Shadowdark – Tomb of the Dusk Queen (One-Shot)

Facilitator: 
Tim Marwick

Beneath a colossal tree of golden leaves lies a forgotten burial mound - the Tomb of the Dusk Queen. Root-choked corridors, deathless guardians, and ancient tricks protect the queen’s treasures from those foolish or brave enough to intrude on her eternal rest.

This is a Shadowdark dungeon delve: light is precious, time is dangerous, and poor decisions are punished swiftly. Players must rely on caution, teamwork, and clever problem-solving to survive - brute force alone will not be enough.

Expect:
- Meaningful choices and environmental danger
- Lethal combat and deadly traps
- Exploration-driven play with strong old-school flavour

Characters are fragile. The dungeon is not.
Those who survive may leave with gold, glory… or something far stranger.
