Monster Island (6e)
 |
Imagine a land of dark¸ sweltering jungles filled with nameless monstrosities and savage reptilian head-hunters... hacking through thick undergrowth to uncover forgotten overgrown ruins filled with glittering treasures... discovering mysterious cities of gold hidden high up between the sheer mountain peaks¸ filled with foul sorceries... uncovering ancient temples still used by secretive cults to practice their abhorrent sacrifices... and worse still¸ if those gods arose as titanic beasts beyond mortal comprehension¸ to destroy those that dare despoil their worshippers...
"Then imagine you've arrived¸ shipwrecked or magically transported¸ to this tropical hell and that there is no escape.
"Welcome to the horror of Monster Island!
