One  Shot  Setup:  Sir  Gilbert  Scire  and  his  assistant  Hobson  Mould  are  rumoured  to  have  taken  
up   residence   in   Misery   Lodge:   a   crumbling   banqueting   hall   deep   within   Park   Pale,   Sir  
Gilbert’s  private  hunting  ground.  By  underhanded  means  the  pair  have  come  into  possession  
of   the   ‘greatest   scrowle   of   magicke   that   ever   was’.   They   are   now   intent   on   summoning   a  
demonic  army  by  which  the  avaricious  Sir  Gilbert  will  dominate  the  last  days  of  the  Dying  Land  
with  an  iron  fist.

You   arrive   at   the   edge   of   the   heavily   wooded   estate   wherein   Park   Pale   lies.   Your   first   task   will  
be   to   find   the   gates   and   enter   somehow,   and   then   to   find   a   vantage   point   high   enough   to   spy

trees.  Choose  a  path  and  make  your  first  Dungeon  Crawling  Move.
