Chapter 1: Point Crawl

A
collection of 13 valleys based on the ones around Mt. Rainer is Washington state. These valleys can be used on their
own as encounters; you can fill a hex crawl with or in tandem as part of a region in a wilderness exploration game. A
more abstract alternative to a hex crawl is a point crawl where you simply define specific areas the party can move
between. Here are some suggested rules if you would like to run these adventures as part of a point crawl.

Time Rules
While moving or exploring in a pointcrawl time is a factor. The day is broken up into the morning, afternoon, and evening. This
means you have 3 actions per day which can be either moving to a new area or exploring an area.

Movement Rules
An unburdened group can move up to a new connected area in the point crawl for a single action. A ground that is burdened by
treasure or moving through difficult terrain requires 2 actions to move to a new connected area. Adverse weather conditions can
make it more difficult or impossible to travel from one area or into another area.

Exploration Rules
To explore a location choose an exploration target and make a survival check with a dc of 8 + the area's level range (lower number).
On a success you arrive at your destination. On a failure you roll on the discovery table associated with the location.
Exploration
Target: You can name any type of target even if it doesn’t exist in the location. For example you could search for a goblin cave. If
you succeed and the cave exists you arrive at that location. If you succeed and the cave does not exist you roll on the discovery
table but become aware of whatever you discover before it impacts you.

Chapter 2: Factions

A
collection of factions created for levels 1-12 that are intended to give game masters an easy way to introduce enemy
factions into their game. Each faction's page contains a basic summary, tactics the faction would use, a series of
events that can be used to introduce the faction and act as hooks, and three people related to the faction with
information and their goals/flaws. Each faction page also includes encounters with the faction that can be used to fill
dungeons, hideouts, bases of operation, and anything else you might want.

Quick Dungeon
To make a quick 5 room dungeon using one of the faction sheets string together different combinations of guard, trap, room, and
patrol encounters. The boss encounter is optional and you may want it as the cap stone for a quick dungeon or if you want to keep
using the faction you might save the boss encounter for later. An example would be using one encounter from these sections in
order guard, trap, room, patrol, room. You can take some items from the treasure section and add them to a specific encounter or
reward it all after the boss is defeated.

Refilling the Dungeon

A basic concept for mega dungeons is to add new monsters to a dungeon level after it has been cleared. Faction sheets were
designed with this in mind so you should be able to refill your dungeons with encounters from a faction and if a faction is
eliminated you can choose a different faction to fill its spot. This concept works well for any size dungeon if your players are likely
to revisit it.

Uses Outside Dungeons

While a lot of the encounters are mainly useful in a dungeon setting factions are still useful outside that setting. The encounters
can be used anywhere and are a useful tool to have something interesting happen if things are stalling out. The patrols can also be
used in the wilderness if your players are traveling or exploring. The different characters outlined under people can show up in a
lot of different settings for good role playing opportunities as well.

 Chapter 3: Dungeons

A
collection of dungeon encounters that do not
contain monsters. Each dungeon is designed as
a location that can be explored multiple times.
Each encounter works as a standalone or
paired with a monster encounter as a terrain
feature to make the combat more interesting.
Some encounters will alter the dungeon
permanently making sections dangerous or otherwise
impassable requiring new strategies the next time the
dungeon is visited.

Restocking the Dungeon

A core concept to each of these dungeons is that they are
intended to be run multiple times if needed. A dungeon can
be stocked and restocked by taking a random monster table
and rolling 1d8 and if you roll a 7 or an 8 rolling on the
monster table and putting that monster in the room. You can
also just choose encounters you want to do and fill the
dungeon with those. There are a lot of different restocking
methods so it is useful to try out different ideas to find one
you like.

The Map
A simple map is included one each page. The encounters
provided can be used to fill any dungeon however. You should
include any combat encounters or other encounters in the
different rooms that have features. By stacking encounters
and features you can have more dynamic combats with
terrain features or special interactions.

Running as a Mega
Dungeon
Each of these dungeons can be strung together into a large
multi level mega dungeon if desired. The intended order if
you go down this route is using the page order they are
printed in. You can choose to mix up the order or sub in other
dungeons without causing issues.

Writing Your Own

Dungeon
The simple template to make a similar dungeon to the ones
laid out here is to have a purpose, a trap, a secret, mapper
changer (have warning there will be issues on first pass),
terrain, puzzle, secret passages, a treasure for each dungeon.
These will be spread out over multiple encounters and you
may choose to have more than one of some or not include
some. Having variety is important.

The Battle of Crawling Iron

In ancient times there was a wizard whose name has been
forgotten and is now known only as the wizard of ruin. From
his mountain tower he created massive beasts of iron and
magic which he sent out to terrorize the land. Seeking to stop
him 3 great armies of men, dwarves, and elves rose up and
on the slopes of the Tahoma they did battle. At a great cost
the wizard of ruin was defeated and his evil knowledge
destroyed. Even to this day explorers come across strangely
shaped metal from his machines and the remains of fallen
soldiers buried in the earth. --Historian Gehark

The Tale of Bold Bertin
In ages past a terrible demon lord made his home on the
mountain. Evil creatures flocked to bask in the demon lords
shadow and they built a great spire of evil and terrorized the
land. Bertin was just a lad when his family and village was
destroyed by the demon lord leaving him the only survivor. He
took up the sword and through cunning plan and bold action
defeated the demon lords lieutenants. Knowing he could not
defeat the demon lord in an even fight he placed the heart of
a fire elemental in the glacier beneath the demon lord's spire
causing it to melt and the entire area formed lake mowich.
With the spire in ruins Bertin slew the demon lord and
restored peace to the lands and ever since hot water bubbles
