Into the Undermountain - Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Chapter 1

The Mystics of Trollskull Manor return in the first chapter of their new adventure as they delve into the mysterious mega-dungeon of Undermountain to undertake Halaster's Challenge!

The challenge is simple - Defeat the mad arch-wizard Halaster and they each get a wish. Many have tried, most have died. Can our heroes survive?

Here's a hint: Evergreen picked up an obviously cursed sword in the first room she entered. ::

Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Chapter 4
Talk To Me

The party finally meets the object of their quest - Halaster the Mad Mage himself - and their first meeting is not what they expected.

Later, they meet a deranged automaton. Get punked by some intellect devourers. Then get punked by some goblins and bugbears.

Don't worry - our heroes emerge victorious. Bloodied but stronger, smarter, and ready for their next challenge!

Xanathar Sends His Regards - Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Chapter 9

The Mystics of Trollskull Manor decide to retreat to the Goblin Bazaar to rest.

On the way they encounter Halleth Garke - the revenant - who has sword vengeance upon them for leaving him in a pit to rot.

After a tough fight they finally get some rest at the Goblin Bazaar. There Hu-man Patty Johnson and Honorary-Goblin Bearbite (aka Push-ta) orchestrate a little heist against Yek the Tall.

On the way back, they encounter a deadly goblin assassin sent by Xanathar's Guild - retribution for the damage the team has caused to the crime guild.

So, weird question, are you familiar with the Trophy rules set? I'll expand on that if you are, or back away slowly if you aren't. :grin:

No. Please elaborate.

Something I read recently on the Trophy Discord is that a number of DMs are using the Trophy Dark rules to run historical prequels to their 5E (and other) games. Short one-shot things that establish some of the fiction for the main game. Specifically someone used in alongside Mad Mage to chronicle a historical incursion into the dungeon, evidence of which comes up occasionally in the D&D game. Anyway, it sounded really cool. Trophy is super rules light, especially Trophy Dark, so the overhead for running a game like this very low.
