Shallots
 |
Before the oceans drank Atlantis¸ they first drank deep of Askelion.
O! Fabled Askelion¸ blighted demesne of sorceror-thanes and the moon-touched¸ that eldritched fastness of profane ritual and sinister hedonism beneath the flickering emerald tint of a blighted aurora. Askelion¸ whose name was uttered with a dread whisper in the Long-Ago¸ before - mercy of mercies - her dim sun died or fled¸ and all the foul sorcerors and their fel servants were entomed as their Sphere became a blizzard-blown ball of ice.
Once a myriad¸ the flickering light of Nibiru waxes strongly enough to shift and rend that benighted glacier¸ exposing the highest eaves of one of Askelion's accursed ziggurats. When that bale glow illuminates the storm-wracked sky¸ crews of the most damned bastards to have ever lived flock to Askelion like ravens after a kill¸ for safeguarded by curses¸ cold and whatever nefarious traps the sorceror-thanes set with their dying breaths lies a hoard of unimaginable wealth¸ including the legendary Crown of Thirteen Moons...
Shallots is #7 in a series of short hex- and dungeon-crawls for the PINKHACK system¸ but are easily adaptable to the OSR system of your choice. Each DOOMCRAWL is inspired by the iconic Special Herbs beat tracks by MF DOOM.
What's in this edition?
A 14-room dungeoncrawl in a frozen ziggurat!~ 2d6 Rumors of what wonderous treasure can be found! 2d6 Encounters to terrify and imperil! A steadily-thawing ice tomb¸ steadily flooding as the PCs explore... 27 pages of ADVENTURE
