SCAP, Shackle City Adventuring Path, is one of my favourite campaign. To improve the game I would like to picture for my players some of the most impressive places described by the authors. Unfortunately, if is far above of my graphical talent.
I have been very impressed by what I saw here. Perhaps one of the amazing artists of this forum may find an interresting challenge in creating a map about the following text:
"The hunting trail ends abruptly and the trees thin out considerably, granting a clear view of the sky. To the north, rolling yellow and brown clouds boil above a jagged, barren horizon. The jagged line of the Demonskar's rim broods at the base of these clouds. The ground itself between here and the rim is strewn with razor-sharp ridges of volcanic glass and jagged stone.Ruined strips of what can be only the metal framework of ancient structures protude from the ground like broken fingers from a shallow grave. One particularly large structure juts from the ground only twenty feet from the end of the trail. The ruin appears like nothing more than a massive pipe protuding from the ground, its twenty-foot-wide, two-foot-thick frame sloping down into the torture ground at a gentle slope."
The party is coming from inside the forest and the climate is tropical - and so does the vegetation.
Is somebody interrested ?
Thanks anyway
Rid.

That last phrase makes no sense to me. Are you sure you didn't accidentally omit something?

I'm quoting here a descriptive passage from Tito Leati, the author of "The Demonskar Legacy", fifth chapter of the SCAP.
I can perhaps help in giving a little more details. 
Adventuring party is in the search of very old ruins, from Spell Weavers. These one built long time ago a collosal artifact in their town in order to connect to other planes. The town was inside a jungle, on a tableland. The spell weaver are a very magical race and their town was a very strange one - means with futuristic features and buildings.
Unfortunately, when using their artifact for the first time, they broke the planes borders and a piece of a demonic plane suddenly materialized and fell over the city. This cataclysm destroyed almost completely the town and its surrondings, creating a new very broken region: The Demonskar. In the center of this area is a pit where the demons which survived the translation are living.
The party is arriving at the border of the jungle which surrounds the desolation of the Demonskar. Some of the old and deeply buried structures of the spell weavers town - ie the sewers for example - have not been completely destroyed and one of the big collector is emerging frpm the ground close to the edge of the forest. This structure is very modern - like a huge metal pipe end - but it has been covered by the rocks, vegetation, mosses and so for a while. At the time being it looks like a very round and strange cave entrance which "protudes" from the broken ground.
By the way, perhaps the post should be moved to the Maps section. I'm a newbie here and I have visited the Maps section only after having posted. 
Hope it helps
Rid.

Ah, I think it should end with "and so is the vegetation" rather than "and so does the vegetation".

Oops ... you are right.
Too quick in posting plus not a native speaker is not a good mix.
