FAN MADE SUPPLEMENT By David Tappenden

Four Against Dungeon copyright – andrea SFILIGOI

The life of an adventurer and dungeoneer can be a lonely and dangerous one (not to
mention short!). Apart from the three companions at one’s side and the promise of
fortune and fame, pleasures are few. But what if that promise eventually comes true, if
dungeons are plundered and those treasures won; what then? How to spend those hard-
fought-for gains?

There can be no finer outlay in all the realms than to build oneself a home. The comfort
of a warm hearth, the sustenance of a well-stocked kitchen, and the cosiness of a large,
soft bed. But more than just somewhere snug to hang up one’s sword and shield, a good
home can offer up all manner of perks; there was never a more successful adventurer
than a well-rested, well-fed, and well-stocked one.

This supplement provides the 4AD player with twelve different homes to spend their
horde of gold pieces on. The homes range from cheap, basic hovels, to grand, palatial
citadels. The cost of them also ranges, so whilst your first home won’t cost much, for
something more luxurious you’ll have to do some saving; something to keep you dungeon
crawling for loot for some time to come. In addition, your new home can be extended
with a small number of additions that once purchased add extra perks to your characters.

You may well need these perks to as each home is located a different distance from those
parts of the realm where adventuring takes place. Measured in days, each day of travel
will see a different encounter, set out in the new travelling rules also included in this
supplement.

Some good, some bad, some in-between, the road to your next dungeon will now be
equally captivating as you tackle the challenges of living in a fantastical land. But life is
all about the journey, right? Well, that and saving enough gold to buy an eighty-room
castle with gold plated floors, soaring open fireplaces, and tower-top jacuzzi. Happy trails
and happy hunting!
 HOMES
Set out below is the full list of properties available to you, their cost in Gold Pieces (GP),
their GP storage capacity, the maximum number of adventurers who can stay there, the
number of days travel to your next adventure, and the available add-ons for the property.

This supplement comes with printable cards (separate document) for each property so
you can easily keep track of what properties you own, and even house your minis on
them when you aren’t playing.

Buying – You can purchase a property at the conclusion of any adventure or dungeon
crawl you go on. You must of course deduct the cost of the property in GP from your GP
total, whether that’s GP your characters are carrying (remember, each adventurer can
only carry a max of 200GP) or GP you have stashed in the secure chest at your current
property.

Selling – When it’s time to move up the property ladder, you can sell your current
property. Unfortunately, property in the realms devalues at a disappointing rate
(adventurers aren’t keen on property sloppy seconds!). As such, when you sell you will
only get back half the original GP cost. You also get back half the cost of any add-ons you
purchased for the property (you can’t take property add-ons with you when you move).

Property Portfolio – Fancy yourself a property mogul in the realms? You don’t have to
sell any property and can amass as many as you like. Fancy more than one property to
have the option of how many days travel you have to your next quest? Go for it. Got a
hankering for a network of caves, or a whole village of cottages? Start saving and buy
whatever combo of properties you fancy. Who knows, you may even become the richest
person in the realms, hiring and firing your own dungeoneers to keep your coffers well
stocked while you kick-back in your four-poster bed, atop a pile of bear-skin throws,
looking out from your castle balcony at the mass of real-estate below with your name on
it.
Occupants – Whilst it’s nice to be cosy with your fellow dungeoneers, it’s also nice to
have your own space. As such each property has a maximum number of occupants it can
comfortably accommodate. Looking to join up with more adventurers than your party of
four? Go for a property with 6 or more occupants and start a band of dungeoneers,
working together and swapping in and out party members as and when a particular
adventure calls for it.

Storage Chest – As each adventurer can only carry a maximum of 200GP, each property
comes with a handy lockable chest which allows each occupant to store an addi tional
amount of coinage, handy for saving up for your next abode or that must-have add-on.

