THE TAINTED OSSUARY

A One-Page Fantasy Adventure for Player Levels 2 to 4
Compatible with OSRIC and Most Fantasy RPG systems

The Scalar townsfolk have buried their dead in the ossuary just outside their village for centuries.
However, the arrival of a “mysterious stranger” has stirred up those interred in these catacombs.
The local Sheriff has asked for your help cleansing the place. Will you brave the tainted ossuary?

Greetings adventurers and Game Masters! 

I am pleased to announce release of the fifth adventure in my Old School Series, and my third One-Page Dungeon, THE TAINTED OSSUARY"! This adventure is intended for 4 to 6 new adventurers of levels 2 to 4. In this scenario, which the Game Master may flesh out on their own initiative or simply run "as is", your players will be entering these ancient catacombs, on the request of the local Sheriff, to get the bottom of disturbances among the dead and buried there.

Synopsis: The “mysterious stranger” the villagers speak of was a treasure hunter named Slif Yorgen. He came here following rumours about a powerful wizard, known as the Magister. Legends claim she had the power to raise the dead and control frost magics; and that she was buried with her prized magics in this ossuary, near her birthplace. Slif found and dug up her tomb, but he struck an underground aquifer in the process, flooding the catacombs. Sadly, he learned the legends were only partially true: the Magister was interred here with her magic…but she was not quite dead!

This one-page generic scenario is written to be compatible with OSRIC, most retroclones and should be useable with any FRPG ruleset. 

PLEASE NOTE: This book is presented in LANDSCAPE format, so when printing it out it is important to adjust your double-sided printing to flip the book on the SHORT-EDGE and not the long-edge, or the back pages will be upside down. This also means the quick preview here may appear squished into portrait mode, sorry. Below is a preview of what the cover (and book) looks like in landscape format.

PLUS you also get a free copy of my 2021 Starry Knight Press Catalog, which has information on all of my modules and supplements, as well as maps of the known portions of my campaign world of Terrans, and bonus content (new monsters and magic items for OSR/5E) from my published books!

I hope you and your players enjoy this scenario. Thank you for supporting Starry Knight Press!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
