ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
You and your friends heard of the legend of Crescent Well, a secluded stronghold deep in the woods. Run supposedly by a beautiful and cruel baroness, you have heard over and over again warnings in your village to travelers and outsiders to stay clear of the premises, or risk being captured and never seen again. You and your friends test each other’s courage and camp the night near the edge of the woods - and find out the hard way that the stories were true. Now fearing for your lives, you try to find a way to escape the dungeon you find yourselves in and survive the now very long night.
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Hell’s Garden is a challenging dungeon crawl escape designed for a 1st level party of four to six adventurers. The DM is being nice, and leveling you to 3rd level for this adventure so you don’t die immediately. The party awakens trapped beneath the cursed castle of Crescent Well. To survive the horrors ahead, they must seize every opportunity and outwit the dungeon’s many dangers. But looming over it all is the enigmatic Baroness Gryma Trandafir, whose dark obsession threatens not just their lives, but their souls.