Days Travel – Some properties are close to the action, others are further away. As a
general rule, the nicer the property the further away it is from the more dangerous parts
of the realm. However, that does mean more days travel to the start of a quest or
adventure. For each day of travel the player must roll d6 and then d66 on the Travelling
tables (see further on). The event for the day could be good, could be bad, or could be
somewhere in-between.
Property Add-ons – An adventurer’s home is his castle (quite literally if you have the
coin!). As well as the original benefits that come with a property, a series of additions can
be purchased to add even more benefits to your home. Not all properties can have all
add-ons so check whether your home can have the add-on before parting with your coin.

ADD-ONS TABLE
NAME: COST: DETAILS AND BENEFITS :
Armoury Small – 250gp Somewhere to store additional weapons and armour that aren’t
Medium– being used, this is an essential addition for any adventuring party.
1,500gp Small Armoury – Store 2 extra weapons and 2 extra armours
Large – 5,000gp Medium Armoury – Store 5 extra weapons and 5 extra armours
Large Armoury – Store 12 extra weapons and 12 extra armours
Store Room 500gp Equally essential are those pieces of equipment for getting you out
of a tight spot; lanterns, ropes, lucky rabbit’s feet, store any
additional items here to save lugging them around on your next
quest.

Kitchen 1,000gp An adventurer with an empty stomach is no adventurer at all.

Before setting out on a quest roll d6 on the Kitchen table (below)
to see what tasty treat you can purchase to take with you. Each
one-use item brings a perk.

Library 2,000gp For quieter, more relaxing moments, a library is a must have. It’s
also somewhere you can store your acquired Clues, to save taking
them, and potentially losing them, on your next quest.

Stables 5,000gp Travelling by foot might be great cardio, but it takes a long time.
Invest in a stable and you’ll have horses at your disposal. This can
cut your journey time dramatically. Properties with a Stable allow
the player to halve the number of travel days to their next quest,
should they wish to.
Spellatorium 7,000gp Looking like a mad wizard’s laboratory, the Spellatorium is
actually a handy place to store any additional Spells you acquire
on your adventures. Need to save some spells back for a future
quest, or carrying too many? Not a problem. Keep them here for
future use.
Shrine 8,000gp (plus A fallen hero is not a forgotten one. If you lose an adventurer, you
minimum of one can purchase the Shrine room addition to pay tribute to your
fallen hero) fallen brethren. Pray here before setting out on a quest and you
can roll d6 on the Blessings table (below) to take a Blessing with
you on your adventure. Each Blessing offers a specific perk. To
take the Blessing you must leave a tithe in GP at the shrine.
KITCHEN TABLE
If you have the Kitchen add-on, before setting out in an adventure you can roll d6 once on the below
table for the option to purchase a snack for the journey. Each snack is single use only.
ROLL ITEM COST PERK
1 Carrot Stew 10gp You can see in the dark! Eating the carrot stew will free up a hand by
allowing you to leave your lantern at home on this adventure.
2 Potato Cake 20gp Crispy potato goodness. This spud-tastic treat allows you to add a
point to one attack roll.
3 Cheese Scone 20gp The savoury tang of cheese and flour, delicious. This treat allows you
to add a point to one defence roll.
4 Fruit Bun 25gp A sweet treat that’s hard to beat. Your dentist won’t be happy, but
you can add two points to one attack roll.
5 Lamb Chop 25gp One of the finest of meats, cooked to perfection. Add two points to
one defence roll.
6 Travellers 30gp A succulent Sfiligoian meal, all wrapped in buttery pastry. Add two
Pasty points to one attack roll OR one defence roll.

SHRINE BLESSING TABLE

If you have purchased the Shrine for your home, and you have laid at least one of your fallen
adventurers to rest in it, you may pray at the Shrine before each subsequent adventure and roll d6
once to take a Blessing with you on your next quest. To honour the fallen, you have to leave a tithe at
the Shrine to take the Blessing. Each Blessing is single use only. If you don’t use the Blessing on your
quest you can keep it for future adventures; however, you can only carry one Blessing maximum on
any quest.
ROLL BLESSING TITHE PERK
1 Blessing of Alteration 5gp Allows a re-roll on the Vermin table once per quest.
You must accept the second result.

