The Warlock of the Ruins
The Room is
The crazed warlock Sable Darkmoor has returned
to his keep, and is preying on residents of the
nearby town of Farrowdale. The heroes must
venture into his dungeons to rescue them and stop
his plan to summon the hideous and hungry frog
demon Slibbobobuleth.
Fear in Farrowdale
The heroes are approached by Flix Bigman, the
generous mayor of Farrowdale. Over the past three
nights dozens of his citizens have been spirited
away in the night. He suspects that evil has
returned to the long abandoned ‘Warlock’s Keep’.
At the keep the heroes find evidence of
recent activity. They also find the gates to an
underground dungeon, sealed with a magical
puzzle:
I happen once in a lifetime,
twice in a moment, but never in A
hundred years?
The answer is the letter M. The heroes must speak
it to enter.
Dungeon Generator
The heroes must make their way through the
warlock’s dungeons, but what’s in there? For
each room roll three six sided dice and look up the
result on the tables below. A roll of 1, 4, 6 would
give a great cavernous hall, occupied by frog like
men with rusty knives, the doors are locked and
portcullises bar the exit.
1. A great cavernous hall
2. An alchemist’s laboratory, what’s that smell?
3. A lair, gnawed bones litter the floor
4. Twisting, turning corridors
5. A chasm with a perilous bridge
6. An ancient temple, with a hideous statue
The Monsters are
1. Living slimes, acidic to the touch
2. A swarm of imps, full of fire magic
3. A stone troll, with a heavy club
4. Frog like men, with rusty knives
5. Ferocious giant apes, with viscious fangs
6. Giant poisonous frogs, with lashing tongues
The Complication is
1. A pit trap, filled with foul water
2. Magical winds extinguish the lights
3. Prisoners from the village
4. The ceiling is crumbling, rocks fall!
5. Gaseous vapours make you sleepy
6. Locked doors and portcullises bar the exits
Every third room features stairs leading down, and
a treasure.
The treasure is
1. A chest of gold and jewels
2. An emerald ring that shines with green light
3. A potion of invisibility
4. Winged boots of speed
5. A magical rope that will bind one creature
6. A magical sword that blazes with fire
When the heroes reach the fourth level (the tenth
room) they come face to face with the warlock.
