The local Sheriff has asked for your help cleansing the place. Will you brave the tainted ossuary?
Greetings adventurers and Game Masters!
I am pleased to announce release of the fifth adventure in my Old School Series¸ and my third One-Page Dungeon¸ "THE TAINTED OSSUARY"! This adventure is intended for 4 to 6 new adventurers of levels 2 to 4. In this scenario¸ which the Game Master may flesh out on their own initiative or simply run "as is"¸ your players will be entering these ancient catacombs¸ on the request of the local Sheriff¸ to get the bottom of disturbances among the dead and buried there.
Synopsis: The "mysterious stranger" the villagers speak of was a treasure hunter named Slif Yorgen. He came here following rumours about a powerful wizard¸ known as the Magister. Legends claim she had the power to raise the dead and control frost magics; and that she was buried with her prized magics in this ossuary¸ near her birthplace. Slif found and dug up her tomb¸ but he struck an underground aquifer in the process¸ flooding the catacombs. Sadly¸ he learned the legends were only partially true: the Magister was interred here with her magic...but she was not quite dead!
This one-page generic scenario is written to be compatible with most fantasy role-playing games (FRPG). It should be useable with any FRPG ruleset.
PLEASE NOTE: This book is presented in LANDSCAPE format¸ so when printing it out it is important to adjust your double-sided printing to flip the book on the SHORT-EDGE and not the long-edge¸ or the back pages will be upside down. This also means the quick preview here may appear squished into portrait mode¸ sorry. Below is a preview of what the cover (and book) looks like in landscape format.
PLUS you get a free copy of my 2020 Starry Knight Press Catalog¸ which has information on all of my modules and supplements¸ as well as maps of the known portions of the sphere of Terrans where my campaigns take place.
I hope you and your players enjoy this scenario. Thank you for supporting Starry Knight Press!
