I’m set up to run Torchbearer at the Tacoma game day on the 21st, and thought I’d put some creative energy into a short and sweet one-evening adventure. Here’s a googledoc link:

If you don’t want to wade through that, here’s a summary: Traveler’s Hill is the burial mound of King Gylf the Traveler, who’s buried Sutton Hoo-style in a funeral ship. Because Gylf was cursed, most of the history has been forgotten or expunged, and now there’s just this weird hill in the middle of nowhere with no travelers around. The sole peasant occupant of a nearby squalid hamlet digs up a bronze shipfitting while pulling stumps and totes it all the way to Skogenby to trade it for liquor. Word gets around - enter a crew of disreputable treasure-hunters. The monsters include Gylf’s corpse (a sort of detuned Barrow Wight), a few surviving oarsmen skeletons (Tomb Guardians), some nasty mold, terrible footing, ants and spiders, and an ankheg.
Happy to entertain edits, commentary, etc. At some point I’ll fire up InDesign and make this a real-looking document, presuming it passes muster here.
