it) "Ooze Dragon" by Beeholder Press (S.G.Tillings) from 'Monsters of The Guild' (giddit!: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/234150/Monsters-of-the-Guild) & also featured in 'Monsters Without Borders' (https://www.dmsguild.com/product/238261/Monsters-Without-Borders?term=monsters+without+borders).
• The gnarly "Earth Elemental Lord" from the 'Boss Monster Token Set'

The mini-dungeon mutilated in this episode is: "Carrion Shrine of Qorgeth" by James J. Haeck from Kobold Press' Eldritch Lairs (buy here: https://tinyurl.com/ya86b23p).
Featured a Young Purple Worm spawned from Dragonix’s super useful Monster Manual Expanded (5e) that you can get here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/267678/Monster-Manual-Expanded-5E
