Free OSR - Cavern of the Creeping Terror (3rd Level OSR Adventure)


Cavern of the Creeping Terror is an OSR adventure, loosely based on "The Glus from Deltora Quest, the arctic horror of The Thing, and Grendel’s mother’s lair from Beowulf". I can reference two out of three (Deltora Quest is new to me). For PWYW, I've added Cavern of the Creeping Terror to my collection of Ready-To-Go adventures.

Undead frost pirates, mad imprisoned fae, and a pile of loot guarded by a monstrous slug...

A third level OSR adventure featuring a three-tiered, 22 cavern dungeon adaptable for fantasy roleplaying systems with a light horror aesthetic. Includes:

  • A system neutral bestiary
  • A horde of loot for greedy adventurers
  • Possibility for diplomacy, betrayal, and a seaside village on the precipice of destruction

Inspired by Beowulf, The Thing, and Deltora Quest. 

"This adventure delivers that evocative style over and over again...This one has the spirit of D&D..."
