Beneath Talondale

Slab

“You wake up, surrounded by filth and the stench of unwashed and rotting bodies. Something gnaws on your leg and you sit up in pain. A giant rat has just taken a bite out of your leg. You can hear a couple other people starting to wake up nearby. A broken thighbone beside you looks rather sharp and pointy on one end.”

Beneath Talondale is a small four to six encounter dungeon where the player’s have woken up covered in filth, no weapons, no armor, and in danger of being eaten by the local giant rat population. The heroes must survive the rats and then discover why they were left for dead in the caverns amongst piles of half-eaten and rotten corpses. The stout iron doors leading out are locked. The rattle of the handle seems to stir the vengeful and restless dead in nearby cells.

• Skeletons of the former guards with their flesh stripped away, risen in unholy anger
• Ooey gooey oozes and slimes that slither and slurp through the sewers
• A spikey feathery manticore monstrosity that has made a nest for itself after a landquake opened up a wall in the sewers
