Dungeonquest Campaign
At the foot of Dragonfire Mountain lies a huddled village. Centuries ago, the forefathers of the poor villagers decided to build their futures in the shadow of the majestic mountain, and every day since then, the villagers have paid dearly for the folly of their ancestors. The villagers eke out a meagre living in under the watchful eye of the tyrannical dragon, and are bound to pay horrific tributes, lest the dragon should burn the village to the ground.
The villagers cling to a prophecy proclaiming that in the hour of their direst need, a champion will come to deliver them from the dragon. Perhaps, this time is now.......
Campaign Rules
When playing a Dungeonquest Campaign, any
characters who manage to survive the perils of the dungeon, is allowed to return
and attempt to steal more gold from under the dragons snout. While taking a
breather from the rigours of battle, the would be champion of the village can
also spend his gold on equipment which will prove valuable on future adventures.
When a character returns alive from a trip
into the dungeons, the player should make a note of who played the character,
how much gold he brought back, and that he is now a champion of the village. The
hero donates 90% of the gold he just earned to the thankful villagers, and keeps
the remaining gold for himself.
These 10% of the loot can then be used to buy equipment from the list below, or
can be saved for future purchases.
On future adventures he gets to bring any equipment that he has purchased, as well as any rope and left-over potions that he may have found in his previous expeditions. He also gets to either recharge his magic ring, or pick a new one if he wishes, but he may still only bring one magic ring on his adventure.
In time, the hero may even convince the villagers that he is indeed the champion of the prophecy, take up the ancient dragonscale armor, and confront the dragon in a battle to the death!
