Do folks have thoughts for location moves for a blighted jungle corrupted by necromantic magic? I’ve already introduced some necromantic constructs- basically tarry male orangutans with skeletal legs which drop from the trees to slam and bite, and a massive globular creature stitched out of dozens of human skins. Help me make our next session play ‘escape horror’?

My favourite staple for any necromantic blightlands: When a creature dies, it doesn’t stay dead for long.
For a twist, animated undead plants.
Joshua Faller Definitely undead plants, as Palin Majere wrote. You could adapt the Assassin Vine from the Slave Pits of Drahzu (http://img.4plebs.org/boards/tg/image/1394/12/1394129397859.pdf) and add on a rotting disease/poison aspect.
SWARMS! I have severely underused (read: not done it all) swarms. Huge zombie mosquitos, for example. You could set them up for it. There’s a few here and there but the first person to swat one triggers an angry swarm to attack the party.
When you trudge through the heat & underbrush of the Blighted Jungle… roll+CON on a 10+ It’s bearable, mostly.
On a 7-9 pick one:
The effort saps your strength, weakened until you Make Camp.
The heat slows you down, you take longer to get where you are going.
It’s a constant barrage of stinging insects, leeches and falling down. You are scraped and bruised for 1d4 (ignores armor)
-edit added to 7-9 options:
You’ll need a machete, spend one Adventuring Gear.
Eric Lochstampfor Nice! I’d say armour makes it worse, though, so those who are carrying heavier loads have a harder time of it 🙂
Thanks! That’s a great start. Em0- I’ve already suggested that the tar/necrotic ectoplasm begins to rebuild the constructs soon after they are KO’d- one clever character realized the bodies could be burned, but where to find dry wood?
Yay! A chance to be a narcissist and self-referential!

Nice Sean, thank you.
