Like a macabre trout…

The PCs come to a long, relatively thin room. At the far end they can see a door.
Shortly after they enter the room, the door they entered through slams shut. The floor in front of that door drops, revealing spinning, spike-covered drums designed to pulverize anything that falls into them.
At the same time, the floor […]

Friends & Foes: It’s a Dog-Eat-Dog World…

Off in the distance, the players hear dogs barking. There’s also another sound, somewhat harder to make out… a high-pitched voice with a bit of a growl to it yelping out “Help! Help!”
