About this model
A rounded rock with a pinkish, speckled surface that looks like granite or rose quartz. It is lumpy and irregular. The rock is about 1 ft wide and half a foot tall, a small piece on the grid.
Use it in mountain passes, quarries, crystal caves or a mage's rock garden. Its colour stands out against grey stone, so it works well as a point of interest. On the battle map it is small clutter, but a distinctive rock is a good landmark to describe or a target for a quest.
Ideas for the table
- A rose-coloured stone is the only marker for a buried hoard on the mountainside.
- The wizard needs a fist-sized pink stone for a ritual, and the only one is in a griffon's nest.
- Touching the pink rock causes it to glow briefly, revealing faint runes on its surface.
