Tunnelers entries 0108 through 0808

0108 — Timberland owned by the Howells-Rush logging company. An ATV can navigate between the old moss-laden trees with some effort. Enormous ferns conceal shallow cave mouths — some grow into infinite hypnotic fractals.

0208 — Timberland owned by the Howells-Rush logging company. An ATV can navigate between the old moss-laden trees with some effort. Enormous ferns grow dense.

0308 — Timberland owned by the Howells-Rush logging company. An ATV can navigate between the old moss-laden trees with some effort. Enormous ferns grow dense. Mo Atkins (she/her, 41, mountainmo on the tunneler chatrooms and forums) is camped here, having slung a hammock between two trees and expertly shielded it from rain with rope and a tarp. While she has her pickaxe and shovel at hand, she has not yet ventured far into the woods in her hunt for tunnels. She has instead been collecting good firewood (also tarp protected) and is keeping a cozy fire lit, and regularly makes tea or cooks various foraged stews atop it. Residents of 0307 have seen smoke from the fire and reported the presence of a vagrant to the police.

0408 — The highway passes through grassland and past “the rock” (distinct from “the rocks”) and the small park next to it. “The rock” towers 50 feet above the ground, and due to its visibility from the highway and park has been used as a surface on which to display signage: currently, a sign in favor of additional land rights for the Nooksack tribe fights for space with an endorsement of a libertarian candidate for senator and a banner saying “Senior Class 2002.” Above these, about 40 feet up in blue spray paint, someone has tagged the rock with the words “LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH.” The park includes the baseball diamond used by the local little league team.

0508 — State forest, dense and dark. Minimal room to operate vehicles. Coyotes are commonly seen and heard here.

0608 — The highway and river cross each other between muddy and stump-covered hillsides. The land here has never quite recovered from being logged. A few houses and trailers scattered along the west side of the highway. Dennis Toole’s trailer is here but neither he nor his drugs or money are likely to be in it.

0708 — Muddy and stump-covered hillsides, logged by the Mckinnon logging company and never replanted. Wild blackberry grows thick and chokes out competitors for the space. When the river floods, many ponds form here. A common hunting ground of coyotes.

0808 — A field full of stumps, concealed by grass grown taller than they are, property of and harvested by the Mckinnon logging company, never replanted. Wildflowers flourish in the sunny field, and it is nearly always abuzz with pollinators. Coyotes hunt mice in the tall grass.

That’s all the hex entries done! The remaining tasks I have to do are as follows:
-do some minor hex entry cleanup
-make a map that names the roads
-make random encounter tables
-make or find dungeons to place within
Once I have done at least the first two, I plan to make both a full reference page for running the game with all maps and links to resources. Ideally this will lead into me putting it all together in zine form as well!
