Description
A level 0 adventure "funnel". You control a group of ordinary Peasants who hope they may survive and reach the exalted heights of a level 1 adventurer. What could go wrong entering a dungeon armed with a pair of scissors, or a table leg as your only weapon? and no training?
This is among the most-celebrated adventures for DCC. No experience is required, beginner friendly, pre-generated characters provided. If any of your characters survive, they may graduate to be used in a level 1 adventure the GM is running later this weekend.
Since time immemorial you and your people have toiled in the shadow of the cyclopean ruins. Of mysterious origins and the source of many a superstition, they have always been considered a secret best left unknown by the folk of your hamlet. But now something stirs beneath the crumbling blocks. Beastmen howl in the night and your fellow villagers are snatched from their beds. With no heroes to defend you, who will rise to stand against the encircling darkness? The secrets of Chaos are yours to unearth, but at what cost to sanity or soul?
