Devil's Nail

About the Location: Devil’s Nail is a jagged peninsula jutting from Gooley Island’s northern coast, named for its claw-like cliffs and ceaseless arcane storm that churns just offshore. The skies above are rarely clear, as violent winds and crackling energy swirl above waters known to swallow ships whole. Beyond its natural chaos, Devil’s Nail has become a magnet for dark sorcery—warlocks, cultists, and infernal scholars are drawn here to perform forbidden rites beneath stormlit skies. The shifting portals that open within the storm are believed to connect to distant, often dangerous planes, making this place a hub of extraplanar trafficking and demonic summoning. The peninsula is feared not only for its violent magic, but also for the whispers of sacrifices and infernal pacts forged in blood-soaked stone circles hidden among the cliffs.

Terrain Outline: This battle map uses a single level. The blue teleportation circle is the player entry point and the yellow teleportation circle leads to the arena. The nails (light blue sections of the stone claws) are ladder tiles and the light blue flat section between them is basic terrain; The entire rest of the map is climbing terrain. The tips of the nails are special terrain tiles: any creature standing on a nail tip who casts a NON-holy spell may duplicate that spell for free (no charge use or action) choosing new targets/modes if relevant.

Quest Briefing: Legend speaks of a forgotten ritual once performed atop the stone claws of Devil’s Nail. If a creature willingly drips their own blood into the hollow at the center of the largest claw, the storm will momentarily calm—and a summoning circle will ignite. Those who complete the ritual may call forth a demon of great power, bound to the storm's will. But be warned: such entities are rarely obedient for long, and the price of failure is steep.
