The Opening

“A desperate foreman hands you a blood-stained ledger and a heavy pouch of gold. Something is eating my men in the deep shafts, he whispers, and it is not just the dark.”

— Hook · kill

Set the Scene

The Gilded Cask Tavern is thick with the smell of cheap ale and stale sweat as a man in tattered foreman clothes collapses onto your table.

Silas Thorne

Silas is frantic and smells of damp earth; he will offer his last remaining gold and a promise of guild favor if the party kills whatever is in the deep shaft.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The gold in the lower shafts glows with a sickly green hue when the lamps go out.
  2. 02
    Foreman Silas hasn't slept in three weeks and keeps talking to the cave walls.
  3. 03
    They say the mountain itself is breathing, and the miners are just its meal.
Stakes

If the creature is not destroyed, it will consume the town's entire gold reserve and spread its spawn through the trade routes.

Ticking Clock·The creature is ready to molt; if not killed within 24 hours, it will multiply into four smaller, harder to track entities.

Background Lore

The Golden Deep was once the most prosperous mine in the region. Recent excavations broke into a sealed pocket of the Underdark, releasing a predator that has a taste for both flesh and metal.

What the World Knows

The Golden Deep mine has been shut down after a series of disappearances. The foreman believes a nest of cave bears or giant spiders has moved into the lower levels, halting production.
