This is an experimental thread which will be open to a party of players, of no more than moderate power level, who must arrange to attempt it between them. Essentially I am trying to create a full adventure module purely in a thread, and need to know whether or not the format will work.

Throughout this thread anyone involved is welcome to PM me with suggestions, comments or feedback, but there will be no OOC discussion inside the thread.

There will be loot from the encounters, and the potential for rewards which can be added to your character. Success is not automatic however.

It will be possible for characters to die in this thread, and I will be using the following combat rules:

- All players and monsters will have a to-hit number. When making a post containing an attack, roll a 100-sided dice. If you roll over the to-hit, your attack will succeed and injure the monster or player. Higher numbers cause worse injuries, and 100 will cause death for either monster or player.
- Monster replies will determine the injuries suffered by the monsters, and I will be deciding when monsters are dead. Players are trusted to react reasonably to monster attacks, and to choose their own to-hit numbers appropriate for the character and their equipment.
- If you die, then the character is lost (unless a raise dead, ressurection or similar spell just happens to be along for the ride and generously used up). Do not enter this thread if you do not want to risk your character.

I will be posting every other day, to give players time for IC discussion regarding any puzzles which come up. Room descriptions, NPCs, monsters, treasure and similar may only be created by myself. Players may react to these items, but may not create their own.

There is an official map for this adventure, but this will not be provided to players unless they succeed in tracking it down. I highly recommend that a player takes on the task of map-maker.

I will begin describing the setting shortly.
