__________

We're heading down to the depths of the earth for September, and revisiting the lands around Edyn (originally introduced in May's "Magic and Mayhem" release). Explore the caverns and tunnels around the magical-mecca as you cross paths with fearsome creatures of the dark. Will your players make it out alive and live to see the fresh air of the surface again?

This month brings our latest STL's for our Apprentice and Loremaster tiers - the Torpid Dragon! This stl file comes presupported by TableFlip Foundry.

**NOTE - STL's are NOT backlogged, so be sure to download it locally this month!**

We've got 5 brand new encounters of varying challenge ratings and setting -ready to drop right into your existing campaigns, or can just as easily be used as a springboard into a new adventure.

Help a young edynite girl care for her elderly pet sporegrazer; fight for your lives in the pitch black while cave-crawling kobolds attack from the dark; and explore a mining operation, but beware what hides in the crevices...

You get 5 brand new stat blocks of various challenge ratings, centered around the deep subterranean caves, as well as our latest monster template - the Cave-Crawler template.

Check out our latest creations like: the Calcinor, crystal- and geode-covered beasts that hunt in the caverns; the strange and terrifying aberrations known as the Darkbeast, that are able to squeeze through the tiniest cracks in rock, and thus seemingly appear from nowhere; and our latest dragon, the Torpid Dragon - a beast who has grown beyond measure, and finds itself confined to the once-spacious cavern it has grown to fill, and now lays in wait for unsuspecting prey to come close.

We've also got 6 new items and 4 new grafts to reward your players with as they explore these mysterious lands. Check out items like the Cloak of Stalagtites, the Enlarging Mushroom, and the Sun-Shard Arrow.

September also brings our 5 latest magic spells: Rotund Rolling - perfect for growing large and then rolling into your enemies; Protected Spellbook - to keep the private contents of your spellbook safe from prying eyes; and Canary's Bane - stealing the literal air from an opponents lungs.

And you already KNOW we're bringing you more player options, too! Check out our latest player race, the Cristata - the molefolk natives of the region who are known far and wide for their work-ethic and never-give-up attitudes.

You'll also get our latest wizard subclass - the Metamancer! While many wizards seek to unlock the mysteries of the universe through magic, some go a step further and unlock the secrets of magic itself to empower and enhance their spells with strange and wondrous abilities. Metamancers are wizards that have unlocked the ancient, hidden, or hard-to-find secrets of metamancy, affording them with great versatility and power. Metamancy has its roots in the subterranean city of Edyn, but many powerful metamancers now roam the planes of existence.

And be sure to check out our 5 new feats and 4 new deficiencies to help flesh out your player characters.

We've got 5 new battle maps ready for the included encounters (or just as easily used as standalone maps). Maps like - a mining site surrounded by eerie crevices; an underground riverscape aglow with magical mushrooms; and a cavern brightly lit by geodes.

And lastly, we are bringing you 7 VTT-ready tokens for all of your online needs!
