The Void Screamer on a blue background. A large, red and grey skinned monster with no eyes and a large mouth with hundreds of teeth. It has four arms. Two are long and clawed, and two are short and hooked. At the bottom of the image, text reads; "Mage killer! Void Screamers come from another realm to feast on magic".

A blue background with white text at the bottom which reads "Adventure awaits. Get best-selling 5e content for players and GMs". Above this, art depicts A group of adventurers fighting off a horde of ghosts in an operhouse. In the foreground stand a human woman and a tiefling man. The human is wearing a white dress with a black corset and detailing, has dark skin and curly hair, and holds a holy symbol before her against the ghosts. The tiefling has red skin and rams horns on his head. He is wearing a magenta suit and is swinging a candelabra like a club. In the background, on the stage, stand a male fire genasi, and a female half elf. The genasi is dressed in smart black trousers and a cape with no shirt and is hurling fireballs at the ghost. The half elf is wearing a blue sleeveless dress and is reading from a spellbook while conjuring purple magics.

Watabou City Maps in Wonderdraft | Icarus Games
