Hello and welcome¸ adventurers and Game Masters!
This is a one-shot module designed for use as an evening's worth of adventuring as your players face their imminent demise¸ trapped in a mad gnome illusionist's maze! Lured to the maze by a treasure map and rumours of great fortunes and powerful magick¸ the players soon become prisoners in Madrigan's underground maze. The entire dungeon is on lock-down: the only known exit cannot be reopened and the entire place has been ensorcelled so teleportation¸ æthereal and dimensional spells all fizzle out and fail. The only way the players are getting out is by finding the exit the old fashioned way¸ dungeon delving!
The adventure in this module takes place in and around Ratchet a gnomish village located in the northwest area of The Dales¸ a large land mass in the author's campaign world comprising a large fertile valley surrounded on all four sides by nearly impenetrable mountains. The Dales is the ancestral home of the halfling¸ gnome and dwarven races on this world.
The dungeon where the action occurs is situated 10 miles outside the village. The events herein occur after the players¸ unbeknownst to them¸ make the acquaintance of the mad mage Madrigan in a small pub in Ratchet¸ when he "accidentally" leaves them a map to his mage so he can test their mettle against his mouse trap!
This supplement contains a completely original ONE SHOT adventure¸ which was written as a quick and fun dungeon delve of monsters¸ traps and magic in the same vein as the classic Old School dungeons of yore! Inside you will find great Old-school art and detailed maps: including an Old School "blue dungeon map" with keyed encounters for each area; and a fully detailed Old School world map of The Dales¸ with information for further exploration.
This adventure also provides further details on the exciting new expansion to the author's campaign world (being the third adventure set in this area)¸ further opening up the homeland of the small folk to adventures with you players. The Dales¸ along with the nations of Alderburgh¸ Jarlburgh¸ Dùn Bhriste and The Red Eagle Barony¸ now bring the author's camping world to five separate nation states to explore!
This book features 20 pages of excitement and thrills sure to be a hit with discerning GMs and players everywhere!
As an ADDED BONUS¸ as a purchaser of one of my modules you also get¸ ABSOLUTELY FREE¸ a copy of the inaugural issue of my Old School RPG zone¸ CAVALIER ATTITUDE!!
