Whose Catacomb Is This?
The city-states of Ogleth are still rebuilding their civilization three generations after a civil war between mage-lords destroyed their nation and a purge of magical knowledge erased much of their history. When a gang of bandits begins uncovering lost magical weapons in a fortified tomb, a team of temple-approved archaeologists is sent to root them out and discover the nature of the forgotten threat. This one-shot draws inspiration from the "The Archives are Unreliable" 4th Street Panel last year, as well as movies like The Mummy and fantasy comedies-of-manners such as Lois McMaster Bujold's Penric books, or T. Kingfisher's Clockwork Boys & Paladin series, among others.
Sign-ups will be open until April 16th or until all available sessions are full.
