Description
In a ruined castle swamped in rancid mud, a fabulous fortune awaits bold adventurers…
In a foggy valley high on the knees of The Spine, a ruined castle sleeps half-buried in rancid mud. A fabulous fortune awaits bold adventurers — if they can survive long enough to keep it!
This fantasy adventure module evokes Old School (OSR) experiences for Old School and New School players alike. OSR players will find it an authentic experience, full of exploration, puzzles, and a few stiff fights. The rewards are high, and the foes and traps are lethal.
Designed to be system and setting-neutral, you can explore the Drowned Valley with any game system! Monster stat blocks are given for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, our own RPG Spears & Spells, and six-stat OSR games like Shadowdark and Basic Fantasy.
Grab a stack of low-level character sheets (about 3rd to 5th level) and put on your muck boots!
Plot Synopsis
Generations ago, a greedy and ambitious nobleman encompassed the doom of an entire valley, flooding it with the contents of a glacial lake, killing everyone and destroying the castle and surrounding village. Now that nobleman’s ancestor wants to claim the place — because there’s gold in them thar hills.
The adventurers find out about the Drowned Valley and make the dangerous journey to find it. Once they do, they must figure out how to get inside the vaults and deal with the traps and guardians. Once they’ve claimed the treasure, the noble ancestor turns up to take it away from them.
If they survive, they’ll be rich.
If.
