Hello and welcome, adventurers and Game Masters!

This books presents a brand new holiday-themed adventure for your Old School gaming campaign! This scenario is intended for 4 to 6 mid-level adventurers of levels 4 to 6. In this adventure the party will be kidnapped and forced to complete a deadly dungeon crawl to earn their freedom and save their lives! As if that was not bad enough, your players will be placed in a direct, head-to-head competition with another party: the first group to reach the central trophy room, secure the trophy and activate a portal earns their freedom! The other group finds themselves back at the start, in stasis, awaiting new challengers, with no idea what the next terrifying life and death competition will entail. This continues until the group wins or is killed; the wheel of time keeps on turning.

SYNOPSIS: This adventure takes place over the course of one night, Samhain or All Hallow’s Eve as it is celebrated in some parts of the Realm. Your party thought you’d caught a break when you came across a small house off the main road just as it was time to make camp. It looked homey enough and as you rode up the middle aged man you sitting outside by a bonfire, enjoying a large tankard and puffing on a pipe, seemed mostly harmless. The giant wolfhound at his side seemed friendly and non-threatening. After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, your party agreed to share his fire for the night. He seemed nice enough and his house seems like a safe place to rest. What could go wrong?

Lots apparently, especially when its Samhain and you’re dealing with Arawn, King of the Fomorians! By foolishly accepted his hospitality you’ve indebted yourselves to him...and now you must pay...by fighting to the death in his dungeon for his amusement! He pitches you headlong into a deadly dungeon crawl, pitted against another parties of adventures in a winner takes all battle! The victors gain their freedom while the losers return to fight and die another day.

This supplement contains a completely original one-shot adventure, fully detailed and ready for immediate use with very little preparation by the GM or the players. It is flexible and can be played in several way:

  • It can be played as is with one group of players completing the adventure whilst pitted against a group of NPCs.
  • It can be used (with some tuning for balance) with as little as the GM and one player, racing against a solo NPC. 
  • The GM could run two separate groups of player characters simultaneously, each trying to secure the final prize and their freedom.
  • If the GM is truly diabolical they could split the players' party, and have these new groups compete against one another!
  • Lastly, this scenario was crafted to be easily adaptable by the GM; it is a simple matter for a GM to substitute monsters of their choice
    or randomly generate them on the fly, so the dungeon can be reused again and again.  (Just like the Mad God Arawn does!)

This book contains great Old School art and maps, done in the old blue & white style, with detailed encounters for each area. An Old School hex map of adventure’s locale, The Red Eagle Barony, is also included, with information on geography, local settlements, and showing areas for further exploration. Lastly, the scenario includes a carefully crafted set of 6 Pre-generated Characters; each of them is presented with all necessary stats and gear, ready for immediate use by players or the GM. As a bonus these PCs are specially laid in a handy mini character format, so the GM can simply print out the page, cut out the sheets, and hand them out to their players.

This book features 24 pages of excitement and thrills, made with replayability in mind, and it is sure to please discerning GMs and players everywhere!

PLUS you also get a free copy of my 2021 Starry Knight Press Catalog, which has information on all of my modules and supplements, as well as maps of the known portions of my campaign world of Terrans, and bonus content (new monsters and magic items for OSR/5E) from my published books!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
