dailyadventureprompts:New Plane: The Miasmic Plateaus of Leng, Setup: A realm of dimension hopping smugglers, slavers, madmen and monsters. The gods and planear mages that steward the world of mortals strive to keep Leng’s pollution far from their cosmic shore. Still, some corruption seeps in wherever those with the power to travel beyond their world put a thirst for power above their warryness of poison. Adventure hooks: In the library of a mad wizard, the party finds a travel journal that speaks of a port full of heretical wonders, of the vast riches to be gained there and the forbidden pleasures to be had. It also contains within it instructions on where to find a portal to such a place. The book has an odd spell, and is greasy to the touch, as if the paper itself was in some way sick. People have been disappearing, and an arcanist antagonistic to the party has recently become flush with wealth, throwing blood-red rubies around town as if they were going to spoil. Investigation reveals gangs of hired thugs with magical items intended to let them subdue their victims without a fight, and dealings with abberant slave masters willing to make folk disappear in exchange for chests heavy with the same crimson stones. Following sightings of alien creatures having seemingly appeared form nowhere, the party tracks them to the wreck of a strange, black-sailed ship far from any source of water. Within its hold are exotic goods the like of which no local has ever seen, cages that once contained the beasts, and glimmering star-charts that point the way to an unknown horizon. An antiquities dealer has fallen into a fevered sleep after aquiring a strange idol, and her family reaches out to the party’s healer in the hopes that they may be of some aid. Research and divine questioning reveal that her dreaming mind was caught by the net of some astral skiff, and while her spirit languishes in another realm, her body has begun to waste away in the meantime. Rescue will require travel beyond the world the party knows, and into a domain of plagued imagination.
