Dungeon of Dread

Difficulty: Level 10 Castle Dreadmoore crouches over the Dungeon of Dread, infamous for its slowly growing tunnels, worming outward like the roots of a tree. Now these mysteriously spreading catacombs have opened into the cellars of the city, disgorging horrors to wreak havoc before sealing again. The people living in the shadow of Castle Dreadmoore have called for someone to delve into the castle and end the threat. Total adventure time: 2h 43 minutes

Final Encounter Text
Success Results	Failure Results
Flashing lights and deep chanting alerted NAME to the presence of Torog cultists. Peering into the room, NAME saw several gray-robed cultists and a bearded man who must have been the high priest chanting around a floating construct of glowing strands. As they chanted, the tangled strands wriggled outward in the air. It was a representation of the growing dungeon! NAME knew that stopping the chanting would stop the dungeon. Armor Class (Magic) check with a difficulty of 38
The evil cultists had to die, but before that NAME had to survive their attack. Gripping his/her WEAPONTYPE tightly, NAME fended off blow after blow and avoided spell after spell. His/Her armor saved his/her hide and finally after several tense minutes, it was all over. The city was saved, and the cultists' riches were NAME's to claim. 316 XP 180-300(max) gold Amulet of Protection +2/Angelsteel Chain/Armor of Asmodeus/Axe of the Dwarvish Lords/Battleforged Plate/Bracers of the Perfect Shot/Belt of Titan Strength/Crown of Command/Dancing Shiv/Demon Armor/Destiny Staff/Dragonmask of Bahamut/Elven Battle Armor/Elven Boots/Exalted Armor/Fist of Kord/Gauntlets of Destruction/Gloves of the Moon/Ilithid Robes/Invulnerable Coat of Arnd/Iron Ring of the Dwarf Lords/Leather Armor +3/Mithral Shirt of Corellon/Orb of Thalos/Orb of the Usurper/Plate Armor +3/Rod of Dragonrule/Rod of the Churning Inferno/Scarab of Invulnerability/Shadowflow Leather/Staff of Ultimate Defense/Star Opal Ring/Vorpal Greatsword/Wand of Doresain/Wand of Orcus/Wyrmguard Shield	The evil cultists had to die, but before that NAME had to survive their attack. That part didn't go very well. Between their multitude of maces and streaking spells NAME soon fell unconscious. When he awoke in a wine cellar, the last thing NAME could remember was being dragged through a stone hallway by several cultists, but he was happy to find some extra valuables lying next to him on the floor. 103 XP 101 gold 10 damage
