From publisher blurb:
3rd-Level Adventure for 5e
As you approach the mines, a quiet chill fills the air. The small storehouse just outside has already been ransacked and is completely empty… There is no sign of life to be found. The mine entrance looks like it has not been used in nearly a month. Cobwebs dance in the breeze around the entrance of the cavern as the echoes of silence shed from deep within...
You enter to find thousands of rock hard purple spiny egg sacks covering the walls... You then hear a loud bubbling pop followed by an echo of cracks and breaks from all around. A disgusting alien-like head of a worm slithers its way out of its shell and onto the ground. The two foot long hatchling sounds off an ear piercing shriek as it flops it’s way towards you. As you look around you see dozens more coming out of their shells...
In this One Shot adventure your party will travel to a nearby mine that usually supplies the Empire with mithril ore, but has now suddenly become silent. The mine has been massacred by a Purple Worm who made the location her nursery for her thousands of eggs. Will your party clear the site so that it can once again provide the resources to the Empire for the ongoing war at hand? This adventure was designed for three to seven 3rd-level characters and is optimized for five characters with an average party level of 3 (APL). The adventure starts in Middle Guard, and includes random encounters with several maps and tokens on the travels to the Mine as well as a full guide to the Mines themselves and the NPCs they will find and be able to rescue and the events that will take place within.
This adventure takes place in the Northern region of the Empire of Civule which is part of the Seventh Moon Adventures and the World of Celia setting, but it can easily be placed into any mountainous region of any campaign setting.
