Scarlock Hill (5E)

From publisher blurb: With slick black fingers, the muddy soil grasps at your heels as you laboriously climb Scarlock Hill’s rock-strewn slope. A hundred feet below, scores of tall pine trees silently watch your ascent. Against the scarlet backdrop of the setting sun, they resemble dark jagged towers rising from an ocean of boiling fog, and for a brief moment it almost seems as if you’ve crossed into another world. A gentle but cold breeze picks up, eliciting timid whispers from the shivering shrubs of rose haw, urging you to turn back while you still can. You’ve all but reached the top now. One by one, the great standing stones crowning the ancient barrow mound hove into view: a perfect circle of eight megaliths surrounding a cracked altar stone. A lone crow perches on the nearest menhir. Pecking and scratching at the stone, it caws a final warning in the black language of its kind before flying off, leaving you alone atop Scarlock Hill. This Dungeon Backdrop is designed to work with the Lonely Coast campaign setting but can be easily inserted into almost any fantasy campaign.
