The Lands of Bone Hill
Explore Lands Worn Down by Darkness, Brave Haunted Ruins and Hidden
Dungeons, and Root Out Gathering Evils in this OSR Sandbox Module
*
The kingdom of Haven has recently been freed from its magical
slumber, thwarting the ambitions of a power-hungry arch-fey in the
process. As trusted agents of the throne you are charged to escape the
agents of her rivals, assess what has come of Haven's lands while it
slept, and restore contact with haven's allies to the southeast. You
must journey through dangerous lands, survive marauding bands and
hostile soldiers, seek allies, and aid those allies in clearing the
lands of orcs, undead, corrupt priests, and hidden dangers. Gameplay Information * Enjoy
a strange and dark land, crouching in the faded shadow of a
centuries-ago war, the ruins of the lost civilization just beneath the
rocky ground, groves full of dark fey and restless graveyards,
monsterous bandits stalking darkened roads, and a suspicious and
superstitious population who huddle behind guarded gates and ward the
spirits from their door with circles of salt.
Enjoy hardcore-style play with tactical combat, unbalanced
encounters, and clever monsters! Make choices that affect the world!
Create a character that will become a hero, make a name for themselves,
and work to fight the growing darkness! Play in the spirit of OSR in the
D&D Basic module updated for 5e! It is very much a sandbox, with
NPCs, locations, and secrets to unlock!
Original Adventure Text
“Danger lurks in the Lendore Isles. Bands of evil creatures prowl the
hills overlooking the town of Restenford, seeking unwary victims. Now
you have come to the sleepy little village looking for adventure and
excitement. You seek to fathom the unexplored reaches of Bone Hill and
unlock the mysteries of Restenford.”

party has entered the area of Bone Hill, a darkness hangs over the land.
They have scoured a bandit hideout, found a deed to an abandoned house,
and have found a restless graveyard in an old thicket, currently cleave
their way through zombies as the approach a wailing host.
The party encountered a ghost in a restless
old graveyard. The phantom rogue was able to speak with it, with the aid
of the party wizard. Turns out it was once general an ally to their
patroness. He seeks his old knight's crest, which was taken by local
graverobbers. Join us this week as the party attempts to scour the
area of some oversized insects from a gorge near an abandoned house they
recently claimed!
Now the party (3 halflings and a kobold) have stumbled into the secret of bone hill! A
connection between the dark fey Arik, the sundancer gang, and the
mysterious ruins of bone hill. The party has fought their way into the
gang's hideout, through roper traps, giant spiders, and a clever series
of ambushes. Now the small company is inside planning their next move
through the decrepit forest manor, and wondering what the next move of
the gang will be. They know that the graverobbing thugs have more tricks
in store for the invading pcs!
