Sure, there may be a few goblins, but that's nothing you can't handle. Wait....did you hear that? That doesn't sound like no goblin........
This adventure will be roll-play heavy and require players to keep a somewhat detailed map and journal of their adventure into the dark and confusing mines of the dwarves. Mistakes can be lethal, and combat is a possibility but might be a mistake.

adventure / / / a foul well
gm / / / bobby ellis
seats / / / 1 out of 4 remain
description / / / The Ambrian outpost village of Denevan has grown quickly thanks to its location upon the fast flowing Malgamor River where it is a middle point for trade, and a safe place for travelers to rest and get a boat to head up or down stream.
Run by a zealous Witch Hunter by the name of Dallis, the town has seen its strong palisade grow just as quickly as the purses of those living within them. But a sickness is growing inside. A sickness that could very well become a plague upon all of the land.
In "A Foul Well" players will be asked to solve the mystery of the strange sickness spreading through the village of Denevan, using both a mix of role-play and combat. Players will encounter several morally gray characters and be asked to make uncomfortable choices based on who they decide to help or harm. Will they choose correctly? And can they solve the mystery before it is too late, and a plague becomes unleashed outside of the walls of the town?
Symbaroum is a roll under d20 system from Free League Publishing. It focuses on roleplay and quick and snappy combat that leans more into the cinematic than the tactical. In the world of Symbaroum, magic is corruptive, combat is deadly, and no one can be trusted.
