About the adventure
You feel the weight of cold metal around your neck and wrists, captured by the Drow. —You wouldn't wish this fate upon anyone, trapped far beneath the earth in the alien environs of the Underdark. Should you and your companions manage to free yourselves from the clutches of your cruel captors, will you be able to survive the winding passages, treacherous caverns, and merciless monsters long enough to reach the surface? In this adventure, from levels 1-15, you'll be exploring labrynthine cave systems, evading the Drow who hunt you, and becoming caught up in the plots of that various factions who make there home below the surface. All while far more sinister forces work in the background, threatening the Realms.

About me
Howdy gamers, I'm Seth, over the past few years I've become a connoisseur of OSR style sandbox gaming, and now I'm taking a new leap towards sharing that passion with more people. Of the core pillars of Combat, Social Encounters and Exploration, Exploration is my favourite, I love to present rich scenes that foster creative solutions and reward lateral thinking. My games are particularly inspired by media such as The Tolkien Mythos, Bladerunner, Neuromancer, Citizen Sleeper, The Machineries of Empire, and The Witcher novels.

Safety
How Seth creates a safe table
Each player will be asked for their lines & veils, which will be compiled into an anonymous document which will be available as a handout in Foundry that we'll go over during session 0. Digital X, N & O cards will be available through a Foundry module. Session 0 will be held to set expectations, discuss safety tools, briefly go over Foundry modules, coordinate character decisions, and integrate each character with the rest of the party as well as the setting. There will be a 5-10 minute break around 90 minutes into the session.