6 Blessing of Rectification 50gp Once per quest you may restore two health points,
either to a single adventurer or split across two
adventurers.
Returning Home – Life still happens when your adventurers are out in search of glory.
Every time you return home from an adventure or quest you must roll 2d6 on the
Returning Home table (below) to see if you were lucky or unlucky whilst you were away
slaying goblins and searching for loot.

RETURNING HOME TABLE

ROLL EVENT
2 Fire – C’mon, who left a candle lit whilst we were gone? Fire has engulfed your home. The
repairs will cost half the original purchase price of the property (Add-ons can’t be
restored), which you will need to earn before you can use the property again.
Alternatively, you can sell the charred remains for a quarter of the purchase price and
move on to a new home.
3 Flooding – Clean running water is a real boon in the realms, until someone leaves a tap
running while you’re out. The repairs will cost a quarter of the original purchase price,
which you will need to earn before you can use the property again. Alternatively, you can
sell the soggy remains for a quarter of the purchase price and move on to a new home.
4 Weird Monster – Were you born in a barn? Someone left the front door open, and in
strode a weird monster. Roll on the Weird Monster table and prepare for battle, in your
own living room!
5 Minions – An open side window is all it takes for a minion or two to get inside and start
thumbing through your mail and rummaging in your larder. Roll on the Minions table and
prepare for battle, in your own hallway!
6 Vermin – No matter how securely you lock up on your way out, Vermin will find a way
inside. A loose floorboard or a disused piece of pipe, there’s no hole they won’t take
advantage of. Roll on the Vermin table and prepare for battle, in your own downstairs
bathroom!
7 Squatters – Like a bad rash, squatters always turn up in the most inconvenient places. Roll
a d6; if you roll 1 – 3 they leave but do 40gp of damage, if you roll 4 – 6 they scarper and
leave a money sack behind with 40gp inside. Who doesn’t like free coinage for their stash?
8 No Event – You return to silence and a tidy home. Is there anything better than a quiet
day where nothing extraordinary happens?
9 Birthday – Nothing says “happy birthday” like a folded piece of Chisena cereberus leather,
but on the plus side there’s 10gp inside as a birthday gift to add to your stash.
10 Refund – That last Potion of Healing you used did nothing of the sort, and in fact gave you
the runs. Finally, your refund from Massimo’s Potions has arrived; add 100gp to your stash
11 Prize – Well, who’d have thought it? That survey you did at Brandt’s Tavern has come up
trumps. Your prize for taking part is 150gp for your stash.
12 Good Housekeeping – Keeping a secure and clean home is an underappreciated skill these
days. Chose an adventurer and perform an XP roll for them as a reward.
 TRAVELLING
No one lives at the entrance to a dungeon; its cold, sometimes wet, and the howls of the
various beasts in the catacombs below doesn’t make for a peaceful night’s rest. Travelling
is thus an essential part of life in the realms.

But far from a simple point to point trek, moving around can itself be hazardous or
rewarding. Each home you acquire is a set distance away from the lands where
adventures take place. Some are close to the action and only require a day or two travel,
whilst others are further away and require longer sojourns through the varied terrain of
the realms. Anything could happen as you trek goes on …

… thus, for every day of travel you must role on the below tables to see what event
occurs. First role d6; if you roll 1 to 2 you’re on Table 1, if you roll 3 to 4 you’re on Table
2, and if you roll 5 – 6 you’re on Table 3. You must then roll d66 on the respective table
to see what event takes place on that day of your journey. Travelling must be carried out
at the start and the end of every quest (ie. if you home is 6 days travel away you must roll
d6-then-d66 six times on the way to your next dungeon, and the same on the way
home). If the event for the day instructs you to add or deduct days of travel from your
total, be sure to do so and keep track of your ongoing total.

If you lose health points on the way to a dungeon you cannot reset your health to full
when you get there. If you are travelling home, keep track of any health points you lose
on the way. When you get home, the health of your adventurers resets to full, minus any
health points you lost on the way home. Your next adventure / dungeon crawl must start
from this health point total.

The below travelling rules can be used in conjunction with any other 4AD supplement as
standard travelling rules.
