Description of the adventure: The gates of Ødelagtborg had long sealed away more danger than treasure. Now something beneath them has begun to press back. A crack has formed in the ancient stone, and the sealing magic that once rebuked every attempt to escape has been dispelled. Under the relentless assault of what lay dormant below, the gate has begun to yield, buckling beneath wild necrotic force like an ancient dam before a rising flood.

Scouts from the Fort of the First Fist were the first to see the signs: necrotic beasts crawling out onto a surface unseen for centuries. At first, that alone was enough to stir alarm. But the fear those creatures inspire quickly gives way to a far worse realization—something drove them out. For behind them comes an army. Not a rabble of mindless horrors, but a disciplined and calculating force, strategic in its movements and deliberate in its purpose. As the fleeing beasts race west toward Åkerstad, a formidable host gathers amid the ruined surface of Ødelagtborg.

You know what those necrotic beasts will do if they reach Åkerstad. Left unchecked, they will tear through the town in a night of slaughter. If you do not intervene, the settlement will fall. The only question is how many can still be saved?

These will give you a feel for the region and playstyle I enjoy running.

Magic users: Skalheim is a low-magic setting, and the Skalheim doc is continually updated to clarify how magic works and which spells are allowed or modified to maintain the desired feel of that setting. Please review before each session, as things may change over time.
