The Caverns of Ooze

A strange green glow haunts the western horizon, and your dreams whisper of something ancient, something imprisoned… something hungry. Hidden beneath the earth, the Caverns of Ooze pulse with eerie bioluminescence, their walls slick with creeping necrotic sludge. Within, grotesque creatures slither from the shadows, and a forgotten entity—sealed away for ages—calls out for release.

The Caverns of Ooze is a one-page dungeon adventure. It's designed for Dungeons & Dragons (3-4 level one characters), but it could easily be adapted for any table-top roleplaying game.

Will you uncover the truth of the Slug Master’s exile? 

Can you claim the powerful Necro Stone without dooming yourselves? 

Or will the crawling horrors lurking in the dark consume you whole?
