Through the Fire and Flames

Designed originally as an "adventure jam" a year ago, Through the Fire and Flames is my first published adventure here on the Guild!

After a meteor plummeted into the side of Dedlow Peak in months past, miners from the nearby town of Grohd took to the mountain to try and dig it up to harvest its rare metals. While the meteor still hasn’t been uncovered, expeditions into the mountain uncovered another treasure: several massive obsidian deposits. The black glass suddenly became Grohd’s main export, increasing the need to dig further into the mountain.

A crew of miners set off for the peak a little over a week ago and only two crew members returned, claiming they uncovered a large chamber of magma. The rest of the crew went in to investigate and were beset upon by red lizard men and large worm-like creatures that seemed to “swim through the rock like water.” After seeing some of the crew attacked and taken as prisoners by these creatures, the survivors blasted the tunnel to the chamber shut and retreated to Grohd to report their story.

Soon after, the earth began to shake, and the seismic activity has the citizens of the region terrified that Dedlow Peak may have been an inactive volcano all along. The adventurers will be tasked with investigating the dig site and uncovering the truth behind Dedlow Peak’s sudden change in behavior!
