About the adventure

The party has ventured into an ancient pyramid, drawn by rumors of a powerful artifact and unimaginable treasure hidden deep within its depths. However, they soon realize that the pyramid is more than just a tomb—it is a labyrinth of deadly traps, intricate puzzles, and an unsettling atmosphere that seems to grow more oppressive the deeper they go. As they press forward, the adventurers begin to feel the weight of an unseen force, subtly draining their strength, focus, and clarity. Their abilities become harder to rely on, and the challenges grow more taxing with each step. It becomes clear that the pyramid is no ordinary place—it tests both mind and spirit, pushing its intruders to their limits. Within the pyramid, there are creatures—strange, elusive beings whose purpose remains unclear. Some seem to move in and out of the shadows, and their role within the pyramid’s strange ecosystem is not fully understood. With the pyramid’s trials growing ever more dangerous, the party must find a way to reach the main gate, where the final confrontation with the malevolent force guarding the artifact awaits. The artifact is said to hold immense power, but only those who can navigate the pyramid’s deadly challenges will have a chance at claiming it. Will the adventurers rise to the occasion, or will they be swallowed by the pyramid's dark grip?

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Dungeon Crawl

A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
