Trouble at Durkenstaff

Durkenstaff – Created in Nightcafe.

She looked at the mountains with the worry of what tomorrow might bring. It had been a day since the hunters had left to investigate the mine. Being the best at tracking and moving over the rough terrain of the mountains they volunteered to head out first to at least investigate what had happened. Many of the villagers husbands, wives and children worked in the mines nearby, digging for iron primarily. However, since they had left at the start of last week they hadn’t returned yet and they were long past due.

Concerned that something had happened they had organised a search party to go and investigate. However they were now overdue.

The Scouts Return

“They’re here!” a voice called from a nearby watch tower and those that remained in the village rushed to the entrance. However the sight of the hunters returning without those that worked in the mind caused the village to let out a collective sob. But not for Jandice. Her son, Randal, ran up to her with his bow on his back, tired but still alive.

“We didn’t find them. Anything really. All of them just gone. All their carts empty, their tools laying there in the mud. Nothing. Not even a sign of them in their tents. Everything was intact. But there was something I did notice. I slipped off when the others looked up the path towards the top of the mountain. They’ve found a new tunnel. a whole new part of the mine to dig in. But its weird, it doesn’t look like it was created properly. Half opened without the normal supports like what father used to talk about.” He opened his mouth to continue but a roar broke across the village. One that curdled blood and caused every hair to stand on end. A roar that came from up the mountain.

It looks like there was Trouble at Durkenstaff mine.

Thoughts

Now a good old classic adventure. Missing miners from a mine. I am excited to look at how I can get the maps to work. Large maps that involve a lot of twists and turns are generally hard to do. But I will look for ways to organise one.


Thank you for starting your weekly adventure with me. Don’t forget that I will be fleshing out this adventure as the week goes on and, hopefully, publishing a new adventure zine at the end of the week. So don’t forget to come back for that and as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
