Descent into Wonder

Descent into Wonder

Galspaar XCVII, Emperor of the Kosmos is deathly ill. Physics, healers, herbalists and chancers have flocked to the Imperial bedside, and have determined that only one remedy has any chance of saving His life is the seed of the sanctuary blossom. Fortunately such a plant grows nearby. Unfortunately it grows in the Oubliette of Implacable Enemies.

In the hazy past Kosmic Empress Gaile II had this place built. It took the greatest architects to conceive of it, the greatest adventurers to find the raw materials for it, and the greatest wizards to secure it. This was not to be a simple prison for thieves and racketeers, but a place where near-existential threats could be locked away forever. Here the Navigator Pox runs its course in a pit where time has been made to hesitate. Here the autarchic animists sing to their cages. And here grows the last known sanctuary blossoms, imprisoning the last Sanguisuge Titan.

This is where our heroes come in. They are not mighty champions or powerful arch-mystics. They are outsiders, rogues, spell-grinders and followers of disreputable gods. If they are killed, infected or subverted in the Oubliette, they will not be missed, or be much of a threat.

Descent into Wonder is a space fantasy dungeon crawl for 1st level characters. I think it will span 2-4 sessions, and it will be online. It uses the newest version of the Macchiato Monsters rules. Let me know if you're interested.
