Dungeon Decor For Chagrinspire

These are for decorating your boring old dungeons for Chagrinspire. Im currently running Gunderholfn as a solo adventure - its minimal text is easier to add to and great for solo play without making reading comprehension rolls to work out how characters could act given the info they have.

These can decorate rooms, dungeons, wrecked vehicles and other weird stuff.

With the correct password known to servants of hell this is a planar gateway to hell shaped as a lewd devils mouth or bottom opposite the way back. Some have the word carved in the frame as a trap.
