The Slave Mines of Vindicus the Terrible

Note: A 0-level one-shot using Barbarians of the Ruined Earth, a fast, rules-lite RPG inspired by Thundarr the Barbarian, Mad Max, and He-Man. Character creation is minimal and happens at the table. Rules taught at the table.

A cheesy, over-the-top adventure inspired by 1980s Saturday morning cartoons and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom!

You are prisoners in the mines beneath the fortress of the cruel sorcerer Vindicus. When chaos erupts in the fortress, you finally have a chance to escape.

Each player controls four children, working together to survive the mines. The dangers of Vindicus's fortress are far too much to face head-on, so you'll need to hide, sneak, run, climb, scheme, and improvise your way to freedom.
