2010-08-22 One Page Dungeons Used

I’ve started using a few more entries from the One Page Dungeon Contest. I have placed a few in my Sunday game and run one at a local convention.

One Page Dungeon Contest

at a local convention

• Arendt's Old Peculiar by Antti Hulkkonen. I’ve run this dungeon at the convention. We used Labyrinth Lord rules, my Character Creation Shortcuts and the Monster Cards by Jonathan Chappell. Character creation and equipment was super easy. Players got to chose between fighter, magic-user and cleric, so we ended up with four fighters and three magic-users. All of them on first level. The adventure involves a visit to bar run inside a building built in front of an old dwarf mine. The law-abiding former city guard attacked the eleven goblins guarding the bridge for spitting and lost his right hand (yay for Trollsmyth’s Death and Dismemberment table). The party finally escaped with 300 gold each through the well. It was a tight 2½h game including setting up the table and character generation. Loved it!
• Darcy Stratton – The Sage’s Tower. In my Sunday game the party has traveled for a week to reach Finduler’s Observatory, where the famous botanist Finduler was going to help them lift the curse of Dryad love from Kishan and Deirdre (much to her chagrin). It turns out that the botanist’s garden is overgrown with weeds, the employs ogre guards, he knows little about plants, and the halfling himself hides behind a veil. But the information he hands out seems good enough. The party suspects that he’s gone but they’re ready to cooperate with the veiled sage.
• Corwin Riddle – City of Traitors. One of the rewards the veiled sage offered to the party in addition to handing out several other missions was the location of a sunken city ripe with plunder. The party descended a sink hole, followed the water, and ended up at the bridge. Our 5th level goblin bard decides to go and explore the bridge on his own, befriends the dark elf guards, and buys some black poison and a dark elf masterwork assassin’s dagger, does some smalltalk, and retreats. The party is then attacked by giant bats that try to carry off the kobold sorceror-monk, but they fend them off and leave again. The veiled one had promised a city to loot, not a *guarded* city to loot. They want to return another day.
