Wuzzits Dunshn BoyzAn old-fashioned Dungeon-Crawl with a Magical Weapon Reward at the End

by PzVIE

Based on the Maps of Dungeon Crawl Classics #1: Die Idyllen des Rattenknigs

This dungeon crawl was created to reward a player of mine for his outstanding portrayal ofhis Knight Panther character. I know that he always wanted a magic sword, and I plannedto give him one. We were in the middle of the Path of the Damned campaign. If you haveplayed that, you surely remember poor Dwarf Grunbar, who forged the swords and wasthrown into the Iron Tower in Nuln because of his little side-business. He promised my PCthat he will give away the secret of the resting place of Heinrich Thorsteiner and his magicsword, a secret he learned from a descendant of a follower of Heinrich Thorsteiner, aSigmarite Warrior priest who needed the aid of a weapon smith. After the work was done,

both went to the pub and got totally drunk. Here the priest told Grunbar the secret, but heeventually forgot about it the next morning, having a huge hangover. Grunbar planned tovisit this dungeon, but his business kept him always too busy for such an enterprise. Whenthe PCs visited him in the Iron Tower, he was willing to trade the secret for his freedom.With all the contacts the players should have at the end of the Path of the Damnedcampaign, it should be easy for them to free the poor Dwarf. He will keep his word and sothe PCs can go on the quest to find the resting place and the magic sword of HeinrichThorsteiner. More about the story of Heinrich Thorsteiner and his sword can be found inthe appendix.

The Dungeon is located in the Grey Mountains. Dunbar knows the following: Follow the

River Felsenwasser upstream from Auggen into the Grey Mountains, move always leftwhenever the river separates, after 20 miles or so you will discover the entrance of an old,abandoned silver mine. In there, you should find the tomb of Heinrich Thorsteiner.

This mine was in use until 1993 when it became depleted and deserted. From that time on,various Goblin clans used the mine as their home. At the moment, it is the headquarters ofthe Dunshn Boyz, a Goblin clan lead by a Gobbo named Whuzzit.

All corridors in the dungeon have a width of 2 metres and are 2 metres high. Using 2-handed weapons should impose a WS-Penalty of 20%. All doors are wooden, have TB5, 16 Wounds and are considered helpless(1d10 extra Damage). When you describe thevarious corridors and rooms to your players, dont be as exact as the map is. This was a

silver mine, so a room is in fact a chamber, where they worked the walls and extractedthe precious metals. So the walls arent that fair and straight as the maps show. From timeto time, there are wooden supports in the corridors. Destroying such a support has a 5%chance of a cave-in. Destroying 2 consecutive supports has a 20% chance, 3 a 40%chance, 4 a 60% chance and so on. Just for the case your players come up with wondrousideas (they are adventurers, of course). A Dwarf in your group should be speechless bysuch shoddy work a dwarfen mine would have been much better constructed, you know!

And one final word: Im not a native English speaker, so this document is surely full ofgrammatical errors and strange wording Im sorry for this! Coming from a small countryin the eastern Alps, my native language is German and even the German think that we

Austrians do not speak German (which is total nonsense the Germans are the ones whoarent able to speak proper German!). However, hereby I apologize! Have fun!

Level 1: Home of the Goblin Warriors

Not all Goblins are here. Two groups are out, scouting; each group consisting of 12Goblins and one Lieutenant. You can use one of these groups for an ambush against theplayers on their way to the dungeon, if you enjoy a little action. If you think your PCs aredoing too well in the dungeon, you may always have the other group come back andinvestigate the missing or dead watchmen.

1-1 Watch Room:2 Goblins, both are distracted by a fight over a bottle of booze

1-5 Inner Sentry Room:Empty

1-6 Secret Chamber:The Goblins havent found that chamber yet.

In the room is an

old chest with more than 200 years old clothing (then of Best Quality), 12 gc,18/4 coins. Furthermore, there are 5 rusty lanterns with candles. .

Empty

2-24 Empty:In front of the door is a bored Goblin sentry which watches theentrance to level 3. This entrance is just a huge manhole with an iron ladder toclimb down. The hole is still too small for the giant spider to fit through, still, thesentrys job is to ensure that no thingies surprise the clan from below.

Level 3: Realm of the Spider

any There are no doors on this level. In room 33 is a Giant Spider, which movestowards the noise, the PCs create. This creature was born here and will diehere, because it is now too big to fit through the openings. Sometimes, theGoblins throw rotten food through the manhole in room 31 to feed the beast.It keeps the rat population under control. In room 35 is a similar opening as inroom 221/31 which leads down to level 4.

Well, if you wonder how that spider grew here, just image a Goblin or anyother creature having a spider egg stuck to their clothes. They lost the egg atlevel 3 and out there, voila, hatched a spider. He fed on small insects, then onrats, grew big and fat and only waits for our heroes to make a noise

Level 4: The Mother Lode

any Heinrich Thorsteiners vault is in room 412. He lies in a sarcophagus, thesword in his hands. This sarcophagus is entirely made of stone; its lid hasengraved a short story of Heinrich Thorsteiner (see appendix below).

Through the halls and rooms floats the Banshee Gina Godtgraf. Many yearsago, when the mine was still operated, she betrayed her husband (a mineworker) with another man, and to get rid of her old husband, she murdered himin cold blood, in this very level of the mine. Shortly after that her lover left herfor another woman and she died of grief and guilt. Since then, she wandersthe halls of level 4 and tries to kill every Goblin (or other living thing) whichenters this level.

All the rooms are empty and show traces of mining activities.

The Sword of Heinrich Thorsteiner

Magic Object: Greenskinner

A Best Quality Sword, with a Twin Tailed Comet engraved at both sides at the start of theshaft, which glows with an eerie green light when wielded.

Academic Knowledge: Theology

Powers: Apart from the +5% Weapon Skill Bonus being of Best Quality, it gives anadditional +5% to Weapon Skill and +1 to Damage against Greenskins and counts as amagical weapon, imbued with Sigmarite Divine Magic.

Side Effects: A Greenskin touching the sword will burn its hand, suffering 1 Wound perturn holding it.

History: The sword was forged by the Dwarfen blacksmith Gorki Tunningson from KhazidGrimaz in the year 2009 as a present to his human friend, the Sigmarite Warrior PriestHeinrich Thorsteiner. At the beginning, it was a normal sword, without any magiccapabilities. But Heinrich was a true and devout Sigmarite, who dedicated his life battlingthe Greenskin menace. He and his small party consisting of other warrior priests, some

Dwarfs and a number of fanatic flagellants searched the Grey Mountains for any traces ofGreenskin activity and fought many battles against this age-old foe of Mankind andDwarfenhood. The miracle happened during a particularly brutal battle. Heinrich and hisparty were entrapped by a tribe of Orcs, and things looked bad for them. They wereoutnumbered three to one, and the Orcs closed in. Heinrich, on his knees, prayed toSigmar, not to spare his life, but to help destroying the Greenskins and save his followers.His prayers were answered. In the upcoming battle, he fought furiously, slaying Orc afterOrc, the sword in his hand glowing green where the icon of the twin-tailed comet was, andhis followers, be it Dwarf or Human, followed his path of destruction and the battle wasfinally won. Heinrich, bleeding from several mortal wounds, collapsed after the last Orcwas slain and was buried by his followers in a now unknown spot in the Grey Mountains.

They built him a sarcophagus in an abandoned silver mine, laid his body in it with theSword on his breast and left the Grey Mountains forever.
