Honor the Fallen (an Original High Fantasy adventure)

About the adventure

It is a dark time for the Kingdom of Arindell, and more so for the lands of Duke Richard of House Vaurgess. Crime, pestilence, and famine are all running rampant. Despair and hopelessness hang think in the air. All because of the late King's Curse. The last battle of Balinou's rebellion was fought at Largos Plains against King Korbell V. Duke Vaurgess was to send reinforcements to aid the king. However, thanks to treachery and deceit, they never arrived, and Balinou's forces were victorious. Balinou had the King, and all of his remaining men slaughtered, and piled the bodies in a mockery of a tomb. With his dying breath, believing he was betrayed by his old friend, the King cursed Duke Vaurgess, his lands, and all the people on them. None would find rest in death, and Vaurgess would suffer with no heir, yet wouldn't die till the King rose up with an army of undead and slay the Duke himself. Now, the Duke is calling upon any who will aid him in quelling the restless King's spirit, and hopefully lift this curse on his lands and save his people from any more misery and death. This is a classic dungeon crawl one-shot. Game's main theme is high fantasy, with a good dose of horror/supernatural as it focuses on undead adversaries. Great for newcomers to gaming or to the systems. Or, for just a night of good dice rolling fun! Characters are pre-gen, everything ready to go. Just bring yourselves and your sense of adventure!
